Wigs can be very useful accessories.  They give you a chance to experience different hairstyles without cutting or dying your natural hair.  They also put an end to bad hair days and give you a chance to look completely different whenever the mood strikes.

Pantyhose (along with tights and nylons) keep our legs warm and provide coverage for situations when bare legs are not appropriate.  However, pantyhose is also known to rip easily, roll down over the tummy or ride up in uncomfortable places.  Stockings cover from the thigh down making them much more comfortable.

Fashion while pregnant can be fun.  You do not worry about hiding your tummy.  This is the time you get to show it off!  There are considerations for each trimester to ensure you are fashionably fun yet comfortable.

Yves St. Laurent’s collection could be summed up in one word: “pretty”. Laurent played with clean lines with a just the right amount of fuss to take each piece from strictly practical to a little bit playful.  Tailored dress pants were complimented with a belted fur jacket. A black dress sported an unexpected ruffle.  One of my personal favourites, an A-line skirt with a high slit all trimmed in black with a skewed pocket topping the slit.  What a fresh take on a traditional cut!
