Jessica Alba: Being a Mom Has Changed My Style

Image
Jessica Alba knows the ease of slipping into a LBD , but the actress admits that motherhood has caused her to rethink her wardrobe choices -- but not for the post-pregnancy reasons fans may suspect. PHOTOS: Hollywood's most impressive post-baby bodies "I didn't use to wear a lot of color. I guess I've been more adventurous with my style and clothes since I've become a mother," Alba, mom to Honor Marie , 3, and Haven, 6 months, tells March's Los Angeles Confidential magazine. "When I was younger, I was really uncomfortable in dresses and high heels. Over the years, I've embraced a more feminine side." PHOTOS: Jessica's chic bump style Without a doubt, Alba, 30, (married to Cash Warren ), is consistently on-trend from rocking sky-high heels during her third trimester to stepping out in this vibrant Michael Kors sheath during New York Fashion Week earlier this month.

Jessica Alba Jessica Alba insists her life isn't perfect. The 30-year-old actress constantly feels guilty that she isn't able to spend enough time with her daughters Honor, four, and six-month-old Haven - her kids with husband Cash Warren - as she would like to. She said: "It's not perfect. I'm constantly feeling I should be spending more time at home. I installed a kids' corner in the office, and the baby is really easy right now. But every day is evolving and changing. If I'm not going to be home all day, I know I'll be home at night." The brunette beauty also admitted becoming a mother has finally made her feel completely comfortable in her own skin. She explained in an interview with LA Confidential magazine: "I feel like I've finally come into my own and become the person I always should have been, or that I always wanted to be.

Jessica Alba is a strict mother

Home > News > hollywood-news Los Angeles, Feb 26 : Actress Jessica Alba says she is a strict mother for her daughters, unlike her "cool" and "laid back" parents. "I did have that dreaded moment when my daughter decided that every answer I gave her wasn't a good one and she kept saying, 'But why mommy? But why mommy?', and I was like, 'Because I said so'. And I thought, 'Oh God, I'm that mum, I'm my mum'," Alba, who has two daughters Honor, three, and six-month-old Haven, said at "Jimmy Kimmel Live". "My parents did use 'because I said so' and they were not strict. They were fun and cool and laid back and a way better time than me," she added. Alba admits she was such a "super bad" child she once took her dad's car and drove to a fast food restaurant at the age of 14, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Jessica Alba: Why I Started The Honest Company

Becoming a mom has been the most profound, life-changing experience and I'll never look at the world the same. Having a child made me so much more aware of the dangers and risks all around my new baby; it seemed like overnight an instinct to protect kicked in. For decades, parents have been taking precautions to reduce dangers around their children by using car seats, child gates, outlet covers and more. But today there are many invisible risks that most parents aren't aware of -- risks from everyday products we buy for our homes and children. When I was pregnant with my daughter, Honor, I read Christopher Gavigan's book, Healthy Child Healthy World: Creating a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Home . This book served as my handbook on toxic chemicals in products and their link to illnesses. I learned that our current chemical regulatory system is doing an abysmal job of protecting us, the consumers. Simply put, manufacturers are allowed to use questionable, untested, toxic chemical...

The 30-year-old actress - who has two daughters, Honor, three, and six-month-old Haven, with husband Cash Warren - admits she is harder on her kids than her "cool and laid back" mum Catherine and dad Mark Alba were for her. She said: "I did have that dreaded moment when my daughter decided that every answer I gave her wasn't a good one and she kept saying, 'But why mommy? But why mommy?', and I was like, 'Because I said so'. And I thought, 'Oh God, I'm that mum, I'm my mum'. "My parents did use 'because I said so' and they were not strict.

Steal Her Style: Jessica Alba's Ann Taylor Sweater

Image
Jessica Alba (Pacific Coast News, Ann Taylor) Jessica Alba seems to have shelved her love of earthy neutrals, at least momentarily, in favor of bright pops of color. The mother of two was recently spotted getting pampered at an NYC nail salon wearing canary yellow skinny jeans (she also has a pair in lime green ). She played up her pastel pants with this nautical-striped sweater featuring the same hue. While Jessica may look fabulous in just about anything, her classic top is universally flattering and better still, costs less than $80.

Hot or Not? Jessica Albas Husband and Other Male Celebrities Who Wear Nail Polish

Image
Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren took togetherness to the limit last week when both showed up at New York Fashion Week with fancy fingernails . The "Valentines Day" actress sported cherry red polish on her nails , while the man whom daughters Honor and Haven call "Daddy" opted for bright pink varnish and a metallic gold pinky nail. It's enough to make John Wayne fall off his horse. While gender boundaries have widened in recent years, especially among trend-setting celebs, nail polish has traditionally been worn by only women. In fact, one of the major perks of being a man is having a low-maintenance beauty routine. How else could a minimalist like Simon Cowell get away with wearing a white T-shirt and jeans each week while his female co-judges look like they just stepped off the cover of Vogue ? Perhaps most notable about Warren's choice to wear nail polish in public was not just the fact his nails were painted -- they were painted pink . Yet,...

Jessica Alba Lawsuit Vs. Pregnancy Weight Loss Product Raises Insurance Question

Image
Jason Merritt/Getty Images The makers of a post-pregnancy product that supposedly shrinks waists is continuing to fend off a $1 million lawsuit by actress Jessica Alba , who claims her name and likness was misappropriated to push sales of the undergarment. The defendant in the lawsuit is The Caden Companies, which on Friday sued its own insurer for refusing to indemnify it against Alba's lawsuit. The newest legal action continues an unfolding controversy over whether general insurance policies covering "advertising injuries" should cover claims made on the "publicity rights" front. This is no small issue. Over the past few years, lawsuits from celebrities or their estates alleging the misappropriation of names, images, voices, and more, have skyrocketed.

Style Staples: Jessica Alba's 4 Go-To Pieces

Jessica Alba (Pacific Coast News, FameFlynet Pictures, Bauer Griffin) It's been a while since we've seen her on the big screen, but Jessica Alba 's pitch perfect style keeps her on our radar. It's not just her unparalleled bone structure that helps her to look hot on the daily coffee run (although it certainly doesn't hurt), it's the way she takes comfortable classics and make them her own brand of California casual. 1. Scarves (Pacific Coast News, Bauer Griffin) It doesn't matter if it's hot or cold out, Jessica is probably wearing a scarf. While most of us use them to keep warm in the thick of winter, she uses them to add a little something extra to classic pieces, haphazardly tying them around her neck for an effortless air. 2. Standout Jackets (Bauer Griffin, Pacific Coast News) Outerwear isn't an afterthought for Jessica. Rather than toss on the same tired black jacket time and time again (we all have one), she picks toppers as interesting as t...
