Our recent post about trends in lingerie made a quick mention of Pantone’s color of the year: ultra-violet. That’s right; the Pantone people pick a new fashion color every year. Maybe it’s just to get us add it to our wardrobes (it is their job, after all). But colors do carry meaning and energy. According to their…
I recently shared a list of 10 of the best Polish lingerie brands. In it, I talked about why brands from this country typically offer an extensive size range.

That is the case with Emma Harris Lingerie, whose motto is “lingerie…
What’s the lingerie capital of the world? Chances are you thought of France. It seems synonymous with great underwear and is even where the word lingerie originated. But there’s another country that is doing wonderful things in the world of intimates—Poland. Many European (and for that matter, US) lingerie brands are manufactured abroad, in countries…
I stand at a podium on a stage in a room decorated with over 600 clowns of all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles about to give a eulogy to two of my best friends. Yes, two. I cannot believe this is happening to my friends of over ten years. Gone. But they were so fun-loving…
Spring is almost here, which means you can leave your house and get some fresh air! Plus size activewear has come a long way in the past few years, so there’s finally no lack of stylish and supportive pieces for curvier women. If your current sports bra or leggings have seen better days, this is…
