Ashley Paige for Target is a downer

What is knitted all over? Comes in two pieces? And painfully boring? The Ashley Paige for Target bikini collection. Even if I was thirteen I still don't think I'd want to buy one they're Not So Pretty. First of all knit leaves nothing to the imagination and it wont enhance, support, or do anything for your boobs. Second, the bottoms on all the bikini's are so mundane and I question how they will actually hold up after some fun in the sun. Most of them are held on by strings, so they'll have to be tied up well. However, being made of knit fabric means they probably wont untie.
Okay so maybe the rainbow is kind of cute, but if you compare what's sold on her website to what's at Target, then it's a complete let down. Plus, there are zero one pieces in her collection for Target- those are the cutest ones on her site. Although, $29.99 vs. $250 for a bikini is significant difference. Besides, it's all about the Power of Juan anyways. Below are pics of brighter hues that I wished we would've seen.

Ladies, meet my new best friend

Let's talk boobies. I've got them, lots of them. Yes, ladies, I'm a D cup and sometime during the whole PMS thing I get even bigger. I know, I know, where are the whining violins? But while those with smaller boobs may be jealous, I do want to point out that along with curves comes backaches, slouching, and real hard time shopping. And try finding the perfect bra minimizer? Impossible!! I once asked one of those chicks at Victoria's Secret if they carried any and she looked about me like I was a total weirdo. Yes, I'm crazy, I'd like to slim down my chest and fit into smaller things. I'd like my shirts to button, and I'd like to have a dress that fits me everywhere else fit in that one place that's always sticking on the most: the boobies. Phew, rant over.

So after a long, arduous task of finding "the most comfortable bra ever," I believe I've reached the end of my journey. At the end of my path stood this man:

Dr. Rey (AKA, Dr. 90210)

Or maybe you'd recognize him more in his muscle-shirt scrubs:
Yes, the same Dr. 90210 with the wife who "forgets" to eat, who gave vaginal reconstructive surgery to his own secretary and who cried when he got his black belt in karate. (I'm a very passionate viewer of reality television!) " I will always have a soft spot forever for the guy because of Dr. Rey's Shapewear Minimizer Bra is hands down the best, most comfortable, most effective bra minimizer I've ever tried. It holds those puppies in like nobody's business and it's comfortable. I think it bears repeating: it's comfortable! Wow, is that a rare commodity in a minimizing bra.

You may be surprised that my fave bra came from him. "What does this man know about boobs?" you may ask. How dare you question his expertise! I think this man has been around more boobs than Don Juan. I've never used a bra that was shaped like this one and kind of doubted it's power on first use. Oh, but man, was it wonderful. Not only did it give me great support and slim me down, it also gave me some great cleavage. It's also conveniently seamless so you can wear it under the tightest of t-shirts (which you can now fit into - hooray!) with no problem. Yes, I know, it's not the sexiest bra to look at, but who gives a shit when you're super comfortable, standing up straight, and don't have your boobs pulling apart your buttoned up shirt at the chest? Not me!

I heart this bra and I'm totally going to Sears.com and buying a couple more.

Gold thong encore?

Pam Anderson's exposing catwalk strut during Richie Rich's show at NY Fashion week left everyone gasping for air. She'll follow up this revealing performance by gracing the stage at Vivienne Westwood's show in Paris next week. This boobified celeb is already the face of Westwood's Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign photographed by Juergen Teller. FYI that is the Vivienne Westwood standing next the shirtless man and great dane below.

My boobies new BFF

I am pretty much all about layering! It's the perfect way to complete any look and can either dress you up or down depending on the outfit. LA Pretty, Tiffany Saidina knows this, as designer behind the Tt Collection, she has lots of layerific looks for us to experiment with. Tt is a collection of adorable comfy clothes that can easily be dressed up or down and perfect all around. They are classic, functional, and unique. It is for the women who believe in individuality. That would be every woman in LA, we love color and expressing ourselves through clothing, opposite of boring black NYC.
This LA based company just launched Tt mates alongside their Spring '09 collection. These underpinnings compliment Saidina's Spring looks perfectly. Tt mates consist of cami's, tanks, slips, leggings, and more. Each of the different styles are available in classic cream, black, white, and heather grey. Best of all, the garments are individually packaged in petite Tt boxes reminiscient of classic a dressing room. I can not express how unbelievably adorbale the packaging is! This is the perfect gift for your girlfriends.


Personally, I love my Tt mates applique cami and am able to layer it with practically anything. It is quite sheer though, but I'm comfortable wearing it on its own as well. There's also a lot of clothes from Tt's collection that are amazing, like this Lulu skirt.

Get a sexy look for less

With Valentine's Day coming up next weekend, we know that it's important to look good in the bedroom. Sexy options tend to be a bit pricey like this Burberry camisole that sells for $225 on Net-A-Porter. Ouch! That'll hurt the bank account.


Instead, we found this darling camisole ($65) and bloomers ($60) set from Zinke Designs. The set is 100% silk and comes in an orchid pink color with white detailing or white with blue detailing. It's also way hotter than that Burberry number above. The bloomers, or shorts, are adjustable along with the straps of the cami. The set is very lovely and a lot sexier than that old shirt and shorts you're probably still wearing to bed. Toss those away and feel sexy in satin.


Zinke Designs was created by Arin Robinson who also does event planning. That means she has eye for what people like! When she made the leap into product design she did so with subtle elegance, attention to detail and artistic flair. Her high-concept collection employs luxurious material and classic design to produce stunning, unique items. I couldn't agree more and we look forward to more designs and sexy sleep accessories from Zinke.

Agent Provocatuer -- bringing out bigger boobs

Okay, okay, we Pretties get it -- we might be wearing the wrong size bra. But according to this hilarious report from Jezebel, trying to find a universal size for your bra can be problematic -- especially when going to a store like Agent Provocateur. No worries, however, as the sales-ladies will apparently have no qualms about getting intimate with you and your boobs in the dressing room and help you find, as in Jezebel's case, that European sizing means that your boobs could be bigger "size" there than in the U.S. Yay for vanity sizing!

Speak of the A.P. I do like their ads. But perhaps I'm not as much as a seductress as I'd like to be because my fave bra on the whole site is the sweet-looking, cherry-covered Cheryl that is on sale for the bargain price of $80:

Boobies! (You know you want to read this.)

With all the party-hopping during these chilly holiday nights, many ladies are finding their Pretties poking out from their satin dresses. Never fear -- our fave underwear gurus at Her Look have just the thing to make sure you won't put out someone's eye with those things!

With or without a bra (go you!) you can apply these ouch-less, latex free adhesives to cover up boobies that are making themselves far too apparent. And with 5 pairs for $10, you can always keep a pair in your purse.

Your mother would approve.
