Last week celebrities shopped for a cause at the launch party for the posh and popular Bel Bambini boutique on Robertson Blvd. Hosted by Joely Fisher and Dayna Devon (who brought daughter Emmi, 23 months), 10% of the proceeds for the afternoon were donated to the Healthy Child Healthy World organization.

VIP Guests included celebrity parents/customers, VIP shoppers and Healthy Child Healthy World supporters including Samantha Harris, Melissa Joan Hart and her son Mason Wilkerson, Kellie Martin (daughter Maggie, 9 months, stayed home), Dr. Linda Li, Anna Getty and more. A great time was had by all. Joely’s daughters Skylar, 6, and True, 18 months, played with toys from Melissa and Doug, Melissa Joan Hart’s son Mason, 20 months, charmed everyone, and Samantha Harris showed off her bump and gorgeous glow. She is due in October — they’re not finding out the sex.

The kid friendly event featured a magician, a healthy selection of catered food and beverages from Izze Organic Soda, and several door prizes and raffles from luxury kid product manufacturers including Svan, Cariboo, Bugaboo, Stokke, Timi & Leslie, Oeuf, Nurseryworks, Lillébaby, Child, Bloom, Argington, Born Free, Litto Kids and more. Dr Linda Li was thrilled when she won one of the biggest door prizes – a brand new Stokke Xplory Stroller. Dayna and Joely also received brand new Stokke strollers in the new orange (Joely) and green (Dayna) colorways.

All the celebrity attendees received a fabulous gift bag worth more than $700, which included a Timi & Leslie diaper bag, Lil’ Dipper baby skin care, Bla Bla Kids dolls, a pair of stride rite shoes, Skincare by Monica, Besitos children fashion and accessories, Odd Rods, Godiva chocolate and more.

Bel Bambini, Italian for "beautiful baby,” is a unique and exquisite boutique where your child’s needs come first. Bel Bambini has created the largest collection of children’s fashion and furnishing in the area. This one-stop shop, located on trendy Robertson Blvd., houses the most luxurious, custom and one-of-a-kind items available for infants, toddlers and pre-teens. Past celebrity clients include Courtney Cox-Arquette, Salma Hayek, Gwen Stefani, Linda Evangelista, Halle Berry, and Mary Louise Parker.

Healthy Child Healthy World’s mission is to educate parents, and all those concerned about the welfare of children, about the preventable childhood health and developmental problems caused by exposure to toxic substances found in homes, schools and communities and to encourage the public to protect children from these toxic threats.

Emmi wears a lola et moi dress from the Spring/Summer collection, which is now on sale for $220 at the Beverly Hills Store – 310.276.LOLA, and
Target Xhilaration Jolynne rhinestone sandals in disco white ($13).  Gotta love the mixing of boutique and superstore brands!

One of her first phrases was ‘mommy juice,’ and it was a big glass of wine. Later, she’d say, ‘You drink that at five o’clock every day.’

Joely and Chris are also parents to True Harlow, nearly 17 months.

Here’s an excerpt from the book that will help you take advantage of Joely’s quote:

POP, THEN SHOP!
When you do finally pop, you’ll be MORE than ready to shop till youdrop! When you head out on your spree, use your pre-pregnancy sizing asa general maternity fit guide, keeping in mind that there isn’t a wholelot of consistency in sizing among maternity designers. You may be anextra-small in one brand’s tees, but large in another’s. Your best bet:Spend some time in the fitting room to assess what works for you. Agreat maternity store should also have those “fake” bellies that youcan Velcro around your existing “new” belly so you can see if thatshirt you have your eye on will fit in month nine! Those strap-onbellies (yep, strap-on!) are very useful and hey, it’s a fun thing tovisualize what’s to come while attempting to master your first realmaternity wardrobe purchase. Just do it…you’ll thank me later!

Once you actually LOOK pregnant, don’t be afraid to take risks—you cancertainly pull it off, maternity momma! Go for fitted tops in boldcolors, fun prints, and flattering cuts to create looks that are cool,hip, and totally you. Stick with body-hugging shapes. Why? Because agreat fit will accentuate your bump…while will then—hooray!—create theillusion of a more slender you everywhere else.

Fortunately for us Gen-Xers, pregnancy doesn’t mean the end of style, sensuality, and sexiness- my ‘maternity’ look didn’t stray too far from my skinny-bitch look.  I shopped in two maternity stores and then stayed with my regular haunts… I sashayed my way through twenty glorious months and I have two gorgeous girl-flavored children to prove it.  Now back to the crunches!

When Justin’s not on the Smallville set, he can be found in the kitchen in the home he shares with wife, ex-Passions co-star Lindsay Hartley, and their daughter, Isabella Justice, 2 1/2, where they bake "anything chocolate."

No matter what you do in any other room of the house, it’s always the kitchen that people congregate in.

Alimi and his wife, actress/writer Dawn, spent months building their dream home and nursery for their daughter, Naya, 22 months.

When you need to do her hair or change her, we pop Baby Einstein into the DVD player. It’s awesome.

Rainn loves going to work everyday on The Office, but nothing compares to coming home to his son Walter McKenzie, 2 1/2, with wife Holiday Reinhorn.

Like Tori, we love this line of hospital gowns! They are 100% cotton, come in great colors and can be worn during and afterlabor.

Some of my favorite dearjohnnies features include snaps down the back (to hide your tush from visitors) and shoulder snaps that make breastfeeding easier.  It’s SO much more comfortable to be in a gown for a while after deliverybut so unfashionable to be wearing the hospital gown so dearjohnnies is really a greatsolution.

The dearjohnnies gowns have caught the eye of celebrities like Jennifer Garner, Mariska Hartigay, Ming-Na, Joely Fisher, Nicole Ari Parker Kodjoe and Melissa Joan Hart among others.

To read my complete review of dearjohnnies hospital gowns and to find out where to purchase the line and how to receive a 15% discount exclusive for CBB readers, check out the Celebrity Baby Blog Reviews site!
