Claire Pettibone is a designer who knows what makes the perfect lounging outfit. Clothes that are comfortable, non-restrictive, and that make you look and feel amazing are the staples of her collections. Knowing where to find the designer that understands the need for a pair of pants and a jacket, a nightshirt, or a gown that lets you relax in the utmost of comfort while not sacrificing style is a wonderful resource to have. We don’t want to look like we forgot to look in the mirror on our lazy days in, but we do want to have every inch of what we wear fit exactly like we want. The items I will show you below will give you that extreme comfort and make you want to look in the mirror.

Wearing the Claire Pettibone Flemish Leggings will give your legs the chicest covering and feel they could want. A tantalizing floral scroll ironwork motif weaves its way up your legs against a khaki background. Shades of peach, pink, and blue color in the flowers that wind throughout the flattering pattern that decorates from your ankle to your knee. The ultra-soft fabric sits closely against your legs for a non-binding and non-slipping fit. These leggings are full length and come to the ankle. A gentle elastic waistband guarantees comfort with no pinching and keeps the leggings in place. Wearing these Flemish leggings will make you want to admire and show off your legs.

The Claire Pettibone Flemish Jacket (241452) is the perfect addition to the Flemish Leggings. The same floral scroll ironwork print decorates this khaki hoodie. Giving an artistic nod to a flower trellis, the floral scrollwork here continues its climb over the shoulders and up onto the hood. A beautiful bouquet decorates the inside of the hood for a wonderful added detail. A zippered front closure makes this hoodie easy to wear, and compliments the style along with the banded hem and cuffs. A soft lace trim around the front pockets and the hood give a lovely feminine touch. There will be no hiding when you wear the Flemish Jacket and Leggings. Instead of feeling like you walked out on fashion you will feel like you are a walking piece of art.

When you are looking for a comfortable cami to either go with the Claire Pettibone Flemish collection, or to go with any other outfit you have, the Claire Pettibone Ombre Print Mesh Adjustable Cami (78401omb) is a wonderful choice. When paired with the Flemish Jacket and Leggings the soft blue in the cami will highlight the blues in the floral print. This cami will bring to mind fairies and wishes with its soft delicate feel. The soft mesh fabric is tonal and dip-dyed. This fabric will never make you feel weighed down as it gently wraps around your body. A two-inch floral lace trims the V-neckline softly pulling attention. Matching lace encircles the hemline and accents the back. The shoulder straps are made of a narrow stretch satin for the utmost in comfort. They are adjustable in back to ensure the cami fits you perfectly.

Fine lingerie comes in many different styles and fashions. Every woman deserves to have at least one special, elegant, unique piece in her lingerie collection. Today the image of sexy lingerie is commonly something skimpy, revealing, or that implies that the wearer is easy. Sadly this idea of what one must wear to be alluring and sensual takes away a large amount of a woman’s innate charm and appeal. Instead of complimenting a woman’s natural grace, today’s styles objectify women. Liliana Casanova knows this. Liliana Casanova is a designer known for her retro elegant styles. She uses the classic styles of the 40′s and 50′s with adaptations to fit the modern woman. Liliana Casanova showed the first signs of her talent when she was barely 13 years old. Her pieces are known for their combination of elegance and sensuality, a hallmark of fine French lingerie. While I cannot give a complete history of her in this blog, I will highlight part of her story in each of my blogs about her collections.

While each collection deserves special attention, today I want to focus on the Montaigne collection. This collection is imported from France, and each piece is made of fine French Silk Mousseline & French Lace. If you decide you have to have at least one of these pieces in your closet please remember that this collection is from France and has to be special ordered, so extra time needs to be allowed for delivery. Each of these pieces is also special cut, so you will have your own unique set of lingerie.

The Liliana Casanova Montaigne Silk Mousseline Nightgown is made of sheer silk to offer just the perfect amount of a delicate sensual appeal. This gown is almost floor length with a lightly scalloped hem. The scalloping turns to ruffles at the back of the skirt and trails up to the lower back. This ruffling in the back gives the gown body and shape, all while flattering your body. Fine French lace trims around the bust drawing gentle attention to your bustline. Slim shoulder straps offer comfort with no pinching or cutting. This gown is an elegant way to highlight your body while showing how classy you are.

The Liliana Casanova Montaigne Silk Nightgown is made from a satiny silk. Unlike the last gown this gown is not sheer, but rather gives you almost complete coverage. The bust is trimmed with French lace and is made of a sheer fabric, giving you a sensual appeal while remaining an element of mystery. This gown is ankle length, and has a scalloped hem. Wide shoulder straps offer comfort and freedom. When you slip this gown on you will feel like you are wearing a dream that is wrapping you in silken clouds.

The Liliana Casanova Montaigne Silk Robe goes wonderfully with either gown above. This robe is made of a delicious satiny silk that folds and flows around you. A gorgeous lace belt accents your waist. The full skirt falls down to ankle length. French lace trims the ends of the flowing sleeves. While most robes are not designed to accent your feminine shape and instead tend to give you the look of wearing a tent, this robe will give you complete confidence in how you look. Liliana Casanova designed this robe to give you a classy silhouette, drawing attention to your beauty and grace.

The art of making fine perfumes has been practiced for centuries. The first known chemist was a perfume maker from 2^nd millennium B.C. Mesopotamia. Today, perfume is still a well-loved staple of almost any woman’s collection. Some people are willing to spend a great deal of money on the perfume of their choice, some people choose their perfume based solely on the smell, others look for a designer name, others care about the perfume’s presentation, others want the perfect combination of all three. Perfume can be used as a form of self-expression, to boost one’s confidence, or to help garner attention. Perfume comes in many scents and style. Whether you prefer a musk, a delicate scent, or a wild feel, you are sure to be able to find the perfect perfume to fit your lifestyle.

Aphrodisiac Perfume presents itself in a wonderful synergy of white rose petals, tuberose, and amber. This combination of scents provides a recipe for a seductive yet playful and passionate perfume. This recipe for Aphrodisiac comes from the ancient world when these oils were mixed with the bath water for the royal women. This perfume comes in a beautiful glass bottle and has a soft pink color. Today use this perfume for superior confidence and desirability. Aphrodisiac perfume is from Lumar of Beverly Hills.

The Heaven’s Alchemy St. Petersburgh Delux Crystal Set is an elegant set for the woman of superior taste. St. Petersburgh is a warm luxurious blend of Lemon and Orange top notes, spicy and fruity Gourmand mixed with a hint of Jasmine middle notes, and Musk mingling with Vanilla base notes. These scents combine to form a mysterious, alluring rich and romantic perfume. This set comes with an unfilled 10 mL handcrafted crystal perfume bottle with wand applicator, a 10 mL Heaven’s Alchemy European style Glass Traveler with steel roll-on applicator, a 5 mL Heaven’s Alchemy Elegant Tassel Traveler with wand applicator, and a miniature perfumer’s funnel. The perfume bottle will bring to mind Russian palaces with its crystal sides, brass bottom and top and blue gem accents. The entire set comes wrapped in a beautiful gift box.

The Heaven’s Alchemy Alexandria Delux Crystal Set is an elegant set that is the perfect gift for woman who knows she is royalty. This perfume set is inspired by the legends of Queen Alexandria’s beauty and charm. This perfume brings to mind the mesmerizing stories of the Queen and the mysterious land she ruled. A blend of Ginger, Orange and Orange Bloom top notes, Floral Fusion, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine and White Florals middle notes, and Amber, Musk, Sandalwood and Warm Vanilla base notes combine to form an exotic and captivating aroma. An unfilled 10 mL handcrafted crystal perfume bottle with wand applicator, a 10 mL Heaven’s Alchemy European style Glass Traveler with steel roll-on applicator, a 5 mL Heaven’s Alchemy Elegant Tassel Traveler with wand applicator, and a miniature perfumer’s funnel make up this set. You will fall in love with the beautiful crystal bottle. A brass top and bottom with purple stone accents complete this bottle.

Both the Heaven’s Alchemy perfumes are exclusively crafted in the USA.

I have previously highlighted different ways to help win the battle of the bulge. Whether you are trying to minimize bra bulge or back fat, or get the appearance of thinner thighs and legs, I have shown options to help you reach your goals. Today I want to look at options for controlling belly bulge. Do you have a dress hanging in your closet that you would love to wear for a special date, but are afraid it will show your stomach in a not so flattering light? There is hope, with the right shapeware underneath whatever you want to wear you can feel confident and know you look amazing. Two of the shapewear lingerie items I will show you today are specifically designed to target belly bulge and can be worn under any style clothing. The other option is more inclusive, and helps target your stomach, thighs, and bust.

The Lycra Bodysuit Shaper n-fini Shapewear offers comfortable shaping. A low front and adjustable straps allows for scoop neck tops and spaghetti strap tops. This bodysuit has a thong back for minimal lines. Underwire support supports your bust while the tummy control gives you a beautiful silhouette. This shaper is made of a light material so you will not feel like you are being suffocated. You can wear this bodysuit under almost any clothing item, including clingy fabrics. Whenever you need a little extra boost in confidence step into this comfortable shaper and head out on the streets with the knowledge that you can hold your head high with pride in how you look.

The Sassybax Strapless Torso Trim Top Sassybax Shapewear TT10 is a combination of two different Sassybax designs. This combination design works to give you a perfect hourglass shape. This shaper uses features from Sassybax’s Underwire Bandeau and Underwire Torso Trim. These different elements present a slim back and stomach, and offer support and shaping for your bust. Unlike some shapers you will not look like one solid object, but instead you will maintain all those curves you want. This top can be worn under almost everything; thanks to it being strapless it is wonderful under strapless, halter and one shoulder tops. It is also a wonderful choice for clingy fabrics as it has virtually no lines and will give you a smooth silhouette.

For under those special dresses the Strapless Dress Shaper n-fini Shapewear is the perfect way to get that look you want without adding bulk. A lack of tags means you will not have to worry about any bothersome tags interfering in your comfort while the soft Lycra microfiber offers support with no pinching. This strapless dress shaper gives you support for your bust, controls your stomach, and helps your thighs look their best. A special serpentine gel at the bustline and the hem line gives extra support and comfort. This gel also ensures that this dress will not bunch or curl. Regardless of how you feel about your body on any given day you can slip this on under your dress and step out with confidence, knowing you look amazing.

As women we all need items in our wardrobe that are for special occasions. We need dresses that make us feel amazing, pants that hug our every curve, shirts that we feel like we can conquer the world in, these are the items that we allow people to see in our everyday lives and give us confidence whether we are walking down the street or handling everyday tasks. Then there are those items that are more private, items that need to make us feel our absolute best, items that we only show that special someone who we share our most intimate moments with. This part of our wardrobe is just as important, if not more so, than the outer part of what we wear. When we slip into our sexy lingerie items we need to feel unique, sensual, and fully confident with our bodies. Unlike the clothes we wear in public, these items are not designed to hide any part of our body, instead they are designed to highlight and show it off. The right skirt can be the perfect complement to your favorite lingerie set. Luxxa knows this and has designed three skirts that will look wonderful on anyone.

The Luxxa Balance Long Skirt is a wonderful choice if you want a longer skirt for your evening. This skirt is made of sheer black tulle. Intricate lace provides a delicate, detailed trim for the waist. A scalloped edging around the body of the skirt give it a flirtatious air. This skirt comes down to about mid-calf. The combination of the longer length and the see through fabric give the perfect air of allusive but available. This theme is carried on by the high side slit where the skirt closes on the side.

When you want more of a flirty feel then the Luxxa Balance Short Skirt is exactly what you are looking for. This skirt is almost identical to the Luxxa Balance Long Skirt, but is cut to above mid-thigh giving the skirt a playful attitude.

Both the Luxxa Balance Long and Short Skirt are imported from France. Both skirts close with a side hip-tie. As part of the Luxxa Balance collection there are several accessories available to go with these amazing skirts. The Luxxa Balance Top is the perfect top to go with either Luxxa Balance skirt. This top mirrors the skirts and will make you feel amazing.

The Luxxa Taureau Jupe Skirt is a more daring skirt for those who are looking for a slightly edgier look and feel. This imported skirt is made of sheer jacquard lace. A black band lines the stomach, and an embroidered and beaded fringe bottom. This skirt has minimal coverage in the back, and is above mid-thigh length in the front. This skirt is part of the Luxxa Taureau collection. Like the Luxxa Balance collection this skirt has several accessories and additional items from the Taureau collection to add to its seductive charm. The Luxxa Taureau Top and the Luxxa Taureau Braclet-Anklet are just two examples of the many options to go with this the Luxxa Taureau Jupe Skirt.

A woman’s shoulders and back have an intrinsic sensual appeal. They can make a woman appear delicate and vulnerable, but at the same time show her strength and sexual power. Sleeveless shirts, one shoulder tops, and halter tops are the perfect clothing choice to show off your beautiful shoulders and back. Finding the right bra to wear under your shoulder show-off collection can be challenging. So many strapless bras are uncomfortable, pinch and squeeze, don’t stay up or in place, or show the cup lines. None of these are desirable in any bra, especially a strapless bra. There are times when having a strapless bra that disappears under your clothes is exactly what you want. Then there are times that you want your bra to pop when it is front and center. In this post I want to focus on the strapless bra that looks great under your clothes and gives you the shape you deserve. Later I will also highlight strapless bras that have that extra oh la la.

The L.Z Strapless Push-Up Bra 51379 is a wonderful choice for petite women. This bra has molded underwire cups with graduated padding and extra foam on the bottom to provide extra lift, giving you the perfect shape. The amazingly soft and silky super-microfiber fabric gives excellent breathability, and provides a smooth look under your clothes. You will get additional support from the light boning along the sides. This bra does have removable, adjustable straps for freedom of styling. A delicate ring accent in the front center adds a light feminine touch. This bra is comfortable with a light airy feel. This is the perfect bra to wear under your wedding gown or your favorite strapless top.

When you need a strapless bra that disappears under your clothes then you need the Wacoal Body Suede Convertible. This bra is made of a silky microfiber exterior with soft stretch foam on the interior. Underwire support and light flexible boning on the sides gives support and a snug comfortable fit. This seamless bra vanishes under your clothing. Don’t think this bra is all business though, a delicate feminine appeal is added with venise lace adorning the center gore. Adjustable removable straps are included. This is the perfect bra to wear with a t-shirt, slinky gown, or anything you might pick up.

The Fantasie Ivory Rose Convertible Strapless Bra 8952 has an ingenious inner sling designed to push your bust line forward. This extra support gives you a beautiful shape. A delicate scalloped edging on the top of the cups and a small rosette gives the perfect feminine touch without being bulky enough to show under clothing. Light boning in the band along with silicone edging give superior staying power along with an amazing fit. The bra has clear removable straps that are adjustable in the front and back so you can choose between a conventional or wide-set look. While this bra does not have the same smooth front profile of the previous bras, this bra still looks beautiful under almost any item of clothing you choose. The added uplift and shaping this bra provides makes it a wonderful choice for when you want to accent your bust.

On my last posting I looked at Wacoal’s shaping options, focusing on those for the thighs, legs, hips and stomach. While these are important areas to shape for a sexy silhouette, they are not the only areas that need some extra shaping sometimes. Almost all of us have experienced bra bulge or had our bra give us the appearance of back fat. These can be even more destructive to a sleek silhouette than legs, stomach or thighs. No one wants bra bulge or back fat, but for some of us going without a bra to try to limit these annoying looks is not feasible. Finding a way to limit them or eliminate them can be challenging though. When trying to shape your bust with a normal bra you can actually make your situation worse. However, there are options to give you the support you need and the look you want. The Sassybax brand has a variety of options in their shapewear collection. Right now I want to focus on some of their options to control bra bulge, back fat, and help enhance your figure all while eliminating or minimizing bra lines.

The Sassybax Bralette Sassybax Shapewear (BR01) is revolutionary and eliminates bra lines and bra bulge. Time Magazine and Lucky Magazine on Good Morning America have featured this amazing bralette. This shaping bralette is seamlessly knitted from Sassybax microfiber nylon and lycra blend to provide endless comfort. With the support and enhancement this bralette gives you while giving you the perfect sleek look you desire, you will be sure to fall in love.

Strapless bras are an important part of every woman’s wardrobe, but the requirements needed to keep a strapless bra up do nothing to help with back fat or bra bulge. The Sassybax Underwire Strapless Bra Sassybax Shapewear US05 lets you wear your favorite strapless shirt without having to worry about bra bulge or back fat. This amazing bra has underwire straps to shape and define the bust. The wide back strap keeps the bra from slipping, and provides comfortable support and reduction in bra bulge. This bra has been knit in the round with no seams or hardware for complete and constant comfort.

The Sassybax Underwire Bra Sassybax Shapewear UBR06 has the claim of being able to essentially remove all back fat and bra lines. This bra has underwire support to give you the support and shape you want without any discomfort. The uniquely cut design of the back guarantees an amazingly smooth silhouette. Regardless of what you want to wear this bra will work perfectly, leaving you with amazing comfort, no back fat and no bra lines, even under the clingiest top you own.

Any of these three bras will give you the comfort and confidence you need and deserve. While they may not look like the sexiest bra you might own, they will give you the ultimate in a sensual outline. With the three different styles you will be able to find the right bra for any need you have, whether it is for a sheer clinging dress, a tight t-shirt, or a sexy one shoulder top.
