The Brazen Blog

Parfait is a brand our store loves to carry and customers love to wear! Their blog is full of fun stories and interviews like the one below; and inspired us to start a blog of our own! Last summer we were lucky enough to be featured, and we're so excited to share that interview with you in 4 parts. Parfait Team: What inspired you to start a business? Christine Longette:  It’s kind of a funny story.  A few years back I had been frustrated at my job where my boss haphazardly decided to close the office over the holidays and leave all the staff without pay for 2 weeks.  During that 2 weeks, my one and only bra that really fit somehow disappeared.  In looking around for a store near my home that sold my size (34G) I found that there weren’t any unless I drove over 30 minutes away.  So… I guess I was inspired by my own need, and knew that couldn’t be the only woman in my area who wears a hard to find size. Parfait: What about the lingerie industry...

There's something very chic about hi-tech intimacy. (And I think Gretchen Weiners would agree.) Believe it or not, sex toys can actually be fashionable, sleek and designed rather than just made. Long gone are the days of cheap, dolphin shaped, phallic objects hidden in a shoe box under your bed. (Unless that's your jam. Then you go girl!)  Now you can have a vibrator that's as beautiful and as well made as your red bottoms! Which, in my opinion, is kinda erotic. I mean, there's nothing less sexy than needing to change the batteries in your "right hand man" right in the middle of...well...ya know.  Let me put it simply ladies. There's a fashionable and hi-tech sex toy revolution coming; and you don't want to miss the bus. (Or get hit with it. Might as well stick with the "Mean Girls" allusions.) So here are our top 5 chic sex toys and accessories for all you Brazen Girls! (And men too.) 1. LELO Sona "O.M.G" T...

I wholeheartedly believe that the key to any seasonal transition is layering. Getting cold? Throw on a chunky sweater or wrap. Still cold? Try a scarf. Heat finally kicks in? Take it all off again. It's so incredibly simple ...PLUS you can mix and match different colors and patterns into your outfit. BUT every good layering outfit needs a base; and here's our favorite... Sugarlips tank tops and camisoles are the PERFECT layering essential. One-sized, with unbelievable stretch , our tank tops provide light control and smoothing; while the camisoles are more relaxed. We keep these stocked in almost every color under the sun, so the world is your oyster! Pair with jeans and you're good to go!

Some may have it buried deep within themselves while others wear it proudly on their sleeve, but we all have a bit of BRAZEN inside. We wanted to create a place where we can not only share our thoughts on bras, lingerie and fashion, but poetry, movies, music and whatever fits the mood at the moment! People are like diamonds. They're multifaceted with different tastes and interests; and so are we! We wanted to celebrate that!  All is welcome in our boutique...and our blog!  No one is too small or too big, nor are they bound by society’s labels. We aim to make every person that visits us leave with a bit more warmth in their hearts and a large dose of confidence!   We believe that a lingerie boutique is a special place where the intimate can be discussed with expertise, without judgment, where boundaries are defined or expanded, where illusion becomes reality, and where playfulness comes alive! We hope you join us here.  If you have any ideas about posts...
