Trend Alert: 80s Acid & Stone Washed Jeans are BACK!

Posted on July 12, 2015

I was in the mall the other day and realized that acid and stone washed denim was back in style. Whoa! How did I miss this during the last season’s international Fashion Weeks ready-to-wear runway shows?

When I last saw that trend, it was the 80s and I was pretty sure back then that it would never make a come back. Never say never because the style has always been spotted on some of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums in recent weeks such as Hayden Panetierre, Busy Phillips, Kim Kardashian and Christina Milian.

And some of the trendier maternity lines are up on it. They have acid and stone washed offerings for the preginista who wants to stay hip and current during pregnancy.

And for new and veteran moms, many non-maternity brands are selling the trend too.

Would you revisit the 80s and go there?

Celebrity Social Media Pregnancy Announcements Guide…More

Posted on February 26, 2015

I saw that Yahoo! Celebrity did a post sharing some of the best celebrity pregnancy announcements.

I thought it was cute how the site pointed out the 5 different ways that celebrity women have used social media to announce their respective pregnancies as opposed to going the traditional route of having a publicist send it to US Weekly or PEOPLE magazine:

1. bun in oven; 2. Use a younger sibling to make the announcement; 3. letting the bump do the talking; 4. Just get to the point and make it direct; and 5. through a beautiful silhouette on a personal website.

Here are some other celeb announcements styles that Yahoo! Missed!

The Ultrasound shared in social media is also a very common but still cute announcement that several celebrities have used like Danielle and Nick Jonas, for example.

The Spaghetti Prego announcement like NFL’s Torrey Smith and his wife. At this point, it’s becoming a bit cliche though given how many people in Pinterest have used that announcement format.

The younger kid making an announcement using a chalkboard like Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh of the NBA and his wife, Adrienne, who used their son Jackson to announce his sister.

Showing the pregnancy test stick is also a trend like how Tamera Mowry-Housley and Busy Phillips did.

But one of the still most popular way is the cupping the belly red carpet reveal like with Beyonce, Amber Rose, Marion Cotillard, and Gwen Stefani.

Posted on June 11, 2014

Yesterday wasn’t an ordinary day for our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum actress Rebecca Gayheart and her hubby actor Eric Dane.

The two helped out the Los Angeles, California-based charity Baby2Baby haul Huggies diapers delivered by the disposable nappies maker to the organization’s headquarters on June 10.

Gayheart and Dane in the past have supported the non-profits efforts to collect cash and product donations that go to help impoverished pregnant and new moms and their babies in the LA area so they can get a good start in parenthood and life.

JWoww thinks “Pregnancy Sucks” and so did these other celebrity reality TV women when they were preggers

Posted on May 3, 2014

So it seems Jennifer “JWoww” Farley is taking cues from her bestie Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi when it comes to declaring in the public how much she dislikes pregnancy.

Snooki infamously told TMZ cameras she thought pregnancy was “disgusting“.

In an inside story in this week’s In Touch Weekly magazine, JWoww declares that “pregnancy sucks!”

While keeping it real, she adds. “I’m exhausted, my boobs are massive and I’ve never been this big. I mean, it’s a blessing, but it’s crazy.”

But JWoww is but the latest in a slate of Reality TV show moms who had spoken openly about their disdain for being pregnant while they were recently preggers.

America’s Next Top Model All-Stars winner Lisa D’Amato said pregnancy is pretty “gross.”

Tamar Braxton-Herbert said one episode the WE TV shows Tamar and Vince that she thought the idea of breastfeeding a baby was “disgusting” and repeatedly focused on the weight gain and being and feeling “fat.”

Much of Kim Kardashian‘s time shown to TV audiences while she was pregnant was dedicated to how fat and unattractive she felt pregnant and her lamenting on being anxious about shedding the weight and posing nude after giving birth.

Certainly, they are entitled to be candid and open and honest. We thought actress Busy Phillips was refreshing when she also shared how it’s never as rosy and perfect as most other celebrity women paint it to be.

Nonetheless, know that with all this public negative chatter, will come harsh words especially from the very large members of the infertility and TTC (trying to conceive) set who would gladly trade nine lives of their lives to experience all the woes and “horrors” of pregnancy.

Just keepin’ it real.
