Fashion Spotlight: Luxury Hosiery Brand “VienneMilano”

Every since I was a young girl, my mom said “Young ladies should wear tights”. When I started my career my mom said “Young woman should wear stockings”. It wasn’t until I became my own women, that thigh highs were important for my everyday and special occasion hosiery wear. Yes, ladies we are talking about thigh highs! You know that brand of hosiery that get less attention only when worn with a garter belt. VienneMilano has solved that issue!

Many women won’t wear thigh highs because of the stigma of having your hosiery down at your ankles at the end of the day. The agony of pulling up your thigh highs every five seconds just to keep them on can scare you. Or the misconception that thigh highs can only be worn with a garter belt. STOP right there and let me reprogram your cognitive thinking. VienneMilano thigh highs (Made in Italy) stay on your thighs! The quality of the built-in adhesive, that won’t irritate your skin,  ensures a custom fit for your thighs, that you won’t even notice. They can be worn with or without a garter belt. LADIES you can’t go wrong with VienneMilano thigh highs!

I know what you are saying, “she’s paid to say that”, “she never wore them”. INCORRECT! I have and will continue. I love full support hosiery but thighs highs are the new dressing for my sexy legs. When I’m wearing lingerie, I am wearing thigh highs from VienneMilano. When I’m at work, I am wearing thigh highs from VienneMilano. When I’m dressing up my favorite pair of jeans with high heel stilettos, I’m wearing VienneMilano. There is nothing like a great pair of hosiery that feel silky and smooth against my legs, and they stay on my thighs without assistance. This is why I recommend buying VienneMilano. Their material is durable against snags and tears. Your legs are an investment, why not dress them in the very best with VienneMilano Luxury Hosiery! Three reason why we suggest you buy VienneMilano:

1. Packaging – Most hosiery come in paper fold with plastic. VienneMilano hosiery comes in a care kit box. You will appreciate this the most. These are not disposable $1.99 hosiery, you must care for your VienneMilano hosiery the same way you do for your delicate lingerie. Hand-wash in mild detergent and let air dry. Once done, place pair in custom slip and store away in your “thigh high care box”. I absoultely love this and was sold to the brand just on the packaging alone.
2. Wear – Like most stockings they tend to have a shelf life of one day or when you get a run/tear in your stockings. Not the case with VienneMilano. When I buy hosiery, I buy in bulk. Not because of a run or tear, because of the quanitites in my size are always gone. VienneMilano always has my size available and their shelf life is longer than your local hosiery store carrier. Quality is always better. DID I MENTION, they have nude colors that are a perfect match!
3. Texture – I can get over how these thigh highs feel on my legs. My love can’t stop touching my legs. He even loves the way they feel and prefers them over the Department Store Brand. Like pure silk on a baby’s bottom. You don’t notice you have them on. Their breathable texture and sheerness with lace accents are meant for every women.

No more of mom’s opinion on your hosiery ladies! Get out their and buy you a pair of VienneMilano TODAY! Avaiable in different colors and styles. What I like the most about VienneMilano is they educate you on the importance of thigh highs and how to care for them. They have different collections for the Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer seasons! Whatever your occasion is, let VienneMilano be there to cover your gorgeous legs!

Recap Moments: Oscars 2014

Cinderella at The Ball : Lupita Nyong’o Wins at the Oscars 2014

Lupita Nyong’o at Oscars 2014

Best Actress in a Supporting Role….goes to….Ms. Lupita Nyong’o!

Last night was one of THE best Oscars we at The Style Loft has watched and can’t stop talking about. From the Red Carpet action to Ellen Degeneres handing out slices of pizza to hungry celebrities, only brought viewers like us right into all the action. As we tweeted all night long, past 12am of the notable events, we couldn’t stop screaming for joy as our nominees won. We all made bets against each other and as the winner of a $50 Starbucks card, I am proud to start this article off by congratulating all the winners and nominees from last night.

We couldn’t help but notice the sad-but-played-it-cool Leonard DiCaprio and the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” received no awards but at least we’re happy that the movie was nominated. It seems we were not the only ones feeling sad for Leo, as the trending topic on twitter was #PoorLeo. Let’s give this violin a few more chords by noting this is Leo’s fourth attempt at winning a Oscar. Of course you know people are taking as many shots at Leo especially since Matthew McConaughey was in the same movie with him. McConaughey won Best Actor in a Leading Role for the movie “Dallas Buyers Club“. At the end of the day both actors did a fantastic job in both movies, and we are predicting Leo will finally get a Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role next! Fingers crossed.

Let’s refocus on Ms. Lupita Nyong’o’s baby blue Prada dress, which she added her native Kenyan heritage to help inspire this dazzling dress to the Ball. Having her brother escort her to the Oscars and we couldn’t take our eyes off her the whole night. The grand finale of her night was one part of her speech that melted our hearts and opened our minds:

“When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every child, no matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid”. ~ Lupita Nyong’o

She made us realize that its our dreams that keeps us focus and running towards the next challenge. No matter what your status is in the world, your life has a purpose. Embracing who you are is important and understanding the hurdles and obstacles are trophies meant to be won along the way. Its the OSCARS we are shooting for and the Oscars symbolize faith, hope and prayer.

Black History Month 2014

Celebrating Black History Month @ The Style Loft.

Celebrating Black History Month is about recognizing the past, educating the present and moving forward. So many times, we truly miss the importance of celebrating Black History. It seems that holidays and days of remembrance are about consumer sales. “President’s Day Sale!” here or “Veterans Day Sale!” there. We forget about the African-American, Jewish, Latino, and Asian cultures that fought, died and struggle just so the next generation can grow and flourish.

Black History is everyone’s history. It’s my history. It’s a movement of a culture that was once considered property but now are equal. It’s a change to society that gave voting rights and equal opportunities to all mankind. It’s remembering the time of freedom that continues to ring. We must continually come together and unite for the better good of our brothers and sisters. Those before us fought, bleed and died just so we could sit on the front of the bus, attend any school in America, or hold the hand of another brother or sister.

Today it seems that our youth quickly forget about their African-American history, by degrading their heritage with foul language, offensive gestures, vulgar jokes, cruel remarks and blatant disrespect. It hurts to think about the future but pushes us to reach out into the community to show and teach what being proud of their African-American roots and taking pride within themselves looks like.

I have heard repeatedly how February is too short in the number of days to celebrate Black History. Yet we forget that our ancestors worked hard to get Black History recognized. It’s not about the number of days or the month in which its celebrated, Black History is all year-long. The next generation needs our help and its up to us to show, teach and train them. As an African-American woman, I am proud of those that came before me and will continue to help those after me.

Celebrate Black History Month 365 days! Be a role model or mentor! Show, teach and learn so all can grow together!

The Strapless Thong is HERE!!! by Shibue® Couture!

Shibue Couture LFW14

Shibue® Couture was born out of necessity when designer Jenny Buettner could not find an undergarment that did not show underneath her sleek silk gown. Every product on the market showed lines somewhere, whether it be across the hips from panties that touted “no lines,” or shape wear that pushed bulges out over the hips and the thighs. After much trial and error, the No-Line Strapless Panty was born! Since the launch of its initial product Shibue® has expanded to include new and innovate products that solve fashion dilemmas. Shibue® Couture prides itself on blending functionality with practicality, and sexy with classy. Women of all ages and sizes are encourage to experience the new freedom offered by Shibue® products!
