First Day of Fall: Wear This Trending Shade; Get Compliments

Posted on September 23, 2019

Fall is salmon harvest season and interestingly, a new alternative Fall color.

Last night, I was out with my sons at the library and noticed one was wearing salmon colored shorts and the other a salmon gingham button down shirt. The color looked great against their cocoa skin.

During this year’s New York Fashion Week, Brandon Maxwell, Tory Burch, Jason Wu and others incorporated that color in their respective collections.

It made me want to go into my closet and scour for some salmon color-clothes to put together for this first official day of fall! But first…I checked out my fave source for inspiration.

I spotted that Fashion Blogger Kirstyn Ann of Glamourzine had done an excellent job incorporating that shade in her fall wardrobe when she paired a deep olive green great button down blouse with an A-Line salmon -colored skirt, accented with a matching Kate Spade army green cross body bagbag and shoes. It’s a little too “matchy matchy” for my taste but still works!

I also spotted this chunky sweater which is a great style for the crisper weather and cooler temps and pairs well with anything, especially tucked into jeans or worn loose over leggings.

Finally, an easy way to incorporate the color in your wardrobe would be via a scarf. Tie is around your neck as a perfect accent to a casual or semi-casual or work outfit and you’re good to go! Watch the compliments come in!

Good luck!

#NYFW: Pregnant Models Stun On Red Carpets and Catwalks

Posted on September 10, 2018

New York Fashion Week did not pass without some expecting ladies making headlines. A very 5-months preggers model Lily Aldridge walked the runway to the Brandon Maxwell show at the Classic Car Club wearing a backless crimson dress from his collection with her hair sleeked back in a parted pony.

Fenty x Puma, Marc Jacobs and Yeezy Season 2 model Slick Woods is expecting her first son with fellow model Adonis Bosso looked supreme fashionable chic while posing on red carpets to various shows she attended.

This is a trend that takes off from this Summer’s breastfeeding model who nursed her 5-month old baby during Sports Illustrated Swimwear week in Miami, Florida.

Last year at NYFW, designer Eckhaus Latta made waves when he sent model and artist Maia Ruth Lee down the catwalk wearing a button-up dress that opened around her baby-carrying belly

“So proud to walk the Brandon Maxwell runway 5 months pregnant! I’ve walked few runways in my life and this is a moment that I’ll look back on forever with great emotion. Thank you Brandon for letting me shine and being such a true gentleman, Love you forever,” Aldridge wrote in the caption to her photo she shared on Instagram.

The palette is foolproof and has versatile shades that are perfect for taking your look from Summer to Fall.”

Honest Beauty lead makeup artist Monika Blunder offered some deets on the look she gave the girls.

“I wanted to create a fresh-faced, Parisian inspired look utilizing monochromatic pink shades that are subtle and allow your skin to shine through,” Blunder said of her inspiration for the look. “I’m obsessed with how chic the lips are in this look – I just added the Honest Beauty lip crayon to the center of the pout and blended outward to achieve that effortless, flushed look.”

Jessica Alba Guest Judges ‘Project Runway’ Finale Show

Posted on September 11, 2017

Third-time mom-to-be Actress Jessica Alba was the guest judge for Season 16’s Project Runway finale fashion show, an event that takes place each year to culminate the season and features the designs of the final four-six designers of that cycle of the long-running hit TV fashion design competition.

This year, the Honest Company CEO sat in the front row in an off the shoulder bump hugging ankle length dress while judging the designs. She later walked the finale runway with the show’s permanent judges designer Zac Posen and journalist Nina Garcia with host Heidi Klum.

The presentation took place at The Shows at Gallery 1, Skylight Clarkson Square on September 8, 2017 in New York City. Since only 4 episodes of this season have aired, we are not supposed to know which designers made it to the finale to show their designs at NYFW but if you’re a loyal watcher of The Lifetime Channel program, you may have guessed the designer form their style aesthetic already revealed on episodes aired so far.

This year, is the first time the show has used models of all size. After introducing the designs, Klum exclaimed to the audience about being inclusive that “Fashion is for everyone!”

Nice.

#NYFW: Celeb Moministas at New York Fashion Week So Far (PHOTOS)

Posted on September 10, 2017

New York Fashion Week is under way! The annual event features runway shows from designers showing off their Spring/Summer 2018 collections at various locations around the city.

For the uninitiated, it’s a big deal to be assigned a front row seat as those few select spots are reserved for A-List fashion editors a and buyers, celebs and upper echelon socialites.

We spotted a few of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums on front rows in quite a few of the early shows. Second-time mom-to-be Nic ky Hilton was spotted with her sister Paris posed at the red carpet to the Harper’s BAZAAR Celebration of “ICONS By Caribbean Roitfeld” at The Plaza Hotel presented by Infor, Laura Mercier, Stella Artois, FUJIFILM and SWAROVSKI on September 8, 2017 in New York City.

Ciara attended too looking regal in Rasario Pre-Fall 2017 dress and coat and her good pal Kim Kardashian-West stunned in a silver Versace off the shoulder gown.

The two friends met up again earlier in the week at the Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2018 Runway Show at Park Avenue Armory on September 6, 2017.

Past features who are models naturally made appearances and walked in shows. Lily Aldridge walked in Jason Wu’s show and attended his dinner introducing his first fragrance along side Jaime King, another one of our alums.

Alridge also attended Daily Front Row’s Fashion Media Awards at Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown on September 8, 2017 which Kim Kardashian-West also attended with her sister, model Kendall Jenner.

Christina Ricci attended the Calvin Klein Collection fashion show on September 7, 2017.

NY Fashion Week: Celeb moms on and off the runway

Posted on September 12, 2015

We are in the middle of another New York Fashion Week and already we’ve spotted some new and current Bellyitch bump watch alums and moms at shows and a few on the runways, and behind the scenes.

Before singer Ciara, Future Jr’s mom, was a R&B pop star, she was a model and these days we’ve seen her return to her model life. She rocked casual attending the Ralph Lauren show this week.

And posed up with another recent bump watch alum Liv Tyler (mom to 7-year old Milo and 7-month old Sailor) and her dad Steven Tyler at Givenchy. Tyler was a long-time Givenchy spokeswoman.

Brand new mom Emily Bustamante (Emily) from VH1‘s Love and Hip Hop was a model mom this week. Her son Rojan is a child model and walked in several shows.

We saw celeb stylist-turned designer Rachel Zoe (another Virgo) supporting backstage at the Givenchy show.

And attend the House of Gant Fall presentation on Thursday with the designers and her hubby Rodger Bermnan.

While previously sharing on IG that she and her team are hard at work on her own show that runs today.

Current 2nd-time mom-to-be Karolína Kurková was also at the Gant show, hamming up the bump in the line’s athletic sweat pants.

Earlier, the Victoria Secret angel shared with her fans and followers in social media that she is a working mom model.

She is having another baby boy, she revealed recently after announcing this summer that she and hubby Archie Drury are expecting again. The couple are parents to 5 year old Tobin Jack.

Last, but not least, Jennifer Husdon, who is also a Virgo and celebrates her birthday today, wore Givenchy while attending and seemingly walking at Givenchy’s show.

She joked about the long walk to her front row seat at the show.
