Fall Items We Love – Chantelle C-Chic Bra Style 3582

Posted on August 28, 2009 in Bras We Love Tags: Business and Economy, Clothing, Lingerie, Shopping, Undergarments, Undergarments and Sleepwear, Underwear, Women's

Chantelle 3582 - click for details

I have been a huge fan of Chantelle for years. Every bra looks like a custom designed frolic that was cut and sewn just for you. Chantelle is known for their attention to detail. The fit is fabulous although on the small side. I was lingerie shopping for a client and came across the C-Chic Style 3582. This is a must have for the woman who wants it all. The bottom of the cups is lightly lined for modesty, while the sheer top is all about being diva divine. A woman who wears this hot little number has what I call the “confidence factor”. It’s all about you! Available from C to G Cups. Fall may be cooler, but this one is sizzling…

Fall Items We Love – Yummie Tummie Lacie Shapewear Tank

Posted on August 26, 2009 in Body Confidence, Shapewear Solutions Tags: Arts, Blouse, Design, Fashion, Lace, Sweater, Women, Yummie Tummie

YummieTummie TK1050 - click for details

I love this item! Brand new and in time for the upcoming sweater season, Yummie Tummie Tank 1050 gives you the best in shapewear and sexy. A low plunge v-neck that takes care of the burrito roll and feminine lace for a v-neck or peek-a-boo affect in a blouse. The TK1057R is a winner for the full busted woman who wants to shape and sculpt, but not “smash” her bust in a tank top. Both tanks are long and are designed for women who love fashion, style and solutions. Bravo on this one Yummie Tummie!

Fearless Fashion Shopping –TC Waist Cincher!

Posted on August 24, 2009 in Body Confidence Tags: Clothing, Corset, Fashion, Lingerie, Shopping, Skirt, Tunic, Undergarment

TC Fine Intimates: Pull-On Waist Cincher - click for details

It is so hard to believe that fall is right around the corner. It’s my favorite time for fashion and shopping. The layers, the coats, I love it all…Lingerie takes center stage this time of year as well. Doncaster, one of my favorite lines is showing tunics with belts. I was showing one of their clients how to transform her figure with a waist cincher. WOW! It was like magic. Her entire shape changed and the fear she had about wrapping the belt around a tunic was over. It slimmed, trimmed and made her look leaner and taller. TC Fine Intimates Waist Cincher 454 is my pick. If your someone who has the “burrito roll.” Have no fear, waist cincher is here. Trims and tones instantly! I have also recommended this for women who want to create the corset effect with the pencil skirt and vintage top. This is a must have for fall. Amazing how one item can compliment your entire wardrobe. We will have our fall 09 favorites report shortly. We will be back with more!

Mini Mountains – Focus on Petite Bras and Fit

Posted on August 21, 2009 in Bras We Love, Petite Bras Tags: Basics, Bras We Love, Clothing, Lace, Shopping, Undergarment, Wacoal, Women

On Gossamer Bump It Up

When I speak across the country, often women laugh about my term “mountain top experience”. In all fairness to the petite or “mini mountain” ladies out there, they too want to have uplift and something to fill their cups. I wanted to focus on the importance of those women who are petite and need a bra that really fits them. A few years back, I was so excited when Wacoal launched their petite collection. Over the years, I have found additional brands and companies that provide ample shape for the smaller framed woman. I will continue to spotlight these bras in our blog over time. One of the most popular has been On Gossamer Bump It Up style 3201. I have been shocked to see clients who could not fill a cup change their entire shape with this bra. You have the ability to twist the center and increase the bust by an entire size. Wacoal Petite style 75604 is a beautiful contour with lace and special designed cups that fill in the gaps when she is challenged in the volume area. I once had a client scheduled for implants who cancelled because of this bra (true story). Tell your girlfriends or yourself who are always complaining they don’t have enough they have options. Another great place to shop for lingerie is www.lulalu.com, an online store just for Petites.

We will continue to review collections…stay tuned.

Lingerie Shopping 101 – Back to School Bra Shopping for Teens

Posted on August 19, 2009 in Body Confidence, Underwear We Love Tags: Clothing, Fashion, Lingerie, Retail, Shopping, Sports bra, Undergarment, Wacoal

Barely There 4285 click for details

It’s that time of the year. Back to school once again for young girl’s everywhere. I loved shopping with my mom for clothes, shoes, and the essentials. When I was in retail I remember the mom’s piling into the department to purchase their daughters their lingerie wardrobe. Sometimes it was a wonderful experience for both mom and daughter, or it was world war two. Finding lingerie that fits for a teen is a journey. Here are some of the basics every girl should have in her drawer:

Barely There style 4285 flawless fit is just enough for the growing teen who needs coverage but no wire.

Barely There 0517 is another light and comfortable solution for petite fits. Super comfortable!

Wacoal 87042 is my top pick for so many teens. Moms agree that when they want their daughters to have a little more shape, this is perfect!

Jockey 2031 click for details

Jockeys Mini String Bikini Style 2031 is hip, cute and fun for every girl. Great value 3 for $24.00.

Calvin F3000 is for the growing teen that needs lift and a perfect everyday bra. Although a little more of an investment, please keep in mind you’re getting a great bra that will provide solutions for your wardrobe.

How many bras should you own? Check out our Bra Fit Expert Page and review how many bras you should own and the styles. Don’t forget to add a sports bra to the collection.

Should a teen wear black lingerie? Mothers ask me this question often and my response has always been “only if appropriate for a fashion solution”. Times have changed and many girls are wearing black as a staple in their wardrobe. I find this to be totally acceptable.

Have a great time shopping! Welcome back to school.

Sexy Lingerie – Luxury Lingerie, Go Ahead You Deserve it…

Posted on August 17, 2009 in Bras We Love, Panties Tags: Clothing, La Perla, Lingerie, Shopping, Undergarments, Undergarments and Sleepwear, Underwear

Wolford 69394 click for details

The category of luxury lingerie is rapidly growing. Brands such a La Perla have set the standard for excellence. The details, the fabrics and oh yes the fit are exquisite. Take for example Wolford Eden Rock Style 69394 at $185.00 retail and the panty style 69396 at $135.00. The detail is so delicate and so beautiful on this set it should be in a showroom along with a sports car. I know for myself, I would stop and think about this purchase. However, once I started wearing luxury collections, I was hooked! Something felt different and I wanted more… Of course, if it’s a decision between needing everyday basics, be sensible and get what fits your wallet. Another idea is to shop the deals online or in a store. I call it becoming a collector on a budget. Whatever decision you make, simply remember you deserve it, you’re worth it, and most importantly enjoy it.

Posted on August 14, 2009 in Camisoles Tags: Camisole, Lingerie, Shopping, Suit

Hanky Panky 1390L (click for details)

We have all worn or heard the press on Hanky Panky. We are absolutely a fan here at LFE, and we continue to get the high fives from our clients. Here is another Hanky Panky sure fire top pick. They have launched a new layering camisole in a variety of soft and feminine colors to layer or wear alone (if you dare). The Hanky Panky 1390L Camisole is smoking hot! I layered it with the TC Fine Intimates 444 Shapewear Camisole and it was extra spicy and practical for my clients. You have got to try or buy this one! Tired of your black suit, you have a new and improved solution with this camisole. As for fit, it’s also very generous. Put this one on the list for fall.

Bras We Love – Wacoal 65033

Posted on August 12, 2009 in Bras We Love Tags: Black tie, Clothing, Gold rush, Halter, Shopping, Undergarment, United States, Wacoal

Wacoal 65033 (Click for details)

I have fallen in love with the Wacoal 65033 solutions bra. I am a huge proponent of support, so when I first realized it was no underwire, I was not sure if it could properly shape my clients. Surprise! Not only did it shape them but the options for their clothing grew by leaps and bounds. Halter, clear strap, criss-cross, straps moved in or out, it was like hitting the gold rush for people who do not like strapless. I became extremely impressed when I dressed a woman for a black tie event who refused to wear a strapless and so I took the straps off the bra and the shape held, no straps required! My client ordered the bra in both black and nude. A proven winner!

Posted on August 10, 2009 in Panties, Underwear We Love Tags: Business and Economy, Camisole, Clothing, Lingerie, Shopping, Undergarment, Underwear, Women's

Jockey 1322 (click for more information)

I have a discerning palate when it comes to picking lingerie. Over the years, I had heard my clients raving about Jockey. The style in particular is 1322. I showcased the product at an event, and the ladies loved them! It is rare to find something that so many people like in unison. The price point is solid at $9.50 and the matching camisole style 1323 is super chic for the traveling or lounge diva. $20.00! Multiple colors and sizes for plus. This is a Lingerie Fit Expert Top Pick.
