Our Staff work so hard, and they deserve a break. July is Holiday Month at secrets from your sister… and to streamline our efforts, we have decided we will close Mondays and Tuesdays at our Yonge location.

This closure is at the Yonge Street location only. Our store at Bloor and Bathurst will remain open.

We hope this does not cause any inconvenience and we thank you for your patience during the month of July.

Please check out our summer hours at each location by clicking here.

Join the Thigh Society!

June 28th, 2010

The summer months are so hot and sticky in the city of Toronto. We suffer from heat, smog and intense humidity. The beautiful city isn’t so beautiful when you feel gross and uncomfortable! Alas, things are about to get a lot more comfortable.

We now carry Thigh Society, which are sleek, chic, comfortable knickers designed to be worn under dresses and skirts. That’s right, ladies who are blessed with curvy thighs: say goodbye to chafed inner thighs forever!

Thigh Society is a unique panty designed in Canada to help prevent inner thigh rub. Here’s what makes Thigh Society different:

Sleek Design:

  • So super soft and light, you’ll forget you’re wearing them!
  • Plenty of fabric coverage to protect your delicate skin
  • No visible panty lines
  • Ultra comfortable thanks to chafe resistant flat seams
  • Sits below your skirt or pant waistline
  • Just enough stretch to hug your body for a fabulous fit
  • Fabric-covered waistband won’t pinch or roll down
  • Leg band moves with you, not up on you
  • Double lined gusset (crotch) of the same fabric is a built-in panty

Fantastic Fabric:

  • Black is available in a soft and breathable fabric blend of 57% rayon from bamboo, 37% cotton and 6% spandex
  • Beige available in 92% cotton, 8% spandex
  • Absorbs and evaporates moisture to keep you cool and dry.

Made in Canada! Sizes Small through 4XL!

These awesome knickers are even pre-shrunk and are machine washable. We think they’d be great to wear under skirts even if you don’t experience thigh rub. They’d help keep your privates that way when riding your bike to work with a skirt on – or on a windy day.  In store now and ready for you to try out. Let us know what you think of this new product!

Summer Dressing Series: Part 1

June 18th, 2010

Part One: Prints, Brights and Black

The weather is warm and the sun is bright. The official start of summer is just around the corner. Dressing for summer events is fun but sometimes a challenge. In part one of the series, we’ll talk about Prints, Brights and Black. In parts two and three, we’ll cover beige bras and being ‘invisible’ as well as white bras and ways to work cool summer lace.  Here’s to keeping yourself stylish and well supported this summer!

Black Bras – Take a Plunge!

Plunge styles are available up to an H cup! Have you tried Panache’s “Tango Plunge”? It’s amazing. It’s low enough that it works under wrap tops, plunging necklines and it even works under many styles of bridesmaid’s dresses, because the straps are wider set. Try this bra with low cut tanks, square necklines and more. Black bras work great under grey and black as well as any darker colour like navy or green. Try it under white…if you dare!

Brights! Brights! Brights!

Beige is not always best. Yes we offer beige bras because they disappear under white clothes, but we don’t think they are your only summer solution! Other colours such as pink and orange are often invisible under light clothes as well. Further to that,  so many wardrobes feature colour in the summer, why not use your bras to mix it up? We happen to think having a hot pink bra strap peek out from a bright blue top is fun. How about soft pink under a summer blouse? We love to layer colours and make the bra part of our fashion look.

Now in store we have Freya’s “Summer”:

Prints Charming

White can be right! White is often the base colour of printed bras. In July, we’re celebrating white lace at secrets but before we talk about pure white, let’s enjoy white as the base for this pretty-in-pink option. With stunning lace across the upper cup and opaque white print across the lower cup, you’ll be surprised by how versatile this bra is.

Try adding white into your lingerie wardrobe with the stunning new “Felicity” by Fantasie:

This set is just so darn pretty. The white lace will contrast in such a lovely way against sun kissed skin, and the pink flowers add a touch of delicacy. But this set is quirky too – the print is vibrant, the straps are funky and we love the white, pink and green combination this set provides us. The floral print is super trendy this summer, and will look great under other floral prints for a pretty layered effect!

We’re feeling more pumped for summer events already! Now, off to a patio for a rum punch to celebrate our new summer lingerie style!
