When you live out of a suitcase, it is important to have a wardrobe of well made, perfectly fitted undergarments. Bras and panties can make or break an outfit. Your wardrobe should consist of the following:
1. A t shirt/ sweater bra: Usually smooth cuts with subtle shaping. No one wants back fat in a tee or a sweater. Some of my favorites are:
Victoria's Secret "Showstopper" - smooth, seamless, sexy, comes in a bunch of different colors.
Gap Body Shaping Tee Shirt Bra - lightly padded, classic lines, no show through
Fig Leaves Basics Second Skin Microfiber T-Shirt Bra - super comfy, virtually seamless, looks great under everything from Tees to flimsy summer tanks.
2. Strapless/Convertible Bra: Self explanatory - I love a good strapless bra but if you want extra credit, go for an excellent convertible (more uses for all those crazy dresses!) Because I am busty, it's usually a nightmare trying to find a bra that keeps things, ahem, "alert" - once again Victoria's Secret does me so right! My favorite Strapless bra of all time is The Confident and Curvy Strapless Minimizer this bra is gorgeous and it makes you look like an Italian movie star. LOVE.
Here are a few other amazing strapless bras:
Warner's "This is not a bra" Strapless Underwire Bra - comfy, no digging in, zero back fat
Wacoal's Halo Lace Seamless Convertible Bra - super sexy, looks great on, ultra comfy (Bonus: it's convertible!)
3. Sexy push-up: For obvious reasons. It's important to have a few bras in your rep that are completely frivolous - lacy, delicate, tons of bows and ruffles. What's the point of being a girl without shamelessly indulging in pretty underthings? Some of my favorites:
Agent Provocateur - You cannot go wrong with ANYTHING on this site. Super sexy with an old school flare. A little pricey but well worth it - plus their perfumes and soaps are TO DIE for.
Frederick's of Hollywood - Trashy, sexy, amazing sales and deals, fantastic corsets.
4. Sports Bra: A good sports bra is breathable, snug, and above all comfy. I have been loyal to the same sports bra for many years and you can get it at Target!
C9 By Champion - amazingly supportive, no back fat, ultra soft and comfy. My absolute favorite.
Donna Karen Intimates Light Control Soft Cup Sports Bra - Super comfy, keeps you dry and cool AND it eventually conforms to your body! Bonus!
5. Panties: I like a myriad of different panties in my rep - boy shorts, thongs, stretchy lace, seamless, and of course, SPANX. Each woman is different when it comes to what types of panties she likes. Here are a few of my all time favorites:
Victoria's Secret The Lacie Hiphuggers - Amazing fit, comes in a million different colors and patterns. I have 30 pairs. Not kidding.
Hanky Panky Original Lace Sheer Thong - Gorgeous, soft, flattering, and makes your ass look amazing. Your man friends will love this too I promise.
Calvin Klein: Metallic Chrome Waistband Microfiber Bikini Panty - What I consider my "granny panties" super soft and great to sleep in or wear to work out.
6. Shapewear: SPANX is the gold standard as far as I am concerned but here are a few others that are pretty darn good too:
Flexees Strapless Slip - Holds everything in. smoothes everything out AND it looks good on it's own (for after the party wink wink)
Victoria's Secret Confident and Curvy High Waist Mini - Super chic, amazingly comfortable and doesn't look like shapwear (Bonus!)
Assets - Very similar to SPANX but almost half the price. Great quality - you can buy it at Target or online!
LAUNDRY
When you are a gypsy living in hotel rooms, sometimes laundry services are scarce. In a pinch I have used the hotel laundry service but I don't recommend this as it is usually ridiculously expensive. The first things I run out of are my under things. With a little laundry soap and your trusty hotel bathtub or sink, you can have fresh undergarments in no time!
So there you have it - a guide to all things intimate! Enjoy!
