Preggers Pause: What I'll still be using after the twins come

It's almost time to have these babies and I'm getting rid of everything that says I was preggers like my tired, worn out flip flops and the couple of pieces I actually bought that were maternity that are just DONE.  Except for a couple of items that I'm holding on to.  Here are a few things that I say can be used/worn even if you aren't preggers:

Beauty:

Zoe Organics: I won a couple of the products in a Citrus Lane giveaway and instantly fell in love!  It's all natural and smells yummy!

Mama Mio: I received this as a gift with my first pregnancy and fell in LOVE!  This pregnancy I realized that Mama Mio Omega Body Buff Exfoliator can be used for the body and for the face!  It smells so good and it feels great on the face too!  I'll be getting my refill soon:)

Fashion:

Isabella Oliver:  I was offered to receive any piece I wanted from the label and decided on the Eva Knit Waistcoat that felt like I could wear both during my pregnancy and after.  I hate the idea of paying for or even getting something for free and getting rid of it after the pregnancy is over.  I think this piece will be just as cute after and can't wait to incorporate it into my everyday wardrobe.  Side note: This will also be a great piece while I'm breastfeeding.

Hatch Collection:  I honestly haven't purchased anything yet...but, their spring/summer line has gone on sale and I'm honestly just waiting around until it hits the price point where I'm ready to give in:)  I've been writing about them since I got preggers:)  Stay tuned for which item I end up getting and how I rock it!

Just saying: The 6 Best Mommy Brands You are Going to Want to ROCK Right Now

Since becoming a mommy I've started to go through my closet and really consider what will work for me now and what I just need to let go of.  During the process, I've also been finding brands that really speak to the ever evolving moi:)  These are all brands that are designed by mommy's and I think keep moms looking fashionable, but are still functional.  The great thing is, anyone can wear any of these amazing labels.  Are there any you would recommend?

Tucker by Gaby Basora

Amazing dresses and now offers pants and shirts.  LOVE the prints and how you can dress up or down the dresses she designs.

TWO New York

I love my caftan by TWO NYC!  So comfy!  Great for travel, lounging at home, or if you are like me everyday wear:)

LemLem NYC

The model who designs these pieces goes to Ethiopia to have them designed.  I can't wait to own a dress!

Ace & Jig

I just learned about this label who used to design La Rok!  Now that they are mommies they are designing this line which I think has a mother-earthy vibe I'm digging.

Hatch Collection

This is a popular maternity line that women in NYC and probably elsewhere are also rocking.  They just came out with their fall line and I'm in LOVE!  Their spring line is on sale so check out the sale section.

Cleobella

This line is so cool!  Everything from home to accessories and clothes with an earthy feel.  Great prices too!

*Hatch Collection blog called, Out and About-Hatch Collection is a line I plan on wearing after pregnancy...honestly I'm waiting for a sale to jump in on the amazing pieces:)  Until then, I check out the blog weekly.

*The Glow-It's a GENIUS blog/site that highlights women in the fashion industry that are mommies!  So much inspiration...from how they stay stylish and stay in their business and still keep a family.

*B Jones Style-She usually shares a lot about fashion and now is preggers so shares how she is styling her new baby bump.  ADDICTED!

*Justina Blakeney-I found this blogger on Pinterest and she is the epitome of style and edge with a bohemian all natural twist.  She just had her daughter and I can't wait to see her new posts now that she is a mommy!

I'm so excited about my recent fashion finds that can be worn while I am preggers with TWINS right now and after.  I really don't want to lose my style after having twins and taking care of 3 kids.  I just can't give in to wearing sweats, maybe sometimes...and wearing them in a fun, unique way.  But, I've recently found these couple of brands that make me feel like I can do it easily and comfortably.  

*Hatch Collection is a maternity line that is like no other.  I've already shared about them here.  But, they are just so amazing and I love how their styles go with the shoes I just had to share again:)
*TWO NY is a caftan company that started because of two mothers that wanted clothing that was comfortable and chic.  I love how they use textiles and sari's to create these amazing caftans!  I am getting the Monica caftan for my Bday, so get ready to see me rocking this soon:)   Also, don't miss the opportunity to buy the collection on a site called, EDITION01.  I just signed up today.  You can usually purchase through the designers via their site, but I think this site would be fun and if you sign up and use my invite you can receive a $100 gift card for the site!
*Mohop Shoes:  I found out about this through the BUMP IT UP website.  And although she was giving these shoes as an option for preggers ladies, they are perfect for anyone.  They come in low, mid and high heel heights.  At one time I wouldn't have even considered the low and mid...but, now that's all I'm thinking about;)  I also love that the straps can also be vintage sari's!  How genius!!
* Avarcas USA: I just found out about these shoes through a fab blogger, Love Maegan.  I saw them on her instagram page and had to find out more about them.  They come in flats and a slight wedge.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!  They are made in Spain and you can so see the Spanish influence!  Plus, they are such a reasonable price: $75 flats, $85 wedge.  They also offer men's and kids styles so I will have to get some mommy & me and daddy & me styles going as well:)
