We have always loved Halle Berry. We have blogged about her before. In fact, way back in the fall we had a blog post here about new or expectant moms that included the likes of Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie, who have both already given birth.
But at the time, Halle was being mum about her pregnancy, although we went on record as suspecting that it was true. She has always wanted to be a mom and the time seemed right.
Well take a look at this hot mama! OK, not quite a mama yet but she is due in just weeks and has looked positively glowing all through her pregnancy.
And did we mention that we love her style? In fact we love the bag she is carrying so much in this picture that we were inspired to make a more affordable version.
Urban Expressions Madea Bag - 52.20
Say hello to the Urban Expressions Faux Croc Print Madea Carry. Our version retails for just $58 (though you can get it cheaper right now during our Valentine's Day promotion).
Baghaus Extra Large Bryant Weekender - 58.00
May we also suggest this cute Extra Large Bryant Weekender for a diaper bag once the child is born? We think this will fit right in with Halle's style and compliments the Madea just a bit.

There was a time when studs were only for bikers and people who wanted to look like a biker. Black leather chock full of metal studs was very 'in' for awhile, until the studs got kinda scary, to the point where they could actually be dangerous, like this:
Luckily, not too many people find those fashionable and studs are back in again, in a safe and classy form.
Take for example, former Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland, who looks chic in this Burberry studded frock. Or you can go for the pricey studded designer purses like you see in the picture as well.
Baghaus studded ring hobo- $49.99
If you can't afford the expensive studded designer purse, you can always buy the Baghaus studded ring hobo inspired by designer Thomas Wylde. It has antique brass studs on black leatherette that matches well with jeans. At only $49.99 it is a studded treat that will last well past the fall fashion craze and is great for pairing with casual clothes.
We found a few other studded things that we really liked, too.
Manola Blahnik studded sandals.
This cute studded pink belt.
And even a studded toe ring, in Tibetan style no less!
There must be something in the water in Los Angeles, because several Hollywood starlets have turned up pregnant. There used to be a time when that meant very matronly clothes in only primary colors and flat shoes. Now, pregnant women are wearing designer and sometimes even custom maternity wear and heels (albeit no stilettos). Some of our favorites:
We think Nicole Richie looks like a cutie patootie here. Not only is she wearing something that clings to her belly as if she is proud, but she obviously also likes her new cleavage as well.
We are not as crazy about Salma Hayek's getup here. Since she is engaged to one of the higher-ups at Gucci, we have higher expectations for her.
We know Bridget Moynahan isn't pregnant anymore, but since she just gave birth two days ago, we though we would point out how beautiful this dress was just weeks before giving birth to her baby boy with ex-bf Tom Brady.
And what would a critique of pregnancy clothes be without a few rumored pregnancies that may or may not be confirmed soon:
We can't say for sure if Christina Aguilera is pregnant but she sure looks it here. Cute outfit, too.
We know big bags are in, but the pregnancy rumors have been swirling Halle Berry for weeks, so we gotta wonder if she is just following fashion trends or if she is actually expecting.
We are usually not one to toot our own horns (much) but once again, Baghaus has gained some fairly prominent national exposure. We were featured in the People magazine online StyleWatch. The StyleWatch section keeps you informed of the latest style trends of celebrities, whether they be greatness or gawd awful.
One of this week's entries is about the newest Gustto bag, which we actually blogged on just last week. The big Bacca satchel can be bought for a mere $760, or get it on sale for $100 off at Neiman Marcus! Still too rich for your budget blood? Ours, too which is why the Baghaus bag inspired by Gustto is only $52.99. We think it's a great price, and apparently so do the good folks at People's StyleWatch, who decided to link their readers to our page with the bags inspired by Gustto.
You can see the page about Halle Berry's Gustto love here along with the link to our Baghaus version of this chic tote.
Baghaus Gustto- 52.99!
With the featured segment on NBC's Today and some of the other media recognition we get, there is lots more traffic coming our way. But we couldn't do it without you, our loyal buyers and readers who have made us popular enough to get these mentions. Thanks from the bottom of our Baghaus Paddington tote!
