Maternity trend: The boyfriend shirt
August 26, 2009
The newest trend to hit the streets comes straight out of the closet of your boyfriend or hubby — the boyfriend shirt! How can you wear it so you look feminine and flirty, not like you have thrown on an oversized shirt?
Even though it is called “the boyfriend shirt,” most women can’t get away with actually wearing their man’s shirt — unless you are close to the same size. Look for a woman’s buttoned-up oxford shirt that is long enough to pair with black leggings or slim jeans. You can also wear this top with cuffed jeans and sandals for a classic boys look.
As your pregnancy progresses, pair a belt under your belt to give your body some shape and to avoid the “tent” look.
Not sure where to find this hip look? I love the slouchy style of the Striped Roll-Up Boyfriend Shirt (pictured, $49.50) from Gap.com.

Pregnancy is “IT”
August 26, 2009
By TheFashionSpot.com
There is no shortage of options for mothers to be when it comes to baby fashions…
Still pinning for the latest “it” bag? That’s so last season. What has replaced the “it” bag, you wonder? Well according to the sage Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova, pregnancy has. Defying the notion that pregnancy is as old as time, the 25 year old Kurkova remarked – “You know, it’s probably the new thing to be pregnant. It’s not to have the Chanel python bag. It’s to be pregnant.”
While we must admit that the roster of models who are with child – Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen, and Heidi Klum – is getting rather long, we’re not sure we’re buying Kurkova’s theory. That said, there is no shortage of options for these mothers to be when it comes to baby fashions.
Among the latest designers to join the baby fashion arena are Cynthia Rowley and Nicole Richie. Come September, Rowley will launch a full collection of baby products called Hooray by Cynthia Rowley, sold exclusively at Babies ‘R’ Us stores. Priced between $5.99 and $39.99, the line will include layette pieces like bodysuits coveralls, dresses, accessories, bibs, blankets, playwear separates, diaper bags, and playwear pieces meant to be mixed and matched in sizes newborn to 12 months (both boys and girls).
As for Nicole Richie, she is expanding beyond her House of Harlow 1960 line for a capsule maternity wear collection that she designed along with A Pea in the Pod. The collection, launching August 15th, ranges in price from $48 for tank tops to $148 for maxidresses. Richie told People Magazine that when you’re pregnant “you really feel like you have to change your whole wardrobe. And that’s the last thing a woman wants to go through,” adding “I really tried to make this line to get women excited about wearing clothes. I think the pregnant body is beautiful, and I think you should show it off.”
The ad campaign, shot by photographer James White, stars Richie, who is pregnant with her second child.

Use props: whether it is your sweater, purse or your pooch Rex, holding something in front of your stomach is a sure-fire way to hide the baby evidance.
Use accessories: A long printed scarf is the perfect way to look stylish and hide your baby bump.

Camila Alves hip maternity style: Burnout tees

Pregnant model (and girlfriend of Matthew McConaughey) Camila Alves shows off her hip maternity style as she takes her dogs to the groomers in Malibu over the weekend.
Alves, who is expecting her second child with McConaughey, pairs a lightweight sheer purple tee with dark maternity jeans, knee-high brown boots, a black leather jacket and, of course, a fabulous bag.
Sheer burnout tunics are a hot trend for both the pregnant and non-pregnant set. I love the hip material and fit of the 2 Chix Burnout Tees. These tees are available in a variety of colors and look great paired with jeans. Check them out at 2chix.com.
