Think this collection suits you? To answer that question, Chantelle has also put together a 60th Anniversary poem describing the brand’s typical diva-like customer:

“Subdued lighting,
precious and delicate fabrics,
a subtle fragrance—all my senses are awakened.

Burning with sensuality, a luminous beauty,
I cannot forget this woman who was exquisitely Parisian.
Simply my imagination,
a melody still echoes in my mind.

She waits for me, mysterious, sure of herself.
Her look is full of promises.
Sensual diva, voluptuous beauty,
she is the embodiment of grace and seduction.

Free expression of her body, the outline of her curves,
she is radiant.
My desire burns
as I delightfully discover her sweet secrets.

In love, radiant, daring…
she is distinctly Chantelle.”

Chantelle's Africa in Eclipse

We know that the Africa collection by Chantelle is a favorite of TLP readers – the shorty was one of the most popular panty style chosen in our recent Freshpair giveaway.

Fans will be happy to know that Chantelle has revamped the collection for the fall, and is now offering a new version of Africa. The tribal-inspired styles are now available in “Eclipse,” a silver and black combination that makes for truly stunning and unique pieces.

This new version of Africa is available at Nancy Meyer. The demi bra is $98, the G-string is $36, and the shorty is $58

The original Secrets From Your Sister is located at 560 Bloor Street West (at Bathurst).  The recently opened location is located at 2501 Yonge Street (at Eglington).  See here for maps and store hours.  Don’t forget to establish a customer file when you make your purchase.  It will be accessible at both stores for convenient shopping!

And, all new SFYS customers who shop at the Yonge Street boutique between now and November 30th will receive 20% off their first bra purchase!  Happy Shopping!

Thanks to Jen Aaron for the gorgeous photos below from the new Yonge Street store.  

Ivanka Trump and Kirstie Alley like the Elle Macpherson Intimates Coranto Contour bra, a demi bra with delicate lace and molded underwire cups. Beyonce was also featured in Blender Magazine wearing this bra.

Eva Longoria included Elle Macpherson Intimate’s Dentelle Countour Bra in her wedding trousseau, and Katherine McPhee wore it in Stuff magazine.

Katherine Zeta Jones wears Sassybax’s Torso Trim Camisole while filming movies to smooth her figure and whittle her waist on the big screen. You thought that stunning figure was natural, but she actually has a little help!

Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpon, and Rebecca Romijn all love Honeydew. Paris goes for the Rumba Panty while Jessica and Rebecca prefer the Mesh Boyshorts. They had better stock up; the style is being discontinued and it’s on final sale!

Even Jessica Alba welcomed some help from Spanx in “The Fabulous Four” to look her best in her costume.

Nicole Kidman is reportedly a big fan of Hanro panties, and even personally chose the Simply Satin V Camisole and the Simply Satin Hi-Cut Briefs to wear in “Eyes Wide Shut.”

The absolutely gorgeous Chantelle Africa collection is a favorite of both Hillary Swank and Emmy Award winner Mariska Hargitay. Hargitay’s favorite color is Ebony, which definitely shows off the delicate detailing.

Dolly Parton, who is notoriously unashamed of her assets, still knows that sometimes you don’t need to advertise everything. She has reportedly bought hundreds of Fashion Forms Satin Breast Petals.

DD+

We wanted to make shopping our catalog fun for fuller busted women. So we filled the book with great DD+ bras, and put a little orange “DD+” icon to really highlight those styles. One highlight was the Aragon balconette bra and thong set from Harlequin, a new brand that understands full busted women want luxury too. Full busted shoppers looking for fun, flirty bras (without having to sacrifice any support!) really took to the Arabella plunge bra from Freya. And we’re getting great feedback from our DD+ customers on Ultra lift strapless bra from Va Bien. The patented boning constructed within the cups keeps the girls up and keeps you looking fabulous all day.

Your Summer Bag of Tricks

We devoted a half page of our catalog to Pure Style Girlfriends, so we could show off this new designer of fun wardrobe solutions. Plenty of ‘oh, I didn’t know they made that’ styles that are perfect for summer fashions. Such as Stay Put Double Sided Fashion Tape to keep everything in place (pre-cut in a cute dispenser that is small enough to fit in most purses), or the Haute Stuff Underarm Liner, to prevent unsightly stains on your clothes.

No matter what they say, I still haven’t found a black dress friendly deodorant, so the new underarm liners are key to dancing your summer nights away. Pure Style Girlfriends offers seven different wardrobe solutions in all.

Under Summer Whites

Want to look great in white pants this summer? It’s all about the foundation. Such as Spanx High Falutin’ footless styles, perfect for under long and Capri length pants. Or Spanx footless panty hose, to provide shape from your mid-riff to your thighs and rid you of VPL. Love your white shorts or skirt?? Try Commandos CYA Panty. This laser cut seamless panty is virtually invisible underneath clothes. And of course, summer whites evoke simple luxury. Our catalog features the newest collection from Hanro, Cotton Sensation. The combination of the finest fabrics and classic silhouettes makes this group truly irresistible.

If anyone knows the labels she’s wearing, let me know! *okay, we have this info now thanks to Sara from Nordstrom, check below!

1: The leopard print set is by Felina. It’s a push-up, and it also comes in a strapless. As you can see, it has a deep plunge, but my goodness! It’s hard like a rock! *lol*

2 and 3: Now in the next two, the black and lavender, are by Wacoal. I haven’t tried the black one (love its non-molded sister, though!), but the lavender is a push-up. When it comes to Wacoal’s push-ups, I have to go down a size. Well, at least, I do.

4: It’s the strapless sensua by Chantelle. Great fit! I love bringing this in fits.

And finally, 5: This is a set by Calvin Klein.

Thank you so much Sara, and thanks to Nordstrom too, obviously!
