Beat the heat and shop this weekend’s awesome sales around the Valley.

In honor of the tragic death of Michael Jackson, I think we should all wear a white sequined glove today.

An Icon of Music and Fashion

Hopefully you still have yours from the 80′s.  Sadly, I don’t have mine any more. But I do remember my mom buying me the Michael Jackson white glove / microphone set when I was around 5 years old at the grocery store! I would put on that glove, turn on the cheap microphone that sadly distorted my version of “Billy Jean” (which I was singing the wrong words to anyway!), jump on the ledge of our fireplace and sing my little heart out. Those were the days…

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

We both LOVE MySkins – the lingerie in 20 skin-matching colors!!

If you haven’t heard of, lest tried the molded, seamless bras and panties in 20 skin matching tones from local company, MySkins, you don’t know what your outfit is missing!

MySkins seamless bras and panties serve as an almost invisible “foundation” beneath a woman’s clothing so people can see your dress, slacks or blouse… not your underwear.We’ve all seen or been a victim of embarrassing panty lines, lumpy bras and underwear, distracting bra straps, etc. Now, MySkins offers lingerie that can transform your body, match your skin and allow you tofinally stop worrying about what is being seen and be seen yourself.

In a word, my recent visit to MySkins was…transformational. The technology of the molded bra, the almost magical color matching system, the seamlessness and the COMFORT of these products has transformed my previous lingerie loathing into lingerie love.

Fashion Phoenix’s tips on MySkins…

1. The color should match the undertone of your skin – the pink, yellow, brown. When in doubt, pick the darkest shade. I was surprised that the darkest color I tried was the best for me and magically disappeared under my white shirt. I’m a Toffee!

2. Your MySkins bra is molded, not sewn, and needs a little more TLC! Rather than fabrics sewn together, MySkins are molded with fabric adhered on top of a form. This creates the seamless effect and comfortable wear.  To preserve the integrity of the molded form, it’s best to hand wash or wash in a bra bag. Wash in cool water as heat will destroy the adhesive and elastic (goes for most bras). Hook it before you wash and for storage to prevent snags and stretching. Lay flat to dry. Follow these tips and it should last up to 50 washes.

3. MySkins is currently only available online. Shipping is free on orders of $25. And they are happy to refund or exchange if you’re not satisfied. To ship the bra back, it will cost you around $2. And panties are NON-RETURNABLE, for obvious health reasons!

4. Tips for finding the perfect fit...The convertible bra fits more snug, so you may want to go up one size. The panties do not stretch as much as traditional underwear and size is based on your hip size. You probably want to try a size larger for the most comfortable fit.

5. Fashion Phoenix’s favorites… The T-Shirt bra is the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn!! And the scalloped edging of the fabric gives it some style. My favorite panty style is the thong. It was completely seamless under my favorite fitted skirt and comfortable to wear.
