Lingerie fashion gets zodiac makeover

November 29th, 2009

Do you believe in Zodiac signs? I am sure you must have sometimes in your life time bought a mug with your star sign on it or worn a gem that is supposed to be lucky for you? Very soon lingerie fashion will be joining the ranks of numerous fashion accessories like rings, pendant, bangles and belts and be designed according to the zodiac signs. Here are some enchanting camisoles exclusively designed for each one of the 12 signs.

The lacy white one is for the careful Virgo, the small leopard-print is for Libra, whereas a netted black beauty is best suitable for the passionate Scorpio.

For the independent, yet impatient Sagittarius, a contrast blend of black and white is the best choice. The black one is for the flirty fashionable Capricorn and a colorful camisole sits well on the Aquarian.

The pink body with shiny red trim, perfectly compliments the playful mood of the Arien. Floral design over white fabric is specially made for the Pisces, but the same in a darker shade will best define the Taurus belle.

Designed by Dolce & Gabbana, the most decorative dotted-print is dedicated to Gemini, while a decent white piece respects the caring and sensitive nature of the Cancer sign. Roberto Cavalli designs the most gorgeous tiger print for the vigorous Leo. Wow,you say? Sure, I agree – what an amazing collection!

Secrets to Buying Curvy Lingerie

November 21st, 2009

Curvy lingerie is for women with full curves, full hips and breasts and the secrets to buying curvy lingerie is essential. Buying curvy lingerie has secrets that both men and women want to know and apply when shopping.

Curvy lingerie often goes by the terms plus size lingerie, queen size lingerie as well as lingerie for full figured women. To many women including myself these other terms can be demeaning and divisive and don’t lend themselves to women having pride in their lingerie. Sexy lingerie for thin women is well, lingerie while lingerie for women 12, 14, 16 and up is well, plus size. Why not call it super size or even huge lingerie, why not freaking huge lingerie for fat women?

Curvy lingerie is neutral in fact it is cute and does not suggest anything about the weight, height or ethnic origin of wearer. Why don’t we call lingerie black lingerie for black women, Hispanic lingerie for Latinas and, well you get the idea.

Curvy Lingerie
Curvy lingerie is for women who have curves whether they be as a result of breast implants, big breasts, curvy hips or women of all sizes who have, you got it, curves. Curvy, voluptuous, soft or firm womanly curves.

So what are the secrets?
1. Buy lingerie to fit and this is especially true for curvy women. All too often curvy women want to “hide” their curves and this is a mistake. Show them off and don’t add unnecessary fabric which makes you appear to be heavier, bigger and less attractive. Curves are meant to be celebrated not draped in a fashion that suggests you are ashamed of those beautiful breasts, hips and thighs.

2. Try the garments on if at all possible as sizing in the curvy line of lingerie is anything but stable. Sizing has always been a factor in men’s or women’s clothing but especially women’s clothing and lingerie. Remember sexy plus size lingerie is available in sizes extra large, 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X as well as sizes 12, 14, 16, 18 and beyond. Finally there is the one size fits most – queen or plus size.

3. Does one size fit all? No, read carefully as many women and men assume that one size fits most really means one size fits all, and it doesn’t. One size fits most is meant to fit all sizes from 12 to 16 and if you wonder how do they do that, they don’t? At least not very effectively. The one size sizing is meant to keep a lid on costs as instead of offering 4-6 different sizes, manufacturers offer the one size label. How can one size fit 4 to 6 sizes? Again it really can’t but it “may” fit you depending on your body type. In other words curvy women may have a big butt, tummy or breasts and depending on how you want this garment to fit it may or may not fit but obviously these garments are inexpensive, cheap often and may hang on you or be stretched to bursting.

4. Ask your retailer what other plus size they have available? Don’t settle for just what they have on the floor. It used to be that retailers put out their 2-3-4 sizes of each style which were and are handpicked by the owner or buyers. There are usually 50 to 90% of the rest of the line that are unpurchased. While the reasons vary wildly just ask the owner what else is available. While it may cost more to get another style or even color you may find that it is well worth the extra expense.

Seasonal Hand and Body Lotion Suggestions

November 16th, 2009

They type of hand and body lotion you buy should depend partly on the time of year you are shopping. Our skin has varying moisturizing needs during warmer vs. colder months. It is important you shop for body lotion and hand lotion products that will work well regardless of the season. Fortunately there are multiple products specially formulated to accommodate our skin’s needs year round.

Body Lotion

Hand and Body Lotions For Cold Months
During the cold winter months you probably go through more hand and body lotion than at any other time during the year. This is partly because the air tends to be drier during colder months, lifting moisture from our skin. Harsh winds can also contribute to dry skin. Fortunately with the right hand and body lotion products you can breeze through the winter months with glowing and well-hydrated skin.

During the cold months of the year you should select products with rich ingredients that will penetrate the skin and provide a protective layer from the wind and sun. Don’t think for a minute that you can buy body lotions without sun protection just because the weather has turned cold. You can still get sunburned in the winter, so look for products that contain some sun protection. You won’t need as much as in the summer obviously, but a little can go a long way toward preserving your skin’s elasticity.

Good choices include lotions that contain ingredients like petroleum or glycerin. These ingredients are particularly good for hand creams and foot lotions because they not only provide a protective barrier from wind but also help soften dried calluses and chapped hands.

You should also consider covering your hands and feet in socks or gloves immediately after moisturizing. This will help keep skin satiny smooth throughout the winter. Also remember to leave your legs, hands and arms a little damp before applying moisturizer. This works well for facial moisturizers as well. The damp droplets left behind will absorb more easily into the skin.

You should also consider keeping a light hand moisturizer or hand lotion near the sink. Colds and flu are commonplace in the winter and most people tend to wash their hands more frequently to avoid getting sick. Unfortunately the more you wash your hands the drier they will get. You can easily solve this beauty problem however by applying a small dab of moisturizer after every wash. Avoid thick lotions or body creams, as these will take too long to penetrate your skin while in a hurry. Something light and airy like Lubriderm lotion will work just fine for hand washings.

Hand and Body Lotion For Warmer Months
During warmer months you want to invest in hand and body lotions with adequate sun protection. Even if you have naturally oily skin it is important you use a daily moisturizer or sun protection. Just look for products that are light and nongreasy. Like our faces our bodies often produce more oil during the summer too, so if you typically use heavy creams during the winter switch to a lighter formula or lotion during the summer. During the warmest months you can apply light lotion to the driest areas of your skin and leave the rest for the time being. Some lotions are specially formulated to provide a luminescent shimmer during the summer. You can also find moisturizing products that contain bronzer to help give your skin a tanned appearance.

Because the air is more humid in the summer, this is a good time to incorporate hand and body lotions that contain hydroxy acids or other anti aging components. They are less likely to irritate sensitive skin during the summer. You can also apply these products to scaly patches on the skin, common on knees and elbows for example. Try exfoliating first and then applying a heavier body lotion or scrub a few times every week.

Remember regardless of the time of year you deserve to look and feel your best. Selecting the right hand or body lotion is the first step toward silky, shimmering skin year

Fine LingerieThe uses of fine sexy lingerie are as varied as one’s imagination, so there’s no limit on how you present it and yourself. The purpose of course is to enjoy you while doing it! We’ve covered a few suggestions below.

1. Plan a Strip Tease

You can use your sexy lingerie in many ways, but a fun one would be to plan a strip tease with your partner. This will take a bit of planning as you’ll want to have plenty of time, so choose a day and time when both of you will be fresh and not tired after a long day at work. Pick a very sexy Teddy, Baby Doll, etc. and get a feather boa and you’re ready to go. I’m sure both of you would enjoy yourselves immensely!

2. Lingerie Party

A lingerie party, which is like a Tupperware party only with intimate apparel, would be a very fun and exciting way to host a get together with your close friends, along with potentially making a few extra dollars. This is a great way to showcase your lingerie in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

3. Romantic Gift for A Special Occasion

Fine sexy lingerie is a terrific way to surprise your partner on those special occasions. One thing to keep in mind, though, before buying, is to be observant and take notes in general on what the recipient likes and doesn’t like. What’s their favorite color? What style or styles of fine lingerie do they like? You get the idea! After all, you want to give something they’ll wear with enjoyment!

4. Showing Off to Your Partner

Fine sexy lingerie is a great way to bringing out your sexy and romantic side to your partner. Men love to see women in fine lingerie, so it’s a wonderful way to make an intimate occasion more meaningful.

5. Feeling Good About Yourself

You don’t have to actually purchase fine sexy lingerie to show off to anyone, but rather to feel good about yourself. Nothing helps a woman feel sexier and more confident about herself than to know that she’s wearing fine lingerie under her clothes, although no one else sees it.

This is just the tip of the iceberg on the many uses of your fine sexy lingerie. Don’t be afraid to use your imagination and come up with more. And most important and above all, have fun!
