Shopping for Valentines is always so special and fun.  It takes on different meanings for every person.  Lingerie has always been one of the top picks behind candy and flowers as the ultimate gift.  It used to be a silk gown and matching robe that would get a girl’s attention.  Now, you can use everyday items and make a girl smile…The layering tank with a little luxury lace detail is a perfect gift for the woman who has it all.  Since layering season has not gone away, this one can solve many wardrobe and sleepwear solutions.  Bella!

Love You! Valentines Gift Ideas

Valentines Day is right around the corner and what is a girl to get for herself.  Yes, I know we want our man to spoil us, but sometimes a lady needs to love herself and buy intimate apparel that can be a staple for years beyond just one occasion.  One of my favorite gift ideas are camisole sets.  You can wear it sleep, lounge or work it into your wardrobe.  A matching set is a must!  If you don’t wear thongs, then boy shorts are a great alternative to lines or seams.  Happy Valentines Day!

Pretty and Shapely on the Inside

Body Wrap BW3904351Over the years, women have complained about how “industrial” and “unattractive” shapewear has become.  Take a new look ladies at what is possible.  Now, shapewear is made so luxurious and pretty that you can wear it as outerwear and innerwear.  Talk about a self esteem boost.

You can look in the mirror and love how you feel and look literally.    Shapewear can be used in a variety of applications, including seeing yourself as a new size.  When you combine a camisole top and a biker short, it can take away 2 to 3 inches.   Advice:  Never purchase shapewear too big or too small.

I can button my shirt! The importance of Fit

So many times I have heard my friends and clients mentioning how their shirt or blouse will not stay closed.  It’s a major inconvenience, and totally embarrassing if I may add when it comes to getting dressed for work or just daily in general.  Nobody wants to be constantly explaining why their shirt has ventilation or “issues”.

It’s a new day ladies, and now you have options to include the right size bra (one of the major factors in the shirt gap), or if it’s a size challenge, then try something new like a camisole bra that provides a peek-a-boo affect of a camisole underneath.  Stylish, a solution and simply glamorous all rolled into one.    Regardless of your personal challenge, a white shirt is always in style.  Did you buy the right size? Many women buy shirts too tight to get a little sexy going on…Love it, but again make sure your wearing something underneath that compliments, not distracts.  Wear it with confidence with the right solution!

LFE Wardrobe Solution:  Make sure you own a camisole that can take you from day to evening to play.  One of the greatest investments a woman can make is in a luxurious camisole that takes you and your wardrobe to another level.  Take an ordinary black suit and make it new. It’s all about the chunky or skinny belt.  Pair it with a camisole and voila you’re a hot mama.  Reinvent your wardrobe instantly!

Lingerie Fashion – Purple Passion Continues into Fall and Winter

Hanro 9758 (click for details)

This year the spotlight is on the color purple.  It began in the spring at the Oscars and has continued to be the new signature color of the season.  One of my favorite ways to incorporate trend and save money is through camisole layering.  The trend this year is the faux fur rage and the bulky sweater.  Who wants to be sizzling underneath with a long sleeve alternative?  By adding a camisole you have a punch of color and savvy style solution.  Remember to select the shade of purple that works for you.  You can pick from lavender to deep eggplant tones.  This is a sure fire winner for fall and winter.

Own Your Shape: “You Wear it Well…Shape Solutions that really work!”

Posted on October 7, 2010 in Body Confidence,Camisoles,Shapewear Solutions

I recently hosted a Shapewear and Fit seminar in Oklahoma and I had the pleasure of viewing the Doncaster Winter Collection.  I was so impressed by the attention to detail and the multiple opportunities for women to look amazing this season.  The clients at the event were equally excited and delighted with the Collection.

Not surprisingly however, there were several questions pertaining to fit, and what the customers saw as their body/fit challenges. How do I wear this? What should I wear underneath?  How can I look thinner/smoother?

These types of questions are familiar to all of us and happily there are very simple answers.  Here are the top three shape solutions that I shared with these women. What a pleasure to help women feel confident and look and feel their very best.

TC 4045

Question:   How do I create a smooth line between my torso and waist line?

Never walk out the door saying “No, I can’t wear that. I feel chunky. It makes my waist look big. I feel fat in it.” After trying the TC 4045 (available small to 3XL) on several clients, they were amazed at how they looked — it was as if they had lost inches instantly.  Remember, we often say no to trends or specific styles because we are frightened it will not fit or will be unbecoming. With the proper under garments you feel confident and ready to embrace fashion with a big YES I CAN!

Hanro 1814

Question: I don’t want to wear a shaper, but I want to be smooth, what do you recommend?

This is a common situation for many women during the change in seasons in which you already are wearing several layers. They just want to be comfortable, but they are also concerned about the fit of a garment and how it shapes their body. Don’t hesitate to assure your clients that being smooth and flawless is possible.  As supple as silk, but made of all natural fibers, the Hanro camisole (1814) is the perfect answer. It is available in nude, black and white as well as in Navy.

Donna Karan OB207

Question: What hosiery should I wear with a skirt or a suit?

Hosiery is making a comeback this season like never before. It’s one of the easiest ways to transform an outfit with the “wow factor”.

Berkshire 4930

This season it is all about details, texture and color.  Women can go bold, or simple.  Hosiery today is considered bodywear. Highly recommended brands include Donna Karan OB207 and Berkshire 4930

Wolford 190-75


Wolford 190-75 is stunning!  This makes a statement when you walk in the room.  Textures are acceptable for both work and leisure environments.
The Donna Karan are only $20!  Fashion hosiery is also available in Women’s sizes.

As you build your wardrobe this Fall and Winter, know that there are shapewear answers available for all your needs.

Fall Trends: Loving the Leopard

I have always been a fan of animal prints.  Whether you’re a leopard, zebra or snake skin fan, making a statement with animal (of course none harmed) is fashion chic.  This year leopard is making a huge splash on the cat walk and fashion pages.  I have seen everything from handbags to hair accessories.  In the land of lingerie, there are a multitude of solutions for the cheetah ladies who love the print.   You can layer it with a shapewear camisole, or show it as a solution with a bra.  If you like it, but don’t love it try incorporating it into underwear.  If you want to make a statement, a tight or legging is the ultimate wow factor. Get wild this fall.

White is sizzling when paired with the right accessories, shoes and hats.  Since we are in count down mode for summer to end, if you do not get your fix of white, then here is your chance.  In addition, white mixed with navy this year is the new spectator savvy style.

May we recommend a stunning white swim suit that makes pool time look divine.  You can never own enough camisoles.  Use as a outer wear coordinate or sleepwear top.   White is an easy in the mix when traveling.

Take those torn boxers out of the suitcase.  Upgrade to a fun and sophisticated shortie PJ set that can mix and match with your camisole and swim attire.  Bon Voyage!
