n-fini Shapewear now at Saks!

September 22, 2008 by Quick Blurbs

One short year after its inception, a shapewear sensation has Saks Fifth Avenue smiling. With its seamless technology and one-of-a-kind knitting patterns, n-fini shape (named for the line’s infinite shaping options) has made quite an impression one of the country’s most influential retailers.

This fall, the luxury department store will carry a range of n-fini shape’s seamless styles (such as Camis, Bra Tops, Slips, Strapless Dresses, Bodysuits, and High-Rise Shorts), including two new silhouettes made exclusively for Saks. The line will be offered in black and nude in two sizes (S/M and M/L, with bra sizes A-D), which will be carried in 12 of the high-end retailer’s locations.

For some people, girdles and corsets may be a thing of the past, but slender shapes are more fashionable than ever. Unfortunately, most garments that are meant to cover, support, or tuck are hot, tight, and binding. “I wanted to create a shaper so comfortable that a woman wouldn’t simply be waiting to get home and take it off,” designer Martha Istefanidis explained.

To do so, Istefanidis’ Florida-based production facility used advanced knitting techniques, combining deluxe microfiber and spandex to create an extra-thin, light fabrication with an incredibly soft hand. The designer paid attention to every detail, employing innovative touches such as:

Tagless Labels
Anti-curl Hems
Low Profile Trims
Non-irritating Microfiber Elastics
Plush, Adjustable Shoulder Straps

The result: n-fini shape offers seamless, comfortable control in a garment soft enough to wear all day and sexy enough to wear all night. To see additional styles and find out more, visit n-finiShape.com.

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!

Commando Goes High Rise!

June 26, 2008 by Krista

With high rise jeans and skirts making a comeback and with a number of women wanting a bit more coverage while staying VPL-free, Commando has recently gone high rise. This new panty and thong are a great addition to the Commando family, a true favorite of mine!

On purchases made June 24th – July 6th on the Her Look website, enjoy free ground shipping on your entire order with the purchase of any Commando High Rise Panty or High Rise Thong. Use the code HIGHRISE in the coupon field at checkout. While the new high rise thong and panty are only available currently at Her Look, for the other Commando favorites try Bare Necessities online (that $5 shipping is probably cheaper than a drive to the mall these days!) or Saks, Nordstrom, and more.

Lingerie Americas – Fashion Forward

October 16, 2007 by Krista

This is my last of the Lingerie Americas series. Now, we’ll start seeing these exciting findings in the stores! Here’s the latest for those of you who like their lingerie flirty, fun, and high fashion. I am definitely a fan of Carol Malony. Beautifully feminine and fashionable, I adore the “Haute” collection. Such unique color choices and combinations make every piece absolutely stunning. For instance, my favorite, “Barely There,” features delicate tulle and lace, but with a pop of bling! Small stones adorn each piece. The straps and string of the thong provide an unexpected splash of color, in a vibrant salmon. A similar splash of color is featured in the elegant, “Hope Chest” collection. A cool ice blue stretch chiffon wtih sheer, ivory embroidery is accented with a punch of lime.

Collections feature bras, thongs, garters, corsets, and babydolls among other sexy little numbers. Look for these in the stores just in time for spring! In the meantime, check out the current Carol Malony pieces at Graffiti Pink and Gigi’s Closet online. Also, check Saks, Bloomingdales, and Neiman Marcus.
