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)

i have this pair of jeans which get me many compliments.  Want to know how much i paid for them?  Proudly, $15.00!  My hubby and i were out last year after Thanksgiving checking out the sales.  We were next to a Walmart and i said i wanted to pop in to check out their jeans.  i needed a new around the house pair.  Being a stay at home mommy, i don’t want to invest much in clothes that have snot and food on them by the end of the day.  i ended up finding this great pair i love and look amazing on me.  Who knew!  At Walmart!  i love them so much i had to get another pair for around the house.

Pants and jeans are usually investment pieces.  We get some, have them tailored (ok, maybe just me because i am so short), and are confident every time we put them on.  What happens when your pregnant belly starts to not fit in those pants?  The first thought, get some maternity pants, DUH!  You want to be a sexy mama and not spend the money on designer maternity jeans when the ones you have are amazing.  Say hello to the b-buckles (after you click on it then you can give it a “heelloo hot mama”).

b-buckles has a variety of different designs and even plain colors as well.  Not only are they handy but they can also make a fabulous fashion statement.  They even boast an A-list clientele!  If your belly is beginning to expand (or already has and you want more variety), buy some hot b-buckles.

Coco Chanel “invented” the little back dress back in 1926. Ever since it has been a staple in any woman’s wardrobe. If you have a baby growing in your belly, that is no excuse. When i was pregnant with my first, i had an event that required me to hit the streets looking for a little black dress. i found one that i loved and looked amazing on me. It was even marked down quite a bit…score!! This dress has seen me through all three pregnancies with ease. Talk about a serious staple!

The dress is from Kiki’s Fashions.  It has a low V shaped back.  The detail on the front is rhinestones.  it is 95% Cotton 5% Polyester which makes it comfortable to wear and more versatile from night to day.  i think maternity clothes should always be versatile because they aren’t worn for too long of a time so you want all the bang for your buck.

On the right side is more the evening look.  A low kitten heel is perfect for the pregnant mama that doesn’t want to give up her heels but still in the safe range.  Your center of gravity shifts and we don’t want you in the ER because you HAD to wear heels and feel over.  Aren’t the bracelets great?  i saw them and want them!!  The ones with faces are from Nina Valkhoff (most of the site is another language although there is a small English portion).  The red one (which i want also!) is from My Prestigium.  Top off the outfit with some nice chandelier earrings.  A little classy and a little attitude.  Just some advice, you might want to pull on your favorite black shawl.  One of the first rules to dressing a pregnant body, layers, layers layers.

For day time, pair it with some fun ballet slippers, a cute pair of earrings (these are from Claire’s), and a cardigan.  Whahlaa!  Day to evening and evening to day.

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.

Run out and get the July issue of Vogue!  The ever fabulous and pregnant Nicole Kidman sat down for an interview according to Style.com where you can read an edited version.

She talks about how she has fallen in love with the Tennessee landscape and gardening.  Which she laughs about that she has followed her mother and sister into “the Kidman women’s hobby of gardening”.  A place she never thought she would be.  She goes on to chat about why her new movie Australia “is a dream project”.  Best of all, she shares her excitement of finally being able to bear her own child after having adopted two fantastic kids, and her amazing relationship with country star Keith Urban.

When speaking of the surprise of being pregnant she says  “I like the unpredictable nature of it. To feel life growing with you is something very, very special, and I’m going to embrace that completely. I don’t believe in flittering around the edges of things. You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur. And I’m not a voyeur.”  And she certainly isn’t.

Now go get the new issue of Vogue to read the full interview, and check out the pictures by famed Annie Leibovitz!
