    Hot Trend 2010 – Shapewear Apparel – The Legging Pant

    Posted on August 19, 2010 in Body Confidence, Shapewear Solutions Tags: , , ,

    Lisse Leggings (click for details)

    Excuse me can you help me find a pair of pants…in lingerie?  I know it seems a little peculiar, but it’s not!   When I worked in retail I was bombarded by my personal clients to shop for them.  Why?  Lingerie just like Jeans is one of the most difficult categories in apparel to fit.  Since the shape revolution is among us now, many companies are now creating clothing lines with built in shapewear.  I call this the marriage of two great ideas.  Sometimes a woman does not want to layer and connect the pieces when getting dressed.  Simply step in, pull up and your done.  The legging and pant solution is on fire right now.  This summer, the shapewear bathing suit was a hot seller!  I am excited to see what’s on the horizon.

    Fashion Confidence – A four year old inspires us to look in the mirror…

    Posted on August 16, 2010 in Body Confidence, Full Fit and Fabulous Tags: , ,

    I was forwarded pictures of a lovely young diva in training by her grandmother/wardrobe stylist Vicki Nichols of Doncaster Womens Apparel trying on a TC Shapewear Camisole.  It stopped me in my tracks.   If pictures could talk, I believe she was saying “Wow, my sundress really fits”, or Check me out! I have an amazing shape”.  I believe the main lesson here is how she is not afraid to look in the mirror and try solutions.  When was the last time we have done this ourselves?  Do we pass a rack of clothes and or review the fashion mags and flip the pages fast because we feel silently “I can’t wear this”.  Take a lesson from our diva in training.  Look in the mirror, strike a pose and find a solution that helps you look and feel good.  Celebrate the inner child in you that is fearless.

    Beyond the Cleavage – Body Confidence Diva Raquel Welch

    Women everywhere remember the stunning, sexy and powerhouse diva Raquel Welch.  Her new book “Beyond The Cleavage” is a fascinating self empowerment tool for women 50 plus, and or anyone who wants to learn how to embrace life with vigor and zest.  When I speak about lingerie, I thought I had a selection of great metaphors.  After watching Raquel on Bonny Hunts show, I was mesmerized with envy.  She made mention of how her “rack” would not fit into the “modern bra”.  She stated how she had a full crowd and they (her girls) can not be pushed into a small balcony!  I was rolling.  Right on Raquel! This is what I call confidence and owning who you are with no embarrassment.  She shared additional lessons on life and defining what age means and looks like for her right now.  I enjoyed listening to her describe her journey with her body and her life. One of things she said that I loved is that “you can change things”.   I believe this is the key to looking good daily as it pertains to lingerie.  Embrace who you are, flaws and all…Give yourself some love!  Thanks for sharing Raquel.

    Cover it Up…The Long Tee for Spring

    Posted on April 22, 2010 in Body Confidence, Loungewear Tags: ,

    Lingerie is now the destination for what I call intimate daywear apparel.  It’s a mix of layering pieces that go from lunch with friends to the spa to out to dinner with your man.  If you’re a woman like me who has a busy life, always packing a suitcase and leaving out of town, then I suggest visiting a few options for your wardrobe.

    Day Option:  Take it down a notch during the day and create a business solution with a black trouser and heels, classic gold or silver jewelry to compliment.   The white shirt becomes a long jacket with a hip modern twist.

    Evening Option:   A long white shirt is romantic, sexy and really creates unlimited possibilities.  You can take a jeweled belt (hot trend), wrap around and add a camisole, a skirt with ruffles, big chunky jewels and you are a smoking hot diva at an evening event.

    Play Option:  You’re traveling to a chic destination hotel and you want to take it up a notch with not your ordinary pool cover.  Hello!  Your white shirt is your friend and you look smashing.  It provides a solution for extra pounds you want to conceal as well.

    One item, multiple solutions! This one is a must have on the list for spring and summer.

    Slim, Trim and Tone the Torso – Body Confidence

    BW1100 Body Wrap

    So many times when we get dressed in the morning it feels like a struggle to wear anything body conscious when we have “issues”.  This is no longer the case when so many amazing companies are designing shapewear that is sexy and a solution.  My favorite part of being a Lingerie Fit Expert is providing women with confidence.  It’s that go and do it diva attitude that we need to get dressed in the morning daily.

    Spring for so many women is a dance of fear.  You go shopping and you see a dress or top and your heart begins to beat fast.  “Can I wear that?  What about my bacon and bulges?  Now you can stop those voices with shapewear that focus on the torso. Some provide a bra and others enhance the bra you wear from contour to strapless.  Ironically, as I was writing this blog I received a call from one of my clients who purchased a torso camisole.  She was raving about how much back support it provided.  She felt like it made her stand tall and more upright and her clothes fit like never before! This is a woman’s dream.  No fussing, pulling and tugging.

    Select a style that enhances your wardrobe and your “fit” challenges.

    Lingerie Party on Extra – Fit Matters!

    I had a blast hosting a lingerie segment for Extra LifeChangers program. The first segment featured a new mom who was having challenges finding lingerie help. The second segment features me and eight women, all different sizes who utilize one garment to find solutions to their wardrobe problems. Each woman who did the segment all walked away with an excitement regarding the advice I gave personally to each one of them.

    I feel so honored that the passion I have for lingerie continues to grow when you hear someone say ” Thanks I really needed the help!” I walked away truly inspired to stay on my mission regarding the importance of a great fit. Some of the girls were college grads, others were women 50 plus who had felt a little self conscious about their body image. Take control today! Get fitted by a professional in your town, or click on the link to some of the recommendation seen on Extra.

    Red Carpet Essential – Body Beautiful, Body

    The Golden Globes were awesome!  The lists of best dressed and not are still being debated on the chatter boxes.  I celebrate any woman who has to strut in front of millions of people for a public review.  I know for myself I used to get super nervous walking in front of any establishment in which people were sitting down to eat and could gaze out the window and stare as you pass by.  It was frightening to me.  Now, I am fearless and fancy free.  I have learned how to embrace every aspect of my body with much love even on days I know there is a challenge.  It all began when I worked as a stylist and a lingerie expert for a leading department store.  I learned how to train my eye to catch the “issues” that would keep me from being confident on the inside and outside.

    One of my favorite stylists, in fact I will add Master Stylists one of few in the world is Carla Mathis, Co-Founder of Body Beautiful.  A woman’s personal architect for looking sensational is how I describe her services.  They wardrobe you head to toe, and provide recommendations on style and fit.  The same technique that Carla has developed is used for styling women for award shows and for “personal branding”.  It all begins by asking the client or yourself, what are my winning features that make me unique?  This question begins the excavation for fabulous you… I find this a very positive approach to discovering how to look your best.  The winners on the red carpet certainly mastered this question to create that “Awe” moment.

    Confidence comes from defining your own signature style – Make your own red carpet moments everyday

    Have you ever had one of those days when you wanted to look super cute and comfortable with minimum effort?  Put on some cute shoes, jewelry and a handbag and you’re done!  If I was going to pick a 2010 outfit of the year, it would be the long tee.  I saw the Splendid Tee and it was the dream outfit aforementioned.  Layer it up, layer it down.  Perfection!  This with leggings is a woman’s best friend for a day on the go or traveling to a destination like a spa.  If you find yourself self conscious in a fitted shirt, then you have permission to add a shapewear camisole on top.  Body conscious clothing is not to be feared.  Shapewear is your friend.

    Shape Solution Camisole – Jockey

    Jockey No Panty Line Camisole (click for details)

    Jockey No Panty Line Camisole (click for details)

    Over the past year Jockey has become a big winner with LFE clients.  The price point, the multitude of styles and solutions underneath clothes, it’s what we call a “must have”.  I came across the No Panty Line Camisole and was really impressed.  Available in small through 2XL Jockey allows women to have a flawless look and a deal at the same time.  When you buy two you get one free!  I would consider this one as an option for V-Neck sweaters to rid yourself of the cumbersome back bacon when you don’t want to wear a full throttle shaper.  My recommendation would be to pair this with a contour bra, lightly lined for a perfect shape solution.
