They are a revolutionary, uniquely- shaped, disposable cotton patch that securely sticks in the curved crotch seam of your jeans or pants so you can go underwear free in cotton comfort and protection, the most important benefit of underwear.

If you hate VPL’s, Visible Panty Lines, or thongs, G-strings, wedgies, bulky panties,seek the comfort benefits of no panties but still want the cotton comfort and protection, these are for you.

What’s to lose but a little bulk and some panty lines.  I think you’ll like them!

Strappys were the original fashion solution

I guess this Fashion meets Function blog came together because I like things to be functional. I’m not a real frilly over the top kind of gal. But as a gal we have a hard time not falling for pretty or sexy or cool fashions and accessories. I always try to remember the mantra of needs vs. wants and be reasonable. Of course, when the item I’m desiring has a specific purpose, it sure helps me to justify that the need is strong and it outweighs the mere want.

Button Up with Bosom Button

I found the Bosom Button when I was featured alongside them in Smart Woman Magazine’s Gift Guide. The Bosom Button is a functional accessory to minimize bosom exposure. OK, so those of you with cleavage know that it can sure be nice to have cleavage to expose. Some of us actually work at this – but, another topic for another day! Well, it isn’t always classy or practical to let it all hang out. The Bosom Button is a simple pin made of Swarovski crystals or decorative stones. It’s very simply a pretty pin that you don’t have to hide. You just put it through your clothing where you need the “help”. It works great for low cut tops, but also for wrap dresses, scarves and even missing buttons. Bosom Buttons can be ordered individually or as a three piece set.

Some Stars have a BOOTY that will make your eyes POP

Why does it seem that every gal I know has a cute round butt? They all complain that it’s a pain to have this cute little butt. I always call them on it and say, “No way, you’ve skated through life for 35 years with people commenting on how cute your butt is. Do NOT tell me you are dissatisfied. I’m not buying it.”Well, this is something I am buying, BOOTY POP Panties. Will my booty look as good as some of the stars who are now wearing this? I don’t know but I’m going to find out.

Stay hip and classy with this little t-shirt

So I found another cool item I must talk about. It’s the hip-T. It covers your assets and cleans up the rear view for everyone’s viewing pleasure. When you bend over in those low rise jeans you don’t want that thong (or God forbid, gasp, those granny panties) playing peek-a boo. The hip-T is basically a half tank with lace trim that covers where you need it.

It’s great to lengthen those old really pretty camisole tanks that you can’t wear anymore because your tummy is hanging out.  Really, you’d be surprised at how many of your tops you can now wear comfortably by just slipping on a hip-t.

SHOES with interchangeable tops!!!

WOW! bras with interchangeable straps can really up the fashion statement, but shoes really are the thing that most women can’t resist.  So check this out. Onesole offers you the choice of about 7 different soles and I can’t even count how many tops they have.  They range from clog tops to monograms and collegiate emblems.  There are even US Post Office stamp inspired tops.  Of course I love the tops called strappies, of which there are 26 options to choose from.  The idea with onesole is that you change out the top of your shoe in a snap.  Can you imagine what it would be like to travel with ONE pair of shoes and a bunch of tops you just snap on to match each outfit?  Kind of like the idea of one bra and numerous straps. My travel bag is getting smaller!

Stop frustrating Heel Wedgies!

OK, I haven’t worn long pants in months. But I have to say I’m looking forward to donning some of my favorite jeans. I bought the cutest clogs last year and found it so frustrating that the hem of my jeans would get bunched up in the back of my shoe. This also happened whenever I put on shoes with pants. Living in San Diego, I wore two types of shoes – basic flip flops and open toe shoes with heels that did not have a back. I could occasionally wear boots, but shock, did that without socks! Well here is the fashion fixer that was a top finalist in Oprah’s search for the Next Big Idea, taa daa, Kix by Katie. I just ordered 3 packs. They come in 3 colors. Kix by Katie work by simply applying the lightweight, supportive strip to the inside back hemline of your pants. Acting like a “collar stay” for men’s shirts, Kix by Katie adds a little extra weight and rigidity to the pant leg to keep it hanging nicely. Love these little fixes…one less frustration in the day so you can focus on what you need to.
