Now, you may be under the impression that the Spanx range of body-shaping lingerie is only for women who want to ‘hold it all in’. Wrong! It’s not there to make the wearer look three sizes smaller (which brings up the cartoonish image of everything bursting out when the lingerie comes off). Spanx are far from being ‘Bridget Jones knickers’. They are designed to make you look foxy, not frumpy.

Spanx products were created owing to the designer’s desire to deal with the problem of lingerie showing under clothing. Haven’t we all seen or experienced that problem? You have a fab dress for a special occasion, but as you admire your appearance in front of the mirror, it’s spoilt by the dreaded Visible Panty Line … Unless you’re Madonna, who wants people to see your underwear? So Spanx was born.

Again and again, satin comes into fashion. Have you seen those lovely satin dresses in the shops this season? Unfortunately, satin is the most unforgiving of all fabrics as they say. Even the most shapely of women is likely to fall prey to those lines showing through the satin. The solution, however, is simple. Grab yourself a bodysuit or a pair of shaping shorts, and the satin dress will be the star of the show.

Celebrities are always on show, and well aware of the need to look good. Stars such as Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani and Bridget Jones herself, Renee Zellweger, all slip into their Spanx to look good on the red carpet.There’s a Spanx product to solve every sartorial problem and stop clinging garments clinging in the wrong places. Bras, panties, camis, slip, bodysuits … even men are not left out, with supportive and flattening undershirts. Plus women can buy hosiery and swimsuits.

That Right Bag for You

Us women like to have many bags. They are accessories and just as important as ear rings. But, did you know that a handbag can flatter your shape just as much as the right pair of jeans? Try out these easy steps to getting bag in agreement to your figure so it can polish up your style in a flash.
Shapes- choose a shape that is the opposite of your body type. If you’re short and rounded, choose a handbag that is tall and rectangular or long and sleek. If you are tall and thin, look for a slouchy, rounded hobo bag to compliment your figure. That doesn’t mean that you have to carry a hard box around to counterbalance your womanly shape: rectangular or square silhouettes in soft leathers or fabrics will do the trick. Scale- the size of the bag should be in proportion to your figure while the shape should oppose your body type.
A shoulder bag’s length (where the bottom of the bag hits your body) will accentuate whatever part of the body it comes near. Women look great with a bag that hits mid-torso, it flatters the waist. Tips- try on handbags in front of a mirror, don’t be tempted by trendy shapes that don’t suit your figure.

There is no figure more challenging to dress than the mother-to-be. This is a shape that is exactly opposite of the hour glass figure we all know so picking jean is a tough job. After speaking with moms to be there was some jeans that were found to be flattering even on the most picky of moms.
They all agreed that the jeans must look amazing and they need to play down the plumber’s butt. Just because you are pregnant does not mean you need to pay more for your jeans.
Of all the jeans that the mom chose, Paige seemed to come out on the top of the list. Those who know Paige understand their amazing fit and when they released a maternity line, it was a welcome surprise to many future moms. These still give that important look of being ten pounds thinner but with the nylon belly panel that will stretch for you throughout your whole nine months. Being a mom to be means still showing your style while you wait for the little one to arrive.
