It’s T-Shirt and Tank Top Time…Go Strap Free this Summer

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. 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!

Lace in the Right Place – Bras We Love

Calvin Klein F3009

One of the major complaints I receive my from my clients is that seamless bras especially contour look too industrial or rigid. I agree, and yes the companies heard women as well and have now taken a new approach to handling the request.

The lace is used in discreet or hidden places that provide a touch of glamour but not intrusion on your bra. If you’re searching for something new, combining the softness of lace with a seamless bra is a favorite for summer tank tops and knits. Bella!

Your Shape, Your Way – The Torsolette

TC 4043 (click for details)

A couple of years ago when I saw infomercials showcasing shapewear that had a bra peeking out of the top, I thought NO WAY! I am not recommending nor would I ever consider wearing this myself. As they say, never say never…In late fall, I tried one on a client who had mentioned she never could find shapewear that fits. It was no joke, and I went through several collections until we pulled out the then “no way” undergarment. Winner! My client beamed for joy and her challenge had ended. It again proves that one style does not do it all for every woman. The torsolette is the hottest trend in shaping. It allows you to wear the bra of your choice while the torsolette tones and trims your mid section. As we enter into summer, this is a must have if you have had challenges wearing shapewear camisoles or one piece undergarments that have pulled you down, or not provided enough lift.

I would also recommend for people who have lower back pain. I have had several clients report back that they stood taller, and they did not feel so frumpy and there lower back pain disappeared. Remember, if you don’t have shape, lift and support your undergarments are not working for you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms, grandmothers and even new moms to be! As we enter into this treasured holiday season, I took a moment to think about what would be the perfect gift for mom in the lingerie department.

This year, I selected the “Lingerie Wardrobe”. I define this as the items that most women would not buy themselves, but secretly have them on their wish list. The luxurious camisole and panties or the cotton candy soft to the touch night shirt….why not all three?

These items are versatile and can help mom go from day to evening. When I worked in retail, women would always mention how they loved the practical items such as cotton underwear or a night shirt when exchanging gifts. You can give mom basic cotton to stretch micro fiber. Have a wonderful day!
