Upon hearing that Heidi Klum was releasing 13 new summer pieces for her Lavish maternity collection for a Pea in the Pod, I was mildly excited, but my expectations were low. Now, having viewed it, I am luckily only mildly disappointed. Sadly, the lovely Heidi and producer of Project Runway has again failed to impress [...]

Heidi Klum’s new maternity collections are officially for sale today, both at Pea in the Pod, which is stocking her new 17-piece “Lavish” collection here, and at Motherhood Maternity, which is stocking her 13-piece lower-priced “Loved” collection here.

I still have some last-minute packing to do, but I wanted to write a very quick posting about this new White Cotton Eyelet Maternity Tunic that just went up on the Bellydance Maternity website.  It’s by NOM, aka Naissance on Melrose Maternity, the far-too-ubiquitous maternity line that all the celebrity moms-to-be are wearing in Us [...]

Perhaps you, like me, have been witnessing the latex legging craze that has consumed such starlets as Lindsay Lohan, Rihanna, the Olsen twins, Mischa Barton, etc., and wondered…is it at all feasible that I can pull those off? I readily admit that leggings present their own, curious set of fashion issues, and if you throw [...]

I am always excited when I hear that there is a new designer launching a maternity line because, let’s face it, there simply are not enough fashion options out there for pregnant women. I thought that Nicole Richie’s new maternity line would have to be the highlight of 2009, but last week’s announcement that [...]
