Buying for Baby

As a mother of two myself, I know how quickly little ones can grow out of their clothing.

I get a ton of secondhand clothing from family and friends which is nice, but you still need a couple of brand new ensembles for the tots, especially if there is a special occasion coming up.

There is definitely no lacking in terms of selection of kids clothing stores, but there are a few in particular that you will want to check out.

Crazy 8

If you like the preppy, modern look for your little one, Crazy 8 is an ideal choice for you. Here they feature some of the most adorable clothes for babies to toddlers, boys and girls.

They feature some very stylish clothing, such as ruched leggings, headbands, knit shorts, ribbed tights, bodysuits, camo shorts, and an array of hats and swimwear pieces.

Their prices are very affordable and they are always having sales on. You can check out their line of apparel in one of their retail stores but the entire line is also viewable online.

Baby Gap

We all know of the Gap, where you can find the best picks in men’s clothing, women’s clothing, plus size and maternity clothing, but did you know that they also carry a line of baby clothing? Their apparel is all of the highest quality and always up to date so you can keep your little one in style, but the prices are actually affordable.

Their preppy and print styles are particularly popular, and they feature a variety of departments including pants, jeans, shorts, swimwear, graphic t-shirts, bodysuits, one-pieces, activewear, sweaters, outerwear, shoes and socks, and accessories.

You can check out their selection through the Gap website or visit one of their many retail outlets around North America.

Old Navy

Old Navy is a favorite among parents of babies and toddlers. The prices are low enough that you can get a whole cartful of clothes for your precious little one but they are also very stylish and cute.

The clothes are also extremely durable and the online store almost always features a clearance section that is a bargain shopper’s delight.

They offer everything from bodysuits, swimwear, and jeans to shoes, newborn necessities, tanks and tops and more. Check out the Old Navy website for more.

Of course there is also always the option of making your kids clothes, but few mothers have the time to take a shower let alone sit at a sewing machine for hours. These retailers will help you keep your little one dressed and keep your pocketbook happy at the same time.

There must be something in the LA water, because it seems as though one female celeb after another is coming forth and announcing the big news of their preganncy.

Oh well, pregnancy is a wonderful thing and one thing that is lots of fun with any pregancy is maternity clothes shopping. These days there are so many fun and funky maternity styles available, a far cry from the limited wardrobe selection that our mothers had.

Let’s take a look at how some of the most famous women in Hollywood are staying in style during their nine months of pre-motherhood.

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba

You knew that she was going to be on the list, and I decided to put her right at the top. Not only is Jessica Alba one of the most stunning women you will ever set your eyes on, but she seems to have a pretty decent head on her shoulders as well.

She is sexy yet sophisticated, and has definitely carried that style over into her pregnancy.

Of course she dressed up for this pic to hit the red carpet, but even on the day to day through her pregnancy Jess has managed to stay in style, choosing high-end maternity fashions that suit her sexy-chic persona.

Halle Berry

If anyone knows how to show off an oversized chest from pregnancy and do it classy, it is Halle Berry. She was already drop dead gorgeous to begin with, but pregnancy has definitely treated her well.

Halle is literally glowing, and her months of maternity have only added to her voluptuous curves, in all the right ways.

Halle has dressed often in bright colors throughout her pregnancy, but always in hues that flatter her skin tone and hair. This jewel-toned royal blue color for instance does wonders for her.

Jamie-Lynn Spears

You really can’t be mean to a woman when she’s pregnant can you, kinda like don’t hit a man with glasses?

Well, Jamie-Lynn is adorable, but I have to say her maternity style is pretty boring…Then again, she is just a teenager so I’m sure fashion is the last thing on her mind right now.

Jamie-Lynn has a very casual, almost preppy fashion sense, and so although she is somewhat trendy and definitely covers up more than her sis Brit did during her two pregnancies, she could definitely use a little spicing up.

Minnie Driver

Minnie Driver

Here is a real sweetheart mama to be. Although Minnie Driver continues to keep quiet on the father of her baby, it is obvious that she is in fact pregnant.

She has always had a casual, sort of bohemian-chic style, and I think she almost always looks great. Here she is dressed sweetly in a simple black dress and violet cardigan, with stunning slingback peep-toe pumps.

We may not know who the baby daddy is, but one thing we do know for sure - Minnie Driver is a beautiful, stylish Hollywood mama to be.

There are sure to be more mamas to be added on to this list in the near future, because if it’s not something in the water, then it is sure some sort of Hollywood fad.

Who do you think is the most stylish pregnant celeb in Hollywood today?
