I had somewhat of a pink discovery a few years ago, you can read about it here on lovetomtom.com. From never wearing pink, it is now one of my power colours and a permanent fixture in my wardrobe. It seems there is no escaping pink when it comes to maternity clothes, much like stripes, but I’m glad to see brands are expanding the colour palette to incl[...]
Hello. I hope you are all keeping well. I want to update you on what's been happening for Mother Dragon the past few months as there are some really exciting things cooking. Winner! The first bit of new I want to share is that Mother Dragon won an award! I was thrilled to get the news that Mother Dragon won Best Maternity Clothing Provider in the EU[...]
I booked myself in for a haircut recently and despite having my little lady nearly six years ago, I was taken back to a time where my hairdresser changed my life. Actually, she has done it many times. I moved to Dublin sixteen years ago. You meet a lot of people when you move to a new city. Most will pass you by, but if you are lucky enough, you will fi[...]
I am so thrilled to start Mother Dragon's interview series with an amazing women, Anne Graham, Physiotherapist and Women's Health Specialist. We chatted all things work, pregnancy, motherhood and of course, maternity fashion. I had the pleasure of interviewing Anne in the studio and you can watch it below or If you'd prefer to listen to the interview,[...]
I was introduced to Topshop when I moved to London in my 20's and what an introduction it was; Topshop Oxford Street. It didn't stop there. Topshop became a regular fixture in my fashion evolution and when I moved to Ireland it was a regular meeting spot for my sister and I, catching up on the day, planning dinner and stopping into Topshop on the way home.[...]
I was so thrilled to see the maternity bundles were a hit and after selling out, it's time to give you more. While I was considering each bundle, I got to thinking about what this collection was really about, for Mother Dragon and for you the consumer. I kept coming back to those phrases we hear all too often like sustainable fashion, environmentally fri[...]
Preface I have not read this piece since I first published it on ww.w.lovetomtom.com in 2018. It is lengthy and messy. I immediately want to make changes but I’ve decided to leave it as is. To edit it would feel like I’m editing my experience and no one should do that. I want to share this with you so you can get to know me better, and I want to be h[...]
Hello. How is everyone this week? I want to talk about sizing. If I asked you what your measurements are could you tell me? Could you tell me in relation to how brands define their sizes? This is something I really struggle with and even more so now that I am two and half years post pregnancy. Before having my babies, I had a firm grasp on my style, my body[...]
Here it is. Mother Dragon’s first collection of preloved maternity clothing. I’ll be honest, it took me some time to decide what pieces would make the first collection (decisiveness, at times is not my strong point) and I hope you like it. My focus for each collection is to provide a selection of maternity pieces, in a range of preloved conditi[...]
