Sexy new arrivals

Rêves Capiteux , a collection by Aubade has arrived! Say hello to 40s Hollywood Glamor and goodbye to 80s grunge that has been seen around town lately. J'adore Aubade!

$3 Million Dollar Hollow Boob!

Finally, it's here! For a cool three million, you too can have a nice hollow boob too! Diamonds are suppose to be a girl's best friend, but this is just another case of an awful fitting bra. Diamonds or no diamonds, there is an obscene amount of spillage and weird looking cleavage for this style of bra.

Ew

Ok we get it, the 80's are on a comeback but this has taken it too far! Some images of the collection Rodarte is doing for Target this December have hit the web, and the only word that comes to mind to describe it is GRUNGE. Will you be heading to Target December 20th to pick up your local Grunge? Thumbs down for this tres moche twist on lingerie as fashion.

Fall Sale at Embrasse-moi

Chocoalte + Fashion = I just died and went to Heaven

Paris held its 15th World Chocolate Fair last Tuesday, featuring a fashion show with ensembles made en chocolate. One question, WHY didn't they call me to help with the clean up after the show!? Yes, I would lick chocolate off of a Parisian runway and I don't care who knows it.

French celebrities clad in candy took to the runway to benefit a children's charity. Très intéressant don't you think?

Examples of Bras That do not Fit Properly

While we are not at liberty to discuss what company used these photos as their advertisement, we can use them as a perfect example of an ill-fitting bra! As expert bra fitters, these images make our stomachs turn! Can you spot why these three bras do not fit properly? If not then you yourself are most likely wearing the wrong size bra!!

1. The first bra is causing "mountain boob"- when the cup is too small and your breast is spilling out of the top causing an extra boob to form. Needless to say not a good look when you're wearing a fitted top. The breast is clearly being squished by the bra- let the girls breathe!!

2. Is this picture going for cleavage or a squished boob look? I don't think I've ever had a customer ask me to give them a bra that will make them look squished- if it's cleavage you want, this is not the proper way to obtain it. A push up bra should not only lift, but separate as well!

3. The hollow boob. Yes, when your bra does not fit properly it can create a concave look in your chest (as seen at the breast bone above). A bra is supposed to rest directly on your breast bone, not an inch away from it therein causing the hollow boob.

I bet these models are itching to get out of these bras as fast as possible because there is no way these sizes are comfortable!

Lingerie is making quite a name for itself in the fashion scene in Paris this week! Celebrities are turning heads as they don intimates as outerwear, and all week designers have been adding their visions to the newest trend. I am dying over Dior's RTW Spring 2010 line that is dripping with forties film noir and of course, lingerie. John Galliano devoted the spring show to the queen bee of such forties gals, Lauren Bacall, and her trench-wearing other half, Humphrey Bogart. WWD.com states, "he replaced traditional suits with unmatched pairings, including those with satin tap pants and an embroidered tulle dress. “It’s younger,” he said. “The ladies will find matching pieces in the boutiques.”
YES!
What the genius says is true, you will find them in the boutiques, especially at Embrasse-moi! Do catch the train too late on this trend and end up in the caboose...

Have an afternoon snack

Everyone loves a yummy snack, but one that might help you or your daughter, mother, sister, aunt, or friend fight off breast cancer? The best kind.

Glamour.com reports that even though nuts tend to be high in fat, it's GOOD fat, and a handful every so often can do the tatas good.


The best nut to munch on?

Walnuts!

According the the New York Times, Walnuts were the Original Health Nut and these tasty nuts contain a cocktail of compounds that have been found to reduce the size of breast lumps.

Here are some tasty ways to enjoy walnuts:

*Add them to chocolate chip cookies- yum!
*Grind and sprinkle on your oatmeal
*Mix into yogurt
*Eat whole, with apple slices
*Add to salads

Lower your risk of breast cancer today!

Epigenetics con't....

According to the experts these five rules could drastically reduce your chance of getting breast cancer:

1. Exercise- it is the #1 thing you can do and by maintaining a healthy weight it could cut your risk by 23%

2. Watch what you drink- one study found that each daily glass raises a woman's risk up to 12 %... scary!!

3. Know your own breasts- while every woman should get to know her own breasts she doesn't need to go on a formal cancer hunt each month. Doing a "formal song and dance is no better than the poking around we all do, and it could lead to unneeded tests"

4. Make smart reproductive health choices- breast feed, have your first baby in your twenties, and take the Pill with the lowest dose of estrogen

5. Get more Vitamin D! - taking 1,000 IU of the vitamin daily may be best for women

Take care of your tatas ladies! Don't forget to stop in Embrasse-moi today for your complimentary fitting and help Fit for a Cure!

Epigenetics

Epigenetics & breast cancer is a breakthrough concept- of understanding what makes the environment around your breast cells toxic or healthy. It's GREAT news! According to the experts, unlike hereditary breast cancer gene mutations, epigenetic changes can be reversed. Stay tuned this week for what the experts know and what you can do to lower your risk.
