Rosie Pope brings sophisticated styles to expecting mothers who don’t want to sacrifice fashion when they start to show. With locations on the Upper East Side, in Tribeca, and in Santa Monica, CA, the store houses flattering pieces that any woman—not just expectant ones—would want to wear (for proof, see Rosie Pope in her own designs in our April cover feature). Also, be sure to check out their collection of diaper bags and nursing bras, as well as the new Rosie Pope Baby line of baby clothes. 1265 Madison Avenue & 55 Warren Street; rosiepope.com
