What are some favorite maternity pieces in your wardrobe that are both practical and stylish?
Luckily I’m able to still fit into most of my clothes — with the exclusion of denim. I’m resurrecting pieces that I already owned (mainly old jumpsuits and flowy dresses). But, I did recently get a bundle from local brand Storq — the basics they have are amazing for growing belies. I love the dresses! They are really flattering.
Where is your favorite place to shop for maternity clothes?
I love Storq for its basic maternity staples and Hatch for its gorgeous jumpsuits.

Have you splurged on any maternity pieces?
Ha, my “diaper” bag. I recently bought a Mansur Gavriel tote. I think I may splurge on a Hatch jumpsuit soon — I can’t resist. And, it’s great for post-pregnancy, too.
What is something you do for yourself everyday?
Take walks around the city. I go on at least two a day! I’m so inspired by the colors and architecture of the city.
What beauty product can you not live without, and why is it your favorite?
This is so hard! I’ve been introduced to so many great products since I’ve been going to Barrow Salon. It’s a close tie between Oribe’s texturizing spay and R&Co’s Rockaway beach spray (PS I’m a huge fan of these two as well!)
Do you have a beauty regimen you swear by?
I have acne prone skin – so yes. My aesthetician makes all her own products that are acne and pregnancy safe. They’ve saved my complexion.

What a babe of a mama! Love maternity style and love Angela’s look!
Angela is gorgeous!
My skin is also acne-prone, and these are some brands that saved my life throughout my 2 pregnancies: Vanicream, Mineral Fusion, Origins, anything by EO… Just my two cents. :^)
Also… I’m in awe that she was able to get hold of a Mansur Gavriel tote! Wow!
