Vancouver 2010 Olympic Fashion Trends

The excitement of the Olympic games has consumed Vancouver. The great excitement and fun of a world class, international event in our town has brought a community together as we welcome the world and show off our home.

The natural beauty of the landscape is a wonderful compliment to the Canadian hospitality. I have been pleasantly surprised by the event and inspired by the enthusiasm from many nations.

I know that fashionistas around the world have their eyes on the runways of New York Fashion Week and the newest high fashion offerings for 2010.

Here in Canada, RED is the prominent fashion color on the streets of the Olympic games. Gorgeous Olympic fans are recreating the latest fashion trends in red and look fantastic doing so. The ultimate in Olympic fashion is a bright red pair of mittens boldly showing a white maple leaf on the palm. Who could forecast the popularity of a little pair of mittens? An old school item previously reserved for children has now become the Olympics’ favorite souvenirs. Even Oprah has joined the red mitten craze.

Fashion retailers are joining in the fun with creative visions of fashion and sport. A combination not often displayed like a hockey stick emblazoned in rhinestones and hot pink skates matched with designer fashions. Holt Renfrew glams up Canada’s favorite game.

The Hudson’s Bay Department store is the official souvenir dealer. I love their group of display mannequins intently watching the games. Heads not required.

Sports fans, fashionistas, and mannequins are all soaking up the Olympic spirit.

Olympic Spirit - Plus Size Sports Bras

The eyes of the world are focused on the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games. I am not a huge sports fan however I can’t help feeling the international enthusiasm for the best of the best.

While I am immersed in sports, I think it is a good time to look at plus size sports bras. A sports bra is a must for walking as well as working out or impact sports. If you are catching Olympic fever and are ready to get active, the bra you choose is important for you.

Unfortunately there are not a great variety of sports bras in larger sizes. The sports bra is a softer, unstructured bra made of a moisture wicking fabric. Some women prefer this style for every day as well as exercising.

These bras can almost look like a summer top. They have no wires in them for comfort when moving. The back is usually a racer back or close set straps in the back to give freedom to the shoulder blades during movement. The high tech fabrics make these styles so comfortable and soft against the skin with the moisture wicking ability as a great asset.

Sports bras have attention given to comfort during movement so that nothing will bind up or rub and create sore spots on the skin. Most hooks are padded and the trims are covered in a soft microfiber. No lace or pretty bits. These bras have a job to do …..

The Tatiana Plus Size Sports bra is available up to size 3XL and the Goddess Plus Size Sports bra size range is up to 48G. These are both excellent choices depending on your size and activity style.

Enjoy the games .. Go team go!

Shay Laren is an American model and was the "Penthouse.....

Shay Laren (born 31 December, 1985, in Georgia, U.S.) is an American model and was the "Penthouse" Pet of the Month for June 2006. Laren is the eldest of four children. Her mother became pregnant with her in high school, and her father was shipped off in the military. Laren has said that he knows that she exists but he apparently doesn't care and has never come around to see her. She was an army brat, growing up in a number of military bases across the world.

How did Valentine's Day Begin?

Valentine’s Day is like many other holidays we have grown up with and love. It is a tradition we all know about but have no idea where it came from or how it started. The stories of it’s beginning vary and the facts have become blurred over the years. Although we know the Valentine’s Day card tradition is attributed to the Victorian era the origin of this tradition dates much further back.


In Roman times there was a Roman Catholic priest named Valentine. He lived during the rule of Claudius II who passed a law stating that no man may marry. Emperor Claudius II felt single men made far superior soldiers and would do anything to build the strongest army.

Father Valentine was a romantic and believed in the power of love and the sanctity of marriage. He began performing marriage ceremonies in secret. Before long he was arrested, thrown in jail and sentenced to death by beheading.

During his incarceration the jail keeper’s daughter visited him often. Just before his execution day, on February 14, he wrote a farewell letter to her and signed it “from Your Valentine” . Rumor of this letter spread and became the symbol of selfless, romantic love. This is thought to now be the first Valentine Card sent. He was put to death on the day that has become our celebration as Valentine’s Day, February 14th. Father Valentine was decreed “Patron Saint of Lovers.”

How strange it is that this lovely, warm and fuzzy, romantic holiday sprang from such a gruesome act. On February 14th, when you crack open the champagne why not give a little toast to Father Valentine. I think we all share his secret passion for true love.

I Love You Wall in Paris

Paris remains the most romantic city in the world. Paris is such a ruler of this genre that it presents many monuments to love with the majority of them being ancient and awe inspiring.

In Montrmatre, the home of the artists, stands a modern display of love. A wonderful project created by Frédéric Baron who has recorded “I Love You” 1000 times written in 300 langauges and dialects. The script is displayed on a wall in a beautiful park setting. This is fast becoming a meeting spot for lovers

“One does not play with love. It is a serious affair.” by Frédéric Baron.

Baron began his project in 1992 by wandering the streets of Paris and asking people to write these words in their mother tongue. Baron feels he has toured the world without ever leaving Paris.

LE MUR DES JE T'AIME is a wall finished in lava enamelled tiles. Each tile holds it’s own message of love. You will see chips of color spread through the face. This is to symbolize fragments of broken hearts. 612 tiles each in the shape and size of Baron’s original note books present the 1000 I Love Yous.

If you visit Paris you will find the wall in Paris, Buttes Montmartre, Place des Abbesses, in the Square Jehan Rictus. Take the Metro to Abbesses. The admission is free and a great spot for photos.

To learn how to say I Love You in any of the posted languages, or learn more about this project, visit the official site at http://www.lesjetaime.com/english/donner.html

Lingerie to Spice up your Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and this set gets my vote for "spice"!

This seductive bra and panty set for full figured women is so feminine. It is highlighted with a delicate sheer lace and embroidered pattern. The detail of the lace is a flat finish so it will not shadow through thin fabrics.

Ultra shinny satin off sets the peek a boo lace for tone on tone details.

To match this bra is a high waisted thong. It still offers good coverage for a skimpy panty and it is comfortable to wear.  The thong, like the bra, shows off the gorgeous lace.

If you have never tried a thong ..... maybe now is the time.

The Jenna bra and thong by Tatiana Fashions are made in Europe of microfiber and nylon. Two wonderfully comfortable fabrics to wear. A wider shoulder strap offers comfort and the underwire contours the body. High quality materials make this an easy care, long lasting item and a great value.

The size range in this set is 34D through 44F. It is available in white as well as black but white just doesn't seem to cut it for Valentine's Day.  The lines of this bra create a chic vintage shaping that hints of old hollywood glam.

Just add champagne.
