That was my reaction when I first laid eyes on the leopard print loveliness of this beautiful bodycon dress, except I said, “oooh what is this, and can I get me one”! And get me one I did! I just knew that the print would help to add more volume to my slim silhouette while the figure hugging style would accentuate all my curves!
Absolutely love this capri, specially for running/lifting/biking outside - all exercises that I like to listen to music! I have to “dance” a little to put it on because it’s a compression capri, but once it’s on… it’s super comfortable. I would think being so compressed it would give me a muffin top, but it doesn’t. To run, I have tried the arm band to put my phone but the velcro part keeps getting stuck on my shirt usually. I have also tried the fanny pack but that keeps bouncing since I always have my iPhone and keys inside. The side pocket on this capri is perfect! I can put my phone and keys with no problem and they stay in place… also, it’s super easy to take the phone off to skip a music I don’t like and put it back.

The model is shown with the waistband showing. I found I like wearing it with the waistband tucked under or even tucked into pants like a t-shirt. It’s very cute and great for inversions in yoga (it doesn’t fall around my face like a regular t-shirt would when I’m upside down).
Push Up Tankini with Hotpants. Super cute suit! Draw string under the boobs, you pull it, then tie the bow, and your chest looks great! Shorts are pretty short, and they roll up a little, but it doesn’t bother me at all! Fits appropriate to size, http://amzn.to/1NcEiVz
Perfect fit, feminine styling, great silhouette. I love the pinwhale corduroy, soft, and washes up beautifully. This top is also a perfect length, not too long, as often is the case with many of the plus size tops.
The top is very very nice..As one other reviewer reported the small was slightly large, not too big, but because I sew, I took it in a little in the arms and sides and it is perfect. It’s really different and I know I will enjoy it! http://goo.gl/8Sq7iV
The quality of this top is very nice, its beautiful. However, I’m returning it because it is too big on me. I’m 5'2 103 pounds and it is perfect on my chest and arms but very loose on the waist. http://goo.gl/8Sq7iV
Love this skirt ! I ordered this item on the 12th of December and it came on the 20th . This skirt is super cute and comfy ! It hugs your curves and fits in all the right places ! I would definitely but this skirt again in another color ! http://goo.gl/SQ2Xgz
Love the skirt. Love the color. Perfect for wearing to work, traveling, hanging out. I have this in two colors and it was all I wore for a week’s trip to New Orleans in the summer. http://goo.gl/XaoAwf
This skirt is super cute. The material is a bit thin but not see thru. It’s perfect for fall or mild winters only due to thinness of material. To give an idea of sizing, I am 5'9 and 159 pounds, my hips are 39’ inches. I ordered Large, fits perfectly and just below the knee. It hugs every inch tightly but you can move about comfortably and it doesn’t feel ‘tight’ and does not bag after wearing for hours on end. It holds its shape. The rust color is a beautiful burnt orange, perfect for fall. Think I will order the other two colors later I do own several other real suede skirts (size 8) and they do not stretch or have any leeway, however they are thicker material and satin lined. Shipping was fairly quick also. http://goo.gl/SQ2Xgz
Women’s Optical Jacquard Moto Jacket. i love this jacket it fitted exact and the material is lovely. will recommend.
To bell with boring shirts. The Anita Top is purple and features a keyhole cutout at center, mock neck, seams at chest, waistband, bell sleeves, zip closure at back, and stretch in fabric. Fully lined. Pair it with a velvet maxi skirt and platforms. Made in L.A.
Wow pattern and a face-framing silhouette make this Trina Turk tankini stand apart from the rest.
Perfect for any occasion, slip into this super sexy lace set featuring a crop top with adjustable straps and a tie in back. High waisted skirt has a hidden side zip. Both are lined.
I bought these last year and wore them throughout the fall and winter months. I really love them. They look tough and chic at the same time. I wore them with a denim tunic and Converse sneakers as well as with oversized sweaters and booties, and they worked well both ways. They are extremely versatile and can be worn in myriad ways. While they won’t pass for real leather, faux leather is now considered mainstream and Hue always has excellent quality items that are fairly priced and these leggings are no exception. I wear a size 8 and the medium fit me perfectly. They have a generous rise and are not low cut like other brands. They are very comfortable to wear on cool or cold days but can be a bit warm otherwise. The material is thick enough so that it thankfully doesn’t show every bump or bulge. They can be hand washed and hung to dry or even placed in the dryer for 10 minutes on the lowest setting (which gets out the wrinkles). All in all, I’m pleased with my purchase and will look forward to wearing them again this year. When I was shopping for faux leather leggings, Hue had the best quality of all and although they were a little pricier ($50), they were definitely worth it because they looked the most like real leather. I definitely recommend these Hue leggings.

After reading fashion and lingerie guides/blogs for so so many years, I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the items that “every woman needs in her wardrobe’. But honestly, when it comes to shopping for lingerie basics, it’s always been a bit of a slog. There such a different between ‘basic’ or ‘classic’ items. Sometimes you just finding yourself running around in circles trying to work out what the ‘best’ soft cup bra, comfy undies or tights are exactly?
Gilt are an awesome website I’ve mentioned before and absolutely adore. They sell off all of the samples and other sale pieces at ridiculous mark offs. Stock changes all the time but the reductions are always high so it’s worth a look.
As there are still some pieces which I noticed were definite deals to be had from some of my personal favourites, we’ve popped together our lacy picks for under $40! I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to purchasing quality pieces from top brands without the crazy price tag, if you’d like to learn more stay tuned over the next few weeks.
Miss Crofton is, for those who have been following along for a while now, a brand I’ve loved from it’s dawn. Well not quite that far back, but it was a case of coupe de foudre! Lingerie, like the first move in a romance should be flirtatious, charming, expressive, and avoid cliché – and the handmade pieces of Miss Crofton are impeccably right. Run by Georgia Campbell, Miss Crofton’s designs are not only of high quality, completely handmade and so darn gorgeous but also affordable. The piece we’re crushing on today is this lacy piece. This dainty bra comes in a soft cream colour that will look elegant against any skin tone. Feminine and fanciful, this will be an ever so pretty addition to your lingerie drawer.
What’s the best part about this time of year? Halloween. But also Elle McPherson and Stella having their massive end of season sales. Their sales are usually held around September after the other sales have just wound up (so make sure to set a little aside, because they’re always worth it. I’m talking reductions down to $15). Although now it is much past September (and so close to halloween!), there are still a number of items by Elle and Stella you can pick up for very very cheap! As well as my Elle and Stella affair, I’m also a big lover of lace and hater of the feeling of picking up a gorgeous lacy piece and realizing that it’s the same price as your rent… isn’t it actually the most disappointing thing? My general shopping philosophy is that I try to purchase meaningful pieces that are the best quality that I can afford (meaning not spending this months rent on a set and having to eat lentils for a month). I also try my best to buy from companies which I support as well as giving back to smaller brands (they need your help to guys!). Elle McPherson and Stella McCartney are two of my absolute favourites who I support throughout because of their high quality pieces, design and they truly last the test of time.
Corsets are fantastic and give your curves and puppies an extra ompf. We asked the incredible designer and lover of corsetry Karolina Laskowska, to give us her must knows and top corset tips to get the most out of your corset.
We usually just give you our top picks, but we’re mixing it up this week and giving you the whole range, JUST in case you have a particular brand in mind. Tell us what you think and if you like this way or the other way better
Andrée Ciccarelli has my whole-hearted vote! Not only is the lingerie itself ridiculously comfortable, but Andrée is the sweetest and most savvy business owner who has brought her line to the highest level of quality. I had the pleasure of working with her in the NYC Lingerie Fashion week runway show this past October and saw the brand in action! I believe in her and the pieces made me feel beautiful without being overdone. Simple and classic is the way to go and she has married the two. 2. How long have you been collecting? I recently started incorporating lingerie into my outfit choices! I had always thought of it being specifically for underneath, but honestly it’s just as fun out in the open, those pretty little scalloped edges peeking out. So I really only started collecting just within this past year but my collection has been
We’ve done many pieces on this in the past and have a few guides out there regarding buying luxury lingerie. I thought for once I’d share a few of my favourites for SS15 before it turns into AW15. While we are heading into next season, the great thing is that if, like me, you’re not quite ready to splurge on the below, these pieces will most likely be on sale in the very near future. So you can always add them to the lust list for later. (Also, if you’re in Europe and still looking for these pieces and really don’t want to pay for the huge postage, check out Oleanda. It’s my go to for Europe) Here it goes!
The Lingerie Guide How The High-Cut Stole Our Hearts December 15, 2015 There was a forgettable period of recent style that dropped waistlines to perilously low depths. Thongs and teeny strips of fabric were developed to make sure that while a butt crack may show, panty lines stayed hidden. If you were anything like me, even the vintage appeal of a high-waist was lost on those of a certain age, and any underwear that crept over the hips was deemed a “granny panty.” For whatever reason, the muffin top effect that these low briefs contributed to was more appealing than a higher cut. Thank god we all came to our senses. Now, I’m not saying that skimpy underthings certainly don’t have their place, but a high-cut bottom can be the most comfortable option for all different body types. I find that in a tighter dress that I don’t want to wear a slimming garment under, a higher cut brief tends to hold in those love handles a bit more, kind of creating a reverse muffin top effect. There is basically no body type that won’t be enhanced by a waist-defining and hip-minimizing cut. Going even further, some lines of slimming garments like Spanx and D’Mondaine have created their own high-waist panties, which is a great way to streamline curves under a pair of pants or in a tight garment. Not to mention, these days vintage styles are all the rage, and there is nothing that better suits a high-waist pant then a high-cut brief. Many brands established and new are coming up with creative ways to raise underwear waistlines, making sure there is a piece available within everyone’s budget and style. While typical granny panties were boring giant pieces of cloth, the modern high-cut brief comes in a range of styles that are perfect for any situation.
The Lingerie Guide The Last Minute Run Around | Wedding Night Lingerie December 22, 2015 Every bride has her perfect dress in mind, but with all of the other minute details that go into planning a wedding, sometimes wedding night lingerie gets forgotten. I got to experience this last year, when my friend called me in New York from her wedding venue in California absolutely freaking out because she forgot to buy lingerie. Now, I love pretty things and especially love buying them, but lingerie can be incredibly personal, especially when all I can think about is my best friends, well, using it. But of course I agreed, and then started to freak out. Luckily, the whole experience gave me some great insight on what to consider when buying wedding night goodies. BHLDN STARLET ROBE – $280 First of all, I had to think about my friend, and what her style is. Knowing that she liked simple styles but interesting cuts (and worked in fashion) helped me focus away from the complicated wedding night ensembles that are available. Instead, I opted for a simple sheer white chemise to give her something special, and focused on white bra and panty sets to spice up the look. Of course, that was the hard part! I know what I like in a bra, and luckily we are around the same size, so I tried on about 10 different options in a range of styles, including a few I wasn’t sure about. Of course, once I put them on, the ones I was least sure about ended up looking gorgeous, and it was easy to know which was the right one for my friend.

The recent expansion of the full-bust lingerie market has been a boon to women with larger busts, but well-fitting luxury pieces are still rare, particularly in sizes above a G cup. So imagine my delight when I stumbled across KH Intimates, whose Spring/Summer 2016 debut collection offers gorgeous, ethically manufactured lingerie crafted in sumptuous fabrics and laces, available in UK bra sizes 26-36 D-HH.
Sweet, stretchy lace halter bra by Out From Under with a comfy strap that goes behind the neck. Adjustable hook & eye closure at the back. Lined.

This high end French brand inspires confidence in women by providing sophisticated and seductive styles boasting a unique fit and flattering silhouettes. Their 5 key points: 1. Back Material – Empreinte’s specially designed and unique fabric from Germany allows the back of the bra to remain in place and not ride up. 2.

Cups – The cup’s fabric is rigid to ensure optimal support and comfort. Precisely cut blocked fabrics to create flat side panels and bring fullness of the breast to the front versus the side for an up and in shape. 4. Straps – The strap elasticity is reduced to 30% to offer extra support and comfort. 5. Underwires – Their underwire is a U shape to create a slimmer silhouette.

Everyone talks about the astounding statistic that nearly 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra or an ill fitting bra. At J’adore we see women everyday with complaints of bands that are too tight, too loose or riding up, straps that are falling off the shoulder, cups that are too big or too small, sagging or overflowing. The list goes on and on.
A personal favorite (the outfit, not the necklace ~ a tad too boring for my taste!). #PersonalLeadership #Women
You cannot go wrong with this swimsuit. It lets people know that you are a woman and shows them you are a lady. It fits comfortably and hugs you in all the right places. No pulling or tugging. Very flattering and due to the simplicity in design it will always be in style. The usual excellent quality can be expected like always with Miraclesuit products. Put this with a colorful sarong and you will look great, feel great and enjoy your time in the Summer. I might even buy a back up because it seems whenever I find something I like this much they disappear. http://goo.gl/J7jRbl
My teen loves this sleep shirt- and I love winning as her “personal shopper.” The fabric is super soft and silky and the style- with shirred shoulders and a V neck is a prettier than a basic sleep T. I am buying her another one. http://goo.gl/226nSE
I own several babydoll pieces of lingerie and many are from the brand Jezebel. Most lingerie I buy from Jezebel is not a let down and this piece is no exception. I own it in both black and red in a size small. I’m 5'4 with a small frame and 32D bust. This babydoll fits me perfectly, covers my bum and hits at the top of my thighs. The bra portion is comfortable enough to sleep in and does not dig into you while still giving you a nice lift (though it does not have any push up padding or anything). The back of the babydoll is fly away and very attractive. The panties do run a bit small but I do have a fuller bottom. The details of the babydoll; the pattern/texture are much prettier in person. The midsection is mostly sheer (which is always a plus with my husband ). In my opinion this is a nice addition to your lingerie collection; it’s sweetly sexy. Hope this helps. http://goo.gl/CvDu8N
You can’t go wrong with an Anne Klein. This blazer is a perfect fit; I ordered the size 12. The added quilt on the inside adds warmth. http://goo.gl/Np8ViI
This dress caught my eye so I decided to take a chance and buy it. I wasn’t sure what size to buy because you never know with online shopping so I just bought the same size as the model and it fits perfectly! I’m impressed with the quality of the dress and it looks great. This dress is very versatile so you can definitely get a lot of use out of it. I wish it came in other colors. I will say there is hardly any stretch so this dress can be unforgiving in that regard. I wouldn’t suggest trying to go smaller because I think the dress runs a smidge on the small side. http://goo.gl/hHnEaf
I really love the floral pattern on this blouse. However, the top is a bit short. I’m 5 ft 6 in and I ordered the extra small. The top fits fine, but is very short on the sides, so much so that about 1-2 inches of skin shows between the bottom of the shirt and top of my pants, even when not wearing low-riding pants. I think I’ll keep it, but I wish the shirt was a couple inches longer. I’ve never had a problem before with shirts being too short on me. http://goo.gl/SEDPid
Love this top for business or evenings. Comfy, light and soft fabric but looks thick and structured - best of both worlds. Highlights the waist well http://goo.gl/71i3HQ
I bought this in a size large (I normally wear a small) because it was a junior top. It fits me perfect and is just the right amount of flowiness to it. I am 5'7’’ and 130 pounds. http://goo.gl/FPAXFZ
I love this versatile top!! Feels wonderful, lays great! I am a busty (38dd), 59 year old, 5'2" 165lbs. I recently put on some weight after a hip replacement, bought this in an xl and wear it as a tunic. I did finally get to a store to try on a L, which would have fit even at my current weight if I wasn’t so busty. http://goo.gl/lrMKlz
happy with your service and the top http://goo.gl/ir1TZL
I love this dress but I got it as a Dana Buchman dress and It was half the price. http://goo.gl/8SIIvo
