GUESS For Charity

I have the true honor of selling some of the amazing pieces from the closet of Emmy Award Winning Daytime actress Eileen Davidson. She opened her closet doors in hopes of supporting one of her favourite charities, No Kid Hungry.

Newly listed is a GUESS dress from 2010. The Carmella Corset Dress in Taupe. $180

Bustier Bodice. Dress constructed from Spandex/Nylon/Polyester. Size 4

B=31" + (Difficult to account for the seamed full cups)

W=26/7

H=35/6" 

*Garment has stretch

This dress was inspired by Dolce and Gabbana 2009 Spring/Summer Collection.

Belt It: Stretch

Stretch belt's are a Fabulous way to define your waist and show off your curves.  They are chic for women of all shapes and sizes. They are a very figure friendly accessory. Pregnant women can also benefit from belting, below or above the bump.

CHICest Curves

Stylish Cinching

 Naomi Campbell

Victoria Beckham - Studded Stretch Belt

Ivanka Trump

Many women with curves shy away from this stylish stretch accessory in fear of "looking bigger" when in fact they could not be farther from the truth.  Wearing clothing that are "too big" or really "loose" makes you look BIGGER. A stretch belt is one of the FAB tools in a woman's accessory arsenal, use it to define your shape. Celebrate the shape you have. As pictured above with the celebs - EVERY one's unique shape benefits from a stretch belt!

3 Fun ways to add a little STRRRRETCH to your Style:

STYLE Never Takes Maternity Leave

I have about 5 weeks to go until I get to meet baby #2. I am bigger and more uncomfortable than ever but I have yet to sacrifice my personal style and hit perma-yoga-pant status. Many women's body image and view of themselves start to go south with their expanding figures, stretch marks and weight gain as their bodies are hijacked by the most amazing miracle. On my less than fabulous days all it takes is an amazing outfit to make me feel a bit better. It's like a confidence boost and energy via "Style Osmosis" ~ what's on the outside get's inside!

I wanted to share some celebrity maternal style inspiration's. If you are sitting at home reading this, pregnant in track pants, if you are not a mom-to-be yet let is serve as future Mamma Maven motivation AND if you never intend to be a mommy style maven then you can marvel at these women who do it all; spend their time building their empires, growing a person (or two) and still maintain themselves and their personal style.


I'm not suggesting to copy or strive to style yourself after them - just embrace your personal unique style and maintain it no matter what maternal phase you are in at this point in your life. It takes every ounce of energy I have left to put my best foot forward and dress to fashionably face the day - MY WAY!
SOME OF MY RECENT LOOKS! IN ALL MY REPRODUCTIVE GLORY!

My mommy must have for the 3rd trimester: The MAXI Dress. It can be worn a million ways. Dressed up or down, in a print or solid with various accessories! LOVE!
