My favourites from their selection has to be the Seraphine wrap coat and the Wool Mix Classic coat from JoJo Maman Bebe.

If you’re liking the ‘puffa’ styled coats, make sure they have a good fit, else you’re going to be looking rather chunky … those coats add pounds to even the smallest frames, especially the longer length ones!

It gives me that festival feeling ....

I just spotted this maternity waterfall parker over at Topshop and straight away I thought of the impending festival season …. I guess I should add a festival inspired post to my to do list! Anyway, this lovely parker is great for right now too. Although spring has sprung, there’s still a rather damp chill in the air, so  for £65 this is a must. And I know it will sell out.

3 Stages of the M Coat

This coat has been on my radar for a few months now. I am in two minds about it. I’ll tell you why. In stage 1, I am not too keen on the cut of it. In stage 3 state, it’s not what i would wear. However, stage 2 in bloody brilliant. When my little one was new, I used to sling her up a lot and go dog walking. I lived on the sea front. She was an October baby, so I used to ‘wear’ her under my coat, well the other half’s coat as she wouldn’t fit under mine. So for stage 2, I think this coat is fab.

I have now showed this to four pregnant people I know. Three of them liked stage 3 (“it’s a classic simple shape – you can’t go wrong with it”) but all of them agreed that stage 1 cut wasn’t too good. We’re not sure if it’s the photo though. It’s the bit with what looks like a pleat at the bottom that we’re not keen on – it’s actually the effect of a drawstring … I think. And all of them loved stage 2.

This coat does have a few pluses – it’s available in a wide range of colours and sizes (I like the Hot Chocolate and Raisin best):

M Coat Colours and Sizes

It’s been picked up by a load of resellers – mostly in Canada, where this product originated. At the moment, there appears to be only one UK reseller, Blossom Mother & Child. I will be contacting them and asking for further information – like how well it has sold, and what’s going on with that front maternity panel!

Now for the not so good news … it costs £366. Not the cheapest jacket around, even if it’s superbly functional.

I’d welcome your views on this one readers!

ASOS maternity jacket

If you have not yet snapped up a coat, it’s not too late. If you’re on the look out for one, you could do a lot worse than this Double Breasted Button Down Coat from ASOS. It’s in the sale, down to £54 from £90. Bargain.

Did you know you can find us on Twitter and Facebook too?!?

I spotted this over at New Look.

It’s not maternity, but will work perfectly with a bump.

So if you want to be part of the faux fur revival that’s sweeping the high street (remember we mentioned it ages ago!) then this is a great way of being on trend without damaging the bank balance.

£54.99. Sizes 6 to 18.

Bargain.

Next Maternity Jacket £40

I think I may be getting a bit of addiction to maternity jackets! Perhaps because it’s so cold at the moment, or maybe simply because there are so many nice ones out there this season. Like this little number. It’s from Next Maternity and costs £40. Not bad I thought, and it seems I’m not the only one, how’s this for a fantastic review:
