    The Maxi Dress is my new style and fashion find for the summer.  I wear it to the pool, evening events and just lounging.  It was imperative that I find the right bra.  The straps are thin and the design of the dress is low plunge.  At first I almost rejected the style, then I found the perfect strapless to compliment.  Strapless is one of the best items a woman can own to take her wardrobe to another level.  I use the same strapless for my T-shirts.  By having a strap to attach, you have a multiple solution. The halter or low back is your friend.  Don’t forget, size is everything with a strapless bra.  Summer is a great time to check your fit and make sure your wearing the correct size bra.  Now there is a solution for A cups to J cups and beyond.  Show it off this summer girlfriend!

    The category of underwear for women has exploded!  Boy shorts, briefs, high cuts, thongs, and more.  I am simply amazed at how many pairs of underwear a woman could own if she wanted to have some for a whole month.

    You would never get bored, and the color choices are endless.  This summer, I am encouraging all my clients to do pretty underwear that is both comfortable and sexy.  Is it possible?  Absolutely!  If you love boy shorts then try stretch lace or cotton.  If you like a classic brief or high cut, then micro fiber is going to be your friend for both coolness in hot climates, and a comfortable stretch if you like full coverage in the rear.

    Because women tend to wear a lot more dresses this time of year, wearing colors and prints is easier.  Instead of basic black with a sun dress, try a fun print.

    Many women do not realize that pale pink is the new “nude”.  If you have a fair complexion, it’s a nice change from the ordinary choices we pull out of our drawer.

    What’s your choice?  Be adventurous this summer.

    New York Times Reports: Retailers Revive the Plus Size Market

    One of my friends forwarded me an article from the New York Times (Saturday, June 19, 2010) on a week long Fashion Week in New York targeted for Retailers with the purpose to buy more plus size fashions.  I absolutely loved the article and it truly resonated with my spirit and business.

    I am a champion for women of every size.  As a plus size diva myself, I applaud any manufacturer who provides women with options that make her feel beautiful and allow her to express her personal style regardless of size.  It is just a number, right?  In the bra fit world, the size issue has been resolved with designs for women from a D to K.  I remember my own journey of walking into a store to purchase a “G” and the stares and gasps were heard from the sales people.  As a D, I have a plethora of styles to choose from any day of the week, but I have not forgotten what it feels like to be the other woman.

    Now, I can personally service any client in this category and provide over 100 styles.  I find it inspiring that Lingerie companies got it together and developed sizes that fit for women with curves.  I guess the metaphor is true…“change begins on the inside first”.  Lingerie is an important connection to self, and besides with all those fabulous clothes coming down the pike based on the article, a woman will be able to wear anything including body conscious, trend, and designer.  In my opinion, shapewear will reign as the “Must Have Item” for women to embrace every trend.   How wonderful, intimate apparel and fashion have an exciting future together.

    Summer Essentials: Tube Tops and Convertible Bras

    The other day I was at the mall and saw a woman wearing a black sun dress that was stunning until I walked up to her closer and saw her bra straps.  I am sure we have all had wardrobe malfunctions and challenges.

    What’s a woman to do?  We as women should always be thinking about arming ourselves with summer wardrobe solutions that empower us to live life to the fullest.   I am certain that the woman I noticed only wanted to wear her beautiful dress, but was not equipped with the right undergarments. I believe in solutions, not problems, so my recommendation for the black dress diva would have been a bra that allows you to take off the straps and do a clear strap. The other option, and a big come back trend is the tube top.  The tube top can be a bra or an entire camisole that provides a shapewear solution as well.  I love this!

    One of the advantages of wearing the tube top is that it can be worn underneath a jacket or shrug for another wardrobe solution.  Anytime you can get two for one, it’s a score. A tube top bra in color is another fashion solution for when the dress is too low.  If you had a print dress and wanted to pop color underneath, the bra would appear to be a camisole. The tube top is also another way to wear spaghetti strap dresses.   Simple ideas such as this make getting dressed fun.

    Finally, grab your sun screen, flip flops and tank top, summer is here!  The first item on my summer wardrobe list is always new tank tops.  Whether it’s pants, skirts or shorts, the tank is a multi-purpose life saving fashion essential.  If you’re on a summer getaway, how perfect to pull out a tank to go hang out at the pool or lounge and feel dressed.  Add some jewelry and voila!

    I notice many women also become active during the summer with exercise regimens and outdoor activities.  Instead of using our ready to wear tank tops, purchase inexpensive camisoles and tanks that give you comfort and mileage for your money.

    When you want a next level look, the tank is still a fabulous solution for evening attire.  This time the tank takes shape as the outerwear essential, but also provides a seamless and “fit” solution.  Step out in confidence knowing you look flawless.

    Make this a fashionista must have on your summer shopping list!

    The debate continues with women around the country whether showing your bra straps is ok or not.  I am a firm believer in fashion/style, and sometimes a bra strap incorporated correctly makes sense.  A white tank top and zebra bra straps, I would have to arrest you.  I think we all agree that clean lines and all eyes on you is the goal. Free People F310F443 (click for details) The new trend is to layer your tanks.   A new twist on things is a return to the tube top.  It provides the support of a bra and gives another layer of “shape”.  Your bulges can smooth away with this solution/fashionista option

    Get your glass, let’s toast to a sensational summer! Cheers.

    I absolutely love precious stones.  The color palette  in lingerie looks similar to some of the stones I love including rose quartz and turquoise.  Turquoise is such a strong, passionate stone.   It’s a color that looks spectacular on just about anyone. Finding the right shade for you is the key. The bra can be work as a peek-a-boo camisole with the right blouse or shirt. A t-shirt adds a fresh pop of color to neutral, chocolate, or black.   Remember, fashion lingerie is made to compliment fashion trends.

    Finding a shade in pale tones may not work if you’re ethnic or have dark undertones.  Find a way to work turquoise into this season’s wardrobe.

    As we get closer to Memorial Day, the time has come to begin our pre-summer shopping sprees.  This summer, you may want to consider a swim wardrobe.  I used to own one suit until I went to Hawaii last year and fell in love with resting and nesting by the pool.  Sometimes you want to be chic and getting splashed is not an option.  On another day, you are all about the waves.  Shopping for a swim suit that provides versatility is essential. You can mix and match the collection based on the mood or the need.  A short skirt is a perfect when you want to go to the bar or have a spa treatment and you don’t want to feel bare walking through the lobby.

    This coupled with a halter top and heels is sexy and sophisticated for poolside social.  If you feel a little timid, then a long sarong is for you with a tankini.  This creates an illusion of a lounge dress.   Now that swim is sized by cup size, the options are unlimited.   Every woman should own a black bikini bottom.  As the seasons change, you can save money by mixing and matching with new tops every year.   Who is that glamorous woman at the pool? Oh it’s You!
