From Naomi Watts and Angelina Jolie to Jennifer Garner and Ellen Pompeo, Hollywood’s style conscious moms-to-be love to rock Citizens of Humanity maternity denim.

During her pregnancy, Sarah Michelle Gellar Prinze sported a pair of their casual jean shorts while running errands last July. Ever the fashionista, Gwen Stefani opted for a skinny dark rinse pair to offset her roomy top while pregnant with Zuma in 2008.


Citizens of Humanity

Known for their superior fit, Citizens brings the same attention to detail to its maternity collection as it does its regular styles.

Their over-the-belly jeans, skirts and shorts are super comfy and hug the body in all the right places. If you love designer and want the look even while pregnant, this is the denim brand for you.

We recommend buying the classic Kelly Bootcut style ($180) as your pregnancy denim staple.

They’re so well-crafted, you’ll only need one pair!  Plus, the cut and color are universal so you can dress them up or down.

Little Marc Jacobs Debuts New Kids Swimwear Line


Little Marc Jacobs Swimwear Line

Winter is looming large on the horizon, but if you’re already daydreaming about fun in the sun with your little one next summer, Marc Jacobs just might play a part. The world-famous fashion designer’s Little Marc Jacobs line is expanding to include swimwear, with a scheduled launch in 2010.

Make no mistake, these suits and beachwear are a splurge — boy styles range in price from $40-$80 while girl styles retail for $72-$88! But if high fashion is a soft spot for you and your tot, you won’t be disappointed.

While the kid suits won’t quite mirror mom and dad’s, they’ll draw from the Marc by Marc Jacobs apparel and accessory line for inspiration, including the use of Little Miss and Mister Marc signature cartoon graphics as well as the designer’s fun “kissing fish” print.

The items will be available in sizes 2-10.

Look for the Little Marc Jacobs new swimwear line in specialty stops and better department stores, as well as in Marc by Marc Jacobs stores, nationwide.
