Pregnant NINA GARCIA loves her BLANQI!

Nina Garcia, über-notable fashion director of marie claire magazine and judge of Lifetime’s Project Runway, loves her BLANQI bodystylers (yeay!)  We met her in New York City during Fashion’s Night Out – she is absolutely lovely!  So sweet and kind, and a pregnancy glow like no other!  She is a gorgeous mama and mama-to-be who makes pregnancy oh-so-fashionable.  We wish her all the very best!

She sent us the handwritten note below – hope our bodystyler makes her pregnancy a little easier ;)

We gifted Heidi Klum & Nina Garcia!

We gifted Heidi Klum & Nina Garcia!

We are beyond thrilled and ecstatic that Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia now each own a BLANQI bodystyler! A former Victorias Secret model and host of Project Runway, Heidi isn’t pregnant, but we thought that she, having experienced multiple pregnancies, would appreciate it nonetheless :)
Nina Garcia is the Fashion director at Marie Claire magazine and is also a judge on Project Runway, and she IS pregnant! Yeay Nina! I met her outside the Pea in the Pod Fashion’s Night Out event in New York, and she was absolutely lovely! So sweet, and so beautiful! She is teeny with a tiny bump! We wish Nina all the very best and hope that our bodystyler will help make the remaining months of her pregnancy a little more comfortable ;)

Fashion Week . Part 1

Wade and I arrived in New York on Friday, September 10, and the rest is like a blur ( no, not that kind of blur :)  A fashion blur.)  We ate, slept, and breathed Fashion Week.  It was go, go, go the whole time!

We started our trip by  attending the Pea in the Pod event hosted by Heidi Klum (amazing to sell our BLANQI BodyStyler in the same store as her.) She just launched her fall line, and showcased it along with a “history of maternity clothes” exhibit. Lots of yummy food and drinks.  Loved it!

CONGRATULATIONS to Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney on the birth of their son Axel Lee!  He is no doubt the most handsome boy on the block!  And with his parents’ genes, no doubt the greatest comedian-to-be!!  Congratulations again – we wish you all the best!

Pregnant Angel

Doutzen Kroes is the next Victorias Secret Angel growing a perfect little baby belly!

These girls are scorned for being too skinny, setting unrealistic standards, and increasing the pressure on “regular” pregnant women to look the same.  In their defense, however, it is their job to look good.  They, if anyone, are under insane pressure to be “perfect.”  It’s probably not fair to be angry with them :(

On a lighter note, I wish Doutzen an amazing pregnancy and that she enjoys every second of it!

Doutzen’s wearing the Very Sexy Push-up Wireless bra ( perfect for a little pregnancy va-va-voom ;) )

Heidi Klum at A Pea in the Pod where BLANQI can be found!!

Heidi Klum launched her new collection at the Pea in the Pod collection store in Beverly Hills.  Our BLANQI bodystyler hangs a few feet away…we are in good company ;)

Jacqui Maxwell, looking gorgeous in her bodystyler!

Jacqui Maxwell, model and actress, has starred in movies like The Dukes of Hazzard, and tv shows such as 24, CSI, Gilmore Girls, and Charmed.  We had the pleasure of working with her at the Expecting Models fashion show in L.A., where she modeled our BLANQI bodystyler.  She is super sweet, and looked amazing on the runway.  These are some snapshots that I took of her outside of the tent – no special lighting, no retouching…natural beauty :) .  Thank you so much Jacqui!  It is lovely to have met you!

Jacqui is wearing the long, pale nude, size large bodystyler.  We paired it with denim leggings and L.A.M.B. wedge sandals.

This shot from the back shows the x-shape that wraps around the front underneath the belly and supports the baby bump!

What is she wearing?

We’ve decided to document Valerie’s pregnancy style journey :) and so will post weekly updates – what she was wearing that day, and how to combine it with our bodystyler.

Today she was wearing a long, pale nude,  size small  bodystyler, with a cropped wrap and sweatpants.  Super cute! :)

Kerri Walsh welcomes son!

Congratulations, Kerri, on your baby boy, Sundance Thomas!  It was lovely meeting you – hope you enjoyed our bodystyler in your last weeks, and that it made life a little easier ;)  We wish you all the best!

Who says you can’t wear horizontal stripes?

Horizontal stripes are generally not the most flattering look, but I think that Valerie looks adorable in hers :)

Kelly Preston and John Travolta expecting

Kelly Preston, 47, is expecting a baby with John Travolta.  Wonderful news :) after such a tragic loss of their son Jett :(

Gwen Stefani + Sea Band = Pregnant??

So Gwen Stefani has as of late been sporting flowy tops and suspicious medical wrap bracelets.  While loose clothing doesn’t imply a baby belly ( could have a big-lunch belly ) the wrist bands have caught the attention of all the media, and of course, readers such as us :)  I did a little digging, and this is what I found:

  • The Sea-Band has been clinically tested against nausea and vomiting in travel, pregnancy, anaesthesia, chemotherapy and all conditions which induce nausea.
  • The Sea-Band is a knitted elasticated wrist band, which operates by applying pressure on the Nei Kuan acupressure point on each wrist by means of a plastic stud.
  • Because the bands do not use drugs, they do not cause any of the side effects associated with anti-nausea drugs and can be worn on each wrist whenever you feel nauseous.
  • They are suitable for adults and children.
  • The Sea-Band may be washed up to five times with a mild detergent in warm water without losing its elasticity. (medexsupply.com)

What do you think?  Pregnant?  If so, dying to gift a BLANQI bodystyler to shape her in style! ;)
