Maternity Clothes Christmas Gifts

Searching for that perfect Christmas gift for your favorite mom-to-be? Fear not! There are several essentials that every mom wants and needs, making it a surefire guarantee that you will have the perfect gift.

Cute and comfy pajamas are an essential for every woman, and a pair designed for both maternity and nursing is a great gift option. The Olian sleepwear sets are coveted by all expectant mothers, as they are comfortable, cute, and made incredibly well. The sets are all a bit different, but many include a nursing tank, bottoms, a robe, and a cute baby sleeper. The super soft and lightweight fabric ensures comfort throughout the night, and the fun patterns are feminine and pretty. The Hearts 4 Piece Nursing Pajama set is a favorite among mothers, with the dainty heart pattern. If the gender of the baby is unknown, try the Green Leaf 4 Piece Nursing Pajama Set as the green baby sleeper is unisex.

Another item coveted by expectant mothers is the Bella Band. This seamless knit band is worn over one’s pre-pregnancy pants when they are too small and used to hold up one’s pregnancy pants when they are still a bit too big. It can also be worn after pregnancy to transition back into pre-pregnancy clothing. The Bella Band ensures comfort and one size fits throughout the entire pregnancy. Available in many colors, there is also a lace option that adds extra feminine detail.

Layering is a popular trend, and when one’s baby bump is growing a layering tank is a great way to provide extra coverage. Maternity tanks are designed with extra stretch to fit throughout one’s pregnancy, and they are an excellent gift for any expectant mom. The Essentials Everyday Cami from Bella Band has an ultra-soft knit blend and seamless construction to ensure comfort throughout the day. Perfect for layering, it is cut extra-long to ensure coverage throughout one’s pregnancy.

Surprise that special mom-to-be with the perfect Christmas gift! She will love any of these options as they are both fashionable and functional.

Maternity Swimwear For Your Babymoon

A pre-baby vacation filled with pampering, sleep, and relaxation…sound good? We think so, as do the growing number of couples treating themselves to a restful trip before the baby arrives. So popular, this pre-baby vacation has become known as the Babymoon and is the “last hurrah” for soon to be parents. The Babymoon is designed for relaxation, peacefulness, and bonding time with one’s partner. It is a time to reconnect, put aside the day to day distractions, and focus on one’s relationship. For a relaxing and romantic getaway, there are many Babymoon options available.

Many couples enjoy a destination Babymoon, and choosing a beach getaway is a great idea. One can fly to resorts in Mexico, the Bahamas, or Turks and Caicos for the ultimate Babymooon experience. Here one can lie on the beach, share a couple’s massage, and take romantic strolls in the evening. For these tropical getaways, one needs the perfect maternity swimsuit. A pretty choice for this special time is the Maternal America Black Flutter Halterkini. The halter top has a flattering empire waist design and a mesh fabric that covers one’s baby bump, which is sexy while still providing that extra bit of coverage. A bikini is also perfect for this special time, and is great for tanning on the beach. BelaBumBum’s beautiful Fuchsia Ring Maternity Bikini has a tropical feel with its gorgeous pink color, and the silver rectangles at the bust and hip add the perfect festive touch.

If one does not have a lot of free time for a getaway, a one day Babymoon is a great alternative. Even one day of relaxation with one’s partner provides bonding and rejuvenation time. For a short Babymoon, spend the day relaxing at a spa. Many spas offer couples services as well as services geared specifically for mothers-to-be, such as a pregnancy massage.

No matter how much time one has for a Babymoon, there is an option for everyone. From a tropical getaway to a rejuvenating spa day, spending this special time with one’s partner is the perfect way to prepare for the arrival of one’s baby.

Pregnant Celibrities and Their Maternity Clothes

This week has been an exciting one for many pregnant celebrity mamas, and they are eager to share their joy with the rest of the world. The gorgeous and glowing Jessica Simpson appeared on the Rachel Ray Show yesterday, and was very happy to discuss her pregnancy. When she felt her baby move for the first time, she was overcome with emotion. “I felt [the baby] move the other day for the first time and I had big crocodile tears. It was the coolest thing ever. It did a flip or something. I was like, ‘There it went. It’s there, it’s really there.’” We can feel her joyful emotions, and Jessica said she has been queen of the waterworks during her pregnancy, stating that she has been crying “at the drop of a hat”. She adds that, “Even a great soufflé would make me cry.” Wearing a fitted animal print dress and black tights, Jessica looked ready absolutely stunning.

Another star sharing about her pregnancy this week is the beautiful Jennifer Garner. Gracing the cover of InStyle magazine, Jennifer spoke to them about some of the difficulties pregnancy can bring. She says that she had nausea during her first trimester, and some strange food cravings. She stated, “My kids had never seen Doritos before. They would say, ‘Mom, where did you get that orange chip? I really want that’”. We love her adorable family and know the next baby will be just as sweet. Jennifer also spoke of her pregnancy weight gain. “I wish I was one of those cute pregnant girls who wear skinny jeans throughout their pregnancies. But I just gain weight.” We appreciate her candidness, and think that she looks gorgeous in everything she wears! We look forward to the new babies that will be arriving soon!

Jennifer Garner Third Pregnancy

Always sweet and down to earth, the beautiful Jennifer Garner has been radiating happiness during her third pregnancy. Due the end of February, she and hottie husband Ben Affleck are very excited for the arrival of their newest addition. With two daughters already in the family, Jennifer told Ellen DeGeneres that they do not know the sex of the baby but that she would not mind another girl, stating, “”Three girls is a great way to grow up. I’m one of three girls and my little sister is awesome.” We cannot wait to see whether it is a boy or a girl!

Throughout her pregnancy, Jennifer’s fashion choices have remained true to her relaxed and down to earth style. Just yesterday, Jennifer was spotted running errands around town in jeans, a loose white blouse and a structured blazer. The blazer completes this outfit perfectly, as it creates a flattering silhouette and pairs nicely with the looser top. This outfit works great for daily errands but can easily be dressed up for a night out by pairing it with dark wash jeans and heels. For a similar look, try Maternal America’s Front Tie Blouse and pair it with their Pintuck Jeans. Throw on your favorite color scarf, and the outfit is complete!

Even though she loves a relaxed style, Jennifer also loves to get dressed up for those special occasions. She combines elegance and comfort effortlessly. We adore the bright blue sheath dress she wore in August, and the trendy nude heels she paired it with. For a similar cut, the Embellished Dress from Maternal America works for all stages of one’s pregnancy. The empire waist flatters, and the embellished neckline is classy and stylish.

As a working mom, Jennifer often has meetings to attend. We love the business-style outfit she wore in October, which paired a pencil skirt with an embellished tee and blazer. When wearing a pencil skirt during pregnancy, purchase one that is designed especially for maternity as it will have extra stretch in the waist. The Olian Pencil Skirt is a great option, fitting perfectly under one’s belly with a wide and stretchy waistband. Pair it with a great blouse, and a quick and stylish work outfit is instantly created.

Congratulations to Jennifer and Ben! We look forward to the arrival of their newest addition!

Animal Prints Maternity Clothes Are All The Rage

Cheetah, leopard, zebra…we love the animal print trend this season! Stars have been spotted wearing a variety of animal print clothing, making a trendy and stylish statement. To add animal print into one’s wardrobe, one must do it strategically so as not to create an overwhelming look. Choose one accent piece in a leopard or cheetah print, and wear simpler colors with it. For instance, pairing leopard print flats with skinny jeans and a white tank instantly creates a fresh outfit. If one chooses a top with an animal print, pair it with jeans and simple shoes. This creates a beautiful and stylish balance.

Rachel Zoe, stylist to the stars, rocked the animal print look during her pregnancy earlier this year by pairing leopard print booties with an all-black outfit. The booties added color and pizazz while the monochromatic black was very classic. Just this past week, Beyonce paired a leopard print scarf with skinny jeans, a white tank, and a structured red blazer. The printed scarf pops beautifully against the white and red, without being overpowering. For the taping of a television show appearance in mid-October, the expecting Hilary Duff wore a loose fitting leopard print blouse with tight leather pants. The looseness of the top balanced beautifully with the pants, and the color combination was perfect.

If one loves the leopard print trend, there are several great options. Olian’s ¾ Sleeve Animal Print Maternity Dress is a flattering holiday option, and looks fabulous paired with opaque black tights and black heels. If one just wants a hint of the trend, a great pair of animal print ballet flats or a zebra printed purse will do the trick. Animal print is a great way to pep up one’s maternity style!

Jessica Simpson and Hillary Duff Pictures of the Week

With the holidays just around the corner, stars have been stepping out for many events and we are loving the clothing we see! This past week, some of our favorite mommies to be rocked the red carpets in gorgeous maternity clothing, showing off their burgeoning baby bumps.

At the Footwear News Achievement Awards, the beautiful Jessica Simpson received recognition for her own fabulous footwear designs. Although her footwear collection is gorgeous, it was her stunning outfit that everyone was commenting on. She looked beautiful deep crimson wrap dress. The wrap style accented her curves perfectly, accentuating her hourglass figure and showing off her baby bump. We loved it! For a dress that creates a similar shape, try Maternal America’s Front Tie Keyhole Dress. The V-neck elongates one’s body, creating a longer and leaner look while the V-neck crossover design flatters by accenting the smallest part of one’s body. Pair it with gold heels for a night on the town, or nude pumps for a day at the office.

Another one of our favorite expectant mothers, Hilary Duff, looked beautiful at a holiday soiree with her sister this past week. Hilary always keeps her maternity looks young and fresh while ensuring she is comfortable. Here she paired skinny jeans and heels with a V-neck faux wrap top that was very flattering. This look works well for both during and after pregnancy, as it camouflages one’s bump. The Criss Cross Maternity/Nursing Top from Maternal America has the same great versatility as Hilary’s top. To dress it up, follow Hilary’s lead with skinny jeans and heels, but for casual daytime usage wear it with dark bootcut jeans and cute white sneakers.

We cannot wait to see what else these soon to be first time mothers will wear!

Jessica Simpson Is Pregnant! — “It’s true – I’m going to be a mummy!”

Congratulations to the lovely Jessica Simpson and her tall and sexy fiancé Eric Johnson on the recent announcement of their pregnancy! Rumors had been circulating for quite some time regarding whether or not Jessica was pregnant, when the singer and business-woman tweeted on October 31st, “It’s true – I’m going to be a mummy!” Jessica has often spoken of her desire to be a mother, and we could not be happier that her dream is coming true.

As an incredibly successful fashion designer, Jessica’s pregnancy means that she gets to show off her great fashion sense in a whole new arena—maternity clothing! For a recent evening out, she wore a loose-fitting animal print top with sexy jeans shorts and great black heels. The shorts work great, since she paired them with a looser top to balance the proportion. Animal print is very popular this year, and Olian’s ¾ Length Sleeve Animal Print Maternity Dress is a great way to wear it. For a recent shopping day in New York City, Jessica continued the animal print trend with a great structured black and leopard print leather jacket, pairing it with a fitted black tank, black leggings, and knee-high boots. This look is the perfect combination between comfort and style, as the stretchy top and leggings are ultra-comfy and the jacket creates a beautiful and flattering silhouette. Try Bella Band Essential’s Everyday Cami and Japanese Weekend’s Over the Belly Maternity Leggings for an equally comfy look. A great cropped motorcycle jacket adds edge and a flattering shape.

For a more formal event, the launch of her tween clothing line, Jessica wanted to maintain a high level of comfort while look chic and fashionable. She hit her mark, sporting a long-sleeve black tunic, black tights, and dressing it up with fabulous jewelry. Adding statement earrings, a great ring, or a bold necklace to any outfit will instantly dress it up and take it to the next level, while still allowing one to maintain one’s comfort.

We are so happy for the beautiful couple, and are eagerly awaiting the birth of their child!

Is Jennifer Aniston Pregnant?

Jennifer Aniston, pregnant? Tongues are wagging after Jennifer’s appearance Monday evening at Elle’s 18th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute. Wearing a gorgeous silver mini-dress, the slightest hint of a bump showed beneath the sequins. Although nothing has been confirmed by her or her reps, we are hoping that the bump is indeed a little bundle of joy! Jennifer recently moved in with her boyfriend, the dark and handsome Justin Theroux, and with the love one sees between them we would not be surprised if they decided they were ready to add a baby to the family.

Jennifer’s style is always impeccable, and we are sure her maternity style would be just as effortlessly fashionable. She manages to have a beach-goddess, hip city girl look all combined in one. By combining her softly curled hair with a black studded jacket, she expertly mixes softness and hardness. If Jennifer is pregnant, (fingers crossed!) we know we would love her maternity style. For running errands around New York City, we could see her rocking a great pair of boot cut jeans, a classic white tee, and a short, fitted blazer. 1 in the Oven’s InvisiBelly Maternity Jeans paired with Shade’s Maternity Baby Tee would work perfectly for her, and are great versatile options. Pairing it with a black blazer and black espadrilles or boots would complete this look, and stay true to her style.

Jennifer loves to show off her gorgeous legs, and this is easily a look she can wear during pregnancy. For a date night with Justin, or a fun night out with her BFF’s, we think a short dressed paired with some funky black heels is a must. Olian’s ¾ Sleeve Animal Print Dress is sexy and classic, with the funky leopard print making a statement and the black trim bringing the whole look together. Jennifer can style it with her trade-mark soft waves, a chunky gold watch, and her favorite pair of black heels. We hope that the little bump we saw is indeed an indication that Jennifer is pregnant!

Pregnant Tori Spelling

With just one more week to go before her due date, we know Tori Spelling and hubby Dean McDermott must be so excited for the arrival of the newest addition to their family! Throughout her pregnancy, Tori has looked chic and stylish while still being comfortable and relaxed. One of her pregnancy staples has been the maxi dress, in which Tori has looked truly stunning! Maxi dresses are a great idea for pregnancy, as they combine style and comfort in one. Just this week, Tori was spotted shopping for Halloween decoration in a beautiful, floral printed maxi dress. Its modified sweetheart neckline and empire waist flattered her baby bump. She wore hers with a sleeveless lace blouse, but with fall in full swing one can pair it with a great cozy cardigan. For a similar look in a beautiful autumn orange, try Maternal America’s Strapless Dress/Skirt. This maxi, which can also be worn as a skirt, looks great with a brown or white cardigan and brown strappy sandals.

We also love Tori’s use of color throughout her pregnancy. She chooses vibrant hues that exude happiness. At the end of August Tori was spotted with her adorable children wearing a loose fitting, ¾ length sleeve, deep blue dress. The vibrant blue fabric compliments her skin tone beautifully while making a statement. With autumn here, a ¾ length sleeve transitions perfectly from warmer to cooler weather. If you like Tori’s look, Maternal America’s Front Tie Keyhole Dress is similar with a rich, blue hue and those ever versatile ¾ length sleeves. For fall, pair it with tights and flat boots or ballet flats.

We are so excited for the impending arrival of Tori and Dean’s third child! Congratulations to the happy couple and we look forward to seeing the newest addition to their family.
