Win a Yummie Tummie Control Nursing Tank Top!

I recently had the chance to try out the Yummie Tummie Nursing T Tank. This tank is perfect for new nursing moms. The Yummie Tummie Nursing T Tank really does help to smooth a post pregnancy belly. The tank features adjustable straps and clasps for easy nursing access. The fabric on the top and bottom of the tank looks just like a regular tank top, so it can peek out underneath your regular tops and tunics. The middle section smooths the stomach from under your bust to the top of your hips. I personally liked the feeling of gentle support on the tummy and didn't find it uncomfortable at all. I also found that this did not ride up like some shape-wear. The Yummie Tummie Nursing T Tank retails for $82.00, comes in black, white and nude and is available in sizes x-small - x-large.

Win your very own Yummie Tummie Nursing T Tank in your choice of color and size! To enter simply email us at contests@stellamaternity.com or leave a comment here.

The giveaway will end on November 30th. Winner will be announced December 1st! Contest is open to USA residents only.

We recently found and added to our offerings the Plum Pretty Sugar line of nursing pajamas and robes. This line uses the prettiest fabrics we have ever seen. The gorgeous lush cotton voile fabrics were found during the designer's travels in India. The line consists of kimono style robes, in knee or ankle length, and tank and loungepant sets. The best thing about this line is that it works for nursing and long after!

You will want to live in these pieces! They are so chic, that you will always be ready for company dropping by without notice. The robes are also great to take to the hospital or birthing center, to wear after the baby is born. You will be picture ready!

Baby and Maternity Photography!

I am in love with the images created by Annapolis based Bitsy Baby maternity and baby photography. The maternity photographs capture the beauty and ripeness of pregnancy in a tasteful and artistic way. The baby photographs are so pure and innocent. In black or white or color, she uses simple accessories and really captures the sweetness of a newborn baby. My personal favorite is the baby in the basket shown here. A true piece of art!

The artist, Rita, has been in the photography industry for over 15 years. She worked as a wedding photographer in Hawaii for several years before moving to Annapolis and concentrating on maternity and newborn portraits. She serves clients of the greater Annapolis, Baltimore, D.C. and Northern Virginia areas. She can also offer special travel packages if you are out of state or at a greater distance.

Wow, spring is really in the air! Today it was like 18 degrees with a lot of sunshine here! So I thought that this wonderful weather needed some cheerful flower leggings from the H&M garden collection. I combined it with a Zara jacket and Zara boots.

Whisful thinking

I was wearing everything from Zara yesterday.. Love Zara, it is definitely my favourite shop! And I am so happy today because I already got weekend now because one of our projects at school haven't started yet! One more day off is a blessing because I normally only got the sunday off because I work on saturdays. So today it's all about relaxing.. Saturdayevening we are going to celebrate the birthday of my boyfriend, so that's nice. And what are your plans for the weekend?

H&M Garden Collection

Yesterday it was the release of the H&M Garden Collection and that's why I did some online shopping!I bought the dress and the skirt with the top from the pics below. I will receive them end of march and I will make some pics when I wear them then! And did you buy anything from the Garden Collection?

Hippy chic

I was so inspired by the Rich Little Hippy shoot I posted a few days ago that I wanted to do my own hippy shoot! This dress is a Missoni look a like dress I bought at Sustilo. It's similar as the one Nicole Richie was wearing.

By the way, I need some inspiration for my schoolproject. We have a streetwear project that begins this week. I have a thousand thoughts but not something really smashing.. But I have got some time to do some research and sketch and I am sure that something good will turn up!

Chanel tattoo

Wow, the Chanel tattoos are now available at the Chanel website and in the Chanel boutiques! They only cost 75 dollar for a box with 50 tattoos! I could definitely see me wearing a Chanel tattoo on my legs with my clogs this summer! What do you think about wearing the tattoos?

Strolling around in my gold harems

At first, I really want to thank you all for your sweet comments, they really make my day! But today it was a typical lazy sunday and I need that in my hectic life of 60 hours of school and work. I went out yesterday because it was one of my best friends birthday and we had so much fun and we met some great people! Only my head is pounding a bit now from the couple of martini´s I had as I am not used to drinking alcohol anymore (I am getting old..).
But today my boyfriend and I went for a quick stroll around the small harbour close to my house and I wore my H&M gold harem pants, H&M blazer,Zara top and Zara boots.

Hope you had a nice weekend too!

XOXO
