Spotlight: Simone Perele

Last week we got in this amazing “Nina” bra by Simone Perele, and it is the most glorious fig colour. It really looks fantastic against the skin and is both sexy and discreet – it is almost invisible, with a delicate smooth finish.

Don’t you love that photograph of the bra? When we saw it we thought it looked like a scene from a 60’s mystery film. That might not be a coincedence! Simone Perele says their ‘Nina’ bra is one of a collection that pays tribute to iconic women, past and present, taking inspiration from designers, actresses and artists admired for their boldness and free spirits.

Simone Perele describes the lace design of this bra as “the light delicate lines of a flower…translated to a knit inspired by ancestral Japanese origami”, and they deliver on this while still providing a comfortable fit. Did you know Simone Perele was an actual woman? Simone was a corset maker who established the brand in 1948 as a way of expressing her belief that women should not have to choose between being comfortable and being attractive! An idea we like quite a bit.

We were inspired to put together an outfit inspired by this bra – something we do often! We just find the colour very inspiring. Perfect for fall!

Now that the bra shopping issue is taken care of, where are we going to get that trench coat and blouse?

Plumtastic for Fall

September 24th, 2009

With each new season comes the new colour and style trends. For a few years plums and purples have been ‘uptrending’ and becoming more popular, and this fall, the regal colours are everywhere!

We often get asked if wearing a one shoulder, off the shoulder, deep v or wrap style tops are really only for the smaller busted gal. Of course not! In fact, these looks are flattering to busty gals. And you don’t even have to go strapless to make this look work. Lingerie colour trends follow fashion!

Check out Elomi’s “Cleo” in beautiful plum, and imagine it paired with the great tops pictured….

Showing off pretty bra straps is fun! These tops could be paired with any of our fantastic strapless options, but why limit yourself? Showing off your pretty plum straps is fun, and looks totally intentional – by which we mean to say that it looks as if you planned the outfit that way, not that you settled on showing your bra with that top because you had no other options!
