Wanna look like a hot mama during a night out with the gals? or look uber-sexy on date night with your hubby? well, here are some sure fire tips that works for everyone:

Take it from one POSH Mom, Halle Berry, she always looks flawless.

  1. BREATHE AND SUCK IT IN: Body slimming undergarments are key to keeping any jiggle in check.  Having your jiggle flare all over the place is not a good luck.  Try Spanx Power Panties Shapwear ($25).  Trust me its a life saver.
  2. FIT IS KEY: No Mommy Jeans here.  Yes, comfort is key, but defining your curves (yes we all have curves) will ensure eye catching results. Dress or sleeves too long? head to your local tailor or try double stick tape
  3. CARRY AN EMERGENCY PROP KIT: A small makeup case with key essentials is a must for everyone.  Lipstick, mascara and safety pins are perfect for any fashion mishaps.
  4. REMEMBER THE BASICS: You can never go wrong with a black pencil skirt, leggings, and a simple tee.
  5. DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE: Know what works for you.  Trends aren’t for everyone…work with what you got!

I was introduced to Zulily earlier this week and let me tell you  – I am hooked!  As a fashion-forward gal (Yes, I like to think so!) I still enjoy the thrill of shopping, from afar though, now that I’m a mom it can be challenging wanting to buy the latest heels and/or hip clothing line for my every growing son, but with Zulily I am able to do so and more and still be able to save money.  Yay, Zulily to the rescue!

MommyPoshers, let’s hope that is not the latest trend in parenting – ok, before you become judgmental of this craze with celebrity moms and their sons, let me explain where it all began…the newest ad campaign from our fellow friends at J Crew shows a top designer painting her son’s toes pink!  The ad reads “Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink.  Toenail painting is way more fun in neon.” – ok, now you can begin with the judgements.  I’m all for expressing yourself, but this seems a little too much for me.  In doing my research, I began to realize that this trend is not new for many celebrity moms.  Singer, Gwen Stefani and hubby, Gavin Rosedale’s son Kingston, 4, has been photographed getting manis and pedis (and not with clear topcoats either). It appears that he goes for the multi-colored look!

I like to think of myself as a fashion forward mom, but this is not one trend that I am jumping the band wagon on…are your ladies?

Also, Miz diva herself and People’s Most Beautiful Women in the World, Jennifer Lopez is another celebrity mom who paints her son’s nails. “Because for him, it’s just paint,” J.Lo tells People magazine of her 3-year-old son, Max, with Marc Anthony. “He’s like, ‘I want the blue!’ Then Marc is like, ‘Why are Max’s nails painted?!’ But he won’t sit still so it’s only like two nails.”

Um, am I the only one not really feeling this look???!  Are you a fan of painting your boy’s fingernails pink or even blue?

It was not too long ago (15 months to be exact) where my ever growing belly would have a mind of its own…I would remember wearing my husband t-shirts (for comfort) and his slippers (due to my swollen feet).  But Ladies, I am here to tell you that just because you may feel invaded by the body snatchers, not to worry..here are a few sure fire trends to keep you relaxed and looking fashionable during your nine months of pregnancy bliss:

1. Leggings – this is a great way to feel ultra relaxed, not only is it stretchy but, you can mix and match it with a tunic dress or a sexy top. 

2. Stripes – mama·licious Stripe Knitted Tunic Dress ($21.52).  This is the hottest trend for moms-to-be.  Stripes work for all occasions and look super fashionable.

3. Spanx -You’ll feel comfortable and supported with a soft, non-binding waistband and added under belly support in Mama Spanx Maternity ($28 – $32)

 

Enjoy!  Happy shopping!
