As we end July with a focus on must have items for the summer season, one of Lingerie Fit Expert favorite items is day wear/play wear.  These are the items that cross over between lounge and hitting the town.  The best part is the incredible shaping solutions that are inclusive in the items.  That’s right, you don’t have to add another undergarment to look sensational.  In the heat wave we just experienced, who would want to add on another layer.   The new “it” shoe is the platform. Add this with your shapewear item and your hot mama in the city!

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.

Have you every received a call from someone who asked you to meet them for coffee or lunch and it’s only a moments notice?  When women get dressed daily, I believe we should have key items that can take us anywhere.  It’s simple to put on a tank top or t- shirt, but to get dressed and feel stylish is a challenge.

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!

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.

So many choices… Advice:  Never be afraid to ask someone their size.  It allows you to shop with confidence and pick a gift out of love not fear.

I am a lounge diva to the max.  When I am home it’s all about the hoodie, the lounge pants and the tank top.  I ran across the Arlotta and my heart stopped.  It was love at first sight. Starting with Arlotta Cashmere Hoodie 3220 and Draw String Pants 2024.  Cashmere is the ultimate in luxury.  This is stunning and the features make the price point worth the investment.

It has a zipper and pockets which in turn allows you to mix and match.  You know me if you read my blogs I am always finding a way to take lingerie to another level by combining it with outer wear.  Yes, this one could go with your daily wardrobe.  The ultimate gift for any woman is a bath robe.  Arlotta does it again with a Cashmere Robe style 2011.  As Campbell’s Soup says MM Good! I would curl up in a chaise lounge in this one.  Has your special someone been asking what to buy you?  You have my full permission to forward, cut and paste…Dreams do come true!
