Valentines Lingerie Shopping – Loving You!

Posted on February 5, 2010 in Bras We Love Tags: Add new tag, Clothing, Day, Fashion, Lingerie, Retailing, Shopping, Undergarment, Valentine's Day

The sexiest time of the year is here. I adore Valentines Day and all the girlie girl stuff. There is something for every woman. I remember the days when big puffy slippers and a sheer or silk night gown was considered “the gift”. Thank goodness we have evolved and the types of gifts and styles for women range from cotton pajamas, sexy bras to two piece sets that work after the special day. We as women need to connect to this holiday beyond just the boyfriend or husband ritual. That is just as important, but loving yourself in lingerie is a 365 day affair. I started being a fan of Valentines Day shopping for me when I saw the vase selection of styles come through the door when I worked in retail. I thought, wow, this is the time to shop! The vendors pull out all the stops, and after the big day is over it’s usually sale mania (my favorite). You can grab some major deals on matching bra and panty sets ( Lingerie Fit Expert Must Have).

As for a color story, red and black are the norm, but have you tried the new it color of the season “purple”. Surprise someone special with a smoking hot purple frock or matching set. Every fashion magazine is screaming purple passion mania. I also believe white is perfect as a transition to spring and summer that are right around the corner.

If you are full fit and fabulous, I highly recommend Freya for beautiful lingerie that is sophisticated and spectacular in fit! La Perla has taken the limits off this year with a fabulous red and black lace set that fits like a dream. Several of my clients have purchased and can not thank me enough. This is a collector and could be worn under the right blouse as a camisole affect. Think beyond what you see. Lingerie is a “solution” now for fashion as well.

This year, I am recommending bra sets to clients. They are the gift that keeps on giving. You can use it everyday beyond the special occasion. Remember, loving you goes beyond just Valentines Day. It’s all about loving yourself without limits daily. You are the gift. Have a wonderful day…

Lingerie Party on Extra – Fit Matters!

Posted on January 28, 2010 in As Seen on TV, Body Confidence Tags: Add new tag, Clothing, Exotic, Lingerie, Shopping, Undergarment, Underwear, Valentine's Day, Women's

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!

Are you working it? The importance of Sports Bras

Posted on January 26, 2010 in Bras We Love Tags: Add new tag, Basics, Breast, Clothing, Foot, France, Shopping, Sports bra, Undergarments

As we enter the tail end of January 2010, I know for most of us, we have made our resolutions to loose weight, go to the gym, and just be more active. As a friendly reminder, make sure you own a sports bra and do not work out in your regular bra. A sports bra is designed to give specific engineering and lift for women. A regular bra, although supportive is designed for shaping the breasts, but not for jumping, running, etc. When doing fittings for clients, I have seen numerous women walk in with blown out bras. I always ask in the consultation, do you own a sports bra? A few will say yes, but the majority will boldly say no, and have sixteen reasons why. This is not ok. I always compare it to wearing the same shoes day in and day out for one year. Your shoes and your feet would be worn out!

Just like a regular bra, you can select the type of impact you need to get your work out on! If you are a pilates or yoga lover, then low impact or no wire solutions will work well for you. If you play tennis or run, you will want to select a firm or compression garment that keeps your ladies in place but does not bind or pinch. If you’re a AA or smaller cup, they have heard the voices of women who said we need a little help. You can find contour or molded solutions to give you more shape. The full figure customer has awesome choices, finally…

Stay focused on your goals!

Sneak Peak at Spring

Spring is almost near, and since we have had record breaking cool temps, we wanted to bring our own form of sunshine with a peak at trends coming for Spring 2010. Simple statements and fresh color patterns are on the horizon. Stripes mixed with dashes of color and bold orange is the signature color of the season. I call it a mix of retro fresh chic. I have always encouraged my clients to select lingerie to go with the season trends. The must have item in my lingerie drawer every season is a color story of camisoles that go with the seasons trend. This winter I picked hot pink. I took my basic black wardrobe and pushed it to another level with splashes of hot pink underneath.

Advice: Every woman should own a fashion inspired bra and panty set to enhance your wardrobe collections. A girl should always have fun…

Golden Globes Style Watch – Sandra Bullock…

Posted on January 20, 2010 in As Seen on TV, Shapewear Solutions Tags: Add new tag, Arts, Golden Globe, Golden Globe Award, Hollywood Los Angeles California, Meryl Streep, Movies, Sandra Bullock, Undergarment

As we continue to watch the reviews of the Golden Globes, I personally had a favorite from the big event. Sandra Bullock looked like a vision of loveliness in her passionate purple gown. This was Hollywood glamour at its best. I really enjoyed her comment when she won her award regarding the team who assembled her for the event. She spoke about how they created a canvas for her to look so spectacular. Bravo Sandra to you for acknowledging people behind the scene. We give Sandra A+ for her undergarments as well. Flawless! She never once had to look down to make sure she was “secure”. This is critical for dressing successfully underneath it all ladies. The key to wearing a dress with no straps is either a great strapless bustier or a built in solution. Don’t be afraid of strapless. They do work, but it’s all about correct size and style.

Red Carpet Essential – Body Beautiful, Body

Posted on January 18, 2010 in Body Confidence, Shapewear Solutions Tags: Add new tag, Business, Business Services, Consulting, Department store, Golden Globe Award, Golden Globes, Red carpet, Shopping

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
