ALL TIED UP

One thing nobody tells you about when you’re pregnant is that your feet get bigger, not in length (that really would be weird) but width; and especially if its hot. They’re a bit like post-flight feet, a bit swollen,a bit uncomfortable, basically not ideal. I had Florence in July last year, it was pretty hot and it’s fair to say I was even wedging on my trusty Havaianas by that stage. Not a good look.

However if you’re pregnant now, lucky for you the sandal trend of the summer is pretty preggo friendly. Remember the lace up Gladiator sandal from last year? Well its had one hell of an makeover, it’s pretty much carnival ready. OK yes, so you may need a little help to tie them up for you as you’re bump gets bigger but it’ll be so worth it as they so look pretty! And the best bit? As you’re feet get bigger you can just do them up looser, no more wedging in power required! Boom!

Stick your neck out

It’s the easiest (and cheapest) Spring wardrobe sprucer around. The neck scarf has been around since the AW15 shows from the likes of Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton and on into Spring Summer at Emporio Armani. And they’re going nowhere fast by the look of it as the high street has followed suit. I have to say I was sceptical at first, thinking it could look more flight steward than stylish, but with all the prints to choose from, you’re bound to find one that’ll work with your existing wardrobe. I went for a paisley print from Asos to wear over a plain round neck knit or with breton stripes.
