Confessions of a Pregnant Fashionista

As you all know, I recently got engaged, and was very busy with figuring out when how and what dress I was gonna wear.  And very busy with my carreer, as I'm looking for a challenging job in the PR, fashion, communications or all of the above.

 

At MBFWA, wearing Sister Jane

Well... On the 5th of January I was truly surprised with a positive pregnancy test. I was in uther shock: I wasn't planning on having babies for at least two years! But after the shock came happiness and then a huge freak out if everything was ok with the little one...

 

So I've decided to include you in this crazy journey, telling you some of the things I go through, but still I will be blogging about fashion! Every now and then I will post a 'confessions of a pregnant fashionista' post, starting today!

Preggo at Fashion Week

Fashion week. Normally one of the hectic weeks in my life, especially because I'm reporting the shows for I AM Mode. And this time I found it so different. First of, I was scared that I would throw up on someone and second of all: what to wear?! I was sporting a tiny baby bump(in my opinion) and normally fashion week is the time to look skinny. Talking about skinny, Why the f*ck don't they serve food?! Before this wasn't a problem at all, because cigarettes and alcohol where doing it for me. Sigh. Well next year I can stick to my usual Fashion Week diet...;) Minus the cigarettes.

But one thing never changes at Fashion Week: as soon as the first model hits the runway, I forget that I'm tired and feeling sick, and I can simply enjoy fashion, as it should be. So baby's first fashion Week went well!

Shoot Be First

A while ago, I did a shoot for Be First A store located near Amsterdam. They sell beautiful gowns and dresses, and a wide variety of them. Every shoot is a challenge, but I've never done a shoot in these kind of fabrics and dresses; and it was fun! I'm not a princess dresses kind of girl( well, except for my wedding), but it was nice to play dress up and feel like a princess for a day...

 

 

What do you think of the results?

Selfies

The other day I was deleting some pictures from my phone and the more I browsed, the more selfies I found! And not just random selfies. A lot of selfies send to my fashion partner Çetin, to ask: what do you think of this outfit or look? I also do this in the dressing rooms in stores. I chose my favorite summer selfies, because I really do miss the summer already...And I'm not quite ready for winter. Yet.

Are you checking your outfit with your friends before you leave the house?

Urban streetstyle shoot

Summer, white & gold

During the summer, my family loves to organise BBQ's and garden parties. I normally don't wear white too often, let alone wearing it from head to toe! Well, almost. For this outfit, I combined a white, transparant blouse with white hotpants. A big trend are the big, golden chained necklaces. I love this chunky, yet stylish addition to this outfit! And no, I have no asspirations of becoming a rapper ;)  What do you think?
