INTIMACY Lingerie Sample Sale

Wolford Shape & Control Preview

On October 25th, I stopped by the Wolford Soho boutique at 122 Greene Street to preview the Shape & Control line of lingerie and legwear, available in Light, Medium and Strong control levels. Light offers slight support, Medium a "second skin" effect for more intense shaping and Strong for maximum shape effects. 

The preview was hosted by ILOVEAGOOD's Jenny Altman and Danielle Black. Guests experience the collection through shapewear fittings while enjoying cocktails and cupcakes. 

One of my favorites from Wolford is the Individual Nature Forming Body ($180), a tank-style bodysuit that makes for the perfect undergarment and basic shapewear piece. I actually wore it in black (also available in nude) under my Doo Ri gown at the International Emmys. It is seamless and sheer, and feels very natural and comfortable. It slims down the waist and tummy area without feeling restrictive. The XS has the perfect fit. I'm sure the top, shorts, skirt and dress are just as amazing! 

You can shop Wolford online at wolfordshop.com.

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.
