Lingerie – Inspired Fashion
April 30, 2011
I have always loved the high fashion, straight off the runway look of lingerie turned into daywear.
But how does the everyday girl include some of these pieces without going too far? The answer my dear, is a little planning, and a lot of confidence. There are a few simple rules for this bombshell look:
1. Be careful, its very easy to get carried away with lingerie, I do that all the time. Make sure to keep it down to earth with contrasting elements. If you are going for a frilly piece, pair it with a structured jacket with simple, clean lines or try some cute boyfriend jeans with a delicate assortment of camisoles.
2. Corset tops are great for a boudoir inspired outfit. So are layered sheer fabrics; lace and pink or nude colors. Keep in mind to pair light colors with high impact colors like black to avoid being washed out.
3. Make sure to check all angles before leaving the house. Lingerie can be sheer, so make sure you layer accordingly.
4. Confidence! You are a sexy, stylish gal, so let everyone know it. There is no reason why you can not include some of your lingerie pieces into your every day outfits, so go ahead and experiment! Here are a few fun examples:
Ana Beatriz Barros, an international supermodel, wears a cute chemise with accessories to give off a hippie-chic vibe. Try that with our Christine Vancouver “Vinyard Babydoll Chemise”. Add in some statement jewelry and skinny jeans and you are set!

One trend that is just hitting the streets is visible garter belts. This look would be perfect for an adventurous night out on the town!
The key to this look is finding the right length skirt for you. As a general rule, if you are a little more revealing on the bottom try to tone it down in the cleavage area to keep the outfit classy (and visa versa). Try our Jezebel “Cherished Lace Garter Belt” with the straps fully extended. Maybe add a structured blouse or jacket and finish it up with some thigh highs from StockinGirl.

The great thing about lingerie is that it can fit into every style. I love the ballerina type look of camisoles and pale pinks, but you can also take a lacy garment and pair it with a punk rock outfit. It’s all about contrast! Contrast provides intrigue, and that is the first step to being sexy!

Only Hearts Lingerie
January 2, 2010
Beginning in 1978 in New York City, Only Hearts was a store for the shameless romantic. It was filled with everything heart related and abounded with beautiful items of clothing. Creator Helena Stuart started a trend of wearing lingerie as outerwear, and didn’t turn back. Although back then it was considered a little odd or even improper, it was that risk that began what is today considered a stylish and fresh approach to a woman’s everyday wardrobe. Along with her daughter Kaya, the brand has grown to the extreme, being featured in major magazines, large department stores and small boutiques, and includes many beautiful fashions. Recently, they have included another store on their list with OH:PoP, where they have limited edition Only Hearts Vintage Pieces that have never been worn, styles that are as hip today as they were back then, celebrities such as Madonna and Chloe Sevigny are frequent shoppers.

Tesa By Escante’

Show off and shape your figure with the lovely and affordable Tesa Corsets, Bustiers, and Mini Jackets by Escante’. Wear them as they are or over a blouse, the perfect item from work or play. Best of all they are fun to wear!
Melony Side-Zip Corset
The Melony Side-Zip Corset can be worn under a jacket for the soft conservative look or wear it in the evening to lighten up the night.
The Luxurious Lace Midriff Corset is quite flattering and by lifting the busts and giving that hour-glass look attains that “sexy” look.
Luxurious Lace Midriff Corset
Tesa Corsets are designed with lace-up backs. The best way to wear the corsets or bustiers is by leaving the top and bottom two-inches open with more slack while tightening the center to give it that hour-glass shape.
Many of the corsets and bustiers have been designed with such features as shoulder straps and zippers on the side. With the zippers, once you get the laces cinched in back to how you want them the zipper allows you to easily take it on and off while leaving the laces in the same position for your next wear. The Tesa Rose Sienna Inset Corset is one of the corsets that has both shoulder straps as well as a hidden zipper!

To compliment the corsets, see Escante’s great collection of Tesa Mini Jackets in Mesh or Lace. They’re a great way to cover your shoulders and accessorize the look.
