mara mea Team Picks: Maren's Style the Bump favorite looks for summer

We're super excited because Maren is now in week 38 of her pregnancy, and the birth is just around the corner. It could happen at any moment, so we've taken the opportunity to round up Maren's favorite looks from the current summer collection. We're also sharing Maren's mom-to-be wardrobe tips and tricks with you, and we'd love for you to share your personal favorite looks in the comments.

How would you describe your fashion style?

A mix of boho and modern. I love embroidery—the more the merrier—and I like to combine it with classic basics. You can tell that mara mea is our "baby," and that Dorina and I incorporate our own style and inspiration into our designs. One of my absolute favorite pieces from the current ITALIAN BOHEMIA collection, for example, is our staycation wrap blouse . I love the bright embroidery on the sleeve, the handmade red tassels, and the fact that I can easily pair the blouse with a white top and jeans.

Has your style changed during pregnancy?

No. Not at all. My style has stayed the same. But I've added a few new favorites, like the island girl dress in red and the super comfortable poolside date shorts from our current collection. I've always worn our collections. Now I can enjoy them myself while pregnant and test them out while breastfeeding. It 's super exciting to see how the look of a piece of clothing changes as the baby bump grows.

Is there a trimester in which it was super easy or super difficult to style the growing baby bump?

There wasn't really a difference for me. Every month has something very special. In the first trimester, I struggled with a lot of nausea and circulatory problems, so I didn't really worry about my outfit and felt most comfortable in comfortable pants like the misty borders , loose sweaters, or dresses with maternity tights.

In the very hot last few weeks, I've been wearing shorts for poolside dates and a sizzling hot miniskirt :) or throwing on airy dresses like memories made . A quick tip for easily spicing up your outfit, even when you're short on time: add unusual jewelry and a colorful lip gloss.

Speaking of accessories and cosmetics – do you have any favorite brands or special products?

Since I have extremely sensitive skin and am allergic to some ingredients, I have to be especially careful with the ingredients. I love UND GRETEL's lip gloss in Raspberry Shimmer or simply in nude. I prefer to buy my jewelry on vacation. I love my tassel earrings from Nandi Berlin, and I love pairing our handwoven capri vibes dress with a delicate bracelet, like this one from Exclaim in the picture below.

Last but not least – which diaper bag model did you choose?

Those who know me have seen me running around with our diaper bags since day one, the company was founded. I use them as my daily companion at the office for my laptop and other belongings, for shopping, or as carry-on luggage when traveling. Because I've used the backpack and shopper functions most often so far, and will soon be using the stroller clips for personal use, I opted for our Classic diaper bag, the little wanderer . Its color matches the light blue outer material of the new Bugaboo Track model perfectly, which I'll soon be able to push around with my own baby, not just during photoshoots with someone else's baby - picture to follow :).

Off for now.
