One thing that always seems to instill a little hope within me is seeing American Idol alumni actually making something of their temporary fame. It makes me think, "wow, maybe reality TV really does serve a purpose!" And what's not to like about a down-to-earth gal from Arizona with a powerhouse voice making awesome music and managing to stay classy while doing it ('cause apparently that's rare)? Jordin Sparks may only be 19, but she's already making waves with her second studio album "Battlefield" and even has a few pre-AI modeling credits under her belt. But just because the girl has gospel roots and is most known for ballads like "Tattoo" and "No Air" with Chris Brown, it doesn't mean she can't go out and have a little fun. In her latest video, "S.O.S. (Let The Music Play)," Jordin shows off her sexy side... and exposes a backstabbing boyfriend while she's at it! I recommend leaving the chain acrylic nails out of your outfit (how the heck does she text with those things on?), but you can look dance floor-ready with a shimmering sequin dress and embellished black heels like Jordin's.

With a bun in the oven, an expecting mom, exhausted with eating, breathing and living for two also has to dress for two! Someone expecting, whether they've been a mother before or not, should definitely be on your list this Mother's Day! Clothing options for a beloved pregnant pal may be a touchy subject, given the fact that she may no longer fit into her favorite pair of jeans -- and she's probably dreading having to dress in time-old maternity clothes that more resemble the looks of hospital-gown smocks and potato sacks. Give the gift of style with some of the latest trends in maternity clothes, many of which fit right in with standard women's wear styles already! If you think maternity clothes shopping is slim-pickings, think again: there are options galore -- even designer!
