Ready to kick-start her day, expectant momma Jessica Simpson departed her New York City hotel this morning (November 30).

Showing off her oh-so-adorable baby bump, the 31-year-old accentuated her burgeoning belly in a gray long-sleeve maxi dress, furry knee-length sweater and black platform booties.

Just last night Ms Simpson and her fiance Eric Johnson stepped out for the 25th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards.

Surely one of the year's most fashionable soirees, the Big Apple event paid tribute to "top shoe designers, fashion brands, style stars, leading retailers, and industry icons."
