Molly Sims shares maternity designer crush
April 22, 2012
Pregnant celeb Molly Sims always looked polished, chic and dressed to the nines! The actress is frequently seen in gorgeous gowns on the red carpet, but also beautiful and flowing maxi dresses and printed blouses when out on the town. The mom-to-be recently shared one of her maternity designer crushes.
“When I first got pregnant I swore I’d stay away from “maternity clothes” for as long as humanly possible! Then I discovered Hatch… I am OB-sessed!” Sims writes on her blog.

Some of her favorite pieces include The Dinner Party Dress ($338), which is a gorgeous and versatile piece that can be belted, dressed up or dressed down, as well as The Shirt Dress ($238).
“Even though they’re designed with the mama-to-be in mind, Hatch’s pieces can barely even be considered maternity clothes because they’re also designed to look amazing before and after your pregnancy!” Sims says. “That way you don’t have to spend money on clothes you’ll never wear again. And I promise, you will still want to wear every piece from this gorgeous line long after the baby’s here.”
Molly Sims isn’t the only celebrity touting the praises of Hatch Maternity – as Gwyneth Paltrow recently wrote on her Goop website that she counted this chic maternity site as one of her favorites.

Rachel Zoe shares transitional maternity style tips
April 17, 2012
Celebrity stylish Rachel Zoe always looked stylish and put together when she was pregnant with her son, Skyler.
“Perhaps one of the most precarious style scenarios to be in is a pregnant one: Your closet is constantly playing catch-up with your body changes,” Zoe writes in her newsletter, The Zoe Report.
Lucky for us, she rounded up her picks of the top transitional maternity picks. “The best thing about our assortment? Everything is relevant to your world from pre-baby to post-birth!” Zoe writes.
Zoe said one maternity must-have is a chic pair of low-rise leggings, such as the Ingrid & Isabel Low-Rise Leggings ($42). The ultimate preggo necessity, invest in these low-rise leggings and try as you might not to wear them every day.
Also on her list? The Raquel Allegra Caftan Dress (pictured, $250). “So technically this isn’t a maternity dress, but that’s why we love it. The relaxed fit and tie-dye design give the piece longevity in your closet,” she says.
Her favorite product for zapping stretch marks is Bio Oil Skincare Oil ($17). “Stressed about stretch marks? Treat them and all other scars with this non-greasy, vitamin-rich oil,” she says.
Of course, Zoe can’t have a complete list with her pick of a fab bag. “Who says diaper bags can’t be chic? This tote is the perfect pick to stow your baby (and mommy) essentials!” she says of the Alexander McQueen Stepney Tote ($625).

Should you dye your hair while pregnant?

Should you dye your hair while pregnant?
April 14, 2012
Many pregnant moms wonder if it is safe to color or highlight their hair during pregnancy, as they are worried about the effect that the chemicals could have on their growing baby. In fact, many pregnant celebrities have recently dyed their hair, including Kourtney Kardashian and Snooki, and have spoken out on this beauty treatment. Molly Sims (pictured) has been spotted leaving the Byron Tracey salon in Beverly Hills with perfect blond highlights. So, is it safe?
“I did research about doing anything to the color of my hair while pregnant and followed all of the guidelines from my doctor and took the proper precautions necessary,” Kourtney Kardashian wrote on her blog, revealing her new lighter highlights. “I also used products that did not contain ammonia. It is also recommended to be in a well-ventilated area as well as being at least in your second trimester, and I followed both of those rules.”

Snooki, who is pregnant with her first child, showed of her new ombre hair and blond extensions on twitter. “The blonde is extensions and he used ammonia free lighter & organic color to make it dark again. All safe [for] us preggers girls!” she wrote on twitter.
We know what the celebs think, but what do the experts say? The American Pregnancy Association talks about the safety of hair treatments during pregnancy on their website.
“Hair dyes are probably safe to use during pregnancy because so little dye is absorbed through the skin. However, it is still important to be cautious, therefore many health care providers recommend that pregnant women not use permanent hair dyes during the first three months. Semi-permanent dyes or a highlighting process may be considered safer for pregnant women. With highlights, the dye is enclosed in foil and won’t be absorbed into the skin. Vegetable dyes such as henna are also considered likely to be safe for coloring hair during pregnancy.”

Steal her maternity style: Kourtney Kardashian
April 13, 2012
Kourtney Kardashian looked radiant in red at the New York launch of the new Windows phone.
“What do you think of my NYC style? I always love a good red dress,” Kourtney wrote on her blog. “I rarely wear anything to my knees, but I happened to love the length with the shape of the dress, especially being pregnant.”
The reality star, who is pregnant with her second child, is wearing a Pinkyotto dress paired with black Christian Louboutin heels.
Kourtney’s maternity style this second time around is a lot different than her first pregnancy, which she was spotted wearing bump-hugging mini dresses and tight tunic tops. This pregnancy she has been spotted in flowing dresses, colorful maxi dresses and skinny jeans paired with loose tunic tops.
Copy her chic maternity style in the ASOS Maternity Shift Dress with Cutwork detail (currently on sale for $69.99). This fab poppy red dress would look great paired with black opaque tights and heels or flats.
Kourtney also is a fan of statement jewelry, recently writing about her Kardashian Kollection acrylic stone ring with rhinestones. “Love this ring… it’s such a statement piece and comes in mint and pale pink,” she wrote.
