Paige Premium Denim, designed by the former fit model for Seven jeans, is the ultimate jean for real women.  Paige focuses on the right fit even with their non-maternity jeans, and we were so happy that they chose to enter the maternity market.  We are always doubtful about yet another designer maternity jean, but we have seen this on hundreds of pregnant customers, and Paige Premium Denim maternity jeans are fabulous!!  Trust us on this one…

Here is a photo of Eva Longoria in the non-maternity version of Paige.

One of the most frequent questions we receive is about designer denim and how to choose a maternity jean.  It can be difficult to navigate denim brands, so here is a brief lowdown on the latest maternity designer denim:

• Serfontaine Maternity Jean-Recently voted best maternity jean by Fit Pregnancy for a long inseam, we vote Serfontaine for many body types.  More forgiving fit with a true vintage feel, the comfortable ribbed underbelly band and room through the thigh make Serfontaine an easy choice.  Serfontaine’s “rope stitch” has helped define the brand’s hip style and unbeatable cache.
• Habitual Maternity Jean-Habitual has many selling points, but its true point of difference is its underbelly fit with no band.  Habitual has managed to make a maternity jean without a band by using an internal elastic waistband that expands with your belly.  The straighter leg and Habitual logo pockets make these a favorite.  No wonder celebs like Katie Holmes, Heidi Klum, Britney, and Jennifer Garner made these their choice.

• Chip & Pepper Maternity Jean-Chip & Pepper makes a well-fit jean with a bootleg fit.  The underbelly band is only in front, and many customers prefer not having a band all the way around.  This has become one of our most popular maternity jeans, and there is also a fabulous and comfortable pencil skirt.
• Paper Denim & Cloth Maternity Jeans-The dark, clean wash and soft underbelly band make this a favorite.  In addition, the simple Paper Denim pockets add to the sophisticated choice.

Coming Soon:  Paige Premium Denim straight leg, bootleg, and skinny maternity jeans.

Every day customers ask about stretchmarks and what can be done to prevent them.  Well, after asking many doctors, the truth is that some of it is genetic.  However, we have seen many women use Belli Cosmetics Belly Oil with great results.  And supposedly Angelina Jolie and Courteney Cox chose Belli as well.

It can be used on the belly, hips, breasts, and buttocks.  It is a blend of pure plant extracts that prepares skin for stretching. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Go-To-Kola extract have been shown in medical research to help prevent stretchmarks. Lavender and sweet almond oil soothe and calm the senses while nourishing and moisturizing to help skin stretch without the damage.

The “it” bag this year, the StorkSak Gigi has been spotted on Angelina Jolie often.  Seen in People, US Magazine, InStyle, and Life & Style, this bag is both sleek and useful-a match that is hard to make with diaper bags.  We are always on the lookout for cool new bags, and this is it.
