Heidi Klum to launch TWO maternity lines!

That's right- TWO! On February 12th, Heidi launches Lavish for A Pea in the Pod and Loved for Motherhood Maternity. Both collections will be available in store and online.

"I chose to call my collection for A Pea in the Pod Lavish because there is no grander name to express everything you want to give yourself and the child growing within you.....For Motherhood Maternity, Love is a celebration of new life and the love around you and your baby" said the Supermodel Mom.

Lavish is said to include 15 pieces. The line focuses on iconic style and detailed construction. Loved is 14 pieces and present comfort, playfulness and supermodel style.

Maternity by Target- Winter looks for any budget

With holidays right around the corner, maternity mamas are facing a few problems- holiday parties, a change in weather, and a tightening budget. Our go-to staple, Target, has us covered!

We were so pleased to see some of the new Fall looks from Target. This empire dress by Cocoon Maternity ($32.99) struck us as a versatile look that could be worn for many occasions- to work, parties, or just every day casual wear. Completely change the effect of the dress with shoes- a pump for daring mamas making a statement; a tall boot for an edgy, fashion-forward look; or flats for casual comfort.

To take your look from pretty to over-the-top-cool, add this awesome Liz Lange Distressed Moto Jacket in brown ($34.99). The look is casual and cool and guaranteed to be a show stopper.

Want a pretty winter look that you can wear with jeans or leggings? Our choice is the Liz Lange Dolman Knit Top in brown ($19.99). The color is light, the fit is adjustable and the tiny row of sparkle not only gives it a dressy vibe, but adds the effect of a waist which will give your body shape! A great choice for work or dinner parties.

All these looks can be found at Target and Target.com. For all things maternity, children's clothes and parenting, join our message board (it's free). And for news from Fashionmomcafe straight to you, follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

Maternity Monday brings us back to Polarn O. Pyret!

If you've been paying attention, you'll know that we're in love with Polarn O. Pyret! Their designs are fun and functional and their take one childhood is refreshing! But there's more to love about PO.P than just kids clothes- they have Mommy clothes too!

We love this basic halter maternity dress! It's got a built-in sports bra and the material gathers just above the waist to give some definition and curve to your figure. At only $35.25, it's a bargain!

Our favorite item though, by far, is this adorable peasant style skirt ($28.25). It's 100% cotton, totally comfy-looking and that print is simple, but stylish. And to go with it? We love this funky, maternity cardigan sweater ($52.50).

To sweeten the deal, use the code VIP23 to get 30% off your first order and free shipping over $100!

Maternity Monday: It's Old Navy!

We're casting off our frills this week and heading to the mall to cover Old Navy's fall maternity line. Why do we love Old Navy? It's simple! Basic styles with a modern edge at a budget-friendly price! Perfection!

A quick check of new arrivals to the website show the typical fare- bright printed tanks and tops, pleats pleats pleats, and an array of cozy-looking knit pants...but then, we found this cute velour set.

The sweater is $20 and the pants are $15.50 and each comes in 4 colors- Sonya Begonia, Tortoise Shell, Goodnight Nora & Black Jack. We love this set because it gives the look like we're taking this whole pregnancy thing in stride! We're going to drop off our big kids at school, run a few errands, maybe do some shopping....who knows? We're busy and comfy!

We also really love this suggested look:

It's a bit college-looking, but it's all so preppy and we love that sometimes! The striped boat neck sweater is $17.70 and comes in 4 colors: Green, Heather Gray, Pink & Yellow. Maternity Low-Rise Boot-Cut Jeans are $27.50 (a bargain!). Studded leather moccasins are $20 and come in an assortment of colors from the natural (Earthy) to the shocking (Bronze). Long Layering Camis are a must have for any maternity wardrobe- they come in a wide assortment of colors and though they're regularly priced at $8.50 each, when you buy 2 or more, they're only $6 each! The finishing touch on this outfit is the floral burnout jersey scarf- available in 5 colors for only $10 each! That gives you this entire look for only $83.70- including shoes!

Maternity Monday finds us Momzee!

Maternity Monday this week brought us to the interesting doorstep of Momzee! We're so sad to say good-bye to Summer, but couldn't help but smile at the thought of welcoming Fall with this yummy Valerie Cardigan in Stone ($89).

The cardi is lightweight, and though we're guessing it's a Spring item, it would would seem to work out perfectly for overheated, Winter-pregnancy mamas in their last trimester. Need something to go with it? We love the thought of these Buttlifter jeans ($99)

According to the website, these jeans have a slimming and lifting effect in the back, making them a hit! Now, really, having a perky bum might not be the most important thing when you're 9 months pregnant, but really, after dealing with swollen ankles, stretch marks, and I-really-don't-want-to-talk-about-it-right-now changes to your body, isn't it nice to not worry about about the rear? We think so. And that's what puts Momzee on our list of companies we like!

Japanese Weekend Maternity- We might be in Love!

Monday is here, and thus another installment in our Maternity wear series (you didn't think I'd turn you all loose to head to motherhood to wear the first drab, plaid, ruffly thing the sales girl slams toward you, did you?). Today's find is a company called Japanese Weekend. A cursory look over their website shows a wide variety of maternity styles- from business attire, to casual wear, to semi-formal. To me, that screams "one-stop shopping", which, in my book, is ALWAYS a plus! The website also seems to be a bit neurotically organized, which is ALSO a huge plus. When you go to check out the tops, for example, you have your choice of: sleeveless, short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, and long sleeves *swoon*

Some of our favorites from their collection include the Convertible Maternity Dress Go Skirt (yes, the little black must-have dress that can turn into a skirt, though it's perfect as a dress).

We're also in love with the Organic Dual Support Maternity Pant, which looks ultra-comfy ($68)

Lastly, we love this Vintage Knit Sleeveless Nursing Top ($52). It's super feminine and looks like to be flattering and forgiving to any pre and post-baby body (and we LOVE that around here!). Add in the bonus that it's a nursing top and it's a hands-down winner!

Now here's a little insider scoop on Japanese Weekend: All their sales and promotions are posted to Twitter. Check them out @JapaneseWeekend

Maternity Shirts you'll LOVE to wear!

Let's face it, with all the joy that finding out you're having a new little one brings, comes the dread of knowing you're going to spend the next 9 months or more in drab, ill-fitting, ugly maternity wear. Finally somebody has got it right! We are loving these cute tees from 2 Chix (available at Duo Maternity for $38). Styles include "Waistlines are Overrated" and "Pregzilla".

Due Maternity stores are located in Atlanta, Austin, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and online at duematernity.com
