Shape Your Destiny

IMG00480-20100502-1659I had never seen the Grand Canyon except from the window of an airplane 30, 000 feet in the air.  The majesty of this view was so extraordinary that I could only imagine what standing right on the rim would offer.  It was a major objective to our Southwest quest.  Traveling there was a challenge as we confronted an early spring snowstorm for which we were quite unprepared.  Naive New Yorkers that we are, we assumed that Arizona meant warm.  After a quick stop in Flagstaff to fortify my wardrobe we were determined to get there, despite warnings of fog, wind and cold.   We were not disappointed.  The weather only amplified the immensity of this sight.  Both sun and clouds parlayed for position in this 20 mile wide gorge, but there was enough room for both as the view evolved in the changing light.  Panoramic rock walls, painted with 1000 shades of red desert colors descended a mile down to an almost invisible Colorado River weaving its way through the canyon floor.  It was hard to believe that this small thread of water, actually 300 feet wide and 30 feet deep at its base, was responsible for forging this epic landscape.

Just as this relatively small river has carved out this canyon, the petite woman is carving out an impressive niche in the lingerie industry.  I am particularly enamored with The Little Bra Company,  the brand that its founder, Emily Lau, has created in this emerging market.  This collection of bras and panties is designed for smaller proportioned woman and specifically constructed to enhance their petite frames.  The best-selling deep plunge Lucia bra (E004) provides a little push, a lacey intimacy and a perfect contour fit.  Available in sizes 28 – 36 A and B cups, this ultra feminine lingerie is the perfect fix for the diminutive  woman.   Size is a matter of perspective.

    Thank you Ellen, We have a lot of the things you write about in our store. If you are petite you may have already tried Princesse Tam Tam, Wacoal and my favorite, Ines by Marie Jo – a fabulous convertible t-shirt bra!
