Quotable Lingerista: Sharon Stone

 “I dont believe makeup and the right hairstyle alone can make a woman beautiful. The most radiant woman in the room is the one full of life and experience.” -Sharon Stone

The Quotable Lingerista: Mae West ~ Part 2

Self-described as a woman of "few words" and more "action," Mae West one can't help but think of her self-confidence on the silver screen and her double entendres. Mae West was definitely a Lingerista before her time. If she wore small bras, like a lot of our other Lingeristas, I can only imagine the witty remarks she would have said!

“When I’m good, I’m very good. When I’m bad, I’m better.” ~Mae West

"A man's kiss is his signature." ~ Mae West

"Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly." ~ Mae West

Here's to you, Miss Mae, and your humorous pearls of wisdom.

The Quotable Lingerista: Finding Beauty in the World

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simplicity. Confidence. Beauty from Within.

While Emerson is certainly not a Lingerista, his quote on life certainly can be applied to lingerie! I agree with Emerson that the first place to find beauty is within. It's also why interviews are shocked to hear me say that confidence is more attractive than anything a woman can buy, including lingerie. I know that I sell lingerie, but lets be honest. Self-confidence is the greatest aphrodesiac that a woman can poses. If lingerie helps give her the extra added assuredness needed, then more power to her. But beauty must come from within.

Full of comfort, romance and simplicity, the Fleur't Lulu bralette (in coral leopard print and blue ,each $35) with matching boyshorts ($35) brings out the best of a classic bralette and boyshorts.

Find out why Lingeristas are Fleur't converts from the first purchase! Once you put on a piece of Fleur't lingerie, you won't want to take it off.

The Quotable Lingerista: Audrey Hepburn ~ Style Icon Extraordinaire

Audrey Hepburn, one of my favorite fashion icons who exudes class and elegance has a few things to say about life, love and living:


"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people." ~ Audrey Hepburn

“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.” ~ Audrey Hepburn



“My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large sunglasses, and the little sleeveless dresses.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


“If I get married, I want to be very married.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


“I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.” ~ Audrey Hepburn



“Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.” ~ Audrey Hepburn


[about her "comeback" in 1976] "Whatever happens, the most important thing is growing old gracefully. And you can`t do that on the cover of a fan magazine." ~ Audrey Hepburn


"My own life has been much more than a fairy tale. I`ve had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties I`ve gone through, I`ve always gotten a prize at the end." ~ Audrey Hepburn


"For me, the only things of interest are those linked to the heart." ~ Audrey Hepburn


"I know I have more sex appeal on the tip of my nose than many women in their entire bodies. It doesn`t stand out a mile, but it`s there." ~ Audrey Hepburn


"I never thought I`d land in pictures with a face like mine." ~ Audrey Hepburn

The Quotable Lingerista ~ Coco Chanel

If I were to live by one person's views, based upon the Coco Chanel's quotes below, I may just want to slip into her life to see the world the way that she saw it.

Below are what make Coco Chanel not only a modern day fashionist, but also a Lingerista. Here are her "Cocoisms:"

• “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone "
• "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous”
• The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!”
• Fashion fades, only style remains the same"
• “Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it’s not luxury”
• "I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin" (quote thanks to Faire Frou Frou)
  

Coco Chanel, born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, is an icon in the fashion world. From humble beginnings and tempting a career as a singer, she would face many struggles before becoming one of the most inspirational fashion designers of all time. By the age of 21, she had opened her own boutique in Paris and the rest is history. Coco designs and views are still relevant today, inspiring furture generations of fashionistas and lingeristas!Thanks to Decolish Decolish for the caricature image (above).

The Quotable Lingerista ~ Gilda Radner

I base most of my fashion sense on what doesn't itch. ~Gilda Radner

Long known for her comedy sketches, Gilda entertained audiences for years on Saturday Night Live (SNL). A small busted woman by nature, Gilda was big on personality, character and presence. Not one to shy away from the camera, Gilda and Emily Lau (of The Little Bra Company) remind me that "Big things do come in small packages."

(Undrest's Amalie ultra lush and soft micro modal bra and panty set {similar to silk set above} is soft, feminine and pretty with enough sensibility for the likes of our Quotable Lingerista, Gilda Radner.)

The Amalie bralette is perfect for small busts and can be worn as pajamas or under tops for a sexy, peek-a-boo look. The matching Amalie Brazilian cut panties accentuate the leg, giving a long, leaner look and highlights the derriere. This lovely lingerie set is perfect for brides, weddings, bridal gifts or a treat for yourself.

The luscious Amalie bra ($55) and panty set ($48) are at Eve's Apples Lingerie Boutique where there is always a FREE GIFT with every purchase and FREE SHIPPING over $100.

Whatever your reason for purchasing, the soft, supple material will have you loving every minute you're wearing it. All the more reason to Celebrate Your Inner Eve.

The Quotable (Anti)Lingerista: Janis Joplin

Known for her gravely voice and moving music, Janis Joplin was the Queen of Cool and Headmistress of Hippies. Her free loving attitude definitely put her in the category of "Celebrating Her Inner Eve" even if she liked to go braless. Even us itty bitty gals need a lacy bralette for support. Back in Janis' day, going braless was as much of a statement about living free against the establishment's predefined rules as it was celebrating being a woman.

Janis is someone who defined her generation, inspired us with song and still moves us, despite her early demise. In celebration of Janis' birthday yesterday (January 19), we're celebrating her free spirit.

“Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.” ~ Janis Joplin

I'd like to add that, "What you've got is enough," regardless of what society says or what is on the magazine covers.

The Quotable Lingerista: Dita von Tesse

Dita von Tesse, one of Eve's favorite lingerie icons, is not only an entertainer but also a designer and business woman. To find out more about this fascinating woman and her thoughts, read a few of her quotes below.

"Please, oh please, let me never become the woman in the room that hates the younger women in the room."

"I'm always on time when it matters....!"

“People always think I just hang around in jeans or a tracksuit, and I’m like, Well, no. I’m sitting here right now, having just rolled out of bed, wearing a vintage slip. I don’t have any makeup on, my hair is probably a disaster, but that doesn’t mean I’ll put on jeans and a T-shirt because no one’s looking. I mean, I don’t put on a full face of makeup, heels and a little black dress every time I walk out the door—I’m not an alien from another planet who doesn’t like to be comfortable—it’s just that, for me, the natural version of me, is only for people who are close to me. I don’t know why everyone wants me to wear jeans so badly.”

(The above quote from Fashionindie in Fashion Quotable: Dita von Tesse)

The Quotable Lingerista: Kate Moss

Kate Moss, Eve's Apples Quotable Lingerista for October says women should always dress for their body shape: "If you have great legs, show them off with a short dress and heels or skinny jeans...If you've got a large bust, avoid high necklines. I don't think of things as outfits, I throw together what I feel is right for the night...I follow my feelings and just get dressed. I go with a feeling or emotion and don't necessarily plan, unless perhaps, it's a special occasion."

That is great advice from Kate! Always wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, sexy and confident, that is what Celebrating Your Inner Eve is all about!
