Soap Rocks

April 5th, 2010

Sylene of Washington is now carrying SoapRock®, which are soaps made to look like precious rocks. No matter what you favorite gemstone, or color there is a wide array to choose from. SoapRock®’s are the brain child of Todd Pink, whose background included Geology, Cooking, Gardening, Conceptual Art and  Chemistry. He used his love for cooking to create these glycerine soap using wonderful extracts of earth such as Aloe, Calendula, Chamomile, Comfrey, Lavender, Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, and Almond Oil.

Priced nicely at $11.50, these soaps make a terrific hostess gift, and bring wonder to daily life, transforming the most mundane of tasks into an inspiring daily reminder of nature’s beauty. Interestingly, these soaps light up underwater illuminating their brilliant natural color, and the stone’s smooth stone-like texture will gently cleanse with a light lather, leaving your skin soft and refreshed. Over time, the SoapRock® will slowly weather away in your hands like a stream stone in geologic time.


Dear Bra Lady,
I love Hanky Panky and want to get my friend a basket full of HPs for her wedding shower. She’s tiny like a size 0 or 2. I know that Hanky Panky’s are one-size and fit my size 8 butt perfectly, so am not sure how well they would fit on size 2.

Let me know so I make sure to get her a good gift,

Maid of Honor

Dear Maid of Honor,
Hanky Panky’s make a great gift because they have a magical way of fitting everyone. You may want to consider purchasing our “Diva 6-Pack” of Hanky Panky’s as you get a $118 value for less than $100 dollars! This is a great way to buy Hanky Panky’s, whether you are giving them all to one person or splitting them up.

The Bra Book

January 28th, 2010

Last year, I was honored to be interviewed by Jené Luciani while she was researching for her book, The Bra Book: The Fashion Formula to Finding the Perfect Bra. Jené has interviewed some of the biggest names in entertainment today, including Bette Midler, Michael Kors, Madonna, Ashlee Simpson, Glenn Close, Vivica A. Fox, Sigourney Weaver, Ellen Pompeo, and Vanessa Williams. The book is finally out, and will be available for purchase at Sylene for $——-. The book is fabulous and arms women with the knowledge they need to find the right fashion support. From the best bra to wear under every outfit to important information about bras and breast health from puberty to retirement, from the physics behind bra design to how you can best ensure a proper fit, The Bra Book: The Fashion Formula to Finding the Perfect Bra is the source for women everywhere. You will find me quoted in Chapter 4 of the book, where Jené incorporated my famous “S Factor” Makeover. She agrees that women need a variety of bras in their lingerie drawer, so that they are ready for any occasion and outfit.


Bra(g) Bra Bag and Panty Pak

January 3rd, 2010

Bra Travel Bag

FINALLY-a protective travel bag for padded, molded, or contoured bras to make packing them easy! Such an obvious problem, yet until now no one has ever seriously considered a solution.

As with all great inventions, bra(g) was born out of necessity. When Jane Webb, the inventor of  bra(g), travelled, she would arrive only to discover that her best assets had become deficits!

All attempts at strategic packing by making sure the shoes and purses were no where near the bras or stuffing the cups with socks, proved futile since the bras always managed to arrive crumpled. Jane’s sheer frustration, inconvenience and cost of replacing them, inspired the bra(g), a durable, sturdy case that will ensure that your bras will Travel in Style … Arrive in Form.

The bra(g) makes packing and protecting your bras easy. Your bra(g) can fit up to 6 – bras up to size ‘C’ and some ‘D’ cups, depending on size and style.

Elegance in black & white toile, this Bra Bag is a combination of a beautiful patterned fabric with matching contrast ribbon.

Bra(g) Travel Bag – Price: $49.95

All the Trimmings!

December 7th, 2009
The holiday season has arrived, and while Christmas is still several weeks away, there are so many festive items to help celebrate. Traditional ideas of holiday fashion may conjure up images of tacky embellished snowmen sweaters and cheesy jingle bell earrings, but contemporary trends are chic and include sensual ribbons, luxurious velvet, and lush hues such as cranberry and emerald.

This gorgeous gown by Claire Pettibone is made from sheer floral stretch lace with velvet trim. Also included in this collection are a sophisticated boy short and a camisole.
