CILA Brand Feature: Sheandme

by

Sheandme Intimates, featured numerous times on TLP, is another participant that will be featured on August 4th at the CILA Gala. Known for sexy comfort, sheandme takes basic pieces (hoodies, lounge pants, chemises, and camis) and makes them luxurious by using the softest modal and adding flattering, feminine details.In the Best Robes/Loungewear category, sheandme will be featuring its shelf-bra cami, crop-length pant, and tie wrap in navy (with rose charmeuse silk accents).sheandme tie wrap

This coordinated set is perfect for a day or night of relaxing at home. However, the separates are so versatile that the cami and wrap could easily be worn over jeans for a day of shopping or errands.

The rest of the current sheandme collection features more tops, bottoms, and sets in a color palette including the tasty colors of champagne, chocolate, and vanilla in addition to sage, platinum, and blush. To find out more, see the sheandme website. Sheandme is sold at retailers throughout North America and online.

Stay tuned. The winners for Best Robes/Loungewear and the other categories will be announced after the award show on August 4th!

Bamboo Bliss: Eden Collection by Cosabella

by

If you couldn’t already tell, I’m a huge fan of eco-friendly lingerie. Here’s a closer take at the Eden collection by Cosabella which features silky smooth bamboo fabric.Eden by Cosabella - Cami and Short in SageThe Eden collection consists of lingerie and loungewear with your ultimate comfort in mind. Pair a cami or another top with shorts or pants. Coordinate with a matching low rise thong. These natural, cozy (and antistatic!) pieces are available in the yummy garden hues of corn, carrot, sage, radish, earth, and onion. Choose one or choose them all. Each low rise thong comes individually packaged in its own minibasket.

So why bamboo? Bamboo is a naturally absorbent fabric that absorbs four times more than cotton keeping you comfortable and dry on even the most humid nights. Due to its mineral content, bamboo is odor preventative and stimulates the wearer’s blood circulation. Additionally, bamboo is antibacterial, breathable, and cool making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants to feel good on both the inside and outside.

Eden by Cosabella - Low Rise Thongs in MinibasketsThe biodegradable bamboo used in the Eden collection is light, but resistant due to the advanced knitting techniques used to create the material. Micro-modal is added to the bamboo to enhance the natural shine and fall of the fabric. Modal is also a 100% natural product, made of beech wood, making the garments fully natural and fully recyclable. Not that you would be recycling them any time soon! The modal also contributes to the ability of the garments to withstand wash and wear, which means you’ll have them for years to come.

The Eden collection will be available this July. However, you should enjoy the many other comfortable, fun, and fashionable pieces by Cosabella including the newly released Sex and the City collection I told you about a while back. This collection includes the Charlotte group which also features bamboo fabric. Purchase online at Bare Necessities or Chic Mystique and at boutiques and major retailers near you. See the Cosabella site for more details.

Sheandme Intimates Update

by

I don’t have to tell you (because I’m sure you already know) how big of a fan I am of sheandme intimates. Specializing in “sexy comfort,” sheandme should be a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. One of the reasons sheandme pieces are so great is that the pieces are intermatching and versatile.sheandme wrap and print crop fall 2008

At the Curve NY show, I was able to view the Fall 2008 collection. And believe me, it does not disappoint! Rich fall colors like navy, maroon, and burnt orange are not only used as solids for the signature modal/silk collection, but are also incorporated as a new colorway for the sheandme print. In addition to new, beautiful colors, also be on the look out for new sheandme styles like a chic racerback chemise (with build in shelf bra!) and a cover wrap that looks great with jeans and also doubles as a robe.

So what do you do until those great pieces are available? Check out the amazing colors and cozy items available now. And soon, just in time for spring, look for sheandme in great pastel colors. Click here to find stores where sheandme is sold.

Papinelle Now in the U.S.

by

I love that lingerie connects women and trends from around the world. Australia has brought us many trends and now they are bringing Papinelle to the other side of the globe! Papinelle, currently retailing at Fred Segal and Anthropologie, is a line of versatile, feminine lounge and sleepwear. The signature look of Papinelle is one that intergrates comfort and style. I am a fan of the delicate, cotton and modal nighties and slips. Perfect for sleeping or lounging, these lightweight pieces, like the Fairy Blossom Nightie, are just the right amount sweet with simple ribbon and lace detailing. For more coverage, try the Tinkerbell Pants and Cami. They look comfy and cozy!

Papinelle Penny Dress FrockThe Papinelle brand is more than just loungewear, it’s life wear! The comfortable, stylish, and flirty theme is also evident in the extras such as slippers, soaps, and candles as well as their newly introduced frocks. Papinelle is available online with shipping throughout the world. Unless, of course, you happen to be in Sydney, where you can stop by and see the complete collection along with the store-only goodies.

We hope you stop by our forums and chat about your Papinelle purchases very soon!
