Julia Restoin Roitfeld Quotes

And being able to wear beautiful lingerie will definitely help.

My site is about women who want to look good and stay active: women who don't want to suddenly become 'just mums.' But it's not true that it is only about the glamorous side. Last time I was on a plane with Romy, she was sick all over me, and I wrote a tip about travelling with a change of outfit.

The funny thing is that, for some reason, people think when you're pregnant, you have to start wearing maternity wear and wear flats and look Mom-ish.

For fashion and beauty, I don't think you have to overthink it.
