A South Hampton, NY woman is challenging the Lululemons and Athletas of the expensive yoga gear world with her own store that sells $400 yoga pants.

Come thru Jennifer Bandier.

Bandier is music industry royalty and once managed the popular R&B group TLC with her then husband in the 1990s. She is also the daughter of Sony/ATV Music Publishing chief executive Martin Bandier.

After a string of different serial entrepreneurship endeavors (she owned a bag shop and an by appointment only vintage shop before), Bandier settled on the high-end women’s fitness apparel market and opened up her first shop in Southhampton, New York. After its success among fit moms who crave quality constructed and stylish fitness wear, Bandier quickly opened up another shop on Fifth Avenue that same year.

Listen, new Park Avenue moms, when you’re stressed out about having to wear baby spit up and baby food stains on your top, slip on a pair of these $417 Nordica Leggings.

A Look Back at Our Blog Faves at White House State Dinners

state dinner

On a scale of the Road Runner to Wile E. Coyote how excitedly cute were Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively who became the latest of our our Bellytich Bumpwatch alums to go to a White House State Dinner?

The Vancouver, Canada native got an invite on the heels of the tremendous success of his latest blockbuster action hero film as it is common for celebrities to be invited to State Dinners who have some sort of connection to the nation the US is hosting.

For example, when another bumpwatch alum Dr. Priscilla Chan was still preggers with her and husband Mark Zuckerberg‘s first child, the Chinese American pediatrician attended the State dinner in honor of  China’s Xi Jinping.  They couldn’t just invite the Facebook founder without the others so a bunch of other Tech Giants went too.

This week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie were honored at the White House and hosted by the First Family. For the first time the First Daughters, Sasha and Malia, attended and looked stunning in their ball gowns.

This photo of Malia clowning Sasha having a total fan girl moment with Ryan Reynolds is classic! I am Team Big Sister cause I’m a Big Sister.

They grew up too fast! Waaaaah!

Ciara went with her now-fiance (congrats on that) Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to the dinner honoring Japan’s Shinzo Abe in 2015.

She was stunning! And looking this good only a year after giving birth to her son Future.

And Queen Bey another bumpwatch alum, was the performer at the very first State Dinner the Obamas hosted in 2009. She was caught sneaking in for her performance in the back of the White House.  Ne-Yo, who recently wed Crystal Renay Williams, performed at the last Dinner honoring China in 2015.

And while hosting the British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife, Samantha, First Lady Michelle Obama wore a dress designed by another bumpwatch alum of ours Georgina Chapman who is the founder of Marchesa.

I found my perfect Spring shoe and Reese Witherspoon was wearing it!

reese

I think I found my spring shoe and actress Reese Witherspoon was wearing it at the airport the other day. Gucci makes these sun orange suede Marmont Fringe loafers with the signature double Gs in big gold adornments.

The Walk the Line star paired that glorious shoe while dripping in her own collection, Draper James.

Her jacket and shirt are from the clothing line, home goods and accessories line which is an ode to the Oscar winner’s Southern roots.  It is named after her grandmother, Dorothea Draper and grand-dad William James. Witherspoon credits them for teaching her everything she knows about, dressing and acting “like a lady, to take pride in [her] home, to reach out to help a neighbor, and to always invite everyone in for a visit,” Witherspoon says on the website’s about page.

I also loved the Croc Lady bag she toted so daintily, in true Southern feminine style. A perfect pairing!
