Steal That Look, Forty Weeks Style: Melanie Brown

Fw_logo_hi_res by Julia Beck, of Forty Weeks

Splashnews_lela220307b_05_cbb Melanie Brown was looking cool and breezy in a crisp white kimono top and a skinny bottom. Celebrity Baby Blog showed Melanie out with her daughter just days before giving birth to her new addition, a yet-to-be named baby girl on April 3, 2007.

Here is what to keep in mind when Stealing Melanie’s Look, Forty Weeks Style.
*A kimono top is best paired with a skinny bottom to best show-off your bump.
*Solids or patterns work equally well with this decidedly chic look.
*Seek out a mid-length or proportional body to balance out the exaggerated arm detail.
*The cross front of a Kimono is universally flattering, though be sure to avoid too deep of a plunge. Of course, a layering piece is always an option.

Steal That Look Forty Weeks Style – Come on and Kimono
A kimono top is an easy, breezy wardrobe fix for your ever-changing form! The roomy arms and generous body offer comfort and style. Wear it as a weekend look (as Melanie did) or dress it up for almost any occasion.

Duematernity_1942_42244327 A_wish Due Maternity has a stunning solid kimono in their spring collection. I am a fan of the simplicity of the design in this irresistible style. Offered in three colors (ivory, coral and mocha), this top opens up a world of options and comfort.  (pictured left, Due Kimono Maternity Top, $68)

A Wish’s maternity kimono top has longer proportions both in sleeve and length. Choose from berry or black.  The manufacturer suggests dry clean only – which means keeping an extra eye on your longer sleeves to avoid trips to the cleaner (I was a messy maternity eater!!!!).

Duo_0900631b8116dc1fm Cadeau Duo, at JC Penney, has a patterned kimono top offered in a black and the other in a brown base color. This would make a well-priced accent piece with a design that is modern yet wearable.  (pictured left, Duo Kimono Top, $25)

Designed by one of my absolute favorites – Emilia Fabricant – Cadeau means "the gift" in French and this top is certainly that. With careful detailing to flatter the bump, this Kimono is drop-dead gorgeous in black or brown. (pictured right, Cadeau Jersey Tie Top, $120, available at NeimanMarcus.com)

Mel C wants a Spice baby too

Melanie_chisholmNow that all of her former bandmates either have children or are expecting, Melanie Chisholm is feeling the urge to start her own family with all the babies and baby talk around her.

Geri [Halliwell] lives near me now, so Emma [Bunton] and I spent the day with her and Bluebell [10 months] recently. Geri is just really enjoying motherhood and is happy doing that. Meanwhile, Emma is a glowing mum-to-be! We’re all in our 30s now so it’s a natural time to be focusing on family.

Still, although she would love to have children, Sporty Spice says she’s concentrating on her career for the time being.

I definitely want to be a mum and I’d like more than one child. At the moment my priority is my music, but I’m already 33, so I’d better get cracking!

While Mel is still close with Geri, Emma and Victoria Beckham, she has lost touch with Mel B, who is expecting her second child, and was not aware of Scary Spice’s paternity battle with Eddie Murphy. The two would get a chance to catch up should there be a Spice Girls reunion, but Mel doubts that would happen any time soon.

With the impending babies, family is the priority in Spice World right now! A one-off gig would be ideal, but we haven’t had any offers yet.

Pregnant Mel B in London – is Eddie the father?

Former Spice Girl Mel B was spotted arriving at London’s Heathrow airport earlier this week. Mel, looking fashionable in a fur-lined wrap top, leggings, spike heels, bling, and a leopard print belt slung under her belly, is currently 5 months along with what is rumored to be Eddie Murphy’s baby. The new little one will join her daughter Phoenix Chi, 7 1/2, from her first marriage.

She told waiting photogs, "I’m feeling great – I couldn’t be happier, and I’m really looking forward to the baby."

While being interviewed by Dutch TV over the weekend, Eddie was asked if he and Melanie were excited about the baby. He responded, "You’re being presumptuous, because we’re not together anymore. And I don’t know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions, sir." Yikes! It was just announced that he’s been dating Babyface’s ex-wife Tracey for about 6 weeks.
