Feelin’ Sexy – What Is Your Color?

Filed in Dating | fashion | Products | Self Love 4 Comments

I was sitting here this morning trying to come up with something to write about.  On Wednesdays we like write about something sexy (it is “hump day” after all!).  What was the first thing that came to mind? A customer’s question from a call I had a week or so ago.  She was new to the whole “lingerie thing” and wasn’t sure what to get.  So, I asked her what colors she likes and what colors she usually wears in blouses/tops, since that is a great starting point for anyone unsure or slightly uncomfortable about buying sexy goodies.  She said that her wardrobe is mostly black, but that her eyes really pop when she wears blues or teals, and that she feels extra saucy when she wears red blouses and dresses.  So, we picked out a gorgeous deep teal chemise and robe, a couple very sexy red babydolls and a gorgeous red corset.  I even received an email from her after she got them, saying that she loved the way the teal complimented her eyes, and that she felt extremely confident in the red babydoll and corset. She said that even her boyfriend commented on how confident and sexy she looked! And that is really what it boils down to: Confidence is key.  Sometimes something as simple as “your color” can make you feel super confident and super sexy.

So, if you are ready to strut your stuff in something new, but aren’t quite sure what to get, just ask yourself: What is your favorite color when you want to feel sexy? What color helps you feel confident? :)

Which came first?

Filed in fashion | Products | Self Love 4 Comments

I’ve been thinking about something that reminds me of the age old question; which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Here’s the modern day question: Do you feel sexy because you wear lingerie? Or do you wear lingerie because you feel sexy? I still haven’t figured it out, but researching it sure is fun!

Unfortunately, in our society women are taught to focus on their flaws instead of their natural beauty. The more I embrace and celebrate my curves, the more confident I feel. All I know is, each time I play dress-up with a flirty petticoat or I lace myself up in that ever-so-hot Valentina underbust corset, I feel a little bit sexier! What’s your favorite dress-up outfit or sexy ensemble that makes you feel amazing?

A bra is not an extravagance. It is a necessity.

Filed in Behind the scenes | Products | Self Love Leave a comment

Ok ladies!  It’s been a week since my “New, New Years Resolution”.  Have you thought about what special something you are going to do for yourself this week?  If not, here is an idea for you!

This week I did something that was simple and easy.  I have been fighting it for a long time, but this week, I bit the bullet.  I did it and I feel so much better!

I bought a new bra.

Simple right?  But oh, what a change!!   The girls are lifted and separated.  I didn’t think it was going to make this much of a difference. I really don’t know why I waited so long.  It made no sense.  A bra is something I wear every day and I had not purchased a new bra since…umm…. I am really embarrassed; it has been over a year!  What is wrong with me?  Why do I do this to myself?  No one was suffering but me!

Here are the two bra’s I bought:

First of all, both bra’s are on sale right now, score!  Secondly, my blouses look better, my posture is better, and it was more than worth it.  You know what’s the best part? I don’t dread putting on my bra everyday like I used to.  Before I was constantly tugging, pulling and adjusting my bra.   And I could not wait to take it off when I got home!

Paying more for a bra is totally worth it.  Ladies – don’t wait like I did.  Do it today, buy a couple of quality bras that fit and build from there.

My new commitment?   Buy one every 2 months.  That is 6 new bras by the end of the year.

Life is too short to wear an old, ill fitting, ugly bra.  A bra is not an extravagance.   It is a necessity.

Go out to a department store or get online and buy a new bra today!

Remember – don’t wait for a special occasion to buy a new bra; TODAY is a special occasion!

P.S. If anyone needs help figuring out what bra size they are, feel free to call one of our lingerie consultants at 800.220.8878.  They helped me find the right size!

Oh, what a wonderful Winter!

Filed in Behind the scenes | Corporate Culture | Products 5 Comments

Well ladies, Winter is quickly approaching! We have had our Halloween fun (oh what fun it was! Especially with sexy H&C costumes galore in the office), we’ve set the clocks back, and we’ve had our fill of Thanksgiving (literally). We’ve put our shorts in the closet and pulled out our jeans and sweaters (well, I am in Cali- winter coats may be a bit too much).  ;-)

Every Fall/Winter it happens to me.  Those of you on the East coast may think that a West-Coast-Winter is nothing to worry about, but when we go from 100 degrees straight into a 50 degree evening I am desperate to rummage through my closet for some warm snuggly pajamas and a nice comfy, cozy robe.  And I think that no matter where in the country (or world!) you are, there just isn’t much that beats the feel of cozy jammies and a soft, warm robe.  Just picture it, a comfortable long sleeve night shirt or cuddly oversized wide neck tee and a luxurious robe wrapped around you as you sit in front of the fire sipping warm apple cider or some indulgent hot cocoa.  Heavenly idea, right??

And to my glee, what do I see on HipsandCurves.com this season?  New comfy oversized tees, soft snuggly shawl robes and the most adorable and soft ruffle wrap robe! I am ecstatic.  I know what you’re thinking; I am a cheese-ball. It’s silly to be so excited over comfort.  Who really cares about sleepwear?  Say what you will, but honestly nothing gets me quite like cozy jammies.  They are my addiction.  I can’t even tell you how many pairs of PJ’s I have.  And don’t even get me started on slippers… *giggle*

So, with much pleasure and joy, I recommend a close look at our new robes, tees and sleep shirts, as they will certainly warm your heart (and body!) this winter.  I am thinking of going as far as to revisit the idea of pajama Fridays at the office.  I wonder if I can get the gals to join me in the cozy comforts of a super-casual Friday?
