Purple Bra Trend!

September 24th, 2009

              Jewel tones, especially purple, are one of the hottest fashion trends for fall. Shades range from pale to “pow to plum; even Audemars Piguet sponsored a party for Purple Magazine at swanky new NYC hotspot The Boom Boom Room. Purple has had a colorful history, no pun intended.  It has long been associated with nobility and royalty, dating back to classical antiquity when expensive Tyrian Purple dye was only affordable to the elite class.

              This beautiful bra from Malizia by La Perla features a gorgeous graphic effect due to stylized plumetis tulle in a floral pattern. Delicate bows between the cups add an elegant touch.

La Classe Push Up

              If simple styles in bold colors are more your preference, try this versatile bra by Cosabella. It’s made of seamless mesh and has clever removable padding. The deep v center is great for low cut fashions.

Yummie Tummie is Here!

August 1st, 2008

Yummie Tummie shaping tanks are unique in that they are designed to be seen! Created by a woman for women of all ages shapes and sizes, Yummie Tummie will visibly slim, shape and smooth you. It hides the lumps that would show through your shirts.


yt image The basis of this unique garment is an everyday comfy cotton tank with an added moderate-control microfiber fabric panel in the center. It smooths your belly and trims inches off your midsection. Since the top and bottom are made of breathable cotton, it looks perfectly normal peeking out underneath a tee, jacket or sweater. You can wear it everyday under a layer or on its own. Another great and unique feature of Yummie Tummie is that it does not compress your bust area like so many others. It gives you options, because you can wear it like a layering piece or tuck it in to your jeans.  Remember, Yummie Tummie is designed to be seen – no one will ever know you’re wearing shapewear!

Yummie Tummie was recently featured on Oprah’s Top Picks for Summer (with special guest Heidi Klum) and has already been seen on The Today Show, Entertainment Tonight and many local and regional TV features as well as magazine and newspaper editorials.

Look sleek, slender, and sexy with confidence and comfort!

Available at SyleneDC.com in two lengths: regular and long.

Do You Have VPL?

July 1st, 2008

How do I prevent VPL or visible panty lines? I enjoy wearing white pants in the summer, but I feel like you can see my underwear.

VPL or visible panty lines are a major fashion faux pas, and can definitely be prevented.

thongWhen wearing white pants, skin-colored, seamless thongs are your best bet. Never wear white underwear with white pants, they will show. Commando makes great seamless panties in thong, mini-thong, and boyshort styles. Made of microfiber, Commandos are constructed in a microfiber fabric that is precision-cut to fit without binding elastic. Their unfinished edges never fray or roll, and lie smooth against the body. Silky smooth and extremely comfortable, Commandos are almost like your wearing nothing at all!

spanx

Shapewear is another option. Spanx makes a variety of panty shapers that are legband-free, eliminating bulging on the thighs and creating a smooth and sleek line from your waist to your upper thigh. Shapers create a firm and smooth look under clothes.

blushAnd finally, if you are inclined, try Nundies! They are truly guaranteed not to give you VPL! Nundies is a one-time use, disposable “panty” that adheres to the inseam inside of your pants. This tulip-shaped “panty” is intended for use as an alternative to wearing traditional underwear. Made from a nylon/lycra blend, Nundies are as soft as your conventional underwear, but take up less space and don’t leave embarrassing panty lines.
