Holi-dazzling Gift Guide is Here!

Posted on November 13, 2012 by hourglass

 

The holiday season is here and it’s time to make your list and check it twice. But don’t fret our Holi-dazzling Gift Guide is Here! So without delay let’s take a look at some of the highlights!

If you’re one of the many gentlemen, who have joined us in your search for something lovely for the lady in your life, or perhaps something perfect for mom, the For Her section of the store is a great place to start.

Looking for a sexy Stocking Stuffer? Look no further than the Stocking with Lace Garter by Calvin Klein. This piece has the added advantage of a built in garter, so she can create this flirty look without the need for an additional garter.

New moms will marvel on Christmas morning when they receive the Mommy Care Pack by Mambino. This everything-you-need kit has her covered from head to toe with all the delicious smelling and effective organics she needs when the bundle of joy has just arrived or when the stork is still en route.

It seems every year that there are more and more people to buy for. If you’re like most of us, you’re giving this season on a budget. That’s why the Under $30 section of our store was created. And here are a couple of our favorites from this category.

With winter on the way, boots become the go to for girls in low temperatures who love high fashion. And once she’s experienced the convenience of Boot Straps, she’ll never “weather” this season again without them.

And of course, a cool price doesn’t mean you can’t give her a hot gift. The Lace and Mesh Merry Widow is one piece of lingerie you’ll both fall in love with. With its flirty floral lace and criss cross front, this is a gift for lovers… we cross our hearts.

Perhaps you want a sure thing this holiday season. We’ve compiled our Top Rated gifts section from the best reviewed products. There’s a lot to choose from here with the feedback you trust.

One of the most exciting and best reviewed lines at Hourglass Angel is AMIA. Some real standouts from this line can be found here. One of our favorite pieces from AMIA is the Diva Corselette. This lingerie look shaper makes a great gift, combining pretty ribbon detailing and lace boyshort with powerful shaping. And for fans of a cincher style garment, you’ve got to see the Almighty Cincher from this line.

And what holiday guide would be complete without a Stocking Stuffers section. One of our most popular lines is Burt’s Bees so it’s no surprise that a couple of the delights from this brand found there way here. Ladies love the beautiful balms from this line. So perhaps you should pick the Honey Lip Balm from Burt’s for her this year or the Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil! And last but not least is the Never Say Cutie Thong from Cosabella. This hand cut lace delight hails from Italy and makes a super sexy addition to any stocking!

Seriously…EVERYBODY has it: Truth and Tips for Cellulite

Posted on October 30, 2012 by hourglass

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking through the pages of magazines, you might find yourself momentarily convinced that cellulite is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to women’s bodies. But don’t be fooled. The first thing to know about cellulite is that from large to small, women of every size and shape live with the little lumps and bumps of cellulite. That’s right. Everyone from the voluptuous Kim Kardashian to the athletic Hillary Swank has what you have in one form or another. It’s a biological fact. The second thing to realize about cellulite is that there is no “cure.”

But neither of the above facts mean that you have to live with cellulite the way that it is. There are many things you can do to address the visible appearance of this natural and near universal phenomenon. As cellulite is one of the most common complaints of our clientele, we offer many ways to address unevenness in the skin caused by this normally occurring process.

One of our favorite companies is Mambino Organics, so when they introduced a cellulite treatment to their already awesome line of all natural, organic botanical solutions, we decided to try it without a second thought. And boy were we right to try it. The combination of their Cellulite Body Massager and their Cellufit BodyContour Oil was the one-two punch we were looking for. Use the serum and massage vigorously to reduce the look of dimpling.

But cosmetic solutions are only the beginning when it comes to this shaping science. We are incredibly excited by the results we’re seeing with anti-cellulite garments. Lytess was a real innovator in this field and their active ingredient micro-encapsulated Corrective High-Waist Push-Up Shaper and their Slimming Leggings remain two of the most effective tools in the war on cellulite. Active ingredients like caffeine and shea butter have been shown to treat the look of lumps and bumps. Simply wear the garments and the combination compression, micro-massage and the active ingredients in the fabric do the work.

And if you like Lytess, you’ll love the Thigh Slimmer Kit by Skineez. This complete treatment includes an infused garment that treats the look of cellulite (while helping you to lose inches in the thigh area) as well as a re-charger spray so that your garment will always be its most potent.

While there is no cure for cellulite, we are pleased and hopeful about the breakthroughs in cellulite reduction and adding more tools of the trade as they are innovated.

Allow Us To Make An Introduction…

Posted on October 16, 2012 by hourglass
We’d like to make an introduction. We’ve just added one of the most exciting lines we’ve ever worked with to the Hourglass Angel collection. AMIA Shapewear uses the finest materials, designs and construction to create essential body shaping garments that every woman should have in her collection, while the purchase price benefits the community of women AMIA serves.

But because their mission is to help women look, feel and be the best that they can be, they didn’t stop at making world class body shapers. Their motto is “AMIA: Where Great Women Begin” and they take it very seriously. Service is at the core of who AMIA is as a company Understanding it takes a community to create great women, they partnered with the Women’s Alliance, donating one dollar from every sale to help provide professional attire, job training and mentoring to underprivileged women. Assisting these women and their families can be the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, not just for them, but for their children and whole communities. Having said that, allow us to make an introduction…

First up, the Supremes: the Supreme Panty Shaper and Supreme Thong Shaper. These convertible, underbust pieces are a great place to start if you want a fundamental piece that comfortably shapes without show through under almost any item of clothing. Maintaining a balance of comfort and control, these are wearable, effective, everyday garments that create a smooth, slimmed silhouette allowing you to feel cool and confident.

Next, we have the Almighty line. The Almighty Vest and the Almighty Cincher dramatically and immediately reduce your midsection, creating a slender hourglass waist and improving posture for an overall more attractive shape. But that’s just the beginning. Users wearing the Almighty line for extended periods report sustained reshaping and loss of 1-2 inches.

And last, but certainly not least we have the Diva, their lingerie look body shaper. The Diva Corselette lace boyshort bottom bodysuit is the kind of sexy shapewear you can’t wait to show off. With it’s feminine detailing and ribbon accents, this is a piece in which pretty meets powerful.

We are proud to carry this line and of the service to our community that working with AMIA allows us to be a part of. We look forward to sharing their vision with all of you as we introduce AMIA Shapewear to the Hourglass Angel. Join us!

Ghouls Just Want to Have Fun: Our Halloween Guide to Going Out in Style

Posted on September 28, 2012 by hourglass

Ghouls Just Want to Have Fun: Our Halloween Guide to Going Out in Style

With Halloween on the horizon, the spectre of creating a sexy costume may have you spooked. We all love to amp up the oomph, perhaps raising the hemlines and allowing those plunging necklines to fall. Many women choose to incorporate an underwear as outerwear approach into their Halloween ensemble. Finding the right balance of over-the-top and under wraps is key. That’s why we’ve selected some of the essential pieces you’ll need to put together a positively perfect look that’s classy, curve-enhancing and appropriate for the season’s flirty affairs.


If you’re wearing something daring like a short skirt, or even perhaps a petticoat, a pair of thigh highs are an absolute must. We love the Lace Top Sheer Thigh Highs from seduction experts, Rene Rofe. They’ll give just enough coverage, while slimming and evening the tone of the legs. The work wonderfully with a garter belt.

 

 

Next up, for an 80’s effect or any other lingerie-inspired look, a bustier is almost certainly going to be the beginning of your costume. Fans of a Madonna-esque style may be inspired by the Satin and Lace Torsolette by Dominique. And if you’re looking for a basic, goes-with-anything-bustier you absolutely must check out the Strapless Convertible Bustier Bra by QT. This smoothing piece could be the start of so many sexy looks!

 

A corset is a Halloween helper you’ll want to incorporate for all-year use. Investing in a genuine corset when it’s time to play dress-up is a wonderful way to introduce this heirloom quality garment into your closet. Many off-the-rack costumes feature some version of a “corset,” but don’t offer the slimming, shaping and support of the real thing. Spend the extra money for a tight-lacing corset with a busk and steel stays to create a silhouette you’ll want to show off whether it’s Halloween or not. Two of our favorites (and our most versatile beginnings for a costume) are the Red and Black Silk Underbust Corset and the Purple and Black Silk Underbust Corset. Whether you’re going to the ball as the Queen of Hearts or a sexy Disney villain, these are the place to start.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if you’re looking for a complete costume, for going out or staying in, we carry a wide selection. The My Angel Baby Costume is a heavenly set that promises to raise your spirits high. The Highway Patrol Officer Dusty Roads Costume shows off your dangerous curves and sets engines revving. And of course, the Officer Flashy Costume is sexy enough that he’ll beg to be taken into custody.

Fall in Love With the Best Looks of the Season

Posted on August 31, 2012 by hourglass

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s almost time to blow a kiss over those cool autumn winds to summer’s warm weather styles. With hot weather on the wane we wanted to show you some of the the coolest fashions for fall. Take a tour through some of our favorite shaping apparel, accessories and body shapers that are fit for the season!

One of fall’s forever essentials is the chic and sleek legging! So why not wrap your shaping into this super accessory? High Waisted Legging by Lyssé 1208 has a wide and very effective shaping band built right into the waist. The legs of the garment shape you, but don’t look any different from a standard high waist legging. Wear them under a sweater dress or on the go with a hoodie when the thermometer drops. They’re your expressway to lovely legs.

Another of autumn’s must have accessories is a perfect pair of tights. One of the coolest ways to stay warm is the Berkshire Cozy Hose Tights – 4755. These fleece lined tights are completely opaque, with no skin showing through at all. Your legs will look and feel amazing in these chilly weather standouts.

And you love those, just wait till you try the Footless Get Fit Tight by ShaToBu 12709A. This product is unique because inside this ordinary looking hosiery, resistance bands give your legs an extra workout, increasing your caloric burn as you go about your regular activity.

And of course, who couldn’t make it through the season without the perfect pair of jeans. For fall, dark washes are in and one of our favorites has a bonus for your booty built right in. The Butt Enhancing Starlight Jeans by Verox 1045 are a south of the border sensation that raises and rounds your rear without additional padding. They must be tried to be believed.

And last but not least, a great shaper is the foundation of a flawless figure. In cooler weather you can easily extend your coverage without heating up too much. One of the best shapers for fall is the Corset Styled Body Shaper by Vedette #342. Extending all the way to the knee, this pretty body suit shapes your midsection and smoothes out cellulite and that’s a look we love no matter what the season!

The Summer Wedding Wind Down!

Posted on August 20, 2012 by hourglass

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all know that summer is the season of love and from the first blossoms of May to the indian summers of August, weddings abound. And of course the ultimate symbol, the crescendo of the big day comes when “the dress” is revealed. But choosing the perfect gown is only half the battle. The beginning of a flawless frock is the foundational garment you wear underneath it. And that’s just what we’re here to explore. We’ve chosen the essential garments to get you ready for the first day of the rest of your life and help your wedding gown look its very best.

One of the most common garments requested by brides to-be is a bustier. A bustier is one of the classic shaping and support garments. With its boning and structure, this is an ideal garment for all kinds of formal-wear, as it easily accommodates strapless designs. One of our favorites is the Strapless Convertible Bustier Bra by QT (1100). With its smoothing featherweight foam, seamless design and underwire cups, you can create a great shape under most gowns.

If you’re looking for all torso and thigh control with a few additional “perks” the High Waist Mid Thigh Shaper by ShaToBu (12706A) is a perfect option. This is a lightweight shaper that packs a lot of punch. But a slimmed midsection, hips and thighs is only part of why we love this shaper. Resistance technology is built right into the garment, helping you burn more calories with your regular movements, making this a favorite for wedding days and every other day.

If you’re looking for powerful curve creation that revamps the rear, we have a seamless shaper that will hide under your dress, while you show off your gorgeous silhouette. The Alexandra by Vedetteslims the waist, hips and thighs, while lifting and rounding the rear with its unique open bottom lifting design. Plus you can remove the straps altogether for a foundation fit for all things formal.

And last but not least, we love the bust lifting look of the Lavonne Bustless Slip by Yummie Tummie YT4-012. This moderate control shaping slip is the perfect accompaniment to a wide range of looks and gives breathable control for your curves so you can dance the night away in comfort.

Out On the Town: The Shaping Apparel Revolution

Posted on August 7, 2012 by hourglass

 

 

 

 

 

At Hourglass Angel, we often talk about wearing shapewear as outerwear. We love creating a sexy silhouette and showing it off with a bustier top or letting a bit of a longline bra peek out from a shirt. But sometimes shapewear is outerwear! We call these kinds of garments “shaping apparel” and they’re one of the coolest ways to create curves without wearing an additional shaper. They’re also quickly becoming one of the most popular kinds of garments we work with. So let’s take a look at a few of the highlights from our shaping apparel selection to find out what the buzz is about.

The brand that really kicked off the shaping apparel movement was Yummie Tummie. This brand exploded in popularity when they introduced their original, classic Yummie Tummie Tank. Looking like a layering tank, but working like a body shaper, women loved the ease of this garment. The Yummie Tummie technology has been expanded to encompass a whole line of shaping garments.

It might be said that hosiery is one of the originators of shaping apparel. Women have long loved the lean look a great pair of hose gives their legs. And of course, you may have guessed that a brand like Calvin Klein Hosiery makes some of the finest garments of this kinds. We love the Matte Sheer Total Shaper Pantyhose by Calvin Klein 544N for the way it gives great shaping under dresses and skirts.

One of the real breakthroughs in shaping apparel has come along with a style of garment that shapes with ruching rather than compression. These are garments that create a lovely silhouette visually, flattering your figure. The Essential Womens 3/4 Sleeve Slimming Shirt by Slimmerz by Terri Gillespie® is a great garment that works in this way. This versatile piece is perfect for the office and travels beautifully with its no wrinkle fabric.

And lastly, “bringing up the rear,” as it were, we have the South American sensation, Verox Jeans. Denims like their Heartstrings Butt Enhancing Jeans by Verox 7047 have the rear rounding built right in without the use of additional padding. The secret is in the seams, which are shaped to create lift so your behind always looks its best.
