When I realized I’d be most pregnant during the holiday season I rejoiced in the amazing ensembles I would be able to don, cute little baby bump in tow. Of course at this point I believed I would look and feel just like the pregnant women from TV, you all remember Jennifer Aniston when Rachel was pregnant on Friends, right? I couldn’t have miscalculated the situation more than I did, and the struggle to find anything that can be dressed up, while hugging and hiding in all the right places has been my own personal Da Vinci Code. I’m embracing the last few weeks of this incredible journey, but I’m not going lie, I can’t wait to reconnect with all of the clothing currently on sabbatical in my closet.

It’s safe to say that certain items of clothing have been earning their keep more than others in the closet as of late. I’ve always stood by the concept of investing in outerwear, and more than ever I’m appreciating the vast options my collection has to offer. I’ve worn this ASOS coat to and fro in the previous two winters, and it’s as relevant this winter as it has been in the past. The best part is that it still fits, even at 34 weeks pregnant. If that’s not winning, I truly don’t know what is.
About three or four years ago I came across, what I consider, the most ingenious gift idea ever. It was a nail polish advent calendar by Ciaté London, and was my first foray into Advent Calendar gifting. I gifted one to each of my girlfriends near and far, and to say they were a hit would be a complete and utter understatement. I packaged them up and sent them out in November to ensure each lady had her package in time for the first day of the month. Which meant, I was nearly done all of my gifting by December 1st. What more could one ask for?! I’m showing you seven options here, that range from 12 days of giving to a full 24 days. Wait not my friends, these items will be long gone by the time December rolls around, and we wouldn’t you left in a lurch, would we.
