OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, September 23, 2009 · 36 Bra fittings like nowhere else When I was in Paris this month for City Mode Show boiling in my linen pants since it was quite warm, Parisian women were already wearing boots, tights and sweaters. That is called being fashionable in Paris -September comes and everybody changes his or her wardrobe from summer to fall. I was adoring the new styles and the courage of the Parisian women who in order to be stylish are able to suffer wearing leather boots at 28 C. Stores in Paris are full of new styles and colors, everything looks great and shopping is easy, but my main concern was lingerie. You might think that person who sells bras for living would be sick and tired of looking at bras when shopping for her wardrobe, but you are wrong. I just love to browse through lingerie stores when traveling, and each time I do, I have the great satisfaction of knowing how good of a selection we have here in Canada. We are fortunate to have lingerie lines from all over the world, though when you visit places such as France, Barcelona and London, you will only find local lines. This new collections of Chantelle, Prima Donna, Mari Jo, Lise Charmelle, Simone Perell and other bra lines will be shipped from the European stores by airplane to Canada, and you can have it next day. I was very proud that my store in Canada has in many cases more selection in styles, and colors then many of the lingerie store in Paris, Cannes or Barcelona. On top of our style selection, we offer much better service since for example none of the store I visited on my trip was offering bra fittings, and their sizes were very limited, where we have sizes from A to J. It is no wonder that our customers bring their European guests for bra fittings, as they say that at Goodnight Goodmorning bra fitting are like nowhere else now I know what they mean. When I was browsing through the Spring 2010 City Mode Show and looking at the new trends, new styles of fashion bras for fall 2009 were shipped to Goodnight Goodmorning.

Get perfect fall hair (NC)--Today's wavy 'do is a lightly polished version of beachy waves, says New York City celeb stylist Charles Baker Strahan. The look works for shorter, bobbed styles and shoulder-length or longer hair. Natural waves or slight curls are a bonus. "It's about touchable sex appeal, a softened unstructured look," says Strahan. Start with a gentle shampoo, and a conditioner that protects against heated appliances. Strahan cites Herbal Essence's aptly named Tousle Me Softly line, a new, walletfriendly collection of hair products. On wet hair, apply mousse. Strahan likes the one from Tousle Me Softly for its non-sticky texture. "If you have fine hair, you want to work it through the roots of almost-dry hair before you finish your blowdry, for a little extra control," he advises. Medium to thick hair will benefit from the line's spray gel on damp hair to set the style. For frizzy, unruly hair, the collection's finishing touch conditioning cream smoothes and adds shine. Work the waves with a narrow flat iron. Strahan says to squeeze the iron closed over a two-inch section of hair about midway up the shaft and wrap the lower part around the barrel. Hold for a few seconds, release; repeat on random sections. "The key is imperfection," stresses Strahan. For additional texture, Strahan also makes "pincurl sandwiches" -- he fashions a pincurl shape with a section of hair then clamps it flat with the iron. "A mix of textures gives a rock'n'roll sexiness," he says. Finish by combing through hair with your fingers and misting lightly with Tousle Me Softly's flexible hairspray.
