First comes love, then comes marriage. Then comes nine nauseous months and a baby in an overpriced baby carriage.
Whether it’s your own bump or a mailbox full of shower invites, there’s no escaping baby talk these days. We’ve got bellies covered, from fertilization to first fashions.
What to expect Consider Noppies, the chic line of pants and pencil skirts from the Netherlands in basic colors to get through your entire pregnancy, regardless of the season. You can find it at Nine Maternity, which also stocks fun dresses and denim.
When the water breaks Welcome the bundle of joy with a trendy gift from upscale baby boutique Mint Baby or from Indulge Decor, where the upstairs nursery space is a haven filled with tiny luxuries.
Where to shop chic Put a teething ring on it, or find the kind of bedding and cribs sweet dreams are made of at Nest & Cot, the make-you-coo baby shop owned by two stylish sisters. We also heart their new Gypsy Clutch for toting baby gear on-the-go.
Why not buy baby’s first label? Family-owned, local Sama Baby turns out super-soft organic baby clothes (pictured). We love the new dark wash denim for kids, lined with their trademark elephant print. Collection available online and at specialty retailers like Hip Hop Lollipop, Bering’s and Mint Baby.
Place an online order with Sama Baby before May 20th and you’ll get a free bib with your order. (No promo code necessary.)
