Reb’s Street Style Maternity Photos

Let’s start this one out by saying, going into this shoot I was kicking myself for not scheduling our maternity photos sooner.  I was 35 weeks when we took these, and I really wish I had scheduled them around 30 weeks. At 30 weeks I felt better and, in my opinion, looked better. Cute bump and not all the swelling.  Luckily for me, Johnny assured me that I looked great so I decided to just embrace the hot, sweaty, pregnant bod for the photos.

SO, LET’S TALK OUTFITS.

ACTUALLY… FIRST: DECIDE ON LOCATION + VIBE. 

Naturally, I had a hard time deciding on a location and a vibe, so I decided to do more than one location and not two but three different vibes.  We went with Romantic/Ethereal, Street Style & Sleek/Sexy.   I started out with one big long blog post for all three looks but it was going to be INTENSE so I decided to create three different posts. Here you’ll find my tips for a sleek and sexy shoot. For the others, click through below to find a full post on the vibe you are looking for.

Chic Maternity Brands

hatch collection dress

Dressing during pregnancy is not easy. No matter what. At the beginning, you can just size up and everything pretty much works.  But, the farther along you get, it is clear that there is a reason why maternity clothes exist.  Sometimes sizing up makes clothes fit weird in all the wrong places and you need something made specifically for your pregnant bod.

The kicker about stylish maternity clothes, though, is they tend to be a little pricier, but to me it is worth it.  If you get a few closet staples that make it just a little easier to get dressed each day, it makes all the difference.  Here are my favorite brands that make quality maternity clothes that will make you feel good in your *strange* changing, miraculous body.

They are adding new styles and colors to their site almost daily, so you always have a great selection to choose from. Use code REBECCAPIERSOL25 to save when you shop at Pink Blush. (more…)

Abercrombie Dresses For Summer That Work with a Bump

abercrombie bump friendly dressI have been seeing these Abercrombie dresses floating around on my friends on instagram and was dying to know if they worked on a bump. After doing a real quick search to see if anyone had shared them on a pregnant bod, I didn’t find anything! SO, I ordered 5 that I had my eyes on so that my pregnant friends & followers could see how they look.

I 1000% endorse all of these to you guys, bump or no bump. Abercrombie has really stepped up their game and the quality matches the prices. All are definitely worth it if you ask me. Looking forward to getting a lot of wear out of these this summer. Which is your favorite?!

TRAVELER MINI DRESS 

This dress is ALLLLL over the ‘gram and high on the list of influencer favorites. I was dying to try it.  I was pleasantly surprised!! It has built in shorts, comes in a bunch of different colors and is super comfortable. I can see myself wearing it running errands and throwing it on to run out of the house during the summer. I ordered the Medium Tall for a little extra length because of the bump. (more…)

RESTOCK ALERT: FREE PEOPLE MARINA DRESS

free people marina dress

This Free People Marina Dress was by far one of my best sellers last year and I am thrilled that they restocked it this summer!

no, you aren’t seeing things, there isn’t a baby bump here, these photos are from last summer and just never made into a full blog post ( just a lil web story ). 

This mini dress is such a fun piece to have in your closet for literally any occasion this spring or summer! It comes in 5 colors and has the most fun open-back / tie design. It won’t break the bank, coming in well under $100, and trust me, you will be reaching for it for lunch with the girls, baby showers, date night and everything in between.

Hot Pink: Spring’s “IT” Color

hot pink the crystal press

Catherine has been on the hot pink train for months now and it is time I got on board! 

HOT PINK IS IN.  Like, on the runway in.  Valentino did a monochromatic hot pink collection for Fall 2022 Ready to Wear and everyone on instagram went wild.  Now that we are getting out and about again, it feels much more fun to get dressed up with fun and funky colors and to take some risky risks. Be EXTRA, ya know?

We both decided to bring our pink pants to our latest shoot and we had such fun with these photos! And of course, Cath came out w the hot pink in our photos last August and they are some of my favorites of all time.  It just POPS. And it definitely looks good with a tan, so it is time to buy into the trend and do some shopping.  We are 🙂 I have rounded up some pieces from some of our favorite retailers at a variety of price points so there is something for everyone!

What To Wear For Gender Reveal Photos

Crystal Press + Gender Reveal

LET’S TALK GENDER REVEAL OUTFITS!

I highly recommend hiring a professional photographer for a gender reveal session. These 10 months fly by and anything you have to remember the time will be cherished down the road. The gender reveal videos are so fun and for SURE a great way to share with your loved ones, but I suggest doing photos too!

So, if you are going to hire someone, you should take advantage of the time you have and the professional quality and shoot a couple different looks. I know, not everyone is a fashion blogger like me, but you will appreciate it later. Trust me. Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse to buy new things and get dressed up?!

Chic & Cozy LBD For Winter

It has been a while since we posted a regular OOTD, but this outfit felt like it warranted its own blog post, it is that good.

the crystal press winter fashion

Helloooo, good old outfit post! It has been too long.

We fell out of the routine of posting outfit photos on here, because we thought that might be limiting. Over the past few years we have been doing more “round-up” style posts. AKA Black dresses for winter. The Best Cowboy Boots. Faux Fur Coats and Statement Outerwear. You know the drill.

But when I was going through the looks from my recent trip to Steamboat, I thought that this post would make for a good old piece by piece outfit post. It will of course include a round-up of faux fur coats within the post, because I’m me and I just can’t help myself. But, lets talk about the other parts of the ‘fit first.

Spotlight on: Lovers & Friends Joggers from REVOLVE

These sweatpants are worth the price tag, trust me.

revolve lovers and friends joggers

I consider myself something of a sweatpants connoisseur. 

If you take one look at my instagram, you will see.  I have been living in sweat suits over the past few years.  Stylish sweat suits, Mayfair Group Sweatsuits and fancy sweat suits but sweats nonetheless.

Like any non-millionaire shopper on REVOLVE (probably), I have been wondering if a $158 pair of sweatpants were worth it. I decided to take the plunge and try out these Pocket Joggers by Lovers and Friends and DANG, they are amazing.  I packed them for our post-Christmas trip to Highlands and wore them every single day.  Seriously.  I am also wearing them as I write this blog post.
