Wrap up


If you are still reading all the fashion glossies, and wishing you could join in, you will know that the 'cardi/coat' is one of this season's key looks. Which is great if you're pregnant because you don't have to be stick thin to pull the look off! Brilliant! Plus, now the days are getting colder and the nights drawing in there's nothing better than getting really cosy in a favourite piece of knitwear. For daytime, the cardi/coat is great as it doubles as a jacket (until it gets really cold and then you really will need to invest in a coat), and for evenings-in it's perfect to cosy up with on the sofa. We have some beautiful knitwear this season and our very own 'cardi/coat' is the Milker Knit Jacket in a lovely deep purple colour. It's a mohair mix, so feels very luxurious but is machine washable (hoorah!). Available at the store, 82 North Road Brighton BN1 1YD or on-line www.mamissima.co.uk

New season maternity dresses


It's that time of year when the weather is getting a bit colder and we're thinking about changing our wardrobe over into winter, which may mean (hopefully)a few little treats (yippee!). Or you and your bump may just be blooming at such a rate you really do need to invest in a couple of new pieces to see you through the last few months. It's easy to get trapped into the leggings and t-shirt comfort zone, and who can blame you, because at the end of the day, it has to be about comfort. However, we have a huge collection of fabulous maternity dresses which will make you feel stylish and comfortable. Our model Laura is not pretending with that bump, she is very pregnant and we have it on very good authority (from her) that all the dresses she modelled for us are super comfy. My favourite is this Pietro Brunelli Cashmere Dress, it looks gorgeous, can be worn smart or casual, on its own or over jeans, and is designed to grow with you and your bump. It will also see you through the months after the birth so a really good investment. And it's exclusive to us in the UK, so you won't see it anywhere else! Go on, have a little treat, you definitely deserve it.
