Maternity Style Is Just Baby Steps Away
Fashion and Beauty Tips from
Stylist to the Stars, Pauline Leonard |
(NAPSA)—Moms-to-be
can always use a little extra help when it comes to dressing
their everchanging bodies and celebrity stylist Pauline Leonard
has just the right advice. Leonard has worked with famous moms
including Christie Brinkley and Jane Kaczmarek, and has styled
photo shoots and covers for various magazines including Fit
Pregnancy. “A woman always wants to try and look her best
while she’s pregnant,” says Leonard. “In the
past it’s been difficult to get great maternity pieces
without spending a lot of money, but now it’s easy with
so many affordable—yet fashionable—options.”
Leonard’s philosophy is simple —a woman should never
sacrifice her style during her nine months of pregnancy. She
recommends Old Navy Maternity for its many great options at
such affordable prices. The line, formerly only available at
oldnavy.com, is now also available in 53 stores across the nation.

secrets, log onto oldnavy.com or call 1-800-Old Navy. Here,

appeal without having to compromise your balance, try a shoe
with a sweetheart or kitten heel.
• Calm Your Spirit—Yoga is one
of the best ways to prepare your body for childbirth, and nearly
everyone can do it. Invest in some yoga essentials, like Old
Navy Maternity’s yoga capris ($24.00) and a racer-back
tank with built-in support ($14.50).
• Be Beautiful—Everyone who uses
Dr. Hauschka Stretch Mark Oil swears by it to prevent and minimize
stretch marks. Another favorite is Erba Viva Essential Oils
for the bath—such as the Mommy to Be Milk Bath—
but remember, avoid really hot baths. Luke-warm is much better
for the baby-to-be.
With these celebrity style secrets in mind, pregnant women can
grow and glow effortlessly throughout their nine months. All
it takes are baby steps...in the right direction! |
