We’re not gonna lie, The Real Housewives of New York is one of our guilty pleasures at Belly Dance Maternity. That’s why we were so excited when Bethenny Frankel came shopping at our Hudson St store. Here’s a pic that Bethenny posted on Twitter wearing one of fabulous Olian maternity dresses.
The Belly Bandit, loved by many new mom’s for it’s ability to help get you back to you pre-pregnancy size quickly, has been featured on both the Rachel Ray Show and Ellen. Check out this link to see the clip from Rachel Ray: http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/show/segments/view/human-lab-belly-fat/.
If you just had your baby and are now trying to get back your fabulous pre-pregnancy body, well ladies, you’re in luck! The Belly Bandit is an amazing product that will help you get back your figure. Based on the ancient technique of belly-binding, the Belly Bandit is essentially a abdonimal compression wrap that encourages better posture and abdominal support. It also aids in decreasing bloating caused by water retention and adds support to your legs and back. We love the Bamboo Belly Bandit, an eco-friendly wrap which is anti-microbial, moisture wicking and three times more durable than cotton. With its smooth and lightweight construction, the Belly Bandit can be worn under anything in your closet and won’t irratate your skin. Featured in Redbook, Pregnancy and Newborn, and US Weekly and on urbanbaby.com, it is easy to see why the Belly Bandit has become a favorite of celebs such as Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani, and Halle Berry.

As all new Moms know, our bodies don’t return to their old selves as soon as the baby is born. What to do then about that stubborn midsection? Luckily for us, an amazing new product called Yummie Tummie has hit store shelves. Created by Heather Thomson, fashion designer and celeb stylist, Yummie Tummie is the PERFECT solution to all your post baby weight problems! Created to be a tank and shaper in one, the Yummie Tummie is the essential item to own after birth - they even make a nursing tank version! The tank has a 100% cotton bust and hip panel that appear to be a normal tank but it’s the secret spandex midsection panel which does all the magic. The secret shaper smoothes from your bust line to your hips, concealing those unwanted muffin tops and post-pregnancy bellies that we all suffer from. The Yummie Tummie has become so popular that it has been featured on everything from Oprah to The Today Show to Entertainment Tonight. For all new Moms out there, this is one product that should definitely be on your list of must-haves!

Recently, we have had lots of celeb shoppers and have been dressing many famous bellies in NOM by Belly Dance styles.
Check out Julia Roberts and Naomi Watts, spotted in NOM by Belly Dance this summer.
With our new Going Green campaign, we want to share with you some our favorite places to enjoy life while caring for the environment. For our New York customers, we love Priti Organic Spa. Featured in magazines and frequented by many NY designers, Priti uses 100% organic products-nail polish, skin care, and even the slippers are biodegradable. Nail polish is formaldehyde, toulene, and dbp free and the varnish remover is made from soy. A favorite of many of our customers, Priti is definitely worth a visit-during and after pregnancy.
Hip mamas (and cool babes) want hip strollers. Judging by the pix in Us Magazine, Maclaren is the choice of celeb moms. And Belly Dance is excited to bring Maclaren to our baby collection at Belly Dance Baby. We never like to miss a trend, especially a practical one.

You may think that you need to shy away from white jeans while expecting. However, white jeans are a clean and stylish alternative during the warm weather months. We love white jeans and white pants paired with solids, stripes, and brights. People Magazine showcased white jeans recently, and you can flaunt this look too.

Flaunt those white jeans the Belly Dance way this season.
Tunics are a hit this season, and customers often ask about outfit ideas. Tunics are a sure bet over long jeans, cropped jeans, white pants, and leggings. However, we like this photo that shows a fashionable way to pair a tunic top with a jean skirt.
Replicate this look with these two pieces from Belly Dance. Our Belly Dance Squareneck Tunic looks perfect with the Paige Premium Denim Skirt.
Belly Dance Maternity is excited to dress Julia Roberts in her new movie, Fireflies in the Garden, which will be released next year. Below is a picture of Julia Roberts on the set, playing a pregnant woman while she is expecting off screen as well.

Any TV watchers out there? Did you check out the new ABC show, Notes From The Underbelly? We did, and we love that there is now a show dedicated to pregnancy and the road to getting there. It is fun to see so much attention on pregnancy these days. And, by the way, in one of the scenes, the show’s star, Lauren, was wearing a dress that looks exactly like our NOM Marilyn Dress. We can’t wait to stay tuned as Lauren’s maternity wardrobe progresses.
