His Clandestine Industries line has a collection that recently hit Nordstrom, and Pete Wentz says one major inspiration is his new — and pregnant! — fiancee, Ashlee Simpson.”She is a good sounding board for me,” Wentz told PEOPLE on Thursday. “She’s really supportive and always positive but sometimes she’ll get me to rethink [things]. Like I’ll be like, ‘We should do a half-plaid, half-pastel hoodie!’ And she’ll be like, ‘I like it, but maybe you should do it as two separate hoodies.’ She’s good like that.” As for Ashlee’s new line at Wet Seal, Pete admits, “I haven’t really seen it [yet].” When asked what life is like not only as a fashion designer and musician, but also as a husband and father to be, Wentz sums up his feelings very simply: “I’m happy!”

She’s one of Hollywood’s most stylish moms, so Reese Witherspoon was sure to be there for the opening party for Poppy, a new children’s clothing boutique in Santa Monica opened by pals Jenny Belushi and Heather Whitney. Between bites of mac & cheese the actress dished to PEOPLE about all-things fashion. Reese reveals that in over-the-top L.A. it’s actually pretty difficult to find kids’ clothes that appeal to more traditional tastes — hence, her love for Poppy. “You’re not going to find a python print bikini for your baby here!” she laughs. “It’s the classic styles that are hard to find in L.A. It’s a lot of rock n’ roll T-shirts with skulls, which I think is a little morbid for a six-year-old!” And it looks like Reese’s fashion sense is genetic. “Ava loves to wear matching mom and daughter outfits,” she says. “I picked up little red peasant blouses for both of us that looks cool on me and cute on her. And my son loves everything orange! I already bought everything in the store that’s orange.” But no shopping sprees on Mother’s Day, at least. “Every year is different, of course, but there are always a lot of secret plans going on. But I know it’ll involve either dry toast with strawberry jelly or dry toast with orange jelly!” Sounds pretty sweet.
