Are you an expecting fashionista who is planning on hitting a Saint Patrick’s Day party tomorrow or simply wants to be festive for the Irish holiday and dress in green?

You might not want to go with a big bright green top but there are creative ways to work the color green in your outfit. We’ve got your 5-step Saint Patrick’s Day Fashion Tips:

Step 1: The easiest option is to throw on a green duster, cardigan or jacket in any shade. We like mint, olive and Army greeen.

Step 2: Alternative to outerwear, you can sneak green in your accessories like his a clutch, medicine bag or tote.

Step 3: Mix it up with red ballet flats or go bold with leopard print pumps, clutch or scarf.

Step 4: Add some chunky jewelry and a funky hat, maybe.

Step 5: Polish it off with a lucky ? shamrock and you’re set!

Pi Day: Get Blaze Artisanal Pizza for $3.14 Today

blaze-pizza
Today is March 14 also known as Pi Day, the numerical figure for the ratio of a circul’s circumference to its diameter is 3.14. The day is celebrated by the eating, purchase and making of actual pies. But a pizza pie is also a pie, right?

So Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza’s nationwide are offering its yummy artisanal pizzas for just $3.14 each.

My family loves these pizzas because they, like & Pizza, Custom Pizza and other chains, allow customers to build their own personal pies. Last year, we lined up with dozens of coeds that live in our college town to get our heavily discounted pizza.

An assembly-line format allows guests to select a number of toppings from fresh ingredients – all for under $8.

 Then, the 11-inch pies are sent to the oven for 180 seconds, emerging “fast-fire’d” and ready to eat.

Blaze Pizza makes its dough from scratch, using a recipe designed by Executive Chef Brad Kent to ensure a crisp, thin crust.

Other signature menu items include fresh salads, blood orange lemonade and s’more pies. The restaurant can cater to dietary needs with gluten-free dough and vegan cheese.

A quickly expanding company, Blaze Pizza’s first opened in California in 2012.

If you live near a Blaze pizza and aren’t blanketed under the Northeast storm, head out there for dinner this evening or for lunch.

Sizzling!

We were geeked to see our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum, singer and The Voice coach Gwen Stefani ditch her signature ruby red lip for neon pink tonight at the Nickelodeon’s 2017 Kids’ Choice Awards at USC Galen Center on March 11, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

The star went with an embellished black rocker glam on the arrival carpet and hit the stage later to present an award in a cute “Slime” theme mini dress.

Good thing the mom to three boys stuck with her trademark platinum pony-tail or we wouldn’t be able to distinguish her from the twenty-something starlets out there.

Man, can you believe she is 47!?! Wow! Hot mama!

 

How Olivia Culpo’s Marchesa Water Dress helps Charity

HOLLYWOOD, CA – FEBRUARY 26: Actor Olivia Culpo unveils a one-of-a-kind Marchesa for Stella Artois gown featuring beads made from the Stella Artois Limited-Edition Chalices that benefit Water.org during the 89th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center on February 26, 2017 in Hollywood, California.

Actress and former beauty queen Olivia Culpo’s Oscar red carpet dress will help provide clean water to children in the developing world.

How?

The former Miss USA and Miss Universe 2012 teamed up with our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Georgina Chapman to design the dress made up of a chalice.

“It’s in partnership with Stella Artois and Water.org,” the star of The Other Woman  told Ryan Secrest on the red carpet. “Stella Artois created chalices and for one chalice sold, five years of clean drinking water is provided for someone in the developing world. So this dress is actually made out of the chalice pieces, and it’s encouraging people to get involved in the water crisis and buy the chalice.”

And it is a stunning masterpiece. It even flows like water.

“We wanted the dress to represent water itself, so it’s sort of cascading,” she explained. “The crystal represents the water as well. We knew we wanted tears.”

She continued, “They did an amazing job…and it’s fun when you can incorporate good things and charity into fashion!”

Nice!

Trending: How to Work Yellow Into Your Wardrobe, Preginistas!

I’m very happy to see that yellow is a happy trending color . It’s a great hue because it’s sunny, bright and could lighten your mood just by wearing it, I think. The downside of yellow if you are expecting and growing a tiny human inside of you is that bright colors like yellow may have you looking like the sun and you might like that.

Never fret! Be creative and find different ways to mix yellow into your wardrobe. Accessories are the best way to do that. Yellow tinted aviators or lemon framed sunglasses, sunflower yellow tassel earrings, a lemon chiffon patterned tote or a canary yellow scarf.

 

I like this Mango man Essential Scarf which is great and lightweight and good for warm or cool temps and runs just $15.

You can walk on sunshine with some yellow ballet flats, loafers or tennis shoes too. I like Bass’s Whitney Weejuns Leather Penny Loafer  ($77)- Women’s If you can be so bold and work in an environment that allows for creative dress, paint your nails yellow.

I also love the idea of a big bright and sunny yellow tote. It is unexpected and eye catching and will certainly turn heads like Aldo’s tote for just $39.00 which is a steal!

However, you can, go big and bold! Shop these styles:

Bryce Howard’s Red Carpet Picks Give Us One More Reason to Love her

more-reasons-to-love

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards went down last night at The Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California and has been notable this year because of its diversity among winners (Viola Davis for Best Actress and Denzel Washington for Best Actor in Fences, Hidden Figures for Best Cast and Mahershala Ali for Best Actor Supporting Role in Moonlight).

But it was noteworthy in the fashion world for another reason.

This not the first time Howard, who was nominated for her performance in an episode of Netflix‘s Black Mirror, has opted to skip the expensive couture and custom designed dresses many stars wear on the red carpet.

In December, the Twilight saga series star wore a dreamy yellow Top Shop gown to the Critics Choice Awards, which sells for just $240 at Topshop. At the 2016 Golden Globes, the daughter of famed actor turned director Ron Howard,  wore a blue Jenny Packham gown that she bought herself at Neiman Marcus the week of the show.

These choices are awesome because in a world where many people clamor to imitate celeb style, she makes it achievable for fashion conscious women of all socio-economic levels. Also, you got to give it up to her for giving back while looking fabulous! Score!

More reasons to love Bryce! Swoon!

This Shoe Trend is Actually Preggers Friendly

shoe-737084_1280

Platform shoes were last popular when worn by the girls on the popular Brit band, The Spice Girls. Interestingly enough, we saw a lot of platforms on the feet of the top models runway shows last fall.  So they are back in style. Ordinarily, you’d think platforms would be off-limits to moms-to-be because that type of shoe elevates the wearer’s height. Pregnant women are often recommended to stay away from high heels because of the fall risk they pose.

An accidental fall could be bad news for mom and baby if she lands wrong from a slip. However, surprisingly, platform shoes give you more security because there is a lot of support on the balls of the feet. Balancing on skinny heels is harder.

Going into the spring season, there are many different options  from sandals, to peep-toe, to booties, to pumps. To give you some ideas on different styles out there, check out these offerings curated with our friends from Shopstyle:
