Rosy Lingerie Update

October 12, 2008 by Krista

Back in the summer, Rosy debuted in the U.S. You saw photos from the launch on TLP. As promised, here are some of the great promotional photos from this fantastic French brand. Absolutely beautiful!

Diablotine is a sassy, yet elegant range featuring retro-striped satin. The complete look contains a padded bra (with ribbon and lace detailing), mathcing thong, and corresponding (and very sexy) waistcincher accented with lacing.

Sensuelle is a delightfully sexy set composed of tempting tulle and exquisite embroidery. Available in a wired bra and coordinating brief.

Enjoleuse is sweet and sophisticated. Made of soft microfibre, the range features a contrasting organza trim. Choose between a wired bra and molded bra and between high leg knickers and flirty thong.

Sentimentale is an opulent lace and taffeta combination. Both the molded bra and wired bra feature an organza knot in the center. Match with a brief or thong. And don’t forget the waistcincher to complete the look!

For more on Rosy, see the website. Rosy is available at stores worldwide. For you lucky NYC ladies, Rosy has recently arrived at Journelle. Enjoy!

Cosabella Sex and the City Collection: Launch Party Highlights & Fall 2008

May 27, 2008 by Krista

We are under a week until the movie of the year hits screens! Shown below are some photos from the Cosabella Sex and the City Collection Launch Party at Bloomingdales. The event was a lot of fun for all those attended. The first 100 attendees even received tickets for the NYC premiere of the movie on May 27th!

And if this hasn’t made your day, well, how about this? This fall, Cosabella will extend the Sex and the City collection to include new colorways and silhouettes!

The Fall Carrie collection will still retain a fun and fashionable essence, but will replace floral print tulle with scalloped edged lace. The cami, brief, and g-string all come in a gorgeous, vibrant pink called Lipstick. The Charlotte collection continues to use the amazingly soft and eco-friendly bamboo fiber. However, for Fall 2008, it is featured in Sage and incorporates a 3/4 sleeve top. Samantha takes sexy in a new direction with an animal print called Ocelot. The spotted print tulle is available in a bustier, low rise hotpant, and low rise thong. The hotpant and thong of the Miranda collection will remain, but a soft bra is introduced. All pieces will be featured in Cocoa with a Pink trim.

And that’s not all for the fall collection. Look for more details about the rest of the fantabulous fall collection in an upcoming post. In the meantime, channel your inner Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, or Miranda and start shopping! In addition to Bloomingdales and Bare Necessities, the collection can be purchased at Chic Mystique or the HBO Shop (which also has a number of other SATC goodies, including a very cute eco-friendly dry cleaning bag!). Click here to see video footage of a recent segment featuring the lingerie, dry cleaning bag, signature glassware, and more from New York’s CW11 Morning News.

Pfiff Spring/Summer 2008

April 29, 2008 by Krista

I’ve already mentioned my love affair with the new Pfiff Age of Innocence eco-friendly group. I recently had the chance to visit the Pfiff showroom and see not only that group, but the rest of the Spring/Summer Collection (Autumn/Winter too, but more about that later!). As expected, the collection does not disappoint by matching exquisite design and detail with elegant (yet, supportive and comfortable) fabrics.

Breadth of Serenity is just that indeed! A clean, white double layered mesh is topped with a vibrant, royal purple scrolling embroidery, which immediately transported me to the Mediterranean in my mind! The group has something to offer everyone. The lightly lined balconette bra accomodates cups A-D, while the lightly padded full coverage bra fits C-F cups. Both feature the delicate, scalloped straps as well as the coordinating organza bow with a crystal tear drop charm.

Bottoms include a g-string hipster, bikini brief, and boyshort. All of which include the organza bow detailing in addition to their own unique elements including additional embroidery, pleating, and a key hole. In true Pfiff style, you’ll not only look fabulous from the front, but from the back as well! The group is complete with both a camisole and chemise. Mix and match to create new, opulent looks every night of the week.

For the ultimate in sophistication, Dramatic Entrances pairs a soft, tactel microfiber with Leavers lace and mesh. The palest green is accented with an inky black in a group reflecting the Art Deco style. Again, amazing detailing is featured throughout and sizes A-F are provided options through the fashionable demi padded push up bra and lightly lined full coverage bra.

The tanga features a unique, lined mesh cut out detail in the back as well as a double banded side while the wide-side thong features detachable garters! For more coverage, choose the hipster. Additional options include a lightly padded underwire bustier and a chemise with an adjustable tie back. This group is so fantastic and detailed, it could have been called Dramatic Exits as well!

Of course, the Pfiff year-round, continuous collections (including Lavish Bouquet and Moments of Seduction) are always available in stores.

To purchase the new collection, you’ll have to wait a few more weeks, but the continuous collections and Autumn/Winter 2007-2008 are currently available in department stores (including Macy’s West) and boutiques. Online, shop at Star Boudoir.

More to come on the Autumn/Winter collection!

Shapeez Presents The Unbelievabra!

April 17, 2008 by Krista

New shapewear brand Shapeez has just launched its one-of-a-kind combination bra and body slimmer. Say goodbye to visible bra lines, back fat, and even the dreaded “muffin top” with this unique, shaping and slimming product. What makes this bra so special? Breathable microfiber with wicking technology to keep the wearer dry and comforable. Underwire, molded foam cups. Adjustable straps. No back bands or closures.

The Unbelievabra is available in a cropped style, the Mini as well as the Ultimate, a full length style for those who want more tummy control. All styles come in nude or black and accomodate sizes A – E (making for 25 different sizes!). Retailing at $75 for the Mini and $85 for the Ultimate, this product is truly worth the investment! Because this amazing shapewear garment is brand new, it is only available online at the Shapeez website or the As We Change (a San Diego based e-retailer) site. However, it is projected to be in more stores this fall (with additional shapewear products including minimizers and demi bras). I’ll keep you posted as more stockists are added. In the meantime, if you purchase an Unbelievabra, please let us know about it in our forums.

Still want more information? Go to The Unbelievabra website for more information about the product and designer, customer testimonials, and photos.

Fayreform Fall 2008 Preview

March 3, 2008 by Krista

How do I love Fayreform? Let me count the ways! Well, lucky for all of us full-cupped ladies, there are plenty of ways to count for fall. With a more fashion forward approach, the fall Fayreform collection, “Masterpieces” is inspired by the great master painters. Look for the collection to redefine elegance and sophistication without sacrificing the support that D-J cups require.

In August, the Pixelate collection is introduced. A new, everyday classic using a new balconette bra profile. Complete the look with the bikini (featuring ruching on the back seam) or thong. Made from a stretch mesh, Pixelate will be available in Black and White in August and in Crystal Rose in November. Another great addition arriving in August is Pigment. Leading the way as one of the first contour bras for larger cup sizes, this sophisticated style is made of a gorgeous diamond print satin. The matching satin bikini features mesh side panels.

Starting in September, more glorious masterpieces will hit the stores. Art Deco is an exquisite range as it meets style with comfort. The balconette bra and matching bikini, in a beautiful, soft neutral, Moonlight Fawn, are made of a soft microfiber and edged with a contrasting guipere embroidery. Delightful! Conceptual is a beautiful profile that accomodates through a G cup! Using modern and elegant eyelash lace in Crabapple Coral against a nude lining is flirty, but classy. With an eyelash lace front and mesh back, the bikini completes the look.

In October, introduce yourself to Perfection. This well-constructed, vertical seam profile gives the bust an amazing lift. In White Smoke, this stunner features delicate lace, piped seams, and adorable rosettes. October also welcomes Restoration, another bra in the new contour profile. Made of silky microfiber in Navy, the glamorous look is completed by the White Smoke eyelash lace and stretch ribbon detailing.

Calligraphy, arriving in November, is one breathtaking range! The Linen Cream fabric is accentuated with a “tattoo” embroidery in a rich turquoise. A satin trim completes the sweet and fashionable look. November and December will welcome back some of the favorite ranges such as Conceptual, Restoration, and Perfection in additional colors.

Want to see a few more looks? See below.

This beautiful collection hits stores starting in August. For now, enjoy the wonderful looks in stock now and work your curves! Find Fayreform at Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and other stores near you. See here for a list of stockists.
