Pss, Want to know a secret to the Best of Summer Lingerie?

July 14th 2008 18:05
You do, well let me tell you. There’s not much difference between Summer and Winter Lingerie. I would imagine that one major difference is the available fabrics, summer fabrics are light in weight and winter fabrics is heavy in weight. Nevertheless, all lingerie is excellent as long as it is sexy. Now, some lingerie is meant to be called plain, old ‘Sleepwear.’ In my book, for a piece to labeled as ‘lingerie’, it has to meet the qualifications of sexy. Cute, cozy sleepwear is just that, and I have no problem with that. I have some within my closet and it’s what I mostly wore during my co-ed college years. Now that I’m all grown up and married, of course, I would lean more towards the sexier lingerie, especially when it’s time for (you know what)


One of my favorite designers of lingerie and others probably would agree, is non other than Victoria Secret. One of the reasons that she has been around so long and has risen to the plateau of the lingerie world is her quality, design, color, fabrics and of course the Pss…. Factor. I bet you’re wondering what I’m talking about. The Pss… Factor is nothing but plain old ‘imagination’. Most of Victoria Secrets designs are sexy, but not slutty. They leave something to your significant others imagination and I’ve heard that is much more sexier than it’s counterpart. While some women and men are more attracted to a more ‘sluttier’ look (excuse my french), Victoria Secret has kept his core essence of providing luxurious and sexy lingerie to the masses, that also includes the Pss….Factor.




See this picture of a Victoria Secret ‘Sexy Little Things’ item, a nice ruffle trim lace, camisole and panty set. Don’t get me wrong, if your partner like’s a raunchier look, by all means, buy lingerie that is appealing to your mate. That is ultimately who it’s for right? But, if you’re single or just wondering about the best summer or the best lingerie out there. My bet in on good ole Victoria Secret. She’s never steered my wrong in providing cool colors, fantastic designs, soft fabric’s and also price. Compared to most couture lingerie lines, you could pay in the hundreds for a nice piece of lingerie. You can have the same awesome design and look, not lacking quality, but at a reasonable price. I’m always looking for the best find for me money, never compromising quality and design. Victoria Secret is no longer a secret to anyone!

The Gap, Inc. Get's New Thread's

July 12th 2008 03:42
The Gap, Inc., known for it's wide variety of preppy-hip-chic style clothe's, is not deviatiing far from their fashion script. Yesterday, July 10, The Gap, Inc., disclosed it's upcoming Holiday 08- Winter/Christmas clothing. Now, Banana Republic and Old Navy are also part of the Gap's major family. Even though, each store's style differ, they're still fabulous and they've unleashed a glimpse of what we have to look for from all three this Holiday season. See this from Banana Republic....



Banana Republic's, the top-notch line of the Gap, implementing a whole lot of glamour this holiday, with satin's, sparkle, glitz, bling and other shiny things. Mind you, this is all on their clothing. Cool. They'll have bright colors, traditional class, where holiday socializing and partying is concerned. If you're going to a lot of office events or even just fam events, you can DEFINATELY go this way!! Check out this from The Gap...



I see the Gap pretty much kept to their distinctive style. Preppy All-Star's, something my cousin whose in college would definately wear this fall. Plaid's, blazer coats, knit scarf's the whole shabang. I love it though, it give's a new chicness to their already fabulous and famous line. They're transforming, like most companies this 08/09 season. Face, in fashion and design, you definately have to keep up with fast moving, ever-evolving trends. Now check out this from one of my personal favorite's, Old Navy, yeah baby!!



For sure, Old Navy is sticking to it's trademark fav's, with flannel pajama's, sleepwear and scarf's. I love traditional Old Navy, don't you. I really love their price's above all. You can look like a basic supermodel or a somewhat, runway supermodel chick with Old Navy at really low price's. But, see this coat above from Old Navy, love it and a must have this winter. Quarter length, off-white coat, with multi-colored knit scarf, Old Navy at it's finest, just with a litter more, CHIC. Love it! Can't wait til Winter....

Have I found my one true pair of Jeans?

July 8th 2008 04:06
I am a young, bootylicious diva, who love's fashion, but in previous years, I've had the hardest time finding jeans that fit my perky look. Jeans were previously made for those of you out there, who are, you know, not bootylicious. I would consistently run across the problem of my jeans possibly fitting in the hips and legs, but gaping tremendously in the waist. I would often have to double loop my belt buckle to make it fit and look ok. But my friends, thank God for fashion geniouses and trailblazers. Many designers are creating fashion, specifically jeans, just for people like me. I guess it did help a little that Beyonce Knowles and her bootylicious video helped put us bootylicious women on the map. Mind you, Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mom and owner of clothing line, House of Dereon, claims that their signature jean is the best pair of jeans for us bootylicious chick and that they've designed it for us specifically in mind, even the gapped waist con.

I really don't know, because everyone has different body builds, shapes and figures. I've bought a pair of their jeans and I do truely believe that they def get an 'E' for effort. Ms. Tina Knowles did a great job with fixing our little jean problemo. Beyonce often wears these jeans from House of Dereon, face it, she is co-owner with her mom and spokesperson. Great choice I might add! Everyone love's Beyonce, her music, her style, her fashion and her personality. She's a bootylicious girl like myself and I thought, hay, they look pretty great on her, let me try a pair. They're also pretty reasonable,considering they are top notch fashion, including couture. They typically go for less than $300.00 but I might add it's not hard to find a pair under a $100.00, for all of you budgeteer's like myself out there.

The division of House of Dereon, called Dereon, cater's to us budgeteers who might not have the dinero's to pay for it's House of Dereon jeans. Ladie's if you're seeking to find that perfect pair of jeans to fit your unique build, size, spunk, personality and especially your 'purses', go here: Really Long Link Here, they will def get you hooked up with what brand, style, and type is best for your stats.

After I found out my Jean IQ and taste from the site above,I had to do additional research to find a great buy on my House of Dereon brand jeans. Dereon's brand jeans are for $100.00 or less. Hint: I found the pair of House of Dereon jeans(pic) for $98.00, which was half of the original cost. More info at www.theredlemonstore.com

Face it, we love to look GORGEOUS, without paying high fee's to attain it. So check out their website if you're bootylicious and see what they can offer you. Now for all of you out there that's now that bootylicious, I have something for you too. I found this cool site that makes it so simple and easy to find a perfect pair of jeans to fit your size, style, build etc. So as I always say, 'follow the yellow brick road trail and at the end'
they will give you a list of jean brands and more info regarding that perfect pair for you.

Have fun Fashion Friends!!

Where to find a GREAT BRA! Befitting to YOU

July 7th 2008 21:16
Now ladie's, I know that the title sound's a little cliche, but trust me, you won't be disappointed. Since high school, I've had the hardest time's finding a bra that fit's, fit's well and that is comfortable, so I know that other young women out there have encountered the same problem. When I would purchase a bra, I would run across:
1) too tight
2) too baggy/loose

5 Things you need to look 'green' in the red...

July 3rd 2008 05:45
Don't you love the Summer, but hate the Summer heat? I know I do. One thing that I try my best to do in the Summer is, 'STAY COOL', as I can at least. When the temp increases to above 100 degree's, it's pretty hopeless though. I stay in Texas, where our Summer's are real long and extremely hot. Fashionista's like myself, try to keep our apparel 'fierce', while trying to keep our body temps from rising. But when all else fails, you can't go wrong in the Summer with piece's where fabric is limited, if you get my drift. Light fabrics, shorts, etc, all in a day's work of keeping cool. Now, considering the condition of our planet, oil price's and global warming, our generation is trying it's best to buy and do things to change the way we treat our planet and all that it has to offer. One way is going GREEN! There's a lot of ways to go green, but my favorite way is of course, fashion. Yes you can go merge green item's within your Summer ward. I've put together my guest estimate/opinion of the 5 things you need to look 'green' in the red summer heat.
More like items that I've put together..

How to Find Designer at 60% Off or more

July 2nd 2008 06:32
Who said that just because we are not famous celebrities or socialites, we can't look sharp or 'fierce.' That we can't shine in the glory of looking 'hot.' We definately can, we can! When shopping, I like to find the best deals and quality for a great price. Who doesn't like and want to wear designer, that is, clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories and more. Everyone would like to look their best as pertaining to society and our culture. I recently went on a search to find the best site(s) or store's to find the best designer's at the lowest price possible. Travel with me.....

First of all, shopping on line is alway's the best way to find cheaper items

June 28th 2008 04:35
I've been asked a lot for opinion on what to wear and what not to wear this summer. We all wan't to be in fashion and in line with current Summer 08 trends, but we can do without the fashion mishaps or miscommunications. The definition of fashion miscommunication is wearing an ensemble or piece of fashion because you might have seen someone else wear it or 'do it' that way. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS PEOPLE!!!! So I've brainstormed my own personal list of Summer fashion do's and don'ts.

Do's:

Check my SHOE WORK!!

June 23rd 2008 23:30
I LOVE SHOES!! I think I may be totally obsessed with shoes. I REPEAT, I LOVE SHOES!! I really don’t know how many pair I currently have, but trust me it’s a LOT(LOL)! But what young woman doesn’t like shoes. All sorts of shoes. Shoes give me that tingly feeling on the inside, you know, that ooooohhhhhh, aaaaaahhhh, feeling. Let me stop. Everyone has something. A food fetish, a banana fetish, well I (and many of you) have SHOE fetishes. If I don’t have enough money to buy that “me” outfit, I will settle investing a great pair of manolo’s, pump’s, boots or hills. Anyday…..

I recently saw Sex in the City, the movie with Sarah Jessica Parker and oh baby the Shoe!!!!!! See, that’s what I love about chick flicks, though I don’t like all. But at least chick flicks cater to us, women. A great flick with display great style and fashion, something most of us respect and draw from. The main type of shoes displayed in the movie is the Jimmy Choo shoe. Jimmy Choo started around 10 years ago in a small town in England. Bet he never guessed his company would be so international and famous. A very smart, let me repeat, a VERY smart woman by the name of Tamara Mellon, knew of Mr. Choo’s tremendous success in her native, England and proposed a business gesture for him. Thankfully, he accepted and that propelled the Jimmy Choo company that we all know of today, WHOOPEE
