Staying comfortable and warm during the cooler months
The cooler months during autumn and winter call for layers, layers and more layers! It is all about creating comfortable layers that look chic, but are still functional. Comfort is everything with a growing bump, you want to feel comfortable and stylish, whist maintaining a practical wardrobe that will take you from pregnancy through to postpartum.
Here at Queenbee, this is what we specialise in- we have gorgeous pieces that are designed to flatter a growing belly, yet still offer easy breastfeeding access.
For our latest blog post, we have gathered some stunning new arrivals to share with you some practical layering ideas for these days that keep getting colder…
Start with your base
Whether you are a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl, or prefer a dress, it is important to get your base layer right. Depending on the occasion and whether or not it is a day in the office or a lunch with the girls, we have plenty of options for you. Here are some of our favourite new arrivals…

Add some tights for those chilly days
