Essential #1 has already been in heavy rotation for me since the temperatures in NYC have risen!  Why is this piece so critical? Well, first of all, the Commando Mini-Cami Slip is light so the extra layer isn’t bulky and because it is moisture-wicking, it doesn’t attract extra heat.  Furthermore, the hem is weighted so I don’t have to deal with the A-line shaped slip riding up.  My favorite facet, however, is the length.  Hitting mid-thigh, this little number is perfect under my shorter summer dresses.  Since most of those dresses are also made of lighter fabrics, the slip keeps me from showing all my business!

The Commando Mini-Cami Slip retails for $78 and is worth every penny.  There are a few left in stock at Journelle (where I got mine). You can also check out Bare Necessities which also has full and half slip options.  For the full collection (including the new Whisper Weight Half Slip),check out the Her Look website.  Happy Shopping!

For years, I struggled accommodating my full bust into swimsuits.  I tried buying XL tops in hopes of containing my assets, but because I’m so narrow around, the fit was never quite correct.  I could never quite tie the straps around my neck and back tight enough.  I could hardly enjoy myself because I was spending so much time fidgeting with my suit.  And then…I met Freya!

I couldn’t believe that fun swimsuits could actually fit!  Freya (and sister brand, Fantasie) swimsuits are bra-sized and designed to fit a wide range of sizes.   Freya and Fantasie are sold at leading retailers including Bare Necessities, Linda’s, Town Shop, Asos, The Little Bra Shop, and Brastop.

Oprah’s ‘Must-Have’ Bootights at Bare Necessities! http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/2011/01/new-oprahs-must-have-bootights-at-bare-necessities/ http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/2011/01/new-oprahs-must-have-bootights-at-bare-necessities/#comments Sun, 16 Jan 2011 11:31:36 +0000 Krista http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/?p=16546 If you are like me, you frequently pair your fall skirts and dresses with tights and boots.  And, if so, you know that to battle the dropping temperatures, you must add a pair of socks over your tootsies to keep them warm out in the elements.  Not the cutest look ever, but practical.  Well, some very clever people have made this dilemma obsolete with their revolutionary legwear solution, Bootights!

Recently featured on Oprah’s Fashion Must Have List of 2011, this innovation is quickly becoming all the rage.  According to Lady O (who showed off style #101), Bootights are ‘the must-have that will revolutionize your closet, much like SPANX.’ The product is a combination tight plus a sock, all in one.  No more need to double-up and place a sock over your tights under your boots!  And, at $30, they’re a steal!

Head over to Bare Necessities where you will have access to many colors and textures (from opaque and pinstripe to fishnet and sheer diamond) to perk up any winter ensemble.

Let us know when you purchase them!  Tell us all about it on our Facebook page or reply to us on Twitter.  Happy shopping!

And yes, even we can get bikinis that don’t look like they are for grandma!  Brands like Freya, Fantasie, and Panache make it possible.  I am currently eyeing a few by each of the brands.

And who ever said one pieces aren’t sexy?  The latest styles showcase all the right curves while providing a little extra coverage.

With the success of women’s swimwear on the site, Bare Necessities has decided to expand to include men’s swim!  Brands include Nautica, Polo Ralph Lauren, Hurley, and Tommy Bahama.  With a wide selection of choices from board shorts to briefs to trunks, there is something for every man.  This makes for easy, one-stop shopping for you both.

It seems like almost everyone these reaches for their Hanky Panky thongs as their daily underwear! But now you can start wearing the brand’s signature lace for steamy nights in, too. Hanky Panky has just released the After Midnight collection, which is full of naughty styles in seductive colors. The After Midnight collection includes 15 risqué styles including open cup bras, crotchless panties, a teddy, a garter skirt, and more.

Right now much of the collection is exclusive to Bare Necessities. Lida Orzeck, co-founder of Hanky Panky, said:

“We’re working on extending our popular signature lace fabric into a sexier collection of lingerie called ‘After Midnight’, and we wanted to see what would happen if we pushed the envelope a little further. Partnering with BareNecessities.com for this launch allows us to trial this product in a limited way but yet still achieve national distribution.”

Has anyone tried this collection yet?

Shock Absorber has 2 ranges of sports bras – the classic, Core range and the newly introduced sport-specific range designed to meet the unique support needs for Run, Ball, and Racket.  What I love about all of the bras produced by this UK brand is that they are each crafted as a result of scientific and technological research.  On the website, you can view ‘The Bounceometer’ which shows the results of exercise on the breasts with no bra, a normal bra, and the Shock Absorber bra in sizes A – G.  Results of the study showed that wearing a Shock Absorber sports bra reduces bounce by as much as 74%!  Knowing the struggles that I (and many of my female friends) have had with finding supportive sports bras, I was up for the challenge!

In my recent race, I tested out the Max Sports Bra Top (see photo).  Like the other Shock Absorber bras, this one featured breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that kept me cool for 10 miles.  The support was amazing!  I was impressed at how the internal shaping reduced bouncing without the addition of wires.  If it wasn’t for my legs and knees being ready to give out, I could have easily ran 10 more miles!  I loved the Max Sports Bra Top and look forward to trying out the Run bra next.  With features like a soft, seamless inner to reduce friction, ’Infinity-8′ design, and a soft, non rub hook and eye, it is definitely worth investigating.

I’m not really into the ball or racket sports, but for those of you ladies who are, I’d love to hear your feedback on the Ball and Racket bras.  The Ball bra is designed with ‘Arc-Control’, front adjustability, and an extra wide chest band to provide bounce control for high frequency sports like volleyball and basketball while the Racket bra is designed with ‘Dynamic-M’, front adjustability, and the innovative back strap glide device for freedom of arm movement.  Definitely worth investigating if you need that kind of focused support!

The complete collection can be viewed at the Shock Absorber website.  Check it out and find the fit that’s just right for you.  Gone are days of taping your breasts or wearing 2 non-supportive sports bras.  Invest in a Shock Absorber!  Retailing from $45-$68, it is definitely worth every penny.  Shock Absorber is found at some brick-and-mortar stores, but if you are like me and require a fuller cup, it is worth purchasing online.  Unfortunately, most department stores in the U.S. (and even specialty athletic stores) don’t carry sports bras past DD.  Try Bare Necessities or BoobyDoo.  For additional stores, check the Store Locator.

Happy running, balling, tennising, yogaing, aerobicizing, and more!
