ninetimesthreeoutfitpants.jpgninetimesthreepant.jpgninetimesthreeoutfitskirt.jpgMany of you know Mira von der Osten.  She lives in Fayetteville and makes raising five young children seem like such a breeze.  But, you may not know that Mira is a very talented New York trained fashion designer who has created a three piece collection of stylish and practical maternity clothes called Neunmaldrei (that means “Nine-times-three” in German).

The collection includes three basic pieces:  a top, a skirt, and pants, all wrapped in a beautiful box.  I have seen the collection and was very impressed with the fabric and the styling.  You can tell that Mira understands what pregnancy does to your body and designed the set for real pregnant women, not models with a pillow strapped to their belly!  

For more pictures and details go to Mira’s website, www.ninetimesthree.com

Now for the exciting part — Mira has agreed to let me give away one set of her collection to a lucky Life+Kids reader.  The sets sell for $370, so this could make someone a very nice Christmas gift.

How do you enter?  Leave a comment on this post saying why you like the Nine-times-three collection or email me at terri@lifepluskids with “Nine-times-three” in the subject line. 

You can increase your chances of winning by telling your friends about Life+Kids and copying me on the email (terri@lifepluskids.com).  Your name will be entered once for each friend.  So, if you email 10 friends about Life+Kids,  your name will be entered in the drawing 11 times (once for you and once for each friend). 

Entries must be received by noon on Wednesday, December 12.  The giveaway will be held later that day. 

Thanks for reading Life+Kids — I hope you enjoy the Giveaway!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.  CONGRATULATIONS TO ANNE, OUR WINNER!

    I like it because it says just enough about you without making it in your face.

  6. ashley on December 7th, 2007 1:22 pm

    I love this collection because it is stylish but also practical.

  7. Naomi on December 7th, 2007 1:38 pm

    I love the fact that this line is interchangeable with other wardrobed items I already have!

  8. Becca on December 7th, 2007 1:55 pm

    These are such simple and classic styles!

  9. ClaireElaine on December 7th, 2007 2:00 pm

    This is beautiful!! Basic black can either start or supplement a wardrobe. The look is classic — making these clothes wearable for multiple pregnancies!

    Beautiful!

  10. Jen M on December 7th, 2007 2:12 pm

    I love LOVE the neckline of the top, the fact that the skirt is A-line and lovely, and that everything is in black. Perfect.

  11. Charlsie on December 7th, 2007 2:18 pm

    I love that these pieces are all very simple and basic yet look beautiful. I also love that they easily mix and match with other clothing you might already have!

  12. Nichole on December 7th, 2007 2:18 pm

    Beautiful!

  13. Angela on December 7th, 2007 2:19 pm

  14. Tara on December 7th, 2007 2:49 pm

    Perfect for a busy mom of 2 kids!! I love how simple and versatile this line is!!

  15. Jana (sidetrack'd) on December 7th, 2007 3:01 pm

    This collection looks classic, classy, and comfortable; a combination that is difficult to find in maternity. Any pregnant lady would be fortunate to have pieces like these.

    I came over from Baby Cheapskate. Thanks for the opportunity to get in on the giveaway!

  16. Jackie Danicki on December 7th, 2007 3:14 pm

    The simplicity, beautiful lines, and versatility of Neunmaldrei make it the perfect collection for a woman who has more on her mind than how to put together an elegant maternity ensemble. Making it easy to look good at a time when so much demands your attention is at least as valuable as the fabric and design that have gone into the clothes.

  17. Stephanie on December 7th, 2007 3:38 pm

    I’d love to win this for my sister-in-law!

  18. Lisa on December 7th, 2007 3:49 pm

    When you are pregnant you want to be as comfortable as possible. It is so easy to look “sloppy” in maternity clothes. These clothes provide the style and most importantly comfort that can be work in so many ways for so many situations. I love it 9 times over! The bummer is so many pregnant moms can’t afford something like this so we have to cross our fingers and wish upon a star we win these incredible drawings!

  19. Staci on December 7th, 2007 3:52 pm

    Wow! What a beautiful line! I love that the pants make you look slim rather than big and bulky. I hate looking fat when I’m pg! I also love the shoulder line of the top! Gorgeous!

    […] Neena on Dec 7, 2007 in Good Tips Terri at Life Plus Kids just sent me a link to a giveaway that she is running. Pop over to her blog and leave a comment to […]

  21. Liz on December 7th, 2007 4:33 pm

    Wow! This is really beautiful and can be worn many places!

  22. Emily Judd on December 7th, 2007 4:34 pm

    Wow, these are so awesome! I would love to have them!

  23. Alicia on December 7th, 2007 4:40 pm

    I like the stylish look to the set. It’s so difficult to feel pretty and sophisticated when you have a bowling ball under your shirt. I also like the choice of black -very slimming and classy.

  24. Kristin on December 7th, 2007 4:42 pm

    These look like functional, yet upscale pieces of clothing! And they can be mixed and matched with so much!

  25. Naomi on December 7th, 2007 5:01 pm

    I love that everything is functional but also very elegant and beautiful. No bizarre frou frou details or cutesy colors. Please ask her to design nursing wear next…

  26. Jen on December 7th, 2007 5:15 pm

    The last time I was pregnant, comfortable was good enough. But sexy and comfortable? I need these clothes!

  27. Bree on December 7th, 2007 5:51 pm

    I love this collection because it can go from casual to dressy with simple accessories!

  28. Amanda on December 7th, 2007 8:09 pm

    Love the simple yet classic look!

  29. Megan on December 7th, 2007 8:17 pm

    I love the nine times three collection! All the basic pieces that you could build an entire maternity wardrobe on–what a great idea!!!!

  30. Leta on December 7th, 2007 8:33 pm

    This is a great collection. I love that it doesn’t overtly look like maternity clothes. I would wear items like these if I wasn’t pregnant.

  31. Rachel on December 7th, 2007 9:00 pm

    Beautiful, classic and comfortable looking designs! These could be worn for more than one pregnancy as they’ll not be going out of style any time soon. Also, they don’t show your belly!

  32. Maryn on December 7th, 2007 9:03 pm

    Very cute clothes!

  33. Heather on December 7th, 2007 9:08 pm

    These pieces are gorgeous and very classy. This is a MUST HAVE for any maternity wardrobe. The website is very well done also. I love the pictures and the blue background is very pleasing to the eye. I would love to win this! I can’t get over how lovely these are!

  34. janet on December 7th, 2007 9:13 pm

    I just love all your cloths they are just perfect,you can mix and match as you want,simple but excellent.

  35. heather h on December 8th, 2007 3:58 am

    This is a classic collection. It is hard to feel anything other than huge when pregnant, and clothing often doesn’t feel great when billowy and tentish. This is a gorgeous set, and any mama-to-be would feel elegant and beautiful in it. Maternity clothing is getting better, but it’s hard to find anything this lovely. It would be great for the awkward post-partum time as well. Oh, I’d love to win!

  36. Sarah on December 8th, 2007 7:16 am

    This collection is phenomenal! An expectant mother would looks as gorgeous and chic as she deserves to!!

  37. Caryn Bailey on December 8th, 2007 7:55 am

    I love that this is so classy and stylish! Not like your typical maternity wear.

  38. Andrea on December 8th, 2007 12:12 pm

    What a beautiful collection! Every mom to be needs to look this good!

  39. Erica on December 8th, 2007 1:18 pm

    I love this collection because they fit like clothes should fit a pregnant woman. They aren’t awkward like most other maternity clothing.

  40. Doreen on December 8th, 2007 8:38 pm

    Beautifully stylish and lovely!!

  41. Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings on December 8th, 2007 10:14 pm
  42. Jenny M on December 8th, 2007 11:35 pm

    I love this collection as it comes in basic colors that will definitley help you get out of the door in a hurry, but yet look stylish=)

  43. K.C. on December 9th, 2007 11:14 am

    Love these because Mira von der Osten is super cool and so are her clothes!

  44. Deborah on December 9th, 2007 3:25 pm

    Very comfy looking! We’re expecting our 4th grandchild in June…daughter could sure use some new clothes!

  45. Destany on December 9th, 2007 8:28 pm

    Lovely collection :) The basic color ensemble is wonderful :)

  46. Anne on December 9th, 2007 9:50 pm

    This collection is elegant and fashionable It seems designed to make the difficult task of dressing well while your body is changing so much easier!

    How wonderful that this designer has put her own experiences and her artistic eye to productive use for others. So many maternity collections out there seem impractical and bulky, but not this one!

  47. robin on December 9th, 2007 11:21 pm

    Oh these are so stylishly beautiful! Love the whole collection and would love to win it for my daughter! Thanks for the op!

  48. Niki on December 10th, 2007 11:26 am

    The collection is stylish, classy and looks very comfortable! Every mama-to-be deserves a collection like this one!
    Thank you so much for the opportunity to win such a fantastic collection!

  52. Rachelle Regan on December 11th, 2007 5:10 pm
