Rock Star Momma
Pregnancy is the hottest thing in Hollywood right now! A new celeb falls pregnant almost every day, and these mommas are showing how much style you can have during pregnancy ;) Have you wondered just how they do it? Rock Star Momma
, by Skye Hoppus, is your insider's ticket to fabulous (and easy!) pregnancy style.
The first thing I loved about Rock Star Momma is the casual, contemporary language. Hoppus is both down-to-earth and fun. You'll appreciate just how easy the book is to read - and to reference on the go.
Hoppus has thoughtfully built a book that works with you. I read it cover to cover because I wanted to give a good review. And of course you can do that - you may want to in that first trimester when you're reading everything pregnancy you can get your hands on! But you'll quickly find the real strength of Rock Star Momma is how easily you can find exactly what you need.
Don't let the listing of ten chapters deceive you - Hoppus has packed every single chapter full of advice! And each chapter is divided into sections so you can quickly head off those fashion faux paus - no matter where you are or what you're dressing up for.
Hoppus opens the book with a chapter on casual dress. You're going to love the tips she gives on selecting shirts and pants (especially jeans.) Maternity pants are a (thankfully) changing tradition in the world of maternity wear and Hoppus leads you straight through the endless choices. In addition to the shirt and pants basics you'll use this chapter to learn how to pick the perfect tracksuit and casual skirt.
If you're like many mommas-to-be you're a working girl - and Rock Star Momma has you covered. You'll turn to this chapter over and over as you pick suits and skirts. Casual day attire is also covered. Hoppus has included plenty of tips on packing for a business trip while pregnant - invaluable tips I haven't seen anywhere else!
These chapters set an excellent foundation, and Rock Star Momma keeps on building on it! There's a great chapter covering maternity undergarments. Panties, bras, nursing bras - if you're wondering, Hoppus has it reviewed for you.
Further chapters cover dressing up for a night on the town or formal event, workout attire, and how to keep that pregnancy glow on your skin. Hoppus has plenty of practical tips along the sidebars of all chapters to help you get the most out of your clothes and pregnancy pampering products.
Rock Star Momma doesn't forget you have to give birth and take care of a newborn! There are chapters on being comfortable, looking good, and feeling relaxed as you give birth to your baby, and a chapter on looking and feeling good during the postpartum period. Hoppus gives great tips on packing a hospital bag. You'll appreciate the lists even if you're planning a home birth - Hoppus gives inside information on just what you'll want to wear before and after delivery.
Rock Star Momma closes with an extensive resource section. Lots and lots of maternity clothes are covered, of course! But there's plenty more to keep you surfing websites for a few days. I especially appreciated that Hoppus included information on baby-and-mama-safe skin and nail care products.
If you're looking for information on looking your best during pregnancy Rock Star Momma is the way to go. It's practical and easy to use for all Rock Star Mommas to be. Pick it up and start working on your pregnancy panache today ;)
