Angelina's tattoos are growing, geeky


Angelina is a sucker for tattoos. Apparently, she's got at least 13 known tatts -- not including the couple that she's had removed -- like the "Billy Bob" tattoo on her left shoulder. If any of you have been stumped by the weird mess of letters and numbers occupying the real estate that used to belong to Thornton, they're not hieroglyphics. They're actually a little nerdier/cooler than that.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, they're the map coordinates of where each of her four children were born -- you know latitude, longitude, minutes, all that junk. Apparently, geotagging geeks the world over are all excited about Jolie inking 2 more coordinates on her shoulder so they can look them up on Google Earth.

Angelina Jolie's having twins and she STILL looks great



The 61st Cannes Film Festival is underway, and a very pregnant Angelina Jolie is on hand to promote her new animated flick, Kung Fu Panda. And, while she didn't give too much away about the film in an interview with co-star Jack Black, another secret was revealed, or, rather, confirmed -- she and Brad Pitt are expecting twins. To Angie's credit, she reacted gracefully to Jack spilling the baby beans -- check out the video here.

But hey, this is a style blog, so let's talk about how she looked (besides being pregnant), shall we?

Kate Quinn Organics wants to wrap your baby in luxury


Seattle based Kate Quinn Organics, previously known as Earth Organic Baby Basics, is a parent's dream. That is assuming said parent wants "the softest, most natural materials" for their baby's comfort, and "the highest quality design and construction, and most importantly, the hope of a cleaner, kinder earth." If the parent wants all that, and you know that they do, then they can't go wrong with Kate Quinn.

The designs are created using "simple, elegant lines" and are available in nature-inspired hues to highlight the natural beauty of a child.

Jennifer Lopez spends $2.6 million on earrings


You know how the cool thing to do if you're a celebrity is to get paid bajillions for your baby's pictures and then donate all the money to charity? Well, that's not cool enough for Jennifer Lopez.

Ever the diva, miss thang expected her hubby, Mark Anthony, to lay down a serious amount of cash money in order to prove his love after the birth of their twins. Fortunately, People magazine paid them $6 million dollars for the rights to their baby pictures so Mr. Lopez was able to afford the $2.6 million dollar earrings that Jennifer had her eyes on.

Celeb moms are loving Jennifer Meyer Jewelry


What better way to show the world your love for your little one than with a sweet initial pendant? Celebrity moms like Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, and Courteney Cox are all sporting the Jennifer Meyer Pendant Necklaces with the initial of their newest additions.

The pendants are made of 18k yellow gold and encrusted with diamonds in a chosen initial. And, as cute as they are, there's a reason you see them on celebrities and not on the moms in playgroup -- they cost $1250 each.

Even if you don't have a little one of your own (or if you're just not digging these particular pendants), she has loads of other options, but all are in the upper price ranges.

Stylish sunglasses for spring: Kids and dogs

Adults aren't the only ones who need to protect their eyes from the sun -- little ones need that protection, too. And, just because your little one is a little furry (or a lot) and walks on all fours (and always will), that doesn't mean they can't get in on some stylin' sunglasses, too.

Think about it -- if you're outside, chances are they're outside, too. Right? So why not protect their eyes and give them some hot accessories in the process? Check out the gallery for the hottest styles for the small and/or furry ones in your life.

Indie Designer Interviews: Apple Blossom Prints

I'm a big fan of all of the amazing independent designers out there. In an effort to get inside the mind of the indie designer and find out just what makes all of these creative types tick, I present to you an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews.

Spring means babies, right? What better way to announce the birth of your new bundle of joy than with a one-of-a-kind custom photo birth announcement? That's just the sort of thing that today's featured designer Jennifer Hickey creates at her company, Apple Blossom Prints.

Tell us a little more about what your company does. Apple Blossom Prints is a photo announcement, card and invitation company specializing in traditional, whimsical and modern photo birth announcements, holiday cards and other photo stationary. My designs capture the innocence of new baby and the whimsy of childhood. All of the designs are all fully customizable and range from the simple and bold to ornate and elegant. At Apple Blossom Prints the design options are as endless as the customer's style, taste and imagination. I create the designs using bright colors, bold prints, a little bit of whimsy and a touch of tradition. I like color combinations to be upbeat and unique. Our photo cards are offered in a variety of printing choices including archival quality photo paper or heavy weight cardstock in glossy, matte or pearl/metallic finishes. Full color back-side printing offers even more design possibilities on cardstock photo cards.

Soon-to-be parents patiently wait 9 long months to see their baby's face. At Apple Blossom Prints, I want baby's introduction to family and friends to be just as memorable and beautiful as the first time they looked into those eyes. Apple Blossom Prints offers playfully simple ways to capture baby's firsts – from the first yawn to the first holiday.

The photo card process: Customers place all orders via the website where they select a design. Customers then submit photos and within 1-2 business days receive a photo card proof. At Apple Blossom Prints no change is too small. The photo card will go through as many revisions as necessary until the perfect design is achieved. Once the proof is approved the order ships with 4-5 business days. At Apple Blossom Prints customer satisfaction is priority and no order is complete until the customer is 100% satisfied the design is perfect.

Bling, bling baby

Aristabrat Bling Pacifiers
Now I am no expert when it comes to babies, heck I don't even really like babies all that much, but I do know that paying $120 for a pacifier is too much. Aren't those things supposed to be like $2.99 for a pack of 3? Well if you have a spoiled rotten baby you will pay $120 for one pacifier, not a pack of 3.

Right now at Shop Intuition you can purchase your baby a Swarovski adorned pacifier by Aristocrat. This fancy teething toy is 100% baby safe -- no crystals were lost even after boiling. Sure, no crystals were lost but I can promise you that after a week the $120 pacifier will be long gone after baby Johnny spits it out.

So I have to ask, would you spend $120 on a teething toy for your little bundle of joy?

Tom Ford is going to procreate in 2008!

Tom Ford is going to procreate in 2008. His partner Richard Buckley has been resisting the idea of fatherhood. But, it looks like Tom has finally talked him into it.

In a new interview with Fantastic Man, he talks about wanting to have a baby saying, "It will be biologically mine. I mean, I'm a lot younger. If things follow their natural order he'll [Richard] probably leave the planet ahead of me and I can't not have had something I've wanted forever. I've always wanted kids. I don't want to get to 75 years old and just have made a lot of dresses, done some houses."

And of course, with Tom there's never a dull moment. He kept the interview interesting speaking out on other topics like genitalia too, "I don't find the human body offensive. I don't find a guy's cock or a woman's vagina offensive; in fact, I find them beautiful. I would put them on an ad with a perfume bottle if I could get away with it."

I wish he would just do it. Wouldn't that be a sight to see? Can you imagine the women in department stores trying to hawk Eau de Vajayjay to the old ladies shopping?

Also touched upon -- Tom doesn't think Parisian men dress well. He had sex with girls at 14 before he knew which side he really played for. And he won't retire until he drops dead.

Still want more Tom? Read the full interview at Fashion Week Daily.

Paris Hilton wears Benji Madden's line

Paris Hilton + Benji Madden = rebound sex true love forever. You know things are getting serious when Paris starts wearing somebody's clothing line. These days every time we see her she's decked out from head to toe in DCMA Collective, the line owned by Joel and Benji Madden.

Just this week Paris was spotted out walking around, making a point of shopping at Kitson, the clothing store where celebrities go to buy cute clothes be photographed by the paparazzi. She was holding Benji's hand -- in Hollywood you don't do that unless you're really mean business. And more importantly, she was wearing his line. If holding hands means you're a heavy item, then wearing the fugly clothes that your significant other has designed is basically like being engaged.

Can you imagine if these two got married? Really, I'm pretty sure Paris just wants to one up Nicole. But since Nicole already has a baby with one Madden twin, the only way Paris could best her would be to give birth to at least triplets.

Browse through the gallery to see what other DCMA clothes we'll probably see on Miss Hilton in the near future.

Clothes for JLo's twins

For J Lo's babies!For what seems like a thousand years, the Internets are all abuzz with news that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant (four months pregnant, in fact). While her publicists keep denying the obvious, the singer's mom apparently can't keep a secret -- at all -- recently telling gossip mags that her daughter is having twins. Hooray!

In celebration of J Lo's impending pair of offspring, here's some fun stuff from Be The Tees that she can use once the little ones arrive.

The I Love My Twin Brother or I Love My Twin Sister tops aren't exactly style-central, so I highly discourage any adults from wearing these. However, they'd be freakin' adorable on a pair of babies.

And, after she finally decides to validate the rumors, Jennifer can proudly declare to the world that "I'm Not Fat, I'm Pregnant!" with this amusing top, also from Be The Tee. Again, not the coolest-looking thing I've ever seen, but being pregnant (or a child) is a great excuse to make all sorts of unfortunate fashion choices you otherwise wouldn't be able to get away with.

For the modern children's room

Cute Kids LightsFor the hipster parents among you, working hard to raise your self-aware yet self-assured, eco-conscious, TV-free vegetarian child in an environment filled with ironic onesies, good design and old Pixies albums, here's some lights you might like.

Contemporary Heaven has tons of cute little critters to illuminate Apple, Oak, Shiloh or Ezra's room, including Ruby the Caterpillar Pendant Light (pictured at right), and, my personal favorite, the Sky Ceiling Light.

They're not exactly inexpensive, and I have a feeling your kid won't care one way or the other, but at least it's not Dora the Explorer, or something fashioned after those hideous little Bratz dolls.

Cost of everything, value of nothing

New born babies might be great additions to your life, but they come at a cost. Diapers, food, child care, clothes, baby furniture, accessories and that doesn't even get your through the terrible twos. But what about the non-monetary costs of parenting?

A poll of 500 mothers and fathers in the UK concluded that on average parents lost around 90 minutes of sleep each night. Ninety minutes each night for a week basically adds up to a full night of sleep lost every seven days. Multiply that number by a year and the study concluded that parents lost a full two months worth of sleep.

So the next time you're invited to a baby shower and can't figure out what to take as a gift, you might consider a subscription to a coffee of the month club. And if it raises eyebrows, just tell them that you're thinking ahead.

Simple Me for the Stylishly Expectant

french terry sweatshirt for pregnantI am now highly sensitive to all things baby, kids, and maternity, even though I am nowhere near having kids of my own. With a baby niece nearby, and another sister who is very pregnant within calling distance, I am totally aware of how difficult it is to find good clothes for expecting Moms.

Thanks to the folks over at Simple Me boutique, you can feel somewhat comfortably stylish, even if you're, as my sister says, as "big as a house." Sure, you can putz around in faded, ratty sweatpants and your husband's double ex-ell Hanes Beefy tee, but why would you when you can wear something as cute as this short-sleeved French terry sweatshirt? Long enough to cover your belly, and even long enough to go over your butt so you can throw it on over the ultimate comfot, a pair of soft leggings.

The French terry sweatshirt comes in over a dozen colors and costs $59.95 at Simple Me.
