Lunch Hour Shopping: Donna Morgan Maternity at Gilt


Donna Morgan maternity at Gilt

If you're expecting, then you probably know how difficult it can be to find a flattering maternity dress that doesn't scream "I'm pregnant" or cost an exorbitant amount of money - money that you'd probably rather reserve for your impending bundle of joy. With this in mind, let me suggest you head over to Gilt.com now to check out the new Donna Morgan dress sale, which features fun, flattering summer options, mostly around $50. These are dresses you can wear to work or your baby shower, even a casual summer wedding, while staying comfortable and stylish. And if you miss this sale, keep checking back - Gilt.com is a surprising source of maternity wear that's actually really affordably priced - not always, but more often than not - so you're bound to find a gem or two if you check back.

{My top picks (from left): Tatiana Printed Dress, $54 (down from $128); Jasmine Crochet Tank Dress, $97 (down from $158); Striped Cowl Neck Dress, $50 (down from $118)}

BB Exclusive: Get Your First Julep Maven Box FREE, Including My New Namesake Nail Polish!

Use code DIANNA to get your first Julep Maven subscription box free.

This past weekend, I shared a sneak peek at one of the new Julep nail polish colors called "Dianna," available in their June Maven Box - and now I'm happy to share an exclusive coupon code that let's you get your first box FREE!

Just enter promo code DIANNA at checkout to get your first box free (doesn't include shipping).*

Fun fact: This new mint green crème was named after me by the sweet team at Julep, so I'm really hoping you like the shade, give it a try and tell me what you think.

If you select the Boho Glam Maven box, you'll receive one bottle of "Dianna," as well as one bottle of "Lexie" - a dandelion yellow crème - plus the new Julep DD Creme. I'm a huge fan of Julep and look forward to getting my box each month. The colors are always great and they always include thoughtful little extras. Trust me, you'll love it.

For current Mavens, the window to buy the Boho Glam box closes May 24th, so don't wait to take advantage of this deal! Also please note that if you sign up for the subscription, you will be billed monthly (unless you choose to skip or cancel) so please just be aware of that.

If you miss out on the June Maven box, don't worry, "Dianna" will be available for purchase individually later next month - I'll keep you posted.

*(Just to note this code will be active until June 30th)
