Simpson’s new line — which will be available at Destination Maternity, Motherhood Maternity and Macy’s stores this fall — includes “breezy, everyday pieces aimed at the modern mom-to-be who wants to maintain her fashion edge throughout her pregnancy,” according to a release.

Jessica Simpson Is Moisturizing ‘as Much as Possible’ in Pregnancy

She’s spent a lot of time perfecting her skin — thanks, Proactiv! — but in pregnancy, Jessica Simpson has been putting forth even more effort to keep it clear, balanced and free of stretch marks.

“My entire body is changing every single day,” she tells PEOPLE. “So I make it a point to moisturize as much as possible.”

The Fashion Star mentor is also battling hormonal changes with routine face washing. “I’m cleansing more in pregnancy than I ever have in my whole life,” she shares. A favorite product? “I love the BeautyMint cleanser because it has aloe in it, which keeps my skin hydrated.”

BeautyMint, one of Simpson’s new endeavors, is a site that offers customers customized product recommendations based on a “getting-to-know-your-skin” quiz. The questionnaire “really acts as a professional, helping you, guiding you through your skincare regimen,” Simpson told PEOPLE in November.

In the latest issue of ELLE, Jessica Simpson says going into design was a “natural transition” for her — and not just because she’s a savvy businesswoman.

“Every time I think I’m gonna be photographed, I wonder if somebody will see what I’m wearing, and if it’ll help ‘em put somethin’ together, maybe for school?” she reveals.

That drive to inspire is what pushes the star to create, both in the workroom and in her own life. “I always wonder if what I’m wearing will be something that people would compliment, or want to wear,” she continues. “I don’t ever get ready just for myself, ever.”

Simpson, whose collections of clothing and accessories have netted more than one billion dollars in sales, recently introduced earrings at Zales and a tween collection with her younger sister, Ashlee. And from the sounds of it, the ideas — and inspirations — keep on coming.

Nicole Richie on What Makes ‘Fashion Star’ Unique

Nicole Richie: My Style Has Changed

We obviously love fashion, but the shows thrown our way — Project Runway, 24 Hour Catwalk, The Fashion Show – can sometimes leave our heads spinning (and our DVRs overfilled!). So why should we watch the upcoming NBC show Fashion Star? What makes the series — hosted by Elle MacPherson and featuring mentors Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson and John Varvatos — that different than the rest?

“What makes the show so original is as America is watching the clothes go down the runway, they can order those clothes immediately online that night or go in the stores the next day and buy it,” Richie explains to FabSugar. “We’re talking about immediate fashion, accessible fashion, at an accessible price.”

Richie says she and her co-mentors — all heads of successful fashion lines — will err on the side of friendliness when critiquing the competing designers, too. “We are really leaving our personal opinions to ourselves,” she promises. “It’s about encouraging [the contestants] to go with their gut and know the business, and be fearless in the competition.” Reason enough to tune in? For sure!

Catch Fashion Star on March 13 at 9 p.m. EST on NBC. Tell us: Will you be watching?
