Posts with tag straps

You know you've got all kinds of style pet peeves you're dying to share, and we're giving you the chance to do so and win a great prize at the same time! Head on over to this week's giveaway where we're giving away three Strapper Basics 5 Packs and leave a comment with the fashion faux pas that bugs you the most for a chance to win. But hurry -- you only have until 5:00 p.m. ET this Friday (tomorrow!) to enter.

Why should you want The Strapper for your very own? It keeps bra straps from sliding down your arm, provides extra lift and support, plus it converts any standard bra into a racerback style. Because what stylish gal wants her bra straps showing? Besides SJP, of course.

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.

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.

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!
