STYLE SPOTLIGHT: Want Sexy Shapewear To Channel Your Inner Betty Boop?

Thanks to Sassybax Founder & CEO Amanda Horan Kennedy for giving us girls something that will support us and make us feel like the little tigresses that we are. Launched in 2004, Kennedy introduced Sassybax to help women (like herself) with real bodies look slimmer, eliminate bra bulge and above all feel confident in their clothes! The Sassybax brand consists of the seamless Classic Collection, wardrobe-saving Accessories and the new, lingerie-inspired Pretty Collection. Classic pieces are sized S-2X (exact range varies by style) and Pretty pieces S-XL. Retailing from $18.00 - $118.00 in luxury retailers, boutiques and e-retailers throughout the U.S., including Sassybax.com.

Inner Betty Boop is an understatement. I have not been able to find shapewear that it as pretty and as sexy as this collection from Sassybax. You know that most shapewear resembles something very similar to what your grandmother wears. Not cute. Not sexy. I want to be able to throw my clothes off in an instant if the 'ol BF is looking particularly hot that night (or any night). With Sassybax, I am ready to roll. LOL

FASHION LUST: The Beauty That Lies Underneath

I love Affinitas. I actually own a few of their pieces and I can attest to how beautiful their lingerie is in person. I especially love these two new lingerie sets from them. Green lingerie? Gotta love it. Available at Her Room or Affinitas Intimates.

Fashion Lust: What Lies Underneath

I love the name of this lingerie line, VPL - Visible Panty Line. So clever. I love this bra and set of panties from their line. So different from any other lingerie on the market. Get these pieces at Barney's.

Fashion Lust: What Lies Underneath, Princesse tam.tam

There is something so incredibly special about lingerie. Princesse tam.tam is one of my favorite shops because the French totally know lingerie inside and out.

What I Want Now: My Obsession with Boyshorts

I bow down to the imaginative person who created the boyshort. I adore my boyshorts. I especially love a boyshort with lace. This pair by the queen of lingerie, La Perla, is so beautiful, so sexy. Available at Net-a-Porter.

Totally lovin' the Vintage Glam lingerie set (bustier and boy shorts sold separately) at Bebe.

Designer Spotlight: Undressing with Jean Yu Lingerie

Korean-American Jean Yu knew what she wanted to do for a living. She took to fashion design with a quickness. She created her first line of jeans at age 22.

Her intention is to design something that will arouse your sensuality. While she is renown for her dresses (RTW and bridal), her lingerie lines speaks to me. I adore lingerie. There is a special feeling you have as a woman when you wear beautiful lingerie under your power suit. You feel a little naughty.

So I totally love this line of lingerie. I was startled by the models in these pictures. It would have been a little more convincing if she would have taken the Victoria's Secret approach to lingerie models, but each piece of lingerie bearing her name is simply breathtaking. I could not decide on a favorite. See here entire clothing and lingerie collection on her web site.

What I Want Now: Free People

Free People has created the sexiest little sequin slip. It has a low scoop back line and ribbon adjustable straps. Sexy. Sexy.

Etsy Fashion Find: Loose BonBons Lingerie by Des Neiges

I'm lovin' the sexy ruffles and the aqua/chocolate combination. Get it at Des Neiges.

Etsy Fashion Find: Sandmaiden

You know that I love lingerie. So I definitely fell in love with these beautiful pieces at Sandmaiden. So sexy and dainty - exactly how lingerie should be. I also love the color choices. Get yours here.

What I Want Now: Myla of London
