Maternity Fashion Controversy

I recently saw on the news that Forever 21 has launched a maternity line that's available online and in a few states...which don't happen to include any near me- [insert sad face here], and it's actually really cute.

But it's started some controversy saying that it's target audience is pregnant teens...

See CBS News article here.

Many parents have been quoted stating that it's not something they want to see in stores. However, my favorite quote though has to be this: "Based on the research I know, I don't think girls get pregnant so they can wear cute clothes," said Steven Kirn, executive director of the David F. Miller Retailing Education and Research Center at the University of Florida. (quote from here) And I have to agree!

So, what do you think? Personally I welcome any affordable maternity line that is actually cute and fits me right! I'm not a teen, I'm a married pregnant woman in my mid-20s and in my opinion this line is targeting my demographics :) And on that note, I'm going to order me this:

however I won't be wearing heels with it, kinda unrealistic for this pregnant gal! :)

Top 2 Tuesday

Top 2 Favorite perfumes/colognes/scents

This was really easy, I love my perfumes!  

Mine are:

Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture 

Legacy by Coach

Ironically both perfumes are very similar in scent but Viva La Juicy is a lot more fruity! Which is perfect for summertime :)

What's your signature scent?

Finally Friday!

This weeks Favorite Fridays topic is:

Healthy Snack

My favorite healthy snack is...

Hummus and Pita Chips :)

Specifically this flavor and these chips!

I also love carrots with dill veggie dip, but I'm not sure that's exactly healthy since the loads of sour cream that are in the dip, maybe if it's reduced fat it might be a little healthier.   What's your favorite healthy snack? Post about it and link up over at Jen's blog, A Girl in Pearls & A Boy with Toys   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
