Celebrity Jewelry Style: Pregnancy Edition!

To say I've got baby on the brain would be an understatement. She doesn't let me forget about her for too long, even if I tried. With her rolly-polly moves and cute little kicks, my little buddy is definitely making her presence known. Not to mention my ever-expanding waist-line that shocks me every morning when I catch my reflection in the mirror. My mission this weekend is to find a decent pair of maternity skinny jeans. I can't go on without them.

But what about jewelry style? Does this change or need to change as your belly grows? Well obviously it doesn't have to! But I love wearing longer necklaces with pendants to accentuate my bump. This would be my biggest shift in accessorizing since the appearance of the bump. I also think going necklace free and wearing dangly earrings or hoops is a super cool maternity look. And you can keep those arm parties coming. Baby probably likes the sound of those clinging and clanging bracelets and isn't around to pull on them - yet.

Here is a photo of a necklace I made to fill my need for longer pendants. It's a purple amethyst druzy hung on gold plated chain. I added two strands of smaller gold chain as an interesting detail. Also, as a side note, this is my first Instagram pic! Follow me here!

But enough about me, let's look to the celebs to see how they accessories during pregnancy. They always do it best, right?

Do you have any pregnancy style tips to share?

Best Of: Jewelry from the Golden Globes 2013

The Golden Globes were last night and there was no shortage of colour, sparkle, and glam on the red carpet.  Red was the popular gown colour of choice, there was loads of lace, and earrings were front and centre.

In the jewelry category my favorites were: Megan Fox's long pink earrings, Kate Hudson's melange of Jennifer Meyer rings, and Jessica Alba's sparkly Harry Winston necklace.  And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Sienna Miller rocking the one earring trend! Actually, she had three earrings on one ear, but her other ear was completely bare. This trend is crossing over to the red carpet folks!

Maternity Jewelry: For the Expectant Mom

Baby bumps are becoming one of the most fashionable accessories a woman can have. Every website I visit seems to have one celebrity announcing their pregnancy and another stylishly dressing their baby bump. Celebs have definitely led the way to stylish dressing and accessorizing during pregnancy and women have followed suit! Gone are the days of hiding behind baggy sweatshirts. Fitted maxi dresses, trendy tunics, and skinny jeans are the new maternity wear.

One of the best ways to highlight your bump is with a bump skimming necklace! Take a cue from Jessica Alba and wear a long necklace to show off your bump. Wearing your impending bundle of joy's initial around your neck is another fun way to accessorize during pregnancy. And you can continue to wear your sweet charm once baby is born. My favorite choice from the bunch? The long bump skimming peanut necklace I found on anthropologie.com. The peanut charm will rest on your little peanut and subtly signal to nosey stranger that yes, you are in fact expecting.

Celebrity Style: Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba is an actress, a multi-tasking mom, and an entrepreneur. Despite a busy lifestyle, Jessica always manages to look stylish and put together - right down the fine details of her accessories.  I for one love Jessica's style. At times she has a rocker-chic vibe, while at other times a more whimsical bohemian vibe, and the next day she'll make ultra preppy look cool. One thing that remains the same no matter what her style? Her killer jewelry.

A few photos of Jessica Alba's enviable jewelry collection below!

Style tips:
Go for chunky necklaces. Jessica loves a statement necklace for day and evening, casual and formal.  Chunky necklaces are youthful and fun.  Don't know where to start? Jessica is a big fan of Gemma Redux, so check out that collection first!

Stack your bracelets. Jessica also loves an arm party! Go for mixed metals and don't forget to add in a few fun pops of color.

Wear earrings with formal outfits. While Jessica's go to accessory is undoubtedly the statement necklace, she tends to switch things up while dressing-up.  You'll often see Jess on the red carpet in a stunning dress and breathtaking earrings. Take a page out of Jessica's book and try retiring your necklaces for a night out in favor of a pair of statement earrings. You'll be glad you did!
