Key to My Style

Key to my maternity style

Hello lovely,

So nice of you to be stopping by. I am so grateful for you and the time you are devoting to read this and/or watch the beautiful pictures.

This time I am sharing with you the incredible results of a fashion-pregnancy photo shoot I had with the amazing Dorota from Dorann Photography.

Dorota chose Johnston Gardens as the place for the shoot and I was so happy with this choice.

The whole experience was incredible, she made me feel very relaxed. I get pretty awkward when being photographed by others and that feeling disappeared after first few minutes.

I am so happy and emotional looking at those pictures. They will forever remain an incredible memory. The fact that we are reaching our 10th wedding anniversary with my husband this year and this is exactly the place where our wedding pictures were taken adds to the magic of the whole experience.

I wanted to wear something that is me, something colourful, because you know what a colour freak I am, and because this is our rainbow baby.

I was hoping that my gratefulness for being in the blessed state will be seen in the pictures and I see it, thanks to Dorota… but I also wanted to show a piece of me, of who I am as a mother but also as a woman. I wanted to show my beautiful growing bump but also parts of me that I love and appreciate. I always talk to you about how you should love yourself and I need to do that for myself too. Every day in an opportunity to remind ourselves of that and today is the day ;))

We have been super blessed in Aberdeen over the past month of so with the gorgeous sunny weather and I have been loving wearing all sorts of dresses. I have also been changing multiple times a day. My husband always laughs that I change 3-4 times every day and I say that I see no issue if I am home and able to do so. I have always loved playing dress up and I now live a life where I can do that for a living… . I also feel that being pregnant adds to that. I mean, most of you pregnant ladies out there will probably be able to relate to the discomfort of itchy skin, sweating, swelling and other totally normal but not always easy to deal with aspects of pregnancy. Back when I was pregnant with Beno, working at the check-in after I grounded myself from flying, I was extremely uncomfortable for weeks, having to wear a uniform, tights right over my bump and sit for hours… .

Now I couldn’t be more excited to channel my inner self and enjoy the outfits I love.

On those pictures I wanted to show versatility of one dress.  I put together few options: one quite formal option (with the red dress over the yellow one, or the black one, through a date with husband kind of an option (short dress on it’s own) to a picnic version. While looking back at last few weeks and now those pictures I realised that this post also represents who I am and can be in one single day 😉

I hope it will inspire you to wear whatever it is you feel like wearing when off work (if you wear a uniform at work like I used to) or at work if you lucky enough to be your own boss. Remember to fall in love with parts of you that need it and have some fun. When I say fall in love with, I don’t mean those obviously beautiful parts. I can now officially say I love my feet. Couple of years ago I’d ask Dorota not to photograph my feet up close, now I am simply grateful to have feet that take me places and allow me to wear incredibly beautiful shoes.

Thank you so much Dorota for the day of the shoot and for capturing what I didn’t imagine was possible.

If any of you look for a photographer, baby picture, family, wedding, party, fashion, branding… Dorota has an experience in all that and more. Check out her page bellow:

Key to Her Style

Key to a style of a super-mother

Hello beautiful,

How are you? What have you been up to since your last visit here? If it is your first visit, tell me about yourself.

Today I have some super exciting news to share with you as well as a little surprise for you (so keep on reading ;)).

This week I went to pay a visit to Serena at Stellar after getting a message from her about going online in matter of days. I came to see the newest collection and chat about all the excitement.

You can see some of the amazing style available at Stellar in the following pictures.

On my way to Stellar I was wondering what I am interested in most, for myself as well as for you all. Quickly it became pretty clear that I need to see what they have to offer for us mothers. My style has evolved a lot since becoming a mother and my needs in terms of bag I choose changed dramatically. I know that I am not unique when I say that practicality of the bag is at most priority.

When thinking about it and chatting to Serena during my visit I discovered that there is plenty to choose from. I see how huge my bag had to be when Beno was 0-2 years old. Right now (he is almost 4 years old) I can get away with a little cross-body bag and see how that changes since he can carry a little backpack on his own ;). Having said that, I will soon be back to baby things everywhere plus Beno so I am already exploring new options. Hopefully some of you mamas of many children can help me choose (pretty please:)).

During my visit I was overwhelmed with the choices and very pleased to discover how comfortable the bags are. I was testing how much I can do single-handedly, without taking the bag off the shoulder, many bags passed the test.

All the pictures include bags that in my believe have a potential to being a ‘supermother’s bag of style’.

I also have been realizing how much power a great accessory holds…. and what is the one accessory we all need with us basically at all times? Exactly! Even husband has a question the minute you leave the house for a family trip.. ‘Did you take…. . Do you have… .’right?

So how about we treat ourselves to a bag that speaks our style and always makes us feel fabulous. Remember that you can rock a great bag even when running errands in you ‘tee and jeans’ combo or ‘trainers, leggings and a tunic’ set.

Enjoy browsing through the pictures bellow and here’s the news: on Friday the 18th of May Stellar launches their own website (www.stellar-shop.com) that will ship to all over Europe. If you want to read more about the business itself (who, how and when it was set up) here is my post from January when I visited them for the first time.  http://www.keytome.co.uk/2018/01/13/key-to-finding-a-bag-of-style/

…and as my gift to you I managed to get an exclusive 10% off for you. When you go online simply enter the discount code ‘KeyToMe’. You can also use it in store (mention the code to ladies). Discount is not to be used in conjunction with other offers.

I am so excited for Stellar and for us ladies to have the Italian style at the doorstep. This is the only place in Scotland to have these particular Italian brands available for us.

Also follow Stellar on Instagram (Stellar Aberdeen) and on Facebook and make sure to tag them and me in you purchases, cannot wait to get inspired by your style.

Love you,

Gosia
