stores share the stage with national and international ones. Each month TFG will introduce

Meli Meli Skirt





1. The Skirt

Deanna Burdick, owner of the so cool Baby Dooda in Cincinnati, OH, loves this sweet skirt.

"Meli Meli would have to be one of my favorite designers out there. Their ruffled layered cake skirt has done amazingly well this season—and this is just a teaser of what's to come. The quality of design and the use of fabrics are second-to-none. My daughter will definitely have this collection in her closet."

2. The Sweater
Jennifer Strom Simonte, owner of celebrity favorite Belly Dance Maternity in New York and Chicago, loves this cool cardigan.

"This fall, we are loving the long cardigan by Olian. In solids, stripes and marled wool, these sweaters are fashionable and versatile. Pair it with denim and it's a stylish silhouette for any expecting mom. Pair it with black pants for a casual work look. You can even throw it on as an alternative to a coat on chilly days."

Olian Sweater

Personalized Necklace

3. The Necklace

Dana Schramm, owner of the mommy chic Bellies n' Babies in Danville, California, loves this sentimental yet stylish necklace.

"An item we can't live without is our favorite personalized necklace. Moms usually get their kids names engraved—sometimes they do their husbands, too. The necklaces are done in sterling silver and also come in charm bracelets. Simple but special, they are always a hit.
$50 for the first tag, $14 for each additional, Bellies n' Babies, 166 E. Prospect Avenue Danville CA

4. The Jacket
Antoinette Wisniewski, owner of tried-and-trendy Antoinette Gabrielle in Collingswood, NJ, loves this stylized jacket.

"This Nanette Lepore black tweed flounce jacket holds all the fall trends from its bell sleeves to its high collar—and it doesn't sacrifice on fit. The front and back of the jacket hug closely to the body and the bottom flare starts at the perfect point on the waist, giving you the illusion of a leaner silhouette. Great for the office with a pencil skirt or dark denim for a casual evening on the town."

Nanete Lepore Jacket

Ture Religion Jeans



5. The Jeans
Blair, of the fashion-packed Emily Grace in Rockville, Maryland, loves these flattering True Religion Big T in Urban Cowboy jeans.

“We love the Joey style because of the twisted side seam, flared leg and flap pockets in the back. We also love this wash because it's super soft and has big T contrast stitching in navy. This is great jean for the trendy on-the-go mom.”
