Why is it so hard to find the perfect bra? For starters, no two bras are made or sized the same way. I wear multiple band/letter combinations in different brands and styles (my Bra Zone). Plus boobs are always changing. Maybe some bra styles fit you better during your menstrual cycle. Then again, those may…
What lingerie fashions might you find in stores this Fall? After walking the aisles of New York’s Javits Center for two days during the Curvexpo Lingerie & Swim tradeshow, I can sum up FW2016 lingerie trends in one sentence: work is play, and play is work. What do I mean? Athleisure styles continue to dominate…
It’s Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day and the perfect time to ask: who invented bras? Love them or hate them, most women (and even some men) won’t leave home without one. There’s no medical reason to wear them despite claims to the contrary. But bras do alleviate the aches and pains of carrying extra boob…

There I had the chance to meet the founder and inspiration behind the line, Fleur Turner. Each…
Lingerie is timeless, right? That’s not always evident when I’m shopping for intimate apparel. Racks of push ups, molded cups, and skimpy thongs target the tighter skinned 20 to 30-year-old woman. These styles don’t appeal to me. As my shape shifts with age, so does my definition of what I find attractive, sensual, and alluring….
I’ve been at CURVExpo’s designer lingerie and swim show in New York this week, getting a sneak peek at the latest in lingerie trends and new styles for Spring 2014. The show featured over 350 exhibitors from all over the world. I got a good look at everything available in bras, swimwear, shape wear, sleepwear,…
