kelly-clarkson-sia

Our two-time Bellyitch Bumpwatch mama Kelly Clarkson is trending because of her phenomenal cover of Sia‘s “Chandalier” while wearing one of the Australian artist’s signature eye-covering bleach blonde wigs.

The American Idol alum stood in front of a gorgeous flowered wall in her Nashville and belted out an a capella version of the 2014 hit.

“I don’t know how she does this ’cause, ya know, you can’t see,” Clarkson joked afterward of Sia’s hair. “But it’s also kind of awesome, because you’re in your own little world when you’re performing … I love that song. Everybody loves that song.”

Sia, who has penned hit songs for Rihanna, Katy Perry and others in addition to her own, has a signature look the includes half black, half white hair.

Clarkson ended the performance by promoting her second annual all-star Miracle on Broadway Christmas benefit show, set for December 16th at downtown Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

The event, which benefits four local charities, also features Reba, Ronnie Dunn, Kelsea Ballerini, RaeLynn, the Steeldrivers and Chip Esten.

My Pick of 7 Chic Diaper Bags You Can Use After Baby Grows UP

ju ju be

Diaper bags have come a long way. For a few years after first starting this blog, I would publish a most expensive baby item post that was very popular. It included a list of the top most expensive diaper bags.

Even those were not as cool and hip as the options we have now. Here are seven sophisticated, chic, stylish and fabulous baby bags that are so gorge that they’d be marvelous to wear after baby no longer needs a diaper bag and to even keep as a heirloom item that you use for later pregnancies or even pass down. Yes, this can happen! Check out my faves:

One of my faves is Kate Spade’s New York Harmony baby bag. It is so pretty and classic. The simple black with tan trim is fabu.  I also love the smooth nylon material which makes it easy to clean. The silhouette is classic in that it can match with your wardrobe and like most diaper bags, it comes with a changing pad and retails $298. 

gucci diaper bag

Logo and monogram bags are timeless and one bag that is also a status symbol is the original Gucci diaper bag. This beige fabric and leather bag was a staple among high society women. It’s deep with plenty of inside pockets and a ruched side pockets to hold baby bottles and diaper wipes and other items you might want instant access too. It is great for all sizes of women cause the draps drop 17.7 inches. It retails at a hefty $1,150 hence why the rich moms love it so.

skip hop chelsea bag

I just absolutely love the practicality of the Skip Hop Chelsea Diaper Backpack because it can double as a weekender or a casual bag for outings and errands-running. It has a drawstring closure which is great for getting into when  you’re hands are full, but also comes with clip on shoulder straps…because sometimes, you need straps. It too comes with a cushioned changing pad and is just $100! A total steal!

babymel grace bag

Another sleek minimalist bag can be found in Babymel’s Grace Diaper Bag. It has a built-in insulated zipper bottle pocket. Winning! It keeps fluids warm or cool fo up to 4 hours, the manufacturers say. It’s also funcitonal because it is made of polyurethane and can easily be wiped clean. It also has a great price point at $90!

I just love how cosmopolitan and metropolitan Ju-Ju-Be’s BFF Legacy Diaper bag is. I got a chance to check this stylish and smart bag which is one of the latest of four new styles/prints out: The Navigator. It is very pretty. The hardware is pretty sturdy and there is loads of room inside this baby! There is a clip to hold a key chain and lots of interior pockets including a sleeve for a mobile phone so it is easy to whip out when it rings but still insulated from all the other stuff so it doesn’t get moisture on it. Also, because it is inside the bag, it cannot be pick pocketed in a crowded location. The bag is great for fighting germs too. It has Agion antimicrobial lining to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew. And, cleaning the diaper bag is easier, thanks to a Teflon fabric protector that helps repel stains. Use the backpack diaper bag when you want the comfort of ergonomically curved and padded shoulder straps, and the convenience of multiple zippered pockets to stow all of your baby’s essentials. This Ju-Ju-Be backpack has two exterior insulated bottle pockets with Thinsulate to keep items warm or cold.

The easy-to-reach Mommy pocket, featuring a diapers and wipes pocket, on the front of the bag helps moms and dads do quick changes when necessary. There’s also a memory foam changing pad included in the back panel zipper compartment to aid in the process of changing your little one.

The 11.5-inch opening of this compartment is also suitable for holding tablets, small laptops or magazines. Stow your phone in the cell phone pocket, and put away small items like sunglasses or a digital camera in the convenient top storage pocket. Wash this backpack diaper bag as needed in the washing machine, and then let it air dry.

It’s an amazing bag! And it too sells in a great price point at about $180.00 for all you get in this fab bag!

timi and leslie

  1. Another super chic option is Timi & Leslie’s Charlie Diaper Bag.  This bag is made of water-resistant faux leather and it stands out because it also comes with a zippered sac for storing soiled baby clothes and keeping them away from your fresh stash inside. It also has lots of exterior and interior pockets. It’s just $159.99 which is a decent price. I could definitely see one wearing this after baby grows up even!

Finally, the cream de la creme is this gorgeous Burberry Mason Leather & Check Baby Bag. That signature pattern is the hallmark of this British designers’ products. This tote is in a classic shape and is quite the sophisticated piece! This bag is imported from Italy and retails at $1,495 but it’s worth it! Look how gorgeous it is!

Spanx founder Sara Blakely released a new book last week called “The Belly Art Project” which is a book that features over 100 women with their bellies painted creatively.

Blakely launched the initiative in partnership with the nonprofit international organization “Every Mother Counts“, founded by model Christy Turlington, dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for women everywhere. It receives 100% of the proceeds from the sales of the book.

Blakely describes the initiative as part movement, and part celebration of the mother in all of us—the beautiful, creative, inventive spirit that connects everyone. Part of the project’s vision is to present the bellies as billboards for change.

Among celebrities whose painted bellies are featured in the book are Milla Jovovich, mother of two and Kate Winslet, mother of three.  Tamera Mowry-Housley is also featured and she recently shared a photo of the experience of having her belly painted.

“I’m so excited to share an incredible project I got to be a part of while pregnant with Ariah,”  the TV host of FOX TV show The Real shared on her personal blog. the television personality tells blog readers. “On the pages of this book you’ll find over 100 mommas-to-be with painted baby bumps, including an appearance by yours truly.”

Tamera’s spread features her and little Aden hanging out at a lemonade stand. Mowry’s stomach is designed after a lemon and the celebrity mom appears excited to share the sweetness of a drink such as lemonade with fans.

“Thrilled to be part of@sarablakely‘s book, The Belly Art Project!” Mowry-Housley captioned a photo of her belly getting painted when she was pregnant with daughter Ariah.  “Click the link in my bio to learn more about it and to see some bts photos from the shoot when I was pregnant with Ariah.”

Over 300,000 women die every year during labor and delivery due to lack of education, transportation to medical facilities and clinics for routine check ups, and insufficient medical supplies.  A number of women who live in developing parts of the world are miles from health carfe facilities and therefore are often subject to unsterlized equipment.

Every Mother Counts raises awareness and provides support for moms all over the developing world. Buying the book can save a mom or baby’s life. It retails for about $22.

Mowry-Housley and husband Adam Housley welcomed Ariah last year ad are parents to son, almost 4-year old. Aden Tanner.

Weeks After Giving Birth, ‘Veep’s Anna Chlumsky hit Emmy Red Carpet

anna chumlksy

Veep star and Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Anna Chlumsky gave birth to her daughter just weeks before she hit Sunday’s Emmy Awards red carpet.

The My Girl  alum was nominated for the 4th time for a Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Emmy for her role as Amy Bookheimer and instilled the help of designer Chrisitan Sirano to create a bold look for the award show which took place at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday, September 18.

Her second daughter Clara Elizabeth So was born on Thursday, July 28.

Though she lost the award to SNL‘s Kate McKinnon, she stood out in a crinkly metallic off-the-shoulder gold asymmetric gown with an extended train that she helped design.

“This was a collaboration,” Siriano told PeopleStyle of the gown, one of nine looks he designed for the Emmys. “She really wanted something very vintage. She has a lot of vintage references, like old-school ’40s, ’50s dresses. And she wanted this very weird shape because she just had a baby. So she really, I think, didn’t want to show too much of her body, but still wanted to look cool.”

He told the site that he and Chlumsky expected the dress to generate some criticism.

“I think definitely it was a risk,” he says. “The fabric was a risk. The shape was a risk. But it was cool. People get very scared of what they haven’t seen before. Like, ‘Oh, I hate it,’ or ‘Oh, it’s not working,’ because it’s just new to them. But I think that’s okay. We all knew it was going to be something fun and different and not everybody would get it and that’s okay.”

Chlumsky and husband Shaun So also have a 3-year-old daughter, Penelope Joan.

The IG Video Fueling Ciara Pregnancy Rumor 



There’s nothing like a Miss America pageant to fuel pregnancy speculation.

R&B singer and our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Ciara rocked out with several former Miss Americas for a number shown during this Sunday’s broadcast of the historic annual scholarship pageant.

Among the former beauty queens was 8-months preggers, Katie Stam Irk, the 2009 winner. She was super cute in her moves.

In a mutually shared Instagram video, Ciara appears to have a slight bump and an insider said she was expecting, celebrity gossip blogger B. Scott reported on his blog.

It very well could have been a large meal or a slightly bloated belly or a few extra pounds.

Commenters under her photos since then have been speculating over the Promise singer’s choice of looser fitting clothes. 

Ciara and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson tied the knot earlier this year after a year+ of celibate courtship.

Renee Zellweger: Prosthetic Bump in ‘Bridget Jones’ Baby” made her yearn Pregnancy

Renee Zellweger recently said that wearing a prosthetic bump in Bridget Jones’s Baby made her yearn for motherhood.

The actress, who plays an awkward Brit in the popular Diary of Bridget Jones franchise, said even seeing all the ups and downs her character went thru during her pregnancy in the movie she still admires pregnancy.

When asked by Good Moring Britain’s Kate Garraway while promoting the third movie in the UK ahead of the premiere, Renee described parenthood as ‘an adventure’. 

The child less (or child-free) star saluted women who are moms. 

“Kudos to the real mums out there who can’t take it off at the end of the day – it’s quite a load, ” she said.

Zellwegger famously took off 6 years from the movie making to spend more time with family and regroup, she once shared. 

In the Good Morning Britain interview she said, “[I wanted ] to have a little bit of normalcy. Learn some things that weren’t about researching a character. A different kind of life experience that’s all.”

In the film, Jones is a successful TV producer who finds herself pregnant and unknowing who the father of her child is after having back-to-back sexual encounters with her ex and a guy she is dating.

Bridget is unsure whether the father of the child is the faithful Mark Darcy, (Colin Firth), or the dashing American Jack Qwant, played by Grey’s Anatomy’s Doctor McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey).

Highest Teen Pregnancy Rate State Begins Prevention ProgramTargeting College Freshmen

A new state law is hoping to combat the state’s unplanned pregnancy rate at the collegiate level. Arkansas ranks number one in unplanned teenage pregnancies.

The Department of Higher Education is focusing on college students because the highest percentage of unplanned pregnancies is actually amongst 18 and 19 year olds. The Department of Higher Education created a video of real Arkansans telling their stories of how they were impacted by unplanned pregnancy.

“I just thought I can do this. Nothing’s going to happen and I’m not going to get pregnant. I’m not going be that girl. I didn’t think we had any kind of risks,” a person in the video says.

“That’s a very realistic way to talk about what happens when kids come a long when you’re not expecting them,” said Ann Clemmer of the Dept. of Higher Education.

The push is to remind freshman they’re not immune to the risks that comes with being sexually active. A new state law requires all colleges in the state to implement unplanned pregnancy prevention through advising and student orientation.

Virgo Trending: Happy Birthday Blake Lively 



In honor of my Fellow Virgo Blake Lively‘s Birthday, yesterday, August 25th, I’m resharing a past post from the summer:

We covered Blake Lively‘s fab early second trimester maternity style last month and the talented actress hasn’t stopped rocking fierce looks as she continues to promote various movie projects while out and about.

That week, the Kat star hit up several talk shows, starting on Monday, June 20 when she went casual fab in a Madewell Denim jacket over a sunny yellow Jenny Packham maxi dress.

That same day, she late sported a cute  blush colored feminine lace Elie Saab dress, Christian Louboutin‘s “Baby Sweet Charity” Calfskin Leather shoulder bag and a pair of hot silver Suart Weitzman leg wrap sandals.  The heels are a bit too high for our taste for a preggers mama-to-be but they’re still the cutest.

At night, she did the late night talk show circuit in an electric blue Cushnie et Ochs bandage dress accented with a Salvatore Ferragamo purse, and Louboutin Piagalle Follies Floral pumps.  The dress is down from $1395 to $558 at The Outnet now.  That’s practically a steal.

The Gossip Girl alum started the next day, Tuesday in a flirty Michael Kors dress with Alison Lou earrings and a pair of silver metallic Louboutins.

And then, she changed into a crimson Oscar de La Renta dress that showed off her new curves for real.

At the premier of The Shallows, Lively looked fab again in a super cute black and white Carolina Herrera dress,  Loraine Schwartz and again with the Christian Louboutin purse and shoes.

Lively and her husband screen actor Ryan Reynolds are expecting their second child. They are mom to one-year old daughter James Reynolds.
