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.

Nom Burnout Tunic & Serfontaine Jeans

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.

Each season, we have a favorite piece and this season it is the NOM Brooks Dress.  This dress, available exclusively at Belly Dance, is hip and comfy.

It’s a common question-what do you do when your belly button pops?  For years, our customers have been asking if we have a product that hides the belly button in a fitted top or dress.  Well, finally, the perfect solution is here.  Miss Oops, known for finding solutions to common problems, has introduced Popper Stoppers.  Available in a package of five, these Popper Stoppers are latex-free and have a non-adhesive piece in the middle to prevent belly button irritation.  Featured in In Style, on The Today Show, and in many other places, Miss Oops has solved this dressing dilemma.

This season, white is a stylish alternative.  Do not shy away from white when you are pregnant-crisp white silhouettes look clean and translate well while expecting.  This is one trend you can take from Hollywood to your closet, as seen on Angelina Jolie, Keri Russell, Ellen Pompeo, and Jessica Alba.  Try the popular Chiarakruza Raleigh Pant or Olian Gauze Tie Top.
