New Aubade Resort Swimwear




Whether you're heading off to the British Virgin Island this holiday season or walking the decks of a cruise ship (lucky you!), the little black swimsuit is a no-fail option. Good timing...we just received the latest resort swimwear collection from Aubade: the Cuba Collection.




Ok...we are not sure why Aubade pick that name, Cuba, especially for the US market. Cross cultural marketing blunders happen all the time and to the best company too. (see our entry blog on how do lingerie/swimwear designer pick their name of collections?) . Hopefully you won't be forbiden, arrested or fined for wearing it.

Bathing suit only available in Black and based on your true bra size (because it is stylish, sliming and flatering....). You are sure to get some compliments.

Lingerie Project Runaway?

We are thinking of introducing a new lingerie designer to the store.

Now, you would think that picking a new lingerie designer might be easy..Think again. Criterias to introduce new lingerie designer/lines include (but not rank in terms of importance) Fit, Brand Recognition, Price range, Appeal to customers, Color, Style, Production (i.e Made in France vs Made in China), Size range available, Quality, Distribution, Delivery, Terms and conditions.

To add on to it, we usually purchase new lingerie collections about six months before it is shown in the store. Therefore, we must be able to anticipate trends in fashion and consumer needs. Crystal ball ....anyone?

Are you up for a fashion challenge a la Project Runaway? (Yes we must admit we love that Bravo TV show..even though we have no design experience) Do you feel like you could help us in our retail buying decision? We will post in February on this blog new pictures of Fall 2008 collections from new lingerie designers and will invite you to vote on your favorite ones. So, you will be the one to decide who is “in” and who is “out.” But..please...no drama!

Top 3 Lingerie Stocking Stuffers










Running of ideas for stocking stuffers this holiday season? Look no more...












For the Traveler: How about a lingerie travel bag? Now there’s a way for your innocent intimates and your naughty little numbers to blissfully coexist: the Lingerie Bag. With "wash me" on one side and "wear me" on the other, the Lingerie Bag lets you button shut the dirties so you’re always reaching for the clean. Protect your panties and don’t be negligent with your negligĂ©e.



For the Hanky Panky aficionado/fan : She is the type of person who only swears by her favorite and most comfortable Hanky Panky low rider thongs. No itching, digging, or shifting....They are peeeeeeeeeerrrfectt....She collect all colors it comes in every seasons...She has at least 15 pairs of those...because she might not have time to do laundry every two days. I bet she does not have yet the limited holiday collection from Hanky Panky..Time to surprise her with new festive colors and fun design for the holiday.


For the black dress enthusiast (minus the deodorant marks):
How many times have you been running late for an appointment, meeting or date trying to find the perfect thing to wear and when you finally do, you notice there are deodorant marks along the side of your outfit? Gal Pal is quick, easy and reusable and the best thing you can remove the deodorant marks in seconds without having to remove your clothes.
We always have one on hand at the store and we can tell you that it really works. So much magic in this garment deodorant remover!

How to avoid a fashion bra faux pas





More from the desk of our undercover lingerie agent.....







Life has a way of throwing in little snafus along the way to those holiday parties. How about the: Not noticed until you're on your way visible bra straps (VBS)? The annoying slipping spaghetti strap? The cold nipple look? The buckling out cleavage of a strapless gown? Pssst. Your strap is falling down....The list of potential fashion faux pas, alas, goes on and on.


But you need never worry about them again. Now, with the Fashion Forms Bag of Secret you'll face every special occasion and fashion challenge with confidence this holiday season.


Bag of secrets includes:

  • Garment and Body Adhesive tape with dispenser to take with you on the go. (works better than your Scoth Double sided tape....)
  • Strap Tamers bra strap concealers are the easiest and most effective way to stop falling bra straps.

  • Ultimate Silicone Gel Petals with a travel case for a smooth look with or without your bra

  • Lightweight and comfortable, invisible bra straps are convenient to use for those times when you don't want bra straps to show

  • Our Bra Strap Converter converts any regular bra into a T back for those cut away fashions

  • Our Lingerie Bag protects delicate bras, panties, slips and hosiery from snags, tangles, and also extends the life of the garments while machine washing and drying.

Now you are ready for the red carpet...Oops.. I meant the holiday company party..

If I were you, I would also get a few "bag of secrets" as stocking stuffers. Your friends and relatives will thank you for making them look so good!
