My first pregnancy style post (which also happens to be a travel style post because this is what I\u2019d wear anyway\u2026), and the first post that my husband Matt has shot! These photos were taken last week while we wandered the morning streets of Barcelona\u2019s gothic quarter, me at a ever larger 29 weeks pregnant and him with camera in hand. I\u2019ve been intent on not buying maternity wear largely because I\u2019m a minimalist, and I have a hard time stomaching the idea of buying clothes intended to be worn for 3 months or less.<\/p>\n

Luckily my current flowy wardrobe of largely Elizabeth Suzann<\/a> pieces has served me well. I\u2019m wearing her Tilda pant in silk crepe<\/a> and her Georgia dress layered over it also in silk crepe<\/a>, a Blockshop scarf<\/a> (on my head), crazy comfy\u00a0Naot sandals<\/a> I bought back home, and carrying my leather\u00a0Ona laptop + camera bag, the Madison<\/a>. Ona has been generous enough to offer to give one Madison bag<\/a> away to one of you in celebration of their 6th anniversary! Head over to Instagram for the details<\/a>. And I have an interview up over on their blog<\/a> where I talk about everything from my tools of the trade to my advice for aspiring creatives which is essentially this: work hard, build meaningful relationships in your field, and never social climb.<\/p>\n

In packing for this trip (we\u2019re currently in Europe for 5 weeks hosting our\u00a0Slow Living Retreats<\/a>!), I knew I\u2019d be getting bigger and bigger everyday. I\u2019ll be 32 weeks when we finally fly home from Stockholm on the 20th! So I packed as light as ever but with my growing belly in mind. I settled on 4 Georgia dresses from Elizabeth Suzann<\/a> as the base of my layering wardrobe. I brought\u00a02 midi<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a02 regular length<\/a>, one nude and one black of each, all in silk because they roll up smaller than linen. And because I also brought two of her\u00a0Harper tunics<\/a>\u00a0(aka the most comfy shirt ever) in linen. More to come on how I pack for a month to a year in a carry on\u2026but suffice to say those basics carry me through in every situation. And I never leave home without a Blockshop scarf. Literally. I don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying to find the perfect camera bag for me for years. Backpacks are good but now with my pregnant bones weirding out on me all the time, a backpack is too painful. Enter the Madison. One part purse, one part camera bag. It\u2019s lined to protect my gear on the inside, and I love it. The long straps make it really easy to carry over my shoulder and there\u2019s more than enough room for my two travel lenses (the 24-70mm 2.8 and the 50mm 1.2, both Canon) along with all my personal effects like passport, make-up, and sunnies (which are Ray-Ban\u2026I have a thing for them).<\/p>\n

Bags and clothes aside, the most essential thing for traveling pregnant<\/a> has been having my husband by my side. Last year, 3 weeks after we met (and\u00a0fell\u00a0maddeningly\u00a0in love), I proceeded to then leave the country for 3 months. It was torture. We decided that we wanted to blend our professional lives more in light of all the travel my work entails and in light of our little girl and in light of\u2026well, we hate being apart and are content to spend every waking moment in each other\u2019s presence. Work, play, sleep, eat\u2014it\u2019s all better with him there. And I know I\u2019m going to feel that way when our daughter is with us. Whether we become home bodies\u00a0or a nomadic brood, I want that family together as much as possible. And it turns out he\u2019s mad handy with a camera (am I right?!), and now I \u201cget to\u201d (I\u2019m camera shy but get over it cause I love to share things with you guys) be on the other side of the lens a bit more! Stay tuned to see how I dress my every growing belly this last stretch\u2026she\u2019s due in two and half months! Maybe we\u2019ll even have a name by then\u2026.haha.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
