In celebration of Bastille Day, we wanted to pay a little homage to just how effortlessly chic our French friends always seem to be.  Simple patterns and colors, classic silhouettes and nothing too overdone is our view on Parisian style. In a color palette of whites and greys, we left you room to play with city backdrops and pops of pink; so, go on and la vie en rose.

Our featured pull on maternity skirt is for now and after the baby arrives. Lightweight crepe and pleats make it friendly for all seasons, perfectly paired with a simple white maternity tee or a sweater come autumn.

Our new mamas can add a playful touch with sophisticated polka dots. We are shining a style spotlight on this maternity/nursing dress from French label, Envie de Fraise. With a hidden lift up design, you can go from sightseeing to breastfeeding without an outfit change. It is shown in white with navy dots, but it also comes in navy with red.
