Curve NY and NY Showrooms Part 2: Fall Trends

by

Curve NY was a great chance to see the Autumn/Winter collections from some of our favorite brands (as well as some newcomers!). We know you will be falling for fall just like we are! See below for my Five for Fall (five trends + a special shout out to some brands to keep your eye on) and stay tuned to TLP for more on these brands in the upcoming months. Don’t forget to let so know what you think on Facebook or Twitter!

Color, Color Everywhere…

It looks like color will be pervading the drawers and racks of your favorite boutiques and department stores this fall. Color palettes include elegant and opulent jewel tones like deep hued purples, full bodied wines, and strong sapphires as well as rich and robust autumnal shades like spice, poppy, and olive. Even the absence of color makes a bold statement with luxurious, creamy colors like blush and oatmeal.

Favorite Brands for Color: Zinke, Brulee, Amulette, Affinitas, CLO

It’s All in the Details!

Prints are back! I’m a huge fan of prints from a little accent to a bold statement. This fall, prints are airy and ethereal and include feature everything from florals to birds to symbols. Other favorite details for fall include the timeless eyelash lace, cheeky ruching, flirty ruffles, edgy hardware, and pretty piping.

Favorite Brands for Details: Beautiful Bottoms, Marlies Dekkers, Lelo, ARI DEIN

Mix it Up

One of my favorite new trends is the concept of mixing and matching. For all you recessionistas out there, this is the perfect way to maximize your lingerie wardrobe. From camisoles, chemises, and robes in alternating colorways to solids and patterns with similar color palettes, there are limitless options for creating a unique look. With so many options, it will be tough to decide!

Favorite Brands for Mixing and Matching: HotMilk, Between the Sheets, La Fee Verte, Amulette

The Romper is Here to Stay!

I’ve proclaimed my love for the romper before and am glad it is here to stay! This fun and flirty silhouette continues to be a trend in many collections that speaks for itself.

Favorite Brands for Rompers: Else, La Fee Verte, Brulee, Zinke

Vintage Inspired Looks

Many brands are using classic looks of the past and reinventing them to be fitting for the modern woman. Long lined bras, high-waisted knickers, and wide straps are just a few of the details that characterize this look of years gone by.

Favorite Brands for Vintage Inspired Looks: Dirty Dolls, Made by Niki, La Filled’O, Else

How Do You Wear Your Marlies Dekkers?

by

Marlies Dekkers is often misunderstood and I want to help put a stop to that!  One of my favorite brands, Marlies Dekkers is often judged at first glance and seen only as that “S&M” brand and often deemed too racy for some customers.  Well, I won’t deny that the brand has a certain sex appeal, but it certainly transcends being just sexy.  Perhaps the confusion comes around how to wear your Marlies Dekkers.

Naturally, those infamous and intricate criss crossing straps are worth showing off.  However, Marlies Dekkers is designed to be worn in whatever way makes you feel comfortable, confident, and sexy!  For some women, that’s showing a little, for others it is showing a lot, and for others, it’s all about having your own little secret.  Whatever way you choose to wear your Marlies, know that you will be wearing it well because the fit is impeccable.

To show it off or not show it off?  That is the question!   The answer is up to you.  Want inspiration?  See the combinations below styled by the lovelies at Marlies Dekkers.  The four looks show you how you can pair your Marlies Dekkers for a multitude of looks.

New at Journelle

by

Just in time for the holiday season, Journelle welcomes four notable brands. 

TLP favorite, Marlies Dekkers, is now in stock at Journelle’s East 17th Street Location.  This CILA Award winning brand (recently featured on America’s Next Top Model ) never disappoints with its unique and intriguing designs and construction.  And new mommies aren’t excluded from the fun!  The Marlies Dekkers Maternity Bra is both fun and functional!  Don’t forget to pair with a matching panty. 

Also in stock are two ranges from Rosy, a new favorite brand of mine.  Both ranges from this classy and flirty French brand incorporate the signature Journelle color – purple!  Lovely!

Lavande SWK also makes its debut with a cheeky and sassy side-tie bikini.  Opulent silk in the front and airy chiffon in the back are perfectly paired to make this bikini both sugar and spice. 

And finally, for you fuller-cupped ladies, Freya!  Ladies through a HH cup can experience amazing fit and shape in this simple, underwire balcony bra.  Delightful!   

So get to shopping!  If you aren’t in the New York area and can’t stop by the shop, be sure to visit the webstore and make your purchases there.  Or refer the certain someone in your life to your favorite pieces!  After all it is the season of giving.  Enjoy!
