Isabella Oliver is one of the most popular maternity clothing brands around today, suiting professional and full time mums alike. It’s one brand that my clients really do love for its incredible quality staple pieces and feminine charm. Each garment complements the female form by giving it that gorgeous silhouette every pregnant lady wants to achieve.
And, when planning for a baby there’s often a somewhat limited budget for buying clothes, you don’t want to buy too much but at the same time you need versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched ensuring you can dress them up or down for every occasion.
Here’s our Isabella Oliver must-have pregnancy capsule wardrobe:

All us women love a bit of glitz and sparkle so I am happy to say that celebrity jewellery designer Johnny Rocket, who is known for creating Kylie’s signature embellished hot pants, has teamed up with diet Coke to produce the diet Coke Crystal Collection!

Exclusive to Selfridges department store this collection will contain limited edition bottles decorated with gorgeous Swarovski crystals and you’ll be able to create your own bespoke bottle in Johnny’s pop up workshop named ‘The diet Coke Crystal Customisation Boudoir’. Sounds fabulous! The celebrity jewellery designer and his trusted team will be on hand to help you create your own individual bespoke designs. You’ll be able to choose from a selection of Swarovski elements to be embellished onto a limited edition pink diet Coke glass bottle and you can even put your name or initials on the bottle to make it even more personal and special – all for just £5! A rather good bargain I think!
Johnny says –
“It’s great to be working with diet Coke in a collaboration which combines unique style, and sparkle. What better brand to create sparkling creations with than one of the most iconic soft drink brands in the world! I’m thrilled to be getting a chance to get cool and creative with the famous diet Coke glass bottle. The fabulous contours are a perfect fit for my sexy and stylish crystal creations.”
This amazing collaboration is taking place at Selfridges’ London Flagship Store from 14th October for 2 weeks on the Ground Floor so why not pop in! If you haven’t got the time to design your own then you can still snap up a limited edition pink diet Coke bottle pre-customised by Johnny at only £1.50!
