Seventies Icon recreates the mood of the era with styles that are anything but outdated.  Jeans are updated in super stretchy fabrications with the new flare leg shape.  Paisleys and vintage floral prints in the warm hues of camel and toffee mixed with pumpkin, russet, and olive are important in peasant tops reminiscent of Charlie's Angels and Love Story.  Maxi length in skirts and dresses is a major element of this haute hippie fashion story.

Fast-forward, the Modern Minimalist is about new tailoring and new proportions in soft, sophisticated, Helmut Lang-inspired styling.  Here, black is back, mixed with pearl grey and pewter, and popped with cool teals and sage greens.  Layers are important over form-fitting, body-conscious midi-length dresses and pencil skirts.  

"The season's wide range of trends gives our customer the perfect way to express her personal sense of style," said Lisa Hendrickson, Chief Merchandising Officer of A Pea in the Pod.  "Yes, she is a mom-to-be, but she still has a fashion identity all her own."

A Pea in the Pod® offers exceptional contemporary fashion for the mom-to-be who wants the very best when it comes to style. Beautiful attention to detail, perfect fit and luxurious fabrications are hallmarks of the brand's private label collections and exclusive designer labels. A favorite among Hollywood's expectant celebrities, A Pea in the Pod has dressed Heidi Klum, Naomi Watts, Jessica Alba, Salma Hayek, Christina Applegate, Nicole Richie, Amy Adams, Catherine Bell, and more. www.apeainthepod.com or 1-877-apeapod.
