Hermes makes maternity?

Here are a few pap shots of Posh, all glowing and pregnant, in Malibu with her boys.  She is looking relaxed and happy waiting for her baby girl's arrival, filling out her flowing red Hermes dress beautifully. 

No, the dress is not strictly for maternity, she also wore it back in 2009.  But isn't her belly bump in that dress just so cute?

Stylin' - mixin' a little business with pleasure

A work trip is coming up, and it's time to begin fantasy packing.  I prefer keeping my baggage light, literally and figuratively.  That entails looking for pieces that can mix and match, are comfortable and functional but without sacrificing style.

I looked and here are what I found: A day handbag perfect for travel, the Hermes Victoria which is roomy, light, and is soft enough to squish under the plane seat or in the overhead cabin, Alexander McQueen's clutch for those evenings out, and separate pieces that work from day to night - a canvas of neutral beige, browns, graphic white and black, accented with accessories and pieces with bright pops of color to keep things interesting.
