    In the Grey – Fall Lingerie Preview!

    Last Spring we blogged about the new “it” color Grey.  As I flip through Elle, In Style, and Vogue and more, the color has become a mainstay for the upcoming fall season.  Versatile, and can easily mixed and splashed with vibrant colors such as red and violet.  The floral trend has also remained.  Flowers and lingerie just seem to go together.

    As we transition out of our slinky summer frocks, we begin to look at layers.  A sexy print bra under black is a fashion OH Yes!  As I have mentioned before, you just want to make sure it’s seamless so that it creates smooth lines.  This applies to every woman including full fit/full figure ladies.  Fashion bras are a must have for the wardrobe.

    As I was watching Lady Gaga on the Today Show and her videos, the Fame Monster as she affectionately calls herself wears great fitting bras.  Bravo Lady Gaga! Some have been simple and some bedazzled and some a big WOW.  I am a fan of the beautiful bra.  The bra that when we put it on says ” I need to be seen”.

    Of course, the majority of us are not bold enough like Ms. LG, but we have those times when if we are going to show it, flaunt it and look fantastic.  The ruffle top, and vintage inspired collections that have returned have allowed us to wear lace with seams.  As we approach fall, put a lace bra on the list.  Black is back in a big way, but keep it sexy with a touch of color.  Bella…

    Lingerie Solutions – Designer Collections

    I was recently shopping in a department store and a sales associate commented , “check out the designer collections on sale”.  At first my gut reaction was can I afford it?  I got over my fear and perused the lovely selection.  In fact, the price point was the same as a regular priced item I had just seen in another department.  I bought a top that can take me from day to evening.  What a deal!  This challenged me to write about Lingerie Designer collections like a bra and panty set that can make a statement and  be incorporated in any season.

    The size issue is a challenge because most are European labels and they will stop around a 36C.  However, more companies are expanding their horizons and doing D and double D cups.    I recommend getting at least two or more bottoms when buying a matching set.  Just like clothes, you would want to match and feel confident from the inside out.  The other concept is to buy a secondary pair with a 3 for Offer.

    When you buy volume you save.  This way your bra gets mileage and you can wear it more often.  The options are endless for every woman.

    Summer Essentials – The Strapless Bra

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Lace in the Right Place – Bras We Love

    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.

    Calvin Klein F3105

    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!

    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.

    Trends – Vintage Inspired

    In Style Magazine recently reviewed new bras for women.  It was well done, and wow what a collection.  It is so awesome to see that women of every size and shape can truly have their own style.

    As I reviewed lingerie trends for spring, my favorite pick is vintage inspired lingerie.

    Vintage is timeless, and if you’re a woman who likes to collect lingerie, it’s a must have. It appears that dresses and being ultra feminine is the key this season.  A vintage bra and panty set would be the ultimate accessory to your wardrobe. Regardless if you can not see it, you know how fabulous you feel and look.

    It does not cost a fortune to do the vintage look.  Prices range from $24 to $60 for a bra and $10 to $30 for the bottom half.  Create a new expression of you with a return to classic intimate apparel that celebrates the old, but brings out a bold new woman in you!
