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.

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.

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.
