If you don’t know my friend Natalie Weakly, you should. She’s an image and brand consultant and she loves making people look good. Natalie is often a featured guest on Great Day Houston, giving Houstonians tips on all kinds of fashion solutions. (You may remember her recent segment on scarf styling I featured on the blog.) Natalie is also pregnant (and due just 10 days before me – how fun is that?!) so it makes sense that they asked her to do a segment on maternity fashion. And when she needed “models” I was thrilled to do it. It wasn’t my first debut on a television news segment, but it was just as fun as the first time!
First, Natalie and I went to Pickles and Ice Cream. Isn’t that an adorable name for a maternity store? I love the store and the women who work there are both darling and really helpful. They’ve got a great selection of jeans and maternity wear options that are classic in style. I’ve found several fun things there during this pregnancy. Natalie and I tried on several outfits and she selected a blue and yellow print dress with an empire waist by Olian for me. I don’t normally wear prints – especially when pregnant – but since she’s the stylist, I went with it, and I have to say, as far as prints go, it was pretty cute. The colors and pattern were lovely. For the show, I paired it with our London Blue Topaz large bar necklace, which was the perfect shade of slate blue and our Principessa white coin pearl bracelet, which always adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.
Here are a few behind the scenes photos from my morning on TV. And be sure to scroll down for some stills from the segment and a link to the full video!

I began creating as a child with simple jewelry pieces and various art projects. Twenty years ago, I started creating jewelry for myself. It wasn’t long before friends and family began asking me to make pieces for them. Soon after, Andrea Montgomery Designs was officially born. My desire is to make timeless jewelry that makes you feel more beautiful each time you wear it -- which we hope is always! My philosophy is to WEAR THE GOOD STUFF everyday. There’s no such thing as “saving it for a special occasion” -- every day is a gift!
