There&amp;#039;s been so   much speculation, so it&amp;#039;s really exciting. We wish her the best for a safe pregnancy.&amp;quot; Jason Wu, meanwhile, was already planning baby outfits. &amp;quot;I just made baby clothes for girls for the Neiman Marcus Target event,&amp;quot; he noted, &amp;quot;so maybe if she has a little girl, she&amp;#039;ll put her in that.&amp;quot;  Wu added that he himself has already been an enthusiastic patron of his Target and Neiman Marcus holiday designs. &amp;quot;I bought so many of my ornaments, because I need like a hundred for my tree,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I have a big tree.&amp;quot; Phillip Lim had a different kind of holiday gift to look forward to: a bit of time off. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going to Vietnam with some friends for five days,&amp;quot; he shared. &amp;quot;[It&amp;#039;s my] first time taking off, actually, for the holidays.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
