No need to keep looking for Waldo - he was spotted in Hollywood yesterday.  Crap!  That’s not Waldo, it’s just Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and his wife and baby-to-be momma Ashlee Simpson.

Simpson and Wentz were married in May of this year and are expecting their first child in November.  Word on the streets is that their bundle of joy will be a little boy.  How cute would it be if Ashlee knitted the baby a matching Waldo sweater and hat to look just like his daddy.

And retail.

And just like the clothes, the Calvin Klein Home Furniture line is clean, classic without unnecessary design risks but without leaving a strong impression either. There will be two collections available simultaneously: one that goes to Macy’s and one that doesn’t. The CK furniture retailing through Macy’s has three coordinates: City, Weekend and Destination. The highly sophisticated collection that won’t sell at Macy’s is called The Curator. Both furniture collections were received in awe by the critics. Maybe because it’s about Calvin Klein, the brand, and not just because of the furniture’s design, which I find rather dull (except for the leaf bed from the first picture). How do they look to you?

This fun trimester means the extreme fatigue and morning sickness should start easing up and you can really enjoy being pregnant. On a pregnancy fashion note, your belly has grown to the point where you now look “pregnant” (instead of just bloated) and you can start having fun dressing your new curves.

Not sure what to splurge on? Here are 5 fabulous 2nd trimester splurges — all under $50.

1. Highlight your growing bump in a brightly colored graphic tee, such as the flowered print side ruche tee in magenta (pictured, $23.99) from Mimi Maternity.

2. From the v-neckline to the belt tie, a wrap dress perfectly flatters your new curves. Check out the Maternity Faux-Wrap Dress ($32.50) from Old Navy.

3. When shopping for a basic tee, details such as side ruching are essential for a proper maternity fit. This short sleeve surplice tee ($29.99-$34.99) from Mimi Maternity features expensive details at a bargain price.

4. Forget about squeezing into your too-tight pajamas or settling on a ratty t-shirt, pick up this sexy and comfortable maternity polka-dot lace trim chemise ($9.99) from Old Navy. At that price, you can afford to pick up a couple!

5. Every gal needs a Little Black Dress (LBD) in their wardrobe. They can be paired with ballet flats for a casual look or strappy heels for a dressed-up occasion. Check out the casual knit dress ($49.99) from Mimi Maternity.

She’s been eating for two as of late, and yesterday Jennifer Garner enjoyed a delicious lunch out with friends at the Ivy at the Shore restaurant in Santa Monica, California.

The “Catch and Release” babe looked cute and casual in a pink maternity sweater with a navy blue skirt and sandals as she strolled down the street.

I love Old Navy for really basic wardrobe staples like knits, weekend jeans and workout gear. Old Navy has also been a lifesaver this pregnancy, offering budget-friendly and fashionable maternity wear.

Ways to get this great deal on clothing AND save even more???

1. Use Ebates before heading to Old Navy. Ebates is a site that gives you a percentage back in cash from your purchases. Ebates is free, you visit their site and through Ebates you visit your favorite online retailers. Ebates tracks how much you spent at the retailer and gives you a cash back "rebate" of up to 25% of the purchase. You will receive a check once a quarter for your "rebate." Last quarter I received a check for over $100 from doing the majority of my online shopping for my business and home through Ebates. Old Navy offers a 3% cash back rebate through Ebates - it's like saving 3% on your purchase!

2. Google for coupons. The Gap family of stores (Old Navy, Banana, Gap, Piperlime) aren't big on doling out the coupons, but if there is one in the stratosphere, you can bet it's being discussed online. I enter a company's name and "CODE" into the search engine and spend a couple minutes searching for a decent and valid promotional code or coupon. One site I end up visiting time and time again is RetailMeNot.com. This site is well organized, you don't have to click to retailer through their site, and users rate how successful different codes have been for them. It's a great site to bookmark for an easy promo code search.

Some of my favorite looks that are part of this Old Navy sale:
Women:
Perfect Fit Tee - I adore these tees. They are a comfy knit that holds its shape pretty well, and they always have a great variety of colors. Best yet - I find the white to usually be opaque enough to hide a tee shirt bra, and the black takes many many washings before it starts to fade. $7.46 each if you purchase two or more.

Organza Puff-Sleeve Dress - I have had years of success with this silhouette from Old Navy. In linen, matte jersey, cotton or poly silk, it's that little shift with a pop of whimy (this one is with the sleeves) that can be tossed on last-minute for a date, drinks with the gals, a holiday party and more. Tis the season for holiday parties, and no better time to prepare than when you can find a cute little number for less than $15. Black or Bordeaux, this dress can be paired with strappy heels or classic pumps, a long sparkly chain or simple stud earrings and be quite the head-turner!

Women's Plus:
Perfect Scoop-Neck Tees - I an such a fan of this cut of tee shirt. It's basic enough to work with blazers or yoga pants, has a feminine silhouette that flatters curves and lengthens the neck, but is conservative enough to be wearable in any situation. If you purchase two or more, they are only $7.46 each. Careful, these are 100% cotton so they should be hung to dry or purchase a size knowing it very well may shrink up to a half a size after laundering.

Color-Block Tank - I love this top in the Monaco Plum - a style that can work year round, with jeans or black trousers. The back is feminine and unexpected and the color combination is refreshing without being gaudy. Only $9.99, an awesome price for a nice happy hour top!

Maternity:
Classic Ribbed Turtleneck - what a great wardrobe staple. Pair with jeans or work trousers for a comfy, warm and classic look. The sweater is only 60% cotton so it should retain its shape and color through the season. Two for $14.92 - go with chic black, and consider the color Baby Spinach - an unexpected hue that looks amazing with denim, ivory, camel, navy and eggplant.

Pleated Empire Waist Dress - A soft jersey with a hint of Lycra and sheen, this dress can be worn with a cardigan to work, with slingbacks to a wedding or even your shower, and for the price can be a great lounge dress for weekends at home. I like the colors Dark Night and Deep Chocolate because they are colors that can work through the seasons well, dress up or down, and I find the contrast color band on the other dresses to be a bit more casual. The Jade is also nice, but might not work with all skintones.

Maternity Nursing Camis - I ordered one of these and was pleased that it could be unhooked with one hand and had a nice shape, length and quality of knit. However it is a relatively traditionally shaped and sized shelf bra inside - best left to those who are smaller busted than I. At the price of two for $14.92, you can't find a better deal anywhere. Wear them now as a basic cami under clothes, and have them at the ready post-baby for easy nursing, comfort and style!]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:17:00 +0000 navy navy sale color empire waist dress dress color combination navy offers contrast color band easy promo code Old Navy's $14.92 Sale <![CDATA[Copy her look: Rebecca Romijn]]> http://fashionratty.com/article/7c646f3ddf9a982de4aaa981e4e1f2af http://fashionratty.com/article/7c646f3ddf9a982de4aaa981e4e1f2af Ugly Betty star Rebecca Romijn keeps her look hip and fresh in this colorful tunic top paired with a cropped trapeze jacket.

Romijn is expecting fraternal twins in January with her husband, actor Jerry O’Connell.

Copy her look with the Sweet Pea 9 by Stacy Frati Maternity Mesh Tunic from Nordstrom. This coloful top features a flattering v-neck cut with a double-layered design that perfectly flatters your bump.

A cropped trapeze jacket is a great way for pregnant mamas to keep warm. It can be layered over dresses for a dressed-up look or shirts and jeans for a casual look. Because of the cropped cut, you can easily get away with buying a non-maternity jacket which means you can wear this way beyond pregnancy.

The Women’s Stretch Ponte Pleated Jacket ($39.50) from Old Navy is a fabulous find! The thick ponte knit gives this jacket a look that can be worn to the office or dressed down for a day of shopping at the mall.

We had to take a second look at these photos of Jessica Simpson - at first glance we thought it was Britney Spears.  Greasy hair and what looks like a bad weave - what?  It could be Britney - before she got her act together!

For the record, I hate to be bashing the Britster because she has come such a long way.  Where is Jessica’s hair guru Ken Paves?  We can’t imagine he would have approved Jessica being seen in public like this.  He must have been working on Eva Longoria.

Simpson and her old assistant CaCee Cobb were leaving Madeo when they were mobbed by the paparazzi yesterday.  They both look like they could use a little help in the hair department.

It is possible that it isn’t a weave and that she just took an egg beater to it.  What’s with the duck lips…did she get a little work done again?

Check out the photo gallery below.
