Valentine’s Day Fashion: JACOB Lingerie
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Trust JACOB to come up with a line of sexy and sophisticated lingerie! They always get it right. I really love the lavender/purple theme.
The first style from the left side (nightie and thong) is quite forgiving. I think that it is flattering on all figures.
I would love to see them expand their sizes to cover xxs and xxxl (correct me if I am wrong). As much as I love the bras, I can’t fit into them.

La Senza Canada Deals: Pin Up Collection Lingerie
Monday, February 1st, 2010La Senza Canada Lingerie Deals:
Sexy bras – 2 for $39.50
Flirty Panties – 5 for $25
I really like the gingham set featured in the ad below. Plus I like that the panty comes in a boy short style. Overall, I was quite disappointed with the Pin Up collection. The gingham print is the most interesting thing that was offered. I think that with a pin up theme, they could have played up the vintage aspect and came up with more fun styles.

Aerie’s AEREWARDS Card
Monday, February 1st, 2010I recently received my new AEREWARD$ card from Aerie in the mail. This new card allows shoppers to earn points (online and in-store) for discounts on future purchases. You basically earn one point for every dollar spent. Other perks include:
- 15% off your purchase on your birthday.
- exclusive product offers and discounts
- opportunities to earn bonus points
- free Aerie bras – buy 4 bras and get the 5th one for free
I am not sure if this card replaces the current monthly gift card. I think that Aerie is pretty generous when it comes to freebies and discounts.

Budget Fashion Find: Jacob Lingerie
Monday, February 2nd, 2009Lingerie Tips from Secrets From Your Sister
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009By: Oliva De Leon-Gan
I recently had the chance to bombard the staff at Secrets from Your Sister with questions about lingerie.
SFYS specializes in giving the best shopping experience by finding shoppers the right fit, through their knowledgeable and passionate staff. SFYS has 2 locations in Toronto (Yonge and Eglinton and Bathurst and Bloor). They carry a wide a wide selection of sizes for both petites and fuller chested women. Make sure to visit their website at www.secretsfromyoursister.com. The site is beautifully designed and there is a section for bra care and storage.
What basic pieces should every woman own?
A woman should own 3-4 bras. One black, one skintone (for under light
colours) one fun fashion colour like red and either a strapless or sports
bra depending on which plays an important role in your life. (if you do
sports or activity it is in the best interest of your bosom to support
them well or they start to decline faster)
It is always wise to have some invisible panites, short or thong as a
bikini cuts in. I also think every woman should have a pair of ‘granny
panties’ for those days you only car about comfort!
What would you suggest for someone with a limited budget?
Well, if it is for a bra I suggest coming in at sale time for sure. I love
sale time and love seeing the excitement from women when the get a good
deal! For other times let your fitter know you have a limited budget. We
have inexpensive bras as well however, lower cost often also means lower
quality and a lesser lifespan. We work with your needs but an investment,
well taken care of is often the most economical solution in the long run.
Common mistakes women make when choosing undergarments.
Women often buy bra backs too big which starts a whole bunch of issues
like the wire digging in, the straps falling off and the straps digging
into the shoulders causing a woman to slouch and to often have back and
neck pain.
Instant cleavage tricks
The Jennifer Bra is the best cleavage EVER! It is also multi way and low
back, seamless and soft! Another trick used is putting an insert into the
lower outer side of the bosom in the bra. This boosts the breasts into the
center and a bit upward to really emphasize the fullness. This trick works
with Demi cut bras and best in Plunge cut bras.
Best sellers from your boutique.
Depending on the bosom size:
Smaller – Betsey Johnson, Pleasure State, Natori
Bustier – Freya, Prima Donna, Empreinte, Elomi
What can we expect from Secrets from your Sister and what sets you
apart from other boutiques?
You can expect a unique customer service experience that involves yu
actually learning invaluable information that you can take with you
wherever you choose to shop. You can expect to be served by Fit Mistresses
who care about finding the right fit for your body while keeping your
needs in mind so you are not wasting money. We love what we do, we
understand and are compassionate and we also like to know that we are
offering an empowering experience. One other thing that is important is
continually speaking to the manufacturers and showing them the true sizes
that sell so they can cater more those sizes. What happens now is
manufacturers cater to a standard size sold that has been developed from
people having limited sizes available and no knowledge of how to
fit-basicallt the incorrect sizes!
Words of wisdom or trade-secrets for the lingerie neophyte.
If you love lingerie, get fit, understand how a bra should fit properly
and have fun!
