Versatility is vital in the life of a new mom.  Juggling an infant and keeping family life on track is no easy feat!  Leading Lady may not have all of your multi-tasking, multi-purpose solutions, but we do have a fabulous one for breastfeeding moms this summer:  our azalea nursing chemise.  Made of cotton with a hint of spandex for a perfect fit, the chemise triples as a nightgown, a beach cover-up and a sundress. 

Partners and babies alike go nuts over the flattering style and easy nursing access of Leading Lady’s chemise.  At night, the azalea chemise is a comfortable, convenient and feminine sleepwear option, featuring a shelf bra for added support.  By day, it’s sleek. The brightly colored azalea chemise can make bringing baby to the beach a snap, with simple one-handed nursing clasps.  Or pair the azalea chemise with a lightweight cardigan, fun colorful sandals and a trendy bag, turning it into a casual dress for summer.

New moms know, three-in-one cannot be beat.  In celebration of breastfeeding, Leading Lady is supporting our friends at Best for Babes by donating $1 for every chemise sold in “Best for Babes Pink,”  a.k.a. azalea now through June 30th, 2012.  We hope you’ll check out Leading Lady’s azalea chemise for your summer sleepwear, beachwear and fashion-wear needs.  Join us on Facebook, Twitter and Google+, and let us know how you are wearing your chemise. 

Leading Lady loves Mother’s Day because, well, we love mothers!  We know that being a mom is just about the hardest job on the planet and that’s why we believe that moms deserve only the best.  And for new moms – whether pregnant or already celebrating the new little joy in your life – that can come in the form of comfort, support and style.

Wondering what to get your new mom friends, sisters or daughters or maybe even yourself this year for Mother’s Day?  A new nursing bra wardrobe, of course.   We recommend starting with a wardrobe of three nursing bras, which can be bought as early as the third trimester of pregnancy.  Stretchy leisure styles with some give-and-take, nursing camis and front-closure bras are a great option for the end of a pregnancy and early nursing days.  You can also select a stretchy sexy or flirty lace style because giving a new mom the gift of femininity is priceless.

You will have to determine her size, which you can do by asking her partner or engaging in conversation about bras.  Sometimes it is fun to be a secret agent!  Sizes fluctuate often during nursing so if the gifted bras don’t fit immediately, chances are they will very soon.

Happy Mother’s Day to all new mom Leading Ladies!

First Ever Celebrity Breastfeeding and Toxin-Free Living Event Recap:

Hollywood leading ladies Jenna Elfman, Kelly Preston and Laila Ali came together over the weekend to celebrate moms and moms-to-be, and educate them about raising healthy babies.  The first ever celebrity breastfeeding and toxin-free living event was held at Elfman’s home in Los Angeles to raise awareness for the not-for-profit organizations Best for Babes and Healthy Child Healthy World. The event was sponsored by Leading Lady nursing intimates and Ameda breast pumps and coordinated by celebrity event planner, Marley Majcher, The Party Goddess.

Elfman kicked off the gathering by describing how she attended a Healthy Child Party when she was pregnant with her first child and became aware of the importance of creating a non-toxic home. She then shared her own inspiring breastfeeding story from the struggle to breastfeed her first son, to her ability to donate her milk to a methamphetamine-addicted baby.

Preston, a child advocate and former spokesperson, then spoke about her passion for Healthy Child Healthy World, which helps educate parents across the world about toxin-free living, before confessing to being late because she was nursing her 16-month-old son, Ben.

Ali admitted that although she was normally a very private person, when it came to breastfeeding, she didn’t care what anyone thought—if her baby was hungry she was going to nurse—and emphasized her feeling that a parents’ responsibility is to create a non-toxic environment for their children.

Guests, including a glowing Vanessa Lachey, checked out lacy, stylish nursing bras by Leading Lady, learned about Ameda’s patented germ-free pump technology, browsed toxin-free products for their homes and children from eco-friendly brands, noshed on fare from Chef Ludo Lefevbre, and left with incredible Swag Bags full of donations from the generous sponsors, so heavy that guests had to have help carrying them to their cars.

Many other product lines generously participated as leading sponsors including, Moby Wrap, Motherlove, Cariboo, Seventh Generation, PumpEase, Fairhaven Health, Mamas and Papas, Stokke and HappyFamily.

Jenna Elfman, Kelly Preston & Laila Ali Host First-Ever Event to Celebrate Breastfeeding & Toxin-Free Living in Raising Healthy Children

April 14, 2012, Hollywood, CA

On April 14, 2012, actresses Jenna Elfman, Kelly Preston & former boxer Laila Ali, in partnership with non-profits Best for Babes and Healthy Child Healthy World, will host the first celebrity-driven event to raise awareness of the pivotal role that both breastfeeding and toxin-free living play in raising healthy children. “Education and awareness are the first steps. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something, and every action counts,” said hostess Jenna Elfman.

Presented by Leading Lady & Ameda, two companies that have supported breastfeeding moms for 70 years, the event is the first to introduce the breastfeeding cause and Best for Babes to expecting and new celebrity moms and Hollywood influencers. Best for Babes is the only mainstream nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness of and removing the barriers (The Breastfeeding Booby Traps™) that keep millions of mothers in the U.S. from achieving their personal breastfeeding goals. Together with Healthy Child Healthy World, which has successfully partnered with high profile stars to teach parents around the globe how to protect children from environmental toxins, Best for Babes, Jenna, Kelly and Laila hope that this event will encourage Hollywood to lend its reach and influence to the breastfeeding and toxin-free causes. Hollywood has been instrumental in raising awareness and bringing about change for many pressing health issues, from AIDS to Parkinson’s to breast cancer.

“Best for Babes is exceptionally grateful to Jenna, Kelly and Laila, and their outstanding event planning team for this opportunity to inspire and educate the influential Hollywood community,” said Bettina Forbes and Danielle Rigg of Best for Babes. “We thankfully acknowledge the leadership and support provided by Healthy Child Healthy World in mentoring Best for Babes, and we applaud them for their mission of empowering parents to protect children from harmful chemicals. Special thanks to Presenting Sponsors Leading Lady & Ameda, as well as our Leading and Contributing Sponsors, for making this event possible and for funding a new Best for Babes initiative to help moms and babies. Three cheers to top party planner The Party Goddess for bestowing her magic upon the event, and to all those who contributed to making it possible!”

The event, an afternoon tea, will be held on April 14th at the beautiful Hollywood home of actress and gracious hostess Jenna Elfman who is known for her impeccable style. Hostesses Jenna, Kelly and Laila and the event team have attended to every detail to deliver an experience that is as elegant as it is intimate, and as informative as it is inspiring. French Chef Ludo Lefebvre (Awarded Mobil 5-star, star of Top Chef Masters and Ludo Bites America) will demonstrate healthy snacks for moms and babies. Guests will have the opportunity to explore and learn about the best breastfeeding and non-toxic living practices, information and products through display stations located throughout the home. Topics include getting a good breastfeeding start, sustainable and toxin-free nursery furniture, managing milk supply, baby-wearing and gear for on-the-go, using natural cleaning products, natural and organic body care for babies and moms, natural diapering, and organic and healthy nutrition. Some of the host’s favorite breastfeeding & non-toxic products will be displayed.

For many women, “balance” is that goal just beyond grasp that seems so attainable on paper but just never seems to work out in actuality.  Do you know that feeling?  Rhonda not only knows it, she has a degree in it and has made it her life’s work to help women achieve personal balance.  This Leading Lady’s personal journey towards self-balance guided her from her modeling career into holistic health and nutrition.

Rhonda grew up on a farm near Calgary, Alberta Canada.  After her mother enrolled her in self-improvement courses at a modeling agency, Rhonda asked to take another series of classes and she slid right into the agency’s modeling school.  Rhonda did her first photo shoot at age 13, and by age 14 she won the YM Magazine high school cover girl contest.  Her career took off and she began traveling for modeling jobs during school breaks until she moved to Miami Beach when she turned 18.

After living in both Miami and New York for five years each, Rhonda finally settled in Los Angeles with her husband, Neal, who is a film producer.  She is represented by Ford Models.

Rhonda’s modeling career has taken to Australia, Europe, South Africa, South America, all over the US and around the world. While she has fond memories of the beautiful resorts she’s visited, from the tropical Mexican Rivera to the wine country in Napa Valley, Rhonda admits that modeling is not all luxury and glamour.  She often modeled bathing suits in a very icy ocean during winter climates and sported heavy jackets in the dead of the hot, humid Miami summer.

Rhonda has been featured in several commercials but does not consider herself much of an actress.  “I’m fine for a 30 second TV commercial,” she says, “but acting terrifies me.”  She says she loves her husband dearly but has no plans to be the next Leading Lady in one of his films.

Rhonda is, however, the Leading Lady of her own holistic health and nutrition company, Awareness Within.  After years of stressful dieting and traveling for her modeling career, Rhonda felt disconnected from her own body.  She knew she wanted children one day so she decided to make it a priority to reestablish balance in her body.  She began consulting health practitioners and doing her own research, and she ultimately learned over time how to restore the wellness she was seeking.  Rhonda’s personal discovery made her realize her passion for health, so she went to school to educate herself before starting the Awareness Within.

Rhonda’s holistic approach takes the whole person into account by examining their lifestyle in total.  This analysis includes inspecting the activities and relationships in someone’s life, which she calls primary foods, and the actual foods one consumes, known as secondary foods.  The tricky part is that every person is different and therefore their needs and means to balance are also unique, which is what she works with her clients to uncover and achieve based on individual goals.

One of the areas Rhonda focuses on is helping women who are trying to conceive by reconnecting self and body, finding the body’s natural rhythm and creating a safety zone for the body.  Rhonda’s goal is to help her clients “connect and listen to the body and find what feels right and loving.”  She works with her clients to figure out how different foods affect them in order to establish nutritional safety as well.

Rhonda’s Leading Lady experience has been the combination of two very important aspects of her life:  modeling and helping women improve themselves.  She connected with Leading Lady through her fellow model friend Becky.  Rhonda was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and attractive nursing bras could be.  “I didn’t know you could get really pretty maternity and nursing bras,” she says.  While she is not yet a mother, Rhonda is very much looking forward to having children in the future.  And luckily she has a Leading Lady family waiting for her with open arms when she does.

Her distinctive red hair is hard to miss.  And her smile just makes you want to try on exactly what she’s wearing.  These are just a few reasons why she makes a perfect Leading Lady.

Born and raised in the outskirts of Dallas, Leading Lady Becky has several full time jobs in addition to a successful modeling career.  First and foremost she is a mom, which we all know is a job-and-a-half.  She has two beautiful, creative children:  Daughter Sydney, age 7, and son Jax, age 2.  Sydney and Jax travel with Becky for modeling shoots a couple times a year and even do some modeling along with mom.

Becky finds that one of the greatest rewards of motherhood is the friendship she has with her children.  “I feel like I always have friends,” she says.  “We create our own fun and there is always someone to do things with.”

One of their favorite activities to do together is to act out stories from children’s books. “The kids surprise me every day with their personalities,” Becky says.  “They are so funny and smart.  I can’t believe how quickly they pick everything up.”

All of Becky’s additional jobs have stemmed from modeling or motherhood…or both.  Becky is a fitness instructor, teaching seven or eight classes a week ranging from step aerobics and kickboxing, to muscle building and boot camps.  She loves to work out and, of course, her classes keep her in shape for modeling.  Becky taught classes through her 8^th month of both of her pregnancies and she completed full workouts the day she went into labor with each of her kids (which was in her 42^nd week for both times).

Becky and her husband Trey, who is a photographer and fellow model, also recently started a “supermodel party” business for young girls’ birthday parties where they provide professional hair and makeup services, hold a photo shoot and host a runway show.  Each girl takes home a photo of herself on the cover of a magazine as a keepsake.

Becky connected with Leading Lady around seven years ago and has been modeling our bras ever since.  She recollects meeting the late Mr. Alfred Corrado, Leading Lady’s second generation owner, at a shoot once and admired his enthusiasm and dedication.  “He was a lovely man who truly loved his business,” she says.  Becky chuckles remembering how he brought ice cream to one of their shoots, not realizing that wasn’t exactly the menus that models prefer during a lingerie shoot.

And Becky does not only model Leading Lady bras, she also wore them when nursing both Sydney and Jax.  She always knew she wanted to breastfeed her children and had to work extra hard to maintain her milk supply while balancing her modeling career, which she returned to just two weeks after giving birth.  “Leading Lady’s nursing bras were a lifesaver,” she says.  She particularly enjoyed the nursing chemise and nursing tanks, which she still wears today.

Leading Lady nursing bras are the gift that Becky always gives at a baby shower and constantly recommends them to her nursing friends.  And now Becky has passed the torch on to her sister who is a new mom and a new Leading Lady.

As the New Year is upon us, many of our resolutions are getting in shape.   If you’re pregnant, moderate exercise is considered acceptable and healthy, especially if it was part of your routine pre-conception.  If you’ve recently had a baby, you may feel you have been dealt a double whammy between trying to lose the baby weight and having just eaten your way through the holidays.  The thought of going to the gym may sound worse than labor pains!

Not to worry — We’ve put together a quick and easy guide to help you get started:

Clear it with your physician! Whether you are pregnant or nursing, getting your doc’s approval is essential before hitting the gym!

• Find a fitness regime that works for you: Consider your interests, your schedule and your fitness level.
• Listen to your body: Ensure you are not over-exerting yourself by taking frequent breaks and not get over-heated.
• Stay hydrated: Water can aid in reducing headaches, cramps and nausea during pregnancy. H20 is essential for nursing mamas as well – water it is the key component of breast milk, so moms should make sure to replenish after a workout.
• Stay supported: Make sure you have a great fitness bra. Leading Lady has expectant and new moms covered with excellently fitted, comfortable and supportive bras for light and moderate exercise.

For walking, biking and lifting weights, try Leading Lady’s Sport Wirefree Nursing Bra with cushioned straps and made from supportive yet stretch fabrics to ensure the bra moves with your body during activity.

For yoga and stretching, try Leading Lady’s Bralette or our Cotton Wirefree Front Closure Bra, both offering extreme comfort and a bit of style to your light workout.

Your workouts will differ slightly if you are a mom-to-be, or if you are breastfeeding.

If you’re pregnant, try:

• Low impact: walking, swimming, pre-natal yoga, stretching, dancing, low impact aerobics and light weight training may be good choices for you.
• Start slowly: tailor your exercise program and never workout to the point of exhaustion or breathlessness.
• Avoid contact sports: any activity where your footing may be unstable should be skipped, and be cautious when lying on your back.

If you’re nursing, try to:

• Take it lightly: once your doctor gives you the green light, start with light exercise and build your way back up to your pre-baby fitness level.
• Manage your expectations: Your body has just been through nine months of intense changes, so don’t expect your flat tummy and your curvaceous muscles to return overnight.
• Go slow: losing weight too quickly can release toxins into the bloodstream, which will get into your milk supply.
• Bond & burn calories: breastfeeding assists weight loss because your body turns stored fat into milk.

Remember, working out can and should be fun.  If you choose to see it as a hobby and investment in your health, your mind will help you power through the rest.  Enjoy and good luck!

That’s right, ladies – AWARDS’ SEASON is upon us. We can’t wait to get swept up in glitz and glamour as we celebrate Hollywood’s biggest stars and best performances.

Those of us seriously dedicated to style will also be celebrating the hair, the jewels, the shoes, the handbags and of course – the dresses.  As we head into the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards and the Oscars, we’re taking a look back at some of our favorite Leading Ladies’ best looks. And naturally, starting from the intimates out to create the ideal silhouette, should you be inclined to try their looks on for yourself!

Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer blew critics and audiences away in this fall’s The Help, scoring both Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for her stellar performance.  Octavia chooses sleek and interesting lines to compliment her figure, often drawing extra attention to her curves with a stylish belt.  She rocked a grey pleated dress with bell sleeves at the recent Women in Entertainment Breakfast, which would be complemented by Leading Lady’s molded padded seamless underwire full figure bra in nude.  If you prefer the stunning sheer black floor-length gown with the scalloped neckline she wore to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Governor’s Awards Dinner last November, Leading Lady’s scalloped lace underwire bra would match just perfectly.

Sofia Vergara

Her accent and antics have made the character Gloria a favorite among “Modern Family” fans, but Sofia Vergara’s curves may be just as popular as her comedy.  Case-in-point: this super flirty black lace overlay dress she wore to CNN’s “Heroes.” Ay-yay-yay! We would definitely work this look with Leading Lady’s scalloped lace underwire bra, which stays on trend with a bit of sheer lace and supports curves.  And for this low cut royal blue sweater she wore on EXTRA, we suggest Leading Lady’s front closure racer back bra.  We can’t wait to see what this Leading Lady wears on the red carpet as a nominee — Congratulations to Sofia for her Golden Globe and SAG Awards nominations!

Tina Fey

Now a mommy for the second time, Tina’s new little daughter Penelope joins 5-year-old Alice in having one of the funniest moms on the planet.  With countless Golden Globe and SAG nominations and wins already under her belt, Tina is back for more this Awards’ Season. Ms. Fey is a Globe and SAG nominee for the always hilarious “30 Rock.”  This fall, just five weeks after giving birth to Penelope, Tina chose clean lines and a gorgeous silhouette to dazzle at the 2011 Emmys. To replicate this hot mama’s look, we would recommend Leading Lady’s lace cup wirefree bra under an all-black ensemble. Should a little lace from your bra peek out, it will make your look even more flirtatious.  For a pop of color like the fitted pink dress Tina wore on the April 2011 InStyle cover, we would recommend Leading Lady’s molded seamless wirefree nursing bra for a smooth foundation.
