This coordinated set is perfect for a day or night of relaxing at home. However, the separates are so versatile that the cami and wrap could easily be worn over jeans for a day of shopping or errands.

The rest of the current sheandme collection features more tops, bottoms, and sets in a color palette including the tasty colors of champagne, chocolate, and vanilla in addition to sage, platinum, and blush. To find out more, see the sheandme website. Sheandme is sold at retailers throughout North America and online.

At the Curve NY show, I was able to view the Fall 2008 collection. And believe me, it does not disappoint! Rich fall colors like navy, maroon, and burnt orange are not only used as solids for the signature modal/silk collection, but are also incorporated as a new colorway for the sheandme print. In addition to new, beautiful colors, also be on the look out for new sheandme styles like a chic racerback chemise (with build in shelf bra!) and a cover wrap that looks great with jeans and also doubles as a robe.

So what do you do until those great pieces are available? Check out the amazing colors and cozy items available now. And soon, just in time for spring, look for sheandme in great pastel colors. Click here to find stores where sheandme is sold.

We look forward to bringing you even more giveaways in ‘08!

Prepare to start your New Year off in comfort and style! Good luck!

I am one of the newest fans of the barely-year-old line, sheandme. Named after its very talented designers, Shirin Azad and Mitra Sanai, this intimates and loungewear line is known for what its tagline claims, “sexy comfort.” While I haven’t had a chance to try out their fun and functional collection, I was able to view many of the versatile pieces up close and personal and feel the smooth, buttery silk modal. In such a short time, sheandme (pronounced she – and – me) has established itself in the industry because, as according to the designers, they listen to their customers and respond to their needs for classic, but stylish basics. But just because the camis, chemises, and capris are basics, doesn’t mean they are basic! Designed for today’s modern woman who is balancing the demands of work, family, friends, hobbies, and home, a number of pieces (like the camis) can double as outerwear making them an essential element to your wardrobe. I am already eagerly anticipating the holiday collection. Cute and cozy, it’s perfect for a night of snuggling up by a fire, so be on the lookout at a retailer near you or online.

As if that wasn’t enough, these innovative ladies are going green and creating an organic collection made of 100% organic cotton for all you eco-friendly girls out there! The hoodies, lounge pants, shorts, boyshorts, and more will be available in natural as well as colors.

Even better, sheandme demonstrates its devotion to empowering women not just through its comfortable and fashionable intimates, but also by featuring positive affirmations on their care labels. Additionally, they also are contributors to including their feature charity, The Tahirih Justice Center. This organization addresses the need for legal services for immigrant and refugee women fleeing abuse. So if you are an especially eco-friendly or social conscious woman, you can feel confident purchasing from the sheandme collection. Not only can you buy sexy, comfortable intimates, but also know that part of the proceeds will be donated to improve the lives of other women.

Find out more about this great line and its talented designers on the sheandme website.

On a different note, my new favorite luxury line is that of Lavande SWK, Luxe Underpinnings & Intimate Apparel. Designed by Stacey Walker King, this collection of rich silk, lace, and chiffon is absolutely decadent. I particularly love the rich palette of colors from ink to midnight to crème. Such great attention to detail is evident in each piece of the collection from the Swarovski crystal buttons to the eyelash lace trims. You are guaranteed to feel beautiful, sexy, and confident in these one of a kind, high fashion pieces.

This LA based line has a strong presence on the West Coast and will soon be prevalent on the East Coast I’m sure. In the meantime, peruse the Lavande SWK website to view all the goodies yourself and find out where you can get your hands on them!
