Nasiba Adilova, who’s Director of Business Development at lifestyle site Buro 24/7, proves that just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean your street-style star has to dim one bit. The Dallas-based Russian kept on with her supremely chic and colorfully bold statement looks in the months before the birth of her son — to the fashion photographers’ delight. Here, we chat with Adilova on that style and what it’s like being a first-time mother.
My Mother’s Day traditions now…
It’s my first Mother’s Day as a mother and I look forward to setting up new traditions for the years to come.
And when I was growing up…
I always bought fresh flowers for my mom and grandma. For my mom, ever since I was a little girl, I would prepare lunch on my own for her.
Best Mother’s Day gift I’ve given…
I hope it’s my unconditional love.
Best style advice from mom…
I wanted to dress the way I did before I was pregnant, even when I was pregnant. So I bought things I liked in larger sizes. The best piece of clothing available for pregnancy (that I still want to wear now) is pregnancy jeans. They fit exactly the same as regular jeans but are so comfortable.
And favorite thing to borrow from her closet…
I love to borrow bags from my mother-in-law!
As a mom, my de-stressing secret…
Look in my baby’s eyes, hold him in my arms and remember how blessed I am every single day.
