Flat Bum? You'll love these jeans!!

I just bought my first pair of Not Your Daughters Jeans brand jeans at Jag Wear in Red Deer. If like me, you haven't got much booty in the trunk these jeans will be your new favorite piece of clothing. My normally flat bum looks hot, hot, hot in these jeans...just ask my hubby.

Designed for Real Canadian Women, these jeans tuck in your tummy (a little anyway) and with strategically placed pockets and design details, they will lift your bum and give you the appearance of a rounder, fuller shape.

Pink Suede Unveils a New Logo Design

In the formal launch of services, we have a new logo to share. Every girl deserves great shoes...and there are never enough styles to choose from. So as we say goodbye to those summer sandals, let's look ahead to fabulous pumps, boots and everything comfy in between.

Just 5 more pounds...

If I received a nickle for every time I heard someone say "I can't wait to lose just 5 more pounds so I can find the perfect outfit" I would be a wealthy woman. If you are like me, you probably think that the number on the scale is the dictator of your fashion woes...take heart, there is a way to release this finicky, mean old dictator who keeps you down. Do you know that understanding your body type, shape and size is the first key to finding garments that fit and enhance your beautiful shape...no matter what size, or how many pounds you'd like to change on the scale. A quick trick to helping you feel great is to take a trip to your favorite lingerie store and choose a proper fitting, pretty new bra. Don't be shy to ask for a fitting...most women are wearing an incorrect size in their undergarments which can instantly add 5 or more pounds to their frame. Find the best fit you can afford and feel great knowing that under those winter layers is something pretty and sexy just for you!

What does Arminnie know about Image?

Since Pink Suede is new, I want to share a little about myself.

I am a mother of 3 boys - 18, 4 and almost 3. So I am busy like most women. Finding time to work out, eat right, and get enough rest to do my body good, is a challenge.

At 5' 3" (well o.k. 5' 2-1/2") I will never grace the high fashion runway. I am blessed/burdened with a curvy hour-glass figure that poses challenges as well as rewards when dressed well. And I rarely leave the house without heels, except to go to the park with my kids...no matter how much I love the height those stilettos give me, I do love to play tag so flats are the way to go some days.

When our last child was born in 2006, I faced my biggest body challenge yet. I was the lucky receiver of a hyp0-thyroid condition. Fairly common post-partum according to my doctor. What wasn't so easy to explain away is the additional 25 pounds on my already overweight, short figure. In a nutshell, I felt awful. My clothes didn't fit, and I grew 3-4 sizes everywhere. It was a challenging and difficult time for me. However, the universe has reminded me that these things always have a silver lining...mine is a more gracious understanding of the trials we all face as women to feel truly great about our bodies.

So for now universe, I will take my daily hormone pill, be thankful that I've mananged to lose 20 of those pesky extra pounds, and take solice in the fact that I can always find wonderful choices in clothing no matter what size I am today...I just gotta think like a detective.
