Posted on November 9, 2014
This weekend was the 2014 Soul Train Centric Awards Weekend at the Orleans Arena Stage in Las Vegas, Nevada.
We spotted several Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums at various pre, show and post-show events.  Tamar Braxton Herbert stopped by the pre-event gifting suite and graced the style stage and sang her hit song. She had various outfit changes through  the night.
New mom Lil Kim walked the red carpet and rocked the stage. 


Erica Campbell of Mary Mary looked fab on the red carpet as did actress, ex-boxer Laila Ali. 
Yesterday, November 8th Tisha Campbell-Martin accepted an award during the Centric Comedy event which also featured Bellyitch 2nd time dad-to-be Donald Faison.


The show was pre-taped and will air on Centric on November 30, 2014. 


Check out some of the pics from the weekend. 

Bonus. Not a bumpwatch alum but an international soca star from my husband’s native Trinidad and Tobago, Machel Montano, won for Best International Performance.

‘Snooki and JWoww’ new season is all about the girls’ respective pregnancy

Posted on November 7, 2014
Former Bellyitch Bumpwatch moms Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and her bestie Jennifer “JWoww” Farley have done a 180 on the fourth season of their MTV hit show  Snooki & JWoww.
At the beginning of the season which debuted this past November 5th, Farley is nine months pregnant and Polizzi is three months along. So the season is about the girls trying to still be their fun and crazy selves whilst carrying their respective bundle  of joy! 
As we know, since taping, olizzi has given birth to her second child, daughter Giovanna Marie LaValle and Farley welcomed her first Meilani Alexandra Matthews. 
What a far cry from their days on The Jersey Shore. And I am so old, I remember waaaaaay back when I was a young MTV regular viewer and the Jersey Shore was just a short short 2-4 episode docu-series about a group of kids on their summer break.
I could not imagine back then, it would have become such a hit reality TV show and would have spawned such mega reality TV stars, all who have matured quite a bit before our eyes.
Anway, check out Zap2it’s interview with the two where they dish about being pregnant together.

Celebrity Fall Maternity Styling Tutorial

Posted on October 28, 2014
This fall, if you aspire to look chic, trendy and stylish like some of our past Bellyitch Bumpwatch celebs, here are some tips to help you along.
1. Stick with basic solids. Black, White, Steel Gray, Red, Maroon, Pink, Beige are your go tos
2. Layer, layer, layer. You will be in various stages of feeling warm or cold anyway, so don’t put on too heavy clothes. Rather, start with a maternity tank, add a thin longsleeve jersey top over that, then top it with a sweater or blazer. Tights are good under skirts too. 


3. Accessories are your friend. Update or make trendy any basic style palette by adding whimsical scarves in fun patterns like leopard print or pucci to add a spark of color to your look. Malin Akerman above does it well while shopping.
4. Big bag. Will Travel. Carry a tote for several reasons. Not only because they can fit a lot of your junk but also, a tote in a structure style is a great fall look.
5. Oh what a Booty! Go with booties in low heel styles to give you a little lift but help you stay stylish. The ones Kristin Cavallari, Gwen Stefani and Kim Kardashian are wearing in the graphic above are great funky options.
6. It’s a Wrap.  Finally, instead of a thick overcoat or jacket, get a warm pashmina  or other oversized scarf to drape over your look. It will polish it off perfectly!

Good luck styling ladies!

Remembering Oscar de la Renta: Biography

Posted on October 21, 2014
The fashion world mourns the loss of veteran fashion designer Oscar de la Renta who passed away at the age of 84 after a battle with cancer. 
Every American First Lady from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama has worn his designs and he had won every fashion award around; been honored by many philanthropic organizations and given many honorary degrees; and served on several charitable organizations’ boards. 
Working right through the end, de la Renta had an eye for women’s fashion.
It figures, he was born Oscar Aristides Ortiz Renta Fiallo in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the only boy in a family of 7 children.
He started his fashion career as a student in Madrid selling his fashion illustrations to earn money. 
Oscar de la Renta and Audrey Hepburn
The then-young upstart eventually landed a plum job working for Cristobal Balenciaga in Madrid. 
“I just learned by looking and observing. He was like God to me. ” Oscar de la Renta has said of Cristobal Balenciaga.


He then moved on to work as an assistant to Antonio del Castillo at Lanvin-Castillo, before getting a job designing for Elizabeth Arden in Manhattan, New York in America in 1963.
When Arden was reluctant to work with Oscar’s vision to create more ready-to-wear women’s clothing, he departed in 1965 to work for Jane Darby and eventually took over her label after Darby’s death.
“Everything Oscar does is feminine, romantic and appropriate. He’s not out there trying to be revolutionary, he just wants his clothes to be extremely attractive, and appropriate without being ‘old.’  If you look through his collection, he has a signature:  ‘Beautiful Clothes.'”  Anna Wintour, editor and chief of Vogue, has said of de la Renta. 
He has stayed true to his aesthetic by refusing to sell out his line and keeping the company in the family. 
His son-in-law Alex Bolen currently operates as Chief Executive Officer, and his step-daughter Eliza Bolen serves as Vice President of Licensing, at Oscar de la Renta, LLC.  
Up until succumbing to cancer, he maintained control over his brand and because of that ensured the consistent quality and vision of his clothing. 
He has dressed many of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch moms-to-be and alums including Kerry Washington, Jennifer Garner, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Fey, Jessica Alba and currently expecting stars Blake Lively and Rahcel Bilson.
Rest in Peace, Oscar. 
Godspeed. Thank you for your talent and art. Your vision will live in on in fashion history.

Celebrity parents are branding their babies with hashtags

Posted on October 17, 2014
When Mariah Carey and Nick Canon welcomed twins Monroe and Moroccan to the world, they famously gave the babies the moniker “dem babies” – slang for them babies and proceeded to create a website for them. The branding has stuck.
Similarly, some may recall during the spring 2013 season of the BravoTV show Real Housewives of Atlanta our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Kim Zolciak  and castmate Kandi Burruss feuded over the baby name Kash.  Upon hearing Burruss’ plans to possibly name her next child Kash, Zolciak let Burruss and the audience know that she had already taken out a trademark for that name so they could be the only ones to capitalize off the name. 

Also, in 2012, Beyonce  and Jay Z  filed to  trademark the name Blue Ivy even after a wedding planner whose business name was Blue Ivy claimed she already owned the rights to that name. 

In the social media world, we are noticing that celebrity parents and past Bumpwatch moms like Jaime King (#JamesKnight), Autumn Reeser (#FinnWarren) and wife of NBA star Chris Bosh, Adrienne Bosh  (#DylanSkye) are attaching their baby’s hashtags to pics they share of them in social media.
They’re not necessarily doing that for copyright purposes but more likely to easily catalog photos of them for later use. 
Nonetheless, the effort is a sort of branding of the baby and could possibly be used later in some fashion.
It’s all quite interesting don’t you think?

#TGIT: Some complain The Limited’s new ‘Scandal’ collection is out of their budget

Posted on October 16, 2014

Today is “Thank God It’s Thursday” (#TGIT) on ABC when many tune into shows starring many Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums like Jessica Capshaw and Ellen Pompeo (Grey’s Anatomy); Kerry Washington (Scandal) and our past featured mom Viola Davis   (How to get away with murder)

Now “Gladiators”, the name for Scandal fans can get the look of the show’s lead character crisis management expert Olivia Pope who is known for her polished, structured looks, which include trenchboats, wide-legged pants, angular dresses and clean lines.



It would be only a matter of time that someone would capitalize on the legions of female fans who crave to get the Pope look.

Show costume designer Lyn Paolo and Washington inked the deal to collaborate on the line for The Limited stores which launched on September 23.

“Our collection evokes the striking and aspirational style that has become synonymous with the Scandal brand and its heroine Olivia Pope,” head designer for The Limited says Elliot Staples said of the line,  “We believe the collection tells a story of confidence and professional sophistication as well as maintaining a strong feminine point of view.”

The only thing now we notice is that many of the women in the target market, including many African American women who helped fuel the fanatical following of the show have replied that they cannot afford the clothes which sell at a price point between $75 to $500, depending on the piece.
