In the Grey – Fall Lingerie Preview!

Posted on September 3, 2010 in Bras We Love Tags: Basics, Clothing, Fashion, Lingerie, Shopping, Undergarments, Underwear, Vogue

Calvin Klein F3148 (click for details)

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.

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 – Play Clothes

Posted on July 29, 2010 in Loungewear Tags: Business and Economy, Clothing, Exotic, Lingerie, Shopping, Undergarment, Underwear, Women's

Shape fx 34695 (click for details)

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!

Summer Essentials: Sexy and Comfortable Underwear

Posted on June 28, 2010 in Panties, Underwear We Love Tags: Boyshorts, Clothing, Cotton, Jockey, Shopping, Undergarment, Underwear

Hanky Panky 471202 (click for details)

The category of underwear for women has exploded! Boy shorts, briefs, high cuts, thongs, and more. I am simply amazed at how many pairs of underwear a woman could own if she wanted to have some for a whole month.

Cosabella AIREZ07ZL (click for details)

You would never get bored, and the color choices are endless. This summer, I am encouraging all my clients to do pretty underwear that is both comfortable and sexy. Is it possible? Absolutely! If you love boy shorts then try stretch lace or cotton. If you like a classic brief or high cut, then micro fiber is going to be your friend for both coolness in hot climates, and a comfortable stretch if you like full coverage in the rear.

Jockey 1338 (click for details)

Because women tend to wear a lot more dresses this time of year, wearing colors and prints is easier. Instead of basic black with a sun dress, try a fun print.

Many women do not realize that pale pink is the new “nude”. If you have a fair complexion, it’s a nice change from the ordinary choices we pull out of our drawer.

What’s your choice? Be adventurous this summer.

Don’t get caught in the wrong stuff… – Underwear We Love

Posted on April 26, 2010 in Panties, Underwear We Love Tags: Clothing, Undergarment, Underwear

Biatta BF035306 (click for details)

If you have already started shopping for your summer wardrobe, it’s so important to add new underwear to your list. Last summer I got caught in an embarrassing situation as I left home in my white sundress looking awesome (so I thought). I stopped by the cleaners to pick up items and as I was approaching I caught a glimpse of my blaring nude underwear showing through my white dress. Mortified… The Lingerie Fit Expert was a potential magazine article of “Don’t Do This”! So what was the problem? The nude was not my shade. I scrambled home and went searching through my drawer. I tried nude, I tried black, it was still a train wreck. Finally, the answer came when I pulled out a pair of chocolate brown thongs. It matched my skin tone, and disappeared under my clothes.

Do you have your own not so special moment? I am sure we could swap story after story. When you’re shopping for underwear, remember to think past just nude, black or white. Think about shades and tones you may have not considered before to prepare for wardrobe malfunctions. Everything does not have to be totally seamless. A touch of lace at the right locations on underwear is totally fine. You want to own at least 10 or more pairs of underwear and now companies are giving incentives such as $1 off each pair for buying three or more. No more excuses and emergencies. Your covered girlfriend!

Trends – Vintage Inspired

Posted on April 19, 2010 in Bras We Love, Panties Tags: Bra, Clothing, Lingerie, Panties, Undergarment, Underwear, vintage, Women's

Wacoal 855186

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.

Wacoal 841186

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.

Jezebel 14805

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!

Lingerie Chic – Daywear/Playwear

Posted on April 12, 2010 in Camisoles, Panties, Sexy Lingerie, Shapewear Solutions Tags: Camisole, Clothing, Ed Hardy, Josie Natori, Lingerie, Panties, Shopping, Undergarment, Underwear

In the mid 90’s designer and icon Josie Natori began a line of lingerie camisole tops that you could wear out. At first, my clients did not understand the concept. They would always ask, is this to be seen? I would always be so excited to show them how to incorporate the tee into their wardrobe. I personally rocked an orange v-neck camisole of hers for years!Spring is a time to be creative in your shopping.

Ed Hardy 1083-FSBG (click for details)

If you have a limited budget, you can make an item like a tank top go a long way. It can become a layering piece or a daywear top for the right jeans or skirt. I personally use more lingerie solutions than I do ready wear now because I get so much more for my money.

Advice: On a budget? Reinvent your entire wardrobe by purchasing three or four key camisoles. Select different styles including no sleeve, long sleeve, prints and solids. You will be amazed how your wardrobe will look brand new!

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! Get fitted by a professional in your town, or click on the link to some of the recommendation seen on Extra.

Color Watch Story Lingerie – Gray. The New Neutral

Posted on January 15, 2010 in Bras We Love, Panties, Sexy Lingerie Tags: Beige, Bra, Color, Lingerie, Panties, Pewter, Silver, Underwear

Fantasie 2182 (click for details)

I bought a handbag a couple of months ago. When purchasing I sort of stepped back, looked it over and pondered if I would use the bag all the time because of the color. It was gray and I never owned anything in this color. I became confident with my choice as women and men complimented me on my bag. Wow, it’s a winner! It caused me to look at other options for my discovery of this very sophisticated color. I noticed that I could put the bag with multiple colors from dark to light.

Fantasie 2185

How perfect for us women who want a new color that goes beyond beige or nude for lingerie. In the case of the Fantasie Full Figure Set, you can mix this into your black or khaki color story. You will find the color gray in a variety of tones. Dark pewter to light silver is the palate range. Instead of selecting your normal black, white and beige try gray!
