Support Breast Cancer Awareness

September 11, 2008 by Krista

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here are two ways you can look good and feel good about your purchases.

Help Hanky Panky reach its $10,000 donation goal by purchasing a Breast Cancer Awareness Thong. The pink thong (available in both original and low rise) is adorned with a Swarovski-encrusted Breast Cancer Awareness symbol. Hanky Panky will donate $2 from the sale of each Breast Cancer Awareness Thong to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Susan G. Komen for the Cure works to save lives and end breast cancer. Do your part by purchasing the Hanky Panky thong at Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue.

Support Smart & Sexy in its initiative to also raise funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. $1 from every specially-marked pink garment sold in October will go to this amazing cause. See a sampling of some of the products below. With such a bang for the buck, you can stock up and save lives! Purchase here. Additionally, you might also be interested in knowing that the great team behind Smart & Sexy will be participating in the race as a company.

Hats off to both Hanky Panky and Smart & Sexy for their efforts!

Yummie Tummie Tanks – Oprah’s Top Pick!

May 20, 2008 by Krista

Back in March, guest blogger, Heather, of Bare Necessities, first introduced us to the brand Yummie Tummie in her very informative post about shapewear. Since then, Yummie Tummie has made quite an impression on the intimate apparel market as well as on media maven, Oprah! Recently featured on Oprah’s Top Picks for Summer (with special guest Heidi Klum), Yummie Tummie shaping tanks are unique in that they are designed to be seen! Look sleek, slender, and sexy in your choice of 10 colors including black, white, chocolate, red, navy, and nude!

Why else should you own a Yummie Tummie tank? Well, the tank is made of a slick, soft cotton, so is naturally comfortable and won’t cling to your clothes. The fabric also features moisture-wicking so you will stay cool and dry. The longer silhouette means you won’t have to deal with that annoying roll up that often plagues us all when wearing tanks.

The Yummie Tummie Tank featured on Oprah is available in both a hip length and a long length style. Other styles include a Basic T, Strappy T, and Basic V (with a Nursing T on the way – preorder at Bare Necessities!). Sizes range from XS – XL. Yummie Tummie tanks and tees retail from $62 – $82 and are available at over 600 retailers in the U.S. including Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus. Select international locations also carry Yummie Tummie. For online ordering, Bare Necessities has you covered.

Already purchased Yummie Tummie? Let us know all about it in our forums. Haven’t purchased yet? What are you waiting for?!

Either way, enjoy this clip of Yummie Tummie from the Today show :

Cosabella Celebrates 25 Years!

May 17, 2008 by Krista

So, most of my recent Cosabella coverage has been about the coveted Sex and the City collection. However, perhaps even more notable, is that Cosabella is celebrating 25 years in the industry! Now that’s a reason to celebrate! In the past 25 years, the brand has evolved from providing bodysuits and its signature Soire thong to offering an extensive intimate apparel and swimwear brand. In honor of this remarkable occasion, the brand is launching the Valeria collection (in homage to president and founder, Valeria Campello designed by husband, Ugo Campello).

The Valeria collection is made of a delicate, black mesh with intricate, metallic silver embroidery. Fitting of a silver anniversary! Swarovski crystals adorn the fabric for a rich, opulent look. The balconette bra is quite a stunner! Pair with a g-string or bikini. Complete the look with the elegant and amazingly chic chiffon robe. And because this is such a monumental milestone, pieces from the collection will be embellished with a special hangtag signifying the anniversary.

Arriving in August, Valeria will be sold at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, and Henri Bendel among other department stores and boutiques nationwide.

Passport Panties!

March 22, 2008 by Krista

If you are like me, you are itching for winter to be over – to pack away the boots and sweaters and trade them in for sandals and tanks! You are also ready for spring because that means you are one season closer to summer and bathing suits and, of course, trips!

What does every jet setter need as she travels from city to city or continent to continent? Passport Panties! I first mentioned these back in May after I saw these on a trip out to California.

Perfect for yourself, or as a gift, your boyshort or thong comes neatly packaged in a custom, protective box resembling a passport case. Passport Panties can be purchased on the website, at Neiman Marcus, and a variety of boutiques worldwide. See the website for a location near you.
