Another FASHIONABLE FRIDAY is brought to you from my mom style editorial feature on Jenesequa, an online and iPad magazine catered to the latest in fashion and beauty and much much more.

The 40-year-old, British designer, mom, wife and vocal vegetarian, Stella McCartney believes in taking risks and is not one to conform when it comes to fashion. Without trying to fit in with the latest fashion trends, McCartney’s fashion line is similar to her very own signature look – classy and effortless. Perfect for the mom that is always on the go.

As a mom, who has the time for an over done look? McCartney, who is a mum to her four fashionable kids – Miller, 6, Robert, 3, Bailey, 5, and Reiley, 1, certainly doesn’t have time to fuss with her wardrobe in the mornings. Wearing slouchy, oversize clothing, boyfriend jackets and cropped pants McCartney shows that moms can still look fashionable, yet comfortable without trying too hard.

McCartney looked to her parents for fashion inspirations (dad is ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and mom was animal rights activist Linda McCartney) by adding sweet elements like pastel, silks and ribbons, animal-free fabric and a touch of rock-n-roll. Subtle and thoughtful details like these make Stella McCartney’s ready-to-wear fashion fresh, crisp and perfect for moms of all ages.

To be the mom that everyone envy’s at the office and the playground – follow these simple Stella-isms:

• Wear loose (but not sloppy) jeans. A great pair of boyfriend jeans can look totally pulled-together, especially when worn with a blouse, blazer and heels.

• A simple white tee paired with a cashmere sweater or vest can make your look stand out amongst the other moms.

• Add a scarf, shades and a fedora to complete your look.

• Own your look – just because it’s on trend does not mean you have to follow – know what looks great on your body and what doesn’t.

• Don’t take yourself to seriously. Being comfortable with yourself can even make a pair of sweats look great on you.

• And lastly, don’t over do it! When it comes to makeup, a dab of lipgloss and a coat of mascara goes a long way.

5 months pregnant with my son

Two years ago this very month, I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my son…with a c-section scheduled for the big day, I was nervous, excited, anxious…you name it, I felt every emotion imaginable. Then finally on December 30th at 1:15p weighing in at 7lbs, 6 ounces I came face to face with my precious angel….

Dear Lil B….

I could never imagine life without you. I would dream of you for so long. All my life I felt like I was chasing for something or someone.  I keep on filling that void with mindless, empty things.  Not knowing that the one thing around me had already represented you. Your dad. It took me 36 years to find you. But only after I stopped running you came along. You’ve helped me become a better person, a person that I never thought I could be.  You’ve given me the greatest gift I can ever know. The gift of motherhood.

Tired of fake pregnancy reports, Beyonce, 30mocks fun of it all in the newly-released behind-the-scenes video of “Countdown”.  “Oh, baby! Oh, baby!” she giggles as she rubs her belly, cracking up about a New York Daily News front-page headline over her baby bump.

“Right now I’m actually shooting the video… and I’m six months pregnant,” she jokes while looking fab in a retro updo. “I’m pretending that my stomach is flat in a bodysuit!”
