I bet that you would never guess that I’m even still in the city in these photos, but I am! This whimsical scene was captured by my friend Daniela of Photos by Daniela and I highly recommend her if you are looking to capture some magical moments! Shot in glorious Inwood Hill Park, I’m so excited to showcase my new favorite piece of jewelry, Ilado Paris pregnancy necklaces for new and expecting mamas.
Whenever I was pregnant with B, my mom gave me an angel bracelet that’s meant to protect the growing baby inside you, which I actually wore on my wrist during our pregnancy announcement shoot, and I love having something special for this pregnancy, too.
Since baby can begin to hear as early as 18 weeks in the womb, these U-shaped Ilado Paris pregnancy necklaces release a soft chime for the baby to hear, soothing him or her as they grow. The baby then comes to learn when mom is moving around and it becomes a calming memory as they develop each day.
Once the baby is born, this soft chime is a bonding memory that allows them to calm as you hold them, rock them, feed, them, and connect with them on a daily basis. Ilado Paris pregnancy necklaces have been cherished where they originally launched in Europe, and now have a kickstarter going to bring these precious pieces and a new collection to a broader audience. You can access their kickstarter here.
Especially with Mother’s Day right around the corner, I think this is a very special gift to give or receive, as its meaning goes well beyond the typical clothing or jewelry. I try to wear it every chance that I get, even if I’m just sitting at home writing in yoga pants, as I want this little one to remember as a newborn.

I wonder sometimes if this little one can feel how tough this pregnancy is for me some days. I was a lot younger whenever I was pregnant with Branden and the pregnancy as a whole has been so different and challenging. I have my good days and bad days, but I had been searching for something to connect us, a memory to share that was more than just me being sick.
At the end of each day, as we are all beginning to relax and I sit in bed rubbing my bump, I wonder about so many things. What kind of personality will this little one have? Will he/she be strong willed or easy going? There are so many things that are uncertain, but one thing that I am sure: we’ll have a bond that stretches to the moon and back, and that’s all I need to know right now.
Fashionably Yours,
Allison
