Are you afraid if you are cheap with maternity clothes, you may feel frumpy (or does second hand freak you out)?  Oh, no no, my dear.  Kiki’s Fashions carries some pretty cute stuff!  Did you know they have a $10 and under section?  I know what you are thinking.  Ten bucks will get me what, a belly band?  I was pleasantly surprised when I went browsing.  There is some pretty great tops!  Some of them are sleeveless.  However, you can practice one of the cardinal rules for dressing a pregnant belly.  Layers, layers, layers.  You can either purchase, or keep using those cardigans.  With all of my pregnancies, the cardigan was a staple.  If you don’t mind not being able to button up, you can just keep on using the ones you have in your closet.  Purchase some of these adorable tops for $10 a piece, and you will be the yummy mummy all will be jealous of!

i believe women are gifted with the ability to multitask while men, well, a few are lucky enough to have this super gene. We all like to be sexy and strive to ’save the planet’, right? You CAN look like a hot mama and help our planet at the same time! With the purchase of Pure T by Unbuttoned Maternity, a tree will be planted for you. The t-shirt color is ‘marshland’. It is made with 100% organic supima cotton, and eco-friendly vegetable dyes. The shirt says “We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.”

You can help the planet just by shopping and buying a fabulous top!

Is there a woman or gay man out there who doesn’t like Project Runway?  Last season, we came to love and be completely annoyed with Christian Siriano.  Although he could be like a little chihuahua, he is obviously gifted!  Hold onto your hats ladies (sorry gay men)!  In spring of ‘09 he is will be launching a maternity line!  Siriano is teaming up with Marta Abrams and Elise Rosemarin, founders of Moody Mamas maternity clothes. According to a rep for Moody Mamas, Siriano “thought it would be great for a gay man to team up with two women who’ve never had a baby to do maternity clothes.”  The initial sketches look like comfy maternity wear with the attitude we love from him.  i really hope i am pregnant by then (i will start saving my pennies now)

Do you want to be the friend with a stand out present at the baby shower?  i have found the cutest newborn outfit that is sure to get a laugh and be used….newborn baby scrubs.  They are just as comfy as the grown up version.  The shirt pocket has the perfect place to write down the “specs”.  It would be really cute to have your hospital visitors write a word they want to speak into the new little one, and sign their name with the included permanent pen.  It is large enough to fit a newborn up to 10 pounds (if the baby is that big, my hat goes off to the mama!!!)  The scrubs come in surgical blue or baby pink and arrive in a gift envelope with a display window.

We all want to be hot mamas, right?  When we are growing a child, we still need to feel great about ourselves.  What better time to show off our sexy curves!  Really, what other time can we gain weight and be called cute or sexy?  Our sense of style shouldn’t be left to the wayside during this time, but celebrated.  Basics and accessories can carry you through without much sacrifice.  The most basic of basic, a pair of jeans.  Awhile back i found this great store, called Time of My Life.  Now that your belly is growing you want to trade in your designer jeans for their baby friendly counter part.  Time of My Lifehas the best variety of designers like Citizens of Humanity, Rock and Republic, Seven, and quite a few more.  The best part, everything is maternity wear.  If you want to save a few bucks and still look magnificent, check them out and buy your most worn basic without the sacrifice.

So far this is my favorite creation. Go to Vogue Mum and check out all the variations.

I have added some fun new tees.  Who can resist a pink pirate princess?  Why not show off the fact you are a hot, sexy mama?  Are you a mama who likes it a little more edgy and some skull action?  Show everyone you are a rockin’ mama with a rock star skull.  If you like a little girly but not too much check out some flowers on the vine.  Come on over and see all our t-shirts in the Be a Rock Star clothing category.
