What's new

New on the blog today (and a big big thank you to everyone who shared with us some things they want to move on from). No secret that we, as a store, kind of love Halloween. Costumes, candy, decorating- the whole lot. So we figured: perfect excuse to speak some truth about the beliefs that we felt hold us back (and that our dear clients expressed frustration with as well) - behold, our monument to the thoughts we’d like to bury and leave behind. #linkinbio #windowdressing #visualmerchandiser #smallbusinessbigdreams #womanowned #charlottesville #roanoke #believeinyourself #selflove #halloweendecor #virginiasmallbusiness
Its Go-Fest in Roanoke this weekend, which celebrates the amazing activities you can do outside in the area. And for all those activities, nothing is better than a proper fitting & supportive sports-bra. No matter the size, we have you covered! #brafitboutique #brafitting #sportsbra #sportsbras @anitasince1886usa @sculptresse @lovepanache
Let’s talk about changing our body shapes: First pic - this is Megan, our owner, no shapewear. Megan has a 3year old, and only works out when she feels like it. . Second pic - this is Megan, with a corset. Somewhat similar to the Merrywidow incident - this changes the body shape with serious engineering in steel and cotton coutil. . For better or worse - a corset will seriously change your body shape. Much more than elastic shapers, but they do come with some drawbacks. Also: you don’t have to change your body shape for an event, or a dress, or another person. But: if you’re intent on making a temporary body shape adjustment, nothing will ever top a high quality corset. . We are always happy to suggest shaper options designed to be smoothing and comfortable - because if we’re going to suffer for beauty, it’s going to be a snazzy pair of high heels. . Have you ever worn a corset? What’d you think? Tell us your shapewear stories below - or dm us and we’ll share our favs anonymously. Happy Friday y’all! #fittipfriday #shapewear #corset #tightlacing #foundations #brafitting #shopsmall #charlottesville #roanoke #virginia

Katherine Legge, Brittish born racing driver, is our #WCW choice of the week. Born in Guilford, UK in July 1980. Her entry into the racing world began with a family holiday trip when her father, uncle and she went go-karting for fun. At age 9, she was given a go-kart and her passion for speed took off. Legge said of her first go-kart and early racing “I loved it. It gave me a purpose in life and kept me out of trouble; it gave me a focus.” in a recent forbes.com article. In June of the 2006 Champ Car season, she became the first woman to lead a lap in series history, leading 12 laps at Milwaukee. Legge suffered a violent accident at the 2006 Grand Prix of Road America when the rear wing of her car broke; she was able to walk away from the car unharmed. In May 2015, Legge announced her involvement with the Grace Autosport project to enter the 2016 Indianapolis 500 race. Working with the support of the FIA's Women in Motorsport Commission, the all-female team set out to promote technology and engineering as a career for young women. As part of Girls On Track, the FIA’s model for the promotion and development of young women in motorsport at the grassroots level. “Legge shares the following to encourage young girls wanting to participate in motorsport: Never give up. If it’s something you really want to do, you’ll find a way to do it. Block out the white noise. Don’t let the outside world affect your desire and drive to do it. Be motivated by the ultimate goal you’ve set for yourself. “ To learn a little more about Katherine Legge, consider reading the forbes.com article How Katherine Legge Is Redefining What It Means To Be A Racecar Driver.  Credit to the article for some quotes above. #derrieredesoiewcw #womeninscience #stem #womeninracing #womancrushwednesday #derrieredesoie #womenhelpingwomen #Womenempoweringwomen

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, remembered for her self-portraits, pain, passion, and bold, vibrant colors is our #WCW of the week. Frida Kahlo was born in 1907 in Coyocoan, Mexico City, Mexico. She suffered poor health in childhood. Kahlo contracted polio at the age of 6 and was bedridden for nearly a year. The disease left lasting marks on her body, causing her to limp for the rest of her life. In 1922, she was involved in a tragic bus accident that left her with a great deal of pain for the rest of her life. She was severely injured, including a fractured spine and pelvis. It was during her recovery from this accident Kahlo started painting. She decided to paint what she knew best, herself. In 1928, Kahlo married famed muralist Diego Rivera. Together they spent the late 1920s and early 1930s travelling in Mexico and the United States together. During this time, she developed her artistic style, drawing her main inspiration from Mexican folk culture, and painting mostly small self-portraits which mixed elements from pre-Columbian and Catholic beliefs. Kahlo and Rivera’s relationship was tumultuous, and anything but “normal.” Both had many affairs; they kept separate homes, they divorced, and later they remarried. However, this relationship would provide substance for many of Kahlo’s most famous paintings including the Two Fridas. As a painter, her self-portraits took on surrealistic aspects. She once wrote "Really I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself". Kahlo's work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and indigenous traditions and by feminists for what is seen as its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. Kahlo died in 1954 at the age of 47. #womeninart #derrieredesoieWCW #womencrushwednesday #fridakahlo #derrieredesoie #femaleicons
I made some edits to the @cityofcharlottesville signage closing the #downtownmallcrossings today - what do you think? . Please note, no signage was defaced - just some photo editing. We, and our neighbors on 4th St NE are open for business, even though the street is closed to vehicles today. . Maybe if we share this enough, the city will change their signage to reflect that businesses on the closed street are still open and ready to help you find records, flowers, pie, lingerie, and sweet treats. . Happy Tuesday, friends! #charlottesville #cvilleshopping #livelovelocal #virginia #smallbusinesslife #supportlocal #historicdtm #visitcharlottesville #historicdowntownmall #shoplocal #openforbusiness #discovercharlottesville
