This sale just hit my inbox, and I thought it might be one that some of you ladies would definitely be interested in… especially after reading my Super Bowl fashion must-haves!

Plie is a Brazilian brand of Slimming Shapewear meant to be worn underneath your clothes to give you a smooth, sleek and sexy look without the appearance of bumps or bulges. Here’s what they have to say about the brand:

This line was designed to be worn all day with comfort in mind. The fabrics are specially selected for the steamy climate of Brazil- skin stays cool and dry. Seamless and sensual, these are like nothing you’ve tried before. We were astounded at how each piece we tried stayed exactly put- exactly! No sliding or rolling or tugging- none!

One of the standout features of Plié is the targeted elastic panels- the texture and stretch of the soft microfiber material is graduated to accommodate your natural shape. The smoothing is concentrated on problem areas. Rather than feeling just general tightness, the lycra blend and ribbing is strategically adjusted to put gentle support where you need it.

Plie is exclusively on sale at Jasmere.com, a new kind of sample sale site. They feature one brand a day (it seems like they’re only selling items Monday-Friday, but I’m not positive) at deep discounts that, like Groupon, get even better when more people buy… so make sure to tell your friends abut this great deal, too!

Head over to Jasmere.com now to get this great deal… because it will only be around until tomorrow morning! There are no waiting lists, no invitation-only shopping… just one great deal a day!

My grandmother was a very interesting and quirky lady indeed. Born in 1906 to parents who grew up during the latter part of the Victorian Era, she was an interesting mix of the utmost propriety and manners thrown in with a little bit of feminist ideals, although she never would have referred to herself as a feminist. She grew up in a family of ten children, of Scots-Irish decent, and her father was the Vice-President of the local college in their small town. She lived in a lovely Victorian mansion, complete with soaring foyer and large, oak stair case leading to the upper levels of the home. She married my grandfather there in her parent’s home, during the 1930’s, and I can always recall their wedding picture from the deep recesses of my mind. It is a pale black and white photo, gently faded with time. My grandmother wears tight pin-curls and a long, satin wedding dress that appears to have come straight from a Hollywood set. My grandfather smiles proudly from under his Clarke Gable mustache, with his own hair slicked against his head with pome-aid, as was the gentlemanly style of the time. The grand, old oak stair case stands study in the background, as if to say, ‘These are times when things are built to last’. My grandparents marriage did last, though it was fraught with bickering. My grandfather died before my grandmother, as he was what we refer to today as a chain smoker. In his day, he was a government employee, and all of the boys in his office smoked. The cinema of that time glorified smoking, and so did advertisements. I even saw a vintage advertisement that promoted smoking as a health benefit. These were the times he lived in. So, naturally, he passed away before grandmother.

One of my favorite places to shop for underwear is Bare Necessities. They are always having fantastic sales, their website is extremely easy to navigate, and I always find exactly what I’m looking for at a price I can afford.

I’ve made the mistake of going into specialty bra shops to buy a bra, only to come home and find out I could have gotten it for a lot cheaper, had I ordered it online from BareNecessities.com.

You can find all the top brands of shapewear, panties, bras, and even lingerie and sleepwear. They even carry stuff for men (I bought my hubby a pair of hot Emporio Armani briefs!!) and specialty items like Full-figure bras in sizes 36C to 54H.

Best part of all, their clearance section!

If you’re supposed to wear it underneath something else, than chances are you can find it at Bare Necessities. They have everything! Even socks, hosiery, slips, camis, and even Yummie Tummie tanks!

What woman doesn’t want a comfortable bra? Seems like we’re always searching for a bra that will fit well, look great, and not dig into our sides. I have about 67 bras, so I’ve definitely weeded out the comfortable bras from the do-not-buy bras.

One of absolute favorites brands when it comes to comfort undergarments is Wonderbra.

I first reviewed Wonderbra about a year ago when they launched their new website. I tried out 2 bras that I ended up loving so much that I just bought another one on HerRoom.com for 30% off!

Wonderbra Uprising II Push-up
Underwire Bra
Price: $32.00 On Sale $21.99

Being a size 34A, I need all the help I can get when it comes to making my girls look half way decent. Most bras, even if they are in my size, don’t fit quite right. I don’t have that problem with Wonderbra though.

The fit is precise, true to size, comfortable underwires, great push-up pads, and a comfortable elastic back that doesn’t stretch out over time. I have had the Wonderbra Uprising II Push-up Underwire Bra in black for over a year and it’s definitely one of my favorite bras. It’s perfect under sheer tops, t-shirts, and tanks yet has a low enough plunge front so I can wear it with wrap dresses and v-necks without revealing too much.

I was so happy when I found Wonderbras for 30% off at HerRoom.com. I bought the Wonderbra Uprising II Push-up Underwire Bra in Ivory and the Wonderbra Inspring Push In Underwire Bra in Black. Each one was only $21.99, regularly $32.00.

If you are looking for comfortable bras that also make your girls look great, try Wonderbra. Get 30% off till 6/29/2009 at HerRoom.com.

Since the weather has started warming up, so has my house making it necessary to put away my warm winter pajamas and pull out the nightgowns and other summer sleepwear. After pulling out my small stock of summer sleepwear, I realized I had a fine collection of silk nightgowns from Victoria’s Secret, but nothing non-sexy I could just lounge around it. I had a few things from when i was pregnant, but since I’m about 30 pounds lighter now, they don’t exactly fit…

Looks like I need to go sleepwear shopping!

Fortunately, until then I have a fabulous Italian Meryl micro fiber camisole from MyAdea.com. It’s super soft and comfy, while providing enough coverage that I don’t feel like I’m running around the house naked. I have one in a coral color that I’ve been wearing a lot for the last couple weeks. I just throw it on with some shorts or cotton pajama bottoms and I’m all set to watch TV with the hubs and then hop right into bed afterwards.

I love Adea because their pieces are sumptuously soft and it feels great against your skin. The fine Italian micro fiber makes each piece ‘breathe’ and lets you maintain body temperature balance. The unique fabric lets you retain body heat in cool weather and lets perspiration escape during warm weather. Memory yarn retains its shape, returning to its fresh body hugging fit after every wear, and won’t catch on clothing. It’s also amazingly wrinkle resistant, making it a must-have for traveling and vacations. These basics are a necessity for your wardrobe!

These fabulous long Bamboo pants are from the feminine and luxurious Charlotte Collection from Cosabella. Charlotte is all about classic elegance. She always wears a perfectly chic ensemble that incorporates her style, beauty and quiet confidence. These pants are the personification of Charlotte’s style.

Select items from the Charlotte Collection by Cosabella are available at Yandy.com. They recently added fine lingerie items from the highest quality brands imported from around the world.

These super soft modal and bamboo blend pants have a sweet ruffle trim along elastic waistband. The moisture-wicking properties in the fabric keeps you feeling cool and dry, making these perfect for summer.

I’ve recently become a huge fan of bamboo sleepwear and was really happy to add these super soft pants to my collection. They are by far some of the nicest pants I’ve ever had the pleasure of sleeping in. I definitely recommend them for summer because they are light-weight and will keep you comfortable.

Last September I discovered the wonders of the one and only Vanishing Edge Panties from Soma Intimates.

They normally retail for about $12.00 a pair, a small price to pay for the excellent fit and comfort they provide. Every now and again though, they have a Panty Raid Sale where you can 5 pairs of Vanishing Edge panties for only $25! Click here to shop Soma’s Panty Raid. Offer Valid 5-20-09 to 5-25-09 so you have to hurry!

They have some new styles and prints that I just couldn’t resist:

Vanishing Edge Cotton/Modal Blend Hipster

Vanishing Edge Microfiber Boyshort

Vanishing Edge Cotton/Modal Blend High Leg Brief

So yeah… I bought 5 pairs! Came to $25 + $8 shipping & handling = $33.00 I can’t wait for them to arrive! I love the Vanishing Edge underwear because they are lightweight, thin, don’t ride up or give me a wedgie, ever, and they are nearly invisible under clothing.

Nothing ruins an outfit faster than obvious panty lines… And until I discovered Vanishing Edge Panties, the undies that were invisible under my clothes, were deffinitely NOT wedgie-free. I hate having to stop every 5 minutes to fish for my undies. And no one wants to resort to wearing granny panties just avoid wedgies. Ugh! That will ruin your outfit AND your mood…

So do yourself a favor… Go buy yourself some wedgie free undies that are actually sexy!

If you want to buy more than just panties, you can get $20 off your purchase of $60 or more at Soma.com. Click here and enter Code 7258 at Checkout. Offer Valid 05.04.09 to 06.03.09.

Our favorite men’s underwear designer, Andrew Christian, blows our minds yet again with his latest design. New “Show-It” enhancing underwear features “Show-It” technology 2.0 that… shows it.

I try to be refined and modest on this blog as much as possible, but I gotta warn you… it’s hard to talk about sexy men’s underwear in polite company. So if you’re polite and you don’t want the hubs wearing sexy undies, you can skip this post. For ladies that want a little treat, read on!

Maximize your office and business attire with just 1 article of clothing – an undergarment to be exact. The new 9to5 Bra covers up cleavage so you can wear more of your wardrobe to work. Turn evening wear into more suitable office attire with just a bra!

The 9to5 bra incorporates a fabric structure, which not only hides cleavage but also reduces the need for bulky, layered outfits. The bra generates lift, shape and confidence as it creates a flattering and professional figure. Wink’s 9to5 is made with the finest materials and is manufactured in Canada.

Research indicates the average woman could create four new outfits from her existing wardrobe with the 9to5 bra. In today’s economic times, increasing the versatility of a wardrobe by purchasing one new bra instead of four new outfits is definitely an attractive proposal.

Before and After

Check out more before and after pictures >>

Ms. Clair, creator of the bra states:

“Many business women have a great wardrobe. Unfortunately, they cannot wear some of their favorite outfits to the office due to plunging necklines that show too much to be office appropriate. This bra creates a functional barrier that makes this concern history.”

The Wink 9to5 is currently being sold for $113 USD at winkintimates.com. The price includes FREE shipping to all Canadian and US addresses. The website also offers sizing tips, before & after photos and a free size exchange program to help ensure the perfect fit.

Buying a versatile bra like this is more practical than trying to layer, especially during the warmer months. While a camisole under another top may be comfortable for winter, it’s not a great idea for summer! With the 9to5 bra, you can wear sexy, low-cut tops without looking provocative. Whether you need to cover up for church, the office, or a special dinner meeting, the 9to5 bra is a great solution.

I found the bra to fit true to size and it’s very comfortable. The straps are appealing, so it’s a great choice for wearing under camisoles as well. I think this is a great idea to maximize your current wardrobe to make it more versatile!

I’m totally gushing over Affinitas Intimates new Spring / Summer 2009 Collection of sexy bras and panties. They have a bunch of new items that are totally delicious…

Los Angeles-based Affinitas has established itself, in just a few years, as a young, affordable lingerie line. Affinitas Intimates includes bras, boyshorts, thongs and camis that are flirty, fun and sassy.

If you’re like most women, you’re probably stuck in a rut of wearing just any old cotton panties and a comfortable bra, regardless of weather it matches or not. Well, on behalf of your husband and your inner goddess, I’m begging you to stop doing that right now!

I used to wear just any old undies and a crappy bra because, let’s face it, nobody really sees it. And if you’ve been married for a while, you figure the hubs doesn’t really care, right? Wrong cupcake!

Spice up your life and your self confidence with something from Affinitas new Spring / Summer Collection. Here are 3 New pieces I’m loving…

My favorite one is the New Samantha Collection (shown far right.) It’s sexy without being too over the top which makes it perfect for everyday wear. Throw it on under your casual clothes and feel a little bit sexier all day long. Only you will know the secret to your new-found confidence!

You can get the bra and panties above on HerRoom.com as well as a few other pieces from the new Spring / Summer 2009 Collection.
