Dior Exhibition and Cafe at Harrods A must see slice of fashion heaven

9 London by Emily Evans

9 London has been described as ‘the most fashionable maternity shop in London’ (Maggie Davies, Evening Standard) and this still rings true loud and clear. It has been featured in everything from Vogue to The New York Post to Hello, with a host of celebrity clients from Kate Moss, Gwen Stefani, Danni Minogue, Laura Bailey, Elle Macpherson….what a role call!

Emily has very kindly selected key pieces from the current AW collection for us.

First up is a wardrobe staple The Black Skinny 9London Jeans £150 We cant argue with designer Melissa Odabash who says they are ‘the best maternity jeans’ And we can see why as they offer a fantastic fit, double up as black trousers and dont fall down!!

Vintage Maternity: My personal favourite is Emily’s meticulously selected collection of Vintage Maternity, handpicked and in immaculate condition. Every piece is so unique. Major crush! Prices start from £50 - £350 

The Kimono Dress: these are a 9London signature. The Kimono sleeve dress are “a hit for weddings and parties” says Emily. They have been worn by actresses, models, singers, celebrities. We particularly like how Gwen Stefani rocks hers. Price £399

And last, but by no means least, Emily’s now infamous Mother beauty products. We have been raving about these for months now,no maternity wardrobe would be complete with them. Our love affair started with the brilliantly names ‘Super Stretch Mark Cream’ £38 300ml and continues with ‘Brilliant Bust Cream’ £34 250ml

Available from the shop and Harrods. Read more about Super Stretch: http://theminipost.tumblr.com/post/27148441320/super-streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch-mark-magic-by-emily
