I love peasant dresses so much and I think they are the best for fashionable and stylish expecting and new moms on the mend after giving birth for three reasons.
1. The A-line Silohuette. This style of dresses is A-line, meaning, the silhouette resembles the letter A. It can conceal a growing bump if you are in your early stages of pregnancy and do not want to reveal the news yet to others. Also, if you are slowly getting your pre-birth body back, a peasant dress can also conceal your still very much there post parump belly.
2. The Empire Waist. Another plus in this style of dress is the fact that a lot of them are empire waist and therefore are usually cut at the breastbone. This design means the dress will not be too constricting on your growing belly or portruding tummy and will give your room to breathe if you are still growing a tiny human and find breathing a little taxing. Yet the Bohemian style is still chic and trendy so you can be cute too.
3. They Flatter All Shapes. I love this style also because they can accommodate most body shapes: Apple, Curvy, thin, and more! I recently purchased a Bohemian dress from Forever 21 and wore it on vacation recently and I discovered I could have worn that dress in three different style. Like a baby doll dress with flip flops for a casual stroll; as a peasant dress for a mid-day outdoor lunch and off the shoulder for an evening out, as I displayed in a recent Instagram post:
The sky’s the limit with peasant dresses I curated a few of my faves in the widget below to give you some inspiration and styling ideas! Enjoy!
Seattle Seahawk‘s Russell Wilson attended this year’s Kids’ Choice Sports Awards and carried to the event his wife, R&B pop star Ciara and their kids 14-month old Sienna Princess and Future Zahir, Ciara’s son from a previous relationship with hip hop artist Future.
The whole family were in shades with the “Level Up” singer in a while sleeveless top, mini skirt with high top wedge sneakers at the event that took place at Barker Hangar on July 19, 2018 in Santa Monica, California.
Future sported a red flannel shirt and matching sneakers, gray shorts and a white T-shirt with a cityscape design, with a fly pair of shades, capturing the spotlight and red carpet in solo pics and with his fam.
Baby sister made her debut on the orange carpet in a cute white tutu and screen onesie with silver high tops like mom.
Ciara and Wilson’s 14-month-old daughter Sienna Princess made her debut on the orange carpet, rocking an angelic ensemble that included a white shirt with a black star print, white tutu and silver sneakers.
Michael Phelps was accompanied by his wife, Nicole Johnson and their son Boomer Robert Phelps on the orange carpet but baby Beckett Richard Phelps joined them in the audience later, wearing the latest in baby loud ear protection.
A few years ago, I started a beauty blog named for myself dedicated to ethnic braided hair called JJBraids.com.
I’ve worn my hair in variety of braided styles for over a decade and usually get stopped in the streets or inboxed by friends, and strangers asking me what type of style was my hair, what particular extensions, if any, were added, and which size, color, length they were; and finally, who did it.
The answer to the last question is easy: my hair braider Dorcas N’Ja who also used to be the personal hair stylist to Venus and Serena Williams and their mom and other sisters. She used to travel down to Florida to do the women’s hair and all, though she has since retired from travel styling.
My blog has taken off and has become one of few resources on the web dedicated to ethnic braided hair styles only.
While a lot of people cannot travel to DC, where Ms. N’Da is located, they can purchase the same extensions and take them to their nearest stylist. My blog has a stylist finder you can access HERE!.
Below are my most popular styles – based on viewer and friends’ preference and where on Amazon or online you can purchase similar hair extensions.
Crochet Braids are all the rage these days. In this article’s header is my hair in crochet braids, a technique that involves cornrowing the natural hair flat and down or around, then adding extensions the same way one would crochet a scarf or sweater. Really! I posted a tutorial on my blog HERE.
The reason why this technique of wearing braided styles is so popular these days is because they take a fraction of the time to install compared to individual braids which can take anywhere from 8-16 hours to install, depending on the length and width. Ms. N’Da usually takes a little over an hour to do my entire head of hair using the crochet method! Imagine!

Crochet styles are usually curly so a lot of people were surprised to learn that this straight pressed hair I wore to my sister’s wedding last year is actually crochet braids!

Also above is crochet but smaller curls.

When bright colored hair came into fashion, I couldn’t help but experiment with it also. It is also a crochet style.

Yes, these look like real dread locks, sister locs, Goddess locs, water locs (they have so many different names depending on their width, softness, loosness, wavy-ness) but they are actually faux locs installed in my hair…yes, crochet style again!
I purchased about 4-5 packs of this hair length, color of the hair and where to get it can be found HERE!
Before crochet braided styling of braids were hot, people used to do half individual braids and half weave. The braider would install the edges and front of the hair in traditional micro, micro mini or medium sized indivual braids, then use the hair weaving method on the middle.
It saved time as well, but unlike crochet braids, weaved hair grows out much faster and needs to be redone more frequently. Well that was my experience anyway.
If you like this style above, you can get my brownish auburn weave here and a matching wavy braided hair HERE!
Waist and bottom-length individual braids, installed in tiny squares across the entire head and braided all the way down can last a long time, but they take a good 14 hours to install if you get one person to do it. If you go to a hair braiding salon or gallery where a bunch of women work, you may have 2-3 working at the same time on your hair which will cut down the time tremendously. You can use the cheapest extensions, Kanekelon on this style which is great because it usually costs a lot of labor time to put in and stylists charge a lot more too.
I purchased about 4-5 packs of this hair length, color of the hair and where to get it can be found HERE!
The following three photos are also achieved using deep wave Kanekelon synthetic hair in Ombre below that you can get HERE!
For a long while, a lot of people who wore their hair in kinky, puffy, or Nubian twists achieved this look infusing with coarse 100% kanekalon or toyokalon fibers. Make sure to get the ones that are shorter and puffy packed. You can purchase a similar style HERE!
The following four styles were achieved using this hair.
Finally, in between styles, I wear my natural hair out like above or wear wigs like the ones below you can get from any hair and beauty supply store. Good luck achieving one or more of these looks this year!
Moms tend to prefer the high waisted ones or belted swim versions like the Out From Under Peek-A-Boo Ring One-Piece Swimsuit that Urban Outfitters sell for $69.00 or its Out From Under Alli Belted High Cut One-Piece Swimsuit $59.99.
Our team has curated their top picks below:
Feeling patriotic?
Wearing the America Flag’s Stars and Stripes have been a trending item in past seasons and doing so is popular each year around the 4th of July.
Actually, according to the US Constitution, the flag should not be worn in the form of clothing. Doing so is a sign of disrespect. However, it is so common nowadays in modern secular society that no one bats an eye if someone wears Old Glory on their bottom.
To be safe, we’d suggest going with a plain t shirt with the flag on it as Gisele Bundchen and Kendall Jenner have been seen wearing in the past. An entire dress, like the ones Halle Berry and Meryl Streep have donned, might be over -the-top but they can work too. You can mix it up by separating the stars from the strips like with a jacket Ciara was spotted wearing is a great not so conspicuous way to show your American pride.
Celebs are famous for flaunting their figures in stripes short shorts. You can get Beyonce’s shorts from Forever 21 for $21.99.
Independence Day is around the corner and for many, that means trips to the beach of the pool. There are tons of very cute swim options for girls and boys out nowadays. The variety and style make it super fun and easy to get dressed up in mommy and Me or daddy and me fashion.
This Seersucker swimsuit for $24.99 on an adult though this version by Gymboree only comes in sizes 3 to 6 months to 12.
Equally attractive, is the Striped Rosette Swimsuit for the same price. Both on sale down from about $40 but that price cannot beat the Rope 2-piece swimsuit for $14.99
And here are other fun swim suits starting at $14.99 by Gymboree’s sister brand Janie and Jack.
Happy Shopping!
The Fanny pack was seen on the runways this Fashion week season.
The functional bags that keep your hands free are a throwback to the 90s but back then, they were usually vinyl and brightly colored. Called a “Fanny pack” because it is worn at the waist, right above the Fanny, the reinvented fashionable ones have more variety.
They are worn across the body, at the waist or on the hip like a holster.
Also called a “bum bag”, the bags famously made an appearance in the 2000s as seen worn by Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Carrie Bradshaw on her hit HBO show Sex and the City.
Last night, I tried out the style while attending a soca music concert and out and about in DC.
I couldn’t help but notice how freeing it was to not have to hold Anything.

Mom-to-be Chanel Iman looked radiant while presenting at the 2018 Fragrance Foundation Awards at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on June 12, 2018 in New York City.
The Victoria Secret model went with her signature red carpet look: a floor-length sleek dress with a deep split. That day, it was a one shoulder dress in crimson color.
It was reminiscent to the black dress she worked to the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards at Brooklyn Museum a couple weeks earlier on June 4, 2018 in New York City.
The 27-year old joins the long list of Vicky Secret models we’ve “bump watched” on the blog including Jourdan Dunn, Gisele Bündchen, Irina Shayk, Shannon Click, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lily Aldridge, Behati Prinsloo, Miranda Kerr, and Bar Refaeli.
Iman and her husband, New York Giant’s Sterling Shepard, are both expecting their first child together
