First Look: Salma Hayek Helps Pampers Launch Vaccine Campaign

Nicole Feliciano — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 17:01:00 GMT

Though she’s been in the press lately talking about breastfeeding, Salma Hayek is also hard at work trying to stamp out Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT).

Last week in NYC, Salma teamed up with Pampers and UNICEF to announce the second wave of the "One Pack = One Vaccine" campaign. Here's how it works: for every purchase of specially marked diaper packages, Pampers will fund one tetanus vaccine.

Salma, the campaign spokeswoman, shared her first-hand look at MNT--a disease that claims the lives of 128,00 infants and 30,000 mothers each year--with video clips and press interviews about her UNICEF trip to Sierra Leone. Diva-like behavior is the last thing you’ll get from Salma. The stunning actress believes in rolling up her sleeves (ok, and maybe her shirt too) and hitting the front lines.

For 2009, the goal is to raise enough funding for 30 million additional tetanus vaccines. Look for the Pampers/UNICEF logo in stores now.

Star Mama: Jennifer Garner Has Got Good Jeans

SunnyChanel — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:04:00 GMT

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was totally upset when my blossoming belly outgrew my favorite pair of jeans. The demin pair in question were by J Brand Jeans. Simple, clean cut and great fitting …once. Had I known there were J Brand maternity jeans, I wouldn’t have had to shed any tears or try to use a rubber band to extend my beloved jeans fly in order to get a couple more days, weeks or maybe even a month of wear out of them.

Here Jennifer Garner wears a pair of J Brands Love Story jeans, the ones I wish I knew about. They’re flattering, comfortable and sturdy. And really that’s all you need when knocked up. Oh and lots of sleep. That helps to. Sadly, they ain’t cheap. But if you dare you can get them here for $198.

Taking a big dreamy whiff of basil, expectant mother Jennifer Gardner makes some careful decisions at a Los Angeles farmer’s market. She stepped out for her errands wearing a body hugging Cadeau Maternity Cowl Neck Sweater Dress that is available at Nordstom’s ($148). The dress is a soft knit blend that will expand with you as your belly grows, which when knocked up is a must. Garner must be a big fan of Cadeau , she was photographed last week wearing a purple maternity sweater from the same line. If you want to become a fan too, you can check out this dress and more here.

SunnyChanel — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:56:00 GMT

It looks like Desperate Housewives ex-Melrose Place star Marcia Cross believes in peace and also in change. Perhaps not political change but a good old diaper change for sure.

Here she is with her twins going for a walk with her Dante Beatrix Peace Stroller Tote. This diaper bag makes a statement while also being practical. There are clips on the back of the bag that fasten to the stroller handles, plus two side pockets, a cell phone pocket, big back pocket, interior pockets and comes with a changing pad. Get yours here ($110)

Star Mama: Ashlee Simpson Dresses for Two or Three?

SunnyChanel — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:36:00 GMT

Sometimes you just need a dress big enough to fit you plus one or two kids. This Sunday, Ashlee Simpson wore a roomy black formal gown to the MTV Video Music Awards with her size (and a blabber mouth “friend”) speculating that she’s carrying not one but two Wentz/Simpson buns in her oven.

One thing about carrying around a being or two in your body is that you tend to be a wee bit clumsier with that added girth messing with your equilibrium. Personally, I wouldn’t go for a gown with a voluminous train that could lead to some awkward and painful stumbles. So, I won’t, for your safety, suggest something that dangerous, yeah…I care. Instead you can steal Ashlee’s look with this Matte Jersey long black evening gown from Pea in the Pod ($325).

Star Mama: So Now Who Wears The Gold Shoes In The Family?

SunnyChanel — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:24:00 GMT

So who wears the gold shoes in the family now that little Suri has transitioned to green? (see my previous Suri Shoe Watch here and here) No, it’s not Tom Cruise, it’s Mommy Holmes!

These lovelies are by Lanvin from France and probably cost about six hundred bucks. But ‘cos I care out our dear fashion craved Babble moms out there I found a similar pair for $160 here. They’re a bit less shiny, but if you ain’t a star you really needn’t shine THAT brightly. (via Just Jared)

Star Mama: What do Gwen Stefani and Ashlee Simpson Have in Common?

SunnyChanel — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:44:00 GMT

What do these gals have in common? They both are singers, they are both married to rock stars, they are both knocked up and they both love to dress up their bumps with stripes!

There’s something about stripes that big an optical illusion, at first glance it’s hard to pin point how big they really are, is Gwen trying to play down her ever growing belly and is Ashlee trying to play up hers? Regardless, the stripes look great and are perfect for summer pregnancies. Get your stripes in the form of this striped tank by Isabella Oliver ($80 on sale was $100).

Star Mama: Steal Stefani's Style

SunnyChanel — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:34:00 GMT

Are you dressing for two? Got a big belly you need to clothe? And do you just happen to want to do it with some sort of style? Follow Gwen Stefani’s lead and get all comfy with this basic black wrap around top by Isabella Oliver ($125 here). One of the great things about this shirt is that it’ll fit you through all your trimesters and no matter how gigantic you get, this shirt will keep you covered. And basic black goes with everything even a long paisley hippy skirt like Gwen is wearing above. It’s one of those shirts that I can imagine being worn every single day, just accessorize, mix and match and no one will be the wiser.
