Denim Craze!

August 23rd, 2010

Even though most of us are still sweating in this hot, humid weather fall really is right around the corner! Everyone loves a change of seasons and the new wardrobe that comes along with it. Fall is the best because you get to go shopping for cute new jeans. Check out some of our favorite maternity denim this season!

If you’re looking for comfort and style then you don’t have to look any further than the JBrand Maternity Legging. These super soft and stretchy denim maternity leggings are the perfect transition piece. Their lightweight material is ideal for fall. Wear them with a flat in warmer temperatures and transition them into winter by pairing with boots.

You might not have heard of the hot new denim brand DL1961, but trust us when we say that you will love them. Their stretchy over-the-belly band is super comfortable and will guarantee that your jeans stay in place. You’ll also their 4-way stretch denim that provides comfort and is universally flattering.

Ask most women who their favorite denim designer is and they’ll say Paige. The same goes for maternity. Paige has perfected their maternity denim so that whether you’re looking for a skinny maternity jean or a bootcut maternity jean you’ll be sure to find a pair that suits your every need. Try the Paige Union Skyline Jean. The under the belly fit is perfect for the beginning of your pregnancy, but so comfortable that you’ll be wearing them till the end.

Bethenny’s Beaching Out in NOM!

August 9th, 2010

In the season finale of Bethenny Getting Married the whole gang takes a trip to Montauk. What does Bethenny decide to wear when she’s having a nice relaxing day by the water? None other than one of our bestselling maternity pieces, the NOM Mabel Eyelet Tunic. Even though Bethenny had already given birth to gorgeous baby Bryn she still looked fantastic in this maternity tunic. The flowy body helped hide her barely there postpartum bump. She looked amazing wearing it as a beach cover up, but you can also throw it on with leggings or jeans and have a super stylish outfit. Thanks for supporting NOM Bethenny!

Beat the Heat

July 26th, 2010

We think it’s safe to say that this summer could not get any hotter. Let Belly Dance Maternity help keep you cool. Check out some of our favorite things to help you beat the heat.

One of our favorite dresses for the summer is the Japanese Weekend White Skirt/Dress. This maternity dress is made from a light weight voile material that is very breathable plus the strapless style is perfect for the beach or a shower.

The Bobble Water Bottle is the best way to sip your water this summer in style. This water bottle is perfect for pregnant women because the carbon filter removes chlorine and other contaminants from the water. This BPA free water bottle not only makes your water taste better, but it’s the fraction of the cost of regular bottled water.

When all else fails heading to the pool or a beach is surely the best way to stay cool. Arrive at the water in style in this fun and sexy maternity bikini from Ripe Maternity. The side ruching on the Ripe Maternity Bond Girl Bikini gives it a flattering fit and the halter neck provides lots of support. Comfort and style, what more could a pregnant woman ask for?
