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

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!

Is it a boy blanqi bump? or a girl blanqi bump?!
It seems these days everyone finds out if they are having a girl or a boy as soon as they can, right around 20 weeks…
…except me! With my first pregnancy with my son Jude, my husband Will liked the element of surprise, so we waited. As much as I fought it, I have to admit it ended up being fun to find out right after giving birth. It really added to the excitement of the moment we had waited 38 long weeks for! So now this time we are waiting again, but I am even more anxious than ever! Since this pregnancy is a bit different than my first, I have googled every wives tale to see what I may be having this time and belly photos of mommies-to-be either having a boy or a girl! Intuition says boy, Blanqi bump says boy, cravings say girl…October 6 can’t come soon enough! My beautiful sister Natalie happens to be pregnant as well- a bit further ahead and due August 10 with her second also. She always finds out what she is having. Here is a photo of her a couple weeks ago…what does that bump say? …boy or girl? Scroll down to see…
(I pulled it off her blog www.thebusybudgetingmama.blogspot.com..sister’s can do that!
Fot those of you that find out if you are having a boy or girl before the big birth day, I suggest that you do what Natalie did and plan a…..ULTRASOUND REVEAL PARTY!! HOW CUTE IS THIS?!? Us Blanqi girl’s LOVE parties..and love ANY excuse to have one!! http://thebusybudgetingmama.blogspot.com/2010/03/ultrasound-reveal-party-boy-or-girl.html
I am not nearly as domesticated as my sister. But since the launch of Blanqi I am at UPS nearly every day making it easier to get care packages in the mail. So of course I had to send a present for the party….again taken from her blog! LOL
It has been so fun to be pregnant simultaneously with my sister while launching BLANQI!! Everyone keeps asking me does the pregnancy bodystyler do everything Sabina and I hoped it would when we designed it…and I respond with IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!!! I am carrying rather low, which seems to be typical for second pregnancies. So the support and lift of my belly bump is amazing. It really replaces all the bulky belts and other bands out there that are not nearly as comfortable, fashionable or versatile as ours. Of all my emotional meltdowns, none have been over not having anything to wear! So I will just have to keep flaunting my unknown Blanqi baby bump, but my sister’s Blanqi bump………..

Jacqui
A couple of more shots of our model Jacqui Maxwell – she is wearing the black, long, sized large bodystyler, with Valerie’s husband’s jeans – add some flip flops and it is pretty much what I lived in when I was pregnant (with my husband’s jeans, of course )

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!

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!
