I know my compadres in the United States are going to give me side eye when I tell you in this post that it’s quite cool here in Los Cabos, especially at night, I know it’s freezing in the Northeast, but for me, this is a new experience in Mexico. Even though I have had a home here since 2012, I have never been here in January or February. I am usually at trade shows and in the New York market.… ...Read more

I first noticed the Moons and Junes collection in Paris last year at the Salon International de la Lingerie. It was part of the anthology of Indie brands curated for its unique design attitude. Its Danish heritage spoke for itself, clean, comfy and unapologetically natural. I spent some time recently chatting with the brand’s founder, Agnete Bjerre-Madsen, the 26 year old entrepreneur who launched Moons and Junes in 2017. Agnete is part of the cadre of young women who were fed up with the push up bra mentality and wanted underwear that conformed to her own body shape.… ...Read more

A new year always represents a fresh start, but none more so than 2021. 2020 has been such a struggle for us all that everyone seems thrilled to have a chance to start again soon! Traditionally people start a new exercise routine in January but some of us have been keeping ourselves sane with exercise this entire year. I’m one of them, which has given me lots of opportunities to explore the curvy sports bra market and really test what is out there.… ...Read more

Giving is the new taking. Each day that passes brings stories of people and companies helping those in need. I do not know what it’s like to lose someone to this pandemic nor do I know someone who has lost their home, so I am reminded each day just how fortunate I am. It’s safe to say many of us who have weathered this madness relatively unscathed, are grateful, very grateful. My hope is that most of us have found our own ways to give back, however small the gesture or the pledge.… ...Read more
