SPANX / ASSETS Lounge at New York Fashion Week

During New York Fashion Week, I stopped by the SPANX Lounge at The Empire Hotel to what was new for Fall 2012 and preview the Spring 2013 collection. SPANX has always been my go-to for shapewear, from high-waisted panties to half slips. Two of my favorites are the SPANX Skinny Britches skort and ASSETS Red Hot Label Featherweight Firmers half slip. Featured at the lounge was ASSETS Red Hot Label Luxe and Lean High-Waist Thong and ASSETS Red Hot Label Sleek Slimmers tank slip.

What I am really excited for this fall season are the Look-at-Me ribbed, textured leggings, perfect to pair with a tunic and is available in different colors. Swimwear is looking more sexy and appealing, with swim dresses in shirred mesh with piping details, suitable on and off the beach - no cover-up needed. I also love the chic blue cheetah print. If you are looking for activewear, check out the slimming designs on the tanks and camis and be on the lookout for colorblocked sports bras.

Spanx Spring/Summer 2011

Last season, during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2011 I stopped by the Spanx Lounge to preview what was new for spring.

Spanx tights are my favorite tights to wear, including tummy-trimming tonal tights in bright new colors as well as patterned ones.


I love the luxe, sexy Haute Contour pieces, including the Sexy Sheer Back Bra ($118) and Lovely Lace Thong ($88).




On Top and In Control Essential 3/4 Sleeve Bateau ($98) is the perfect layering piece, or can also be worn alone. It's too cold for me to wear a strapless dress in this weather, so I may just have to wear this top under it! It also has invisible shaping built in! Check out the other On Top and In Control styles!

I can't wait to try the Skinny Britches Skort ($48)! An ultra sheer slip and shaper in one, that can be layered over the Skinny Britches short and hipster!


I love the color and style of this High Style Bandeau One Piece ($198). It's flattering to the figure, with a two-way stretch shaping-power-mesh liner that slims through the tummy. The convertible strap can also be adjusted or removed.


New from ASSETS is the ASSETS Brilliant Bra, $32. This bra has a front closure, hidden adjustable straps and a sleek smooth back! The ASSETS Fantastic Firmers Open-Bust Cami, $28 is perfect to pair with the bra. The open-bust style enhances the chest yet slims the waist!
