Last weekend, I attended the 2018 New York Baby Show and it was once again the must-attend event for planning, expecting and new parents.  From car seats, strollers, to building your dream nursery are the things that separate this show from the rest.  It is exactly what makes this event a must attend each and every year.

This Spring, its all about bright hues, florals and most importantly comfort, so for all you moms-to-be out there, here are few pieces that every mom-to-be should think about when shopping…It will leave you feeling and looking like one hot mama-to-be.

1. Spring is brighter than ever – Don’t expect a day-glo orange, but rather a matte version that looks just as polished. Cue to Beyonce’s big reveal at the 2011 VMAs, who flaunted her baby bump in a fiery orange one-shoulder wrap dress.  (Try: Jules & Jim Women’s Maternity Sleeve Less Dress With Belt, $57)
2. So technically this isn’t a maternity dress, but a maxi dress is an essential piece for every mom-to-be. Not only is a maxi-dress comfy and stylish, but can worn from day to night. Pair it with a (sensible!) pair of heels or ballet flats to complete the look. (Try: Jessica Simpson Maxi Dress, $52.50) View Post
