Seraphine’s Collapse and Comeback: What It Means for the Secondhand Market

August 13, 2025

Seraphine made headlines recently with the announcement of its immediate cease of trading. For years, the brand positioned itself as the go-to for stylish, premium maternity wear, think tailored coats, wrap dresses, and polished breastfeeding tops. With a royal seal of approval, Serpahine was a repeat in Kate Middleton's maternity wardrobe and the brand was[...]

Staples should be comfortable, versatile, and true to your style. Here’s how to rethink the idea of “must-haves” and build a wardrobe that actually fits your life. To read this piece, ple[...]

The Pink Edition

April 18, 2024

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[...]

TopShop

October 16, 2023

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.[...]

What are your measurements?

July 26, 2023

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[...]

Ready, steady, shop.

July 9, 2023

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[...]

Denim and I haven’t always been on the same page. For a long time it was black jeans or nothing. If it didn’t feel right, I assumed it was my body that was the problem.

What I’ve learned (and what I wish I knew sooner) is that denim is never just one thing. It behaves differently depending on how it’s made and that changes everything.

Some denim has stretch, which gives you that bit of give when your body is changing or growing.
Some is more rigid, which holds its shape but doesn’t always move with you.

Some is lightweight and soft, draping easily over the body.
Others are heavier and more structured, sitting away from you and creating shape.

And then there’s fit. Straight, relaxed, skinny, barrel. Not better or worse, just different ways of sitting on a changing body.

That’s why I love pieces like this.
Easy and no overthinking. The kind of thing you can put on and feel like yourself in, whatever stage you’re at.

There’s a reason denim never really leaves us.
You just have to find the version that works for you. 

What's your relationship like with denim right now?

I was twinning with my mannequin today in my denim dungarees and realised I have a denim pinafore as well. I lived in both pieces post partum and wouldn't be without them in my wardrobe.
Tell me which do you prefer, denim dungarees or a denim pinafore?

Is the colour black a staple layer or a statement piece? 

This H&M bodycon, ribbed maxi dress can be either. A versatile piece to extend your wardrobe or that sleek, feel good, comfy dress that makes getting dressed easy. You choose.
