Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie

herroom undergarmentsYou can have the greatest cocktail dress in the world -- the color is gorgeous, the fabric luxurious -- but the fact is, you need more than just a dress to look great. In order to look completely polished, you need to make sure everything beneath the dress is in its proper place. And, to do that, you need the right underwear, which is where HerRoom enters the picture.

Switch your shoe without changing your sole - Switchflops

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes


While some of us are fortunate enough to live in a sunny climate, where we can wear sandals year round, many of us are pulling out coats and boots. However, even if you're gearing up for snow, we hope you have plans to travel someplace sunny and warm. And if so, we have the shoe for you.

Switchflops are the kind of invention we can't believe we didn't come up with first. There are several shoe styles to choose from (flats or wedges, or a kitten heel here, in three colors), but it's the variety of straps that make this shoe so interesting.

Sometimes good girls show their bras, but only for charity

Filed under: Style in the News, Swimwear and Lingerie, Style for a Cause


Usually we encourage ladies to keep their bra straps -- not to mention their bra cups -- well covered. But in this case, we are asking you to do the opposite. Even the rules of decorum can be lifted for a good cause.

What to wear under your red carpet dress: Victoria's Secret Very Sexy 100

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Red Carpet Trends

Well, the pre-red carpet coverage on E! (yes, I started tuning in at 4:30 -- what?!?) included a short fashion show from Victoria's Secret, and one of the items they really pushed as a must-have red carpet undergarment was the Very Sexy 100-way Strapless Convertible Bra.

On the television, I have to admit, it looks like a bit of a miracle -- they showed a couple of different necklines and types of straps, and the bra was able to accommodate them all. However, they didn't exactly get to 100 different styles, so I'm not sure how accurate the name is. Also, none of the models were particularly well-endowed, so I'd be very curious to see how the bra worked for a more busty broad who actually needed the support.

I then checked out some reviews and was pretty disappointed to see that many women who tried the bra on were less than thrilled it. It seems to be a good concept but perhaps needs a little work. At any rate, if you have a gown (red carpet or otherwise) with a neckline that seems to make wearing a bra impossible, you might want to check out your friendly neighborhood Victoria's Secret and give this bra a try. Or, if you already have, let me know what you thought of it!
