Snow Day!

Brrr it's cold outside! Due to the snowstorm SOL is closed today, October 29th. Which makes it a perfect day to cozy up inside wearing your favorite robe and clean out your lingerie drawer! There are just a few days left of our Gathering Place Bra Drive (although we do collect bras year round). Enjoy this snowy day! Stay warm and be safe!

What Happens Off Camera

I thought you might enjoy seeing what happens off camera when we go to NYC to film for the Today Show. Above, my sister Jeanie and I enjoy a rainy moment in Times Square!

Early morning, as I pick an early riser, Erin, from the crowd for a “bra makeover.”

Check out the segments to see the end results. They are up on our Press/TV section of our website!

Make A Wish!

As I was going through old pictures, I found these old ones of SOL, before we opened the doors for business. No fish in the fountain, no bras on the boards…long before Hanky Pankys and sidewalk sales. It is with fond memories that we celebrate 12 years since opening our doors. Happy Birthday SOL. We have had a lot of great times in those 12 years…but I think 13 will be the best yet!

We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do!

Last Sunday, Lara and I showed our SOL girl spirit, and love for our team at the Broncos/Cowboys game. It was an exciting game, especially near the end when the Broncos scored to win.

Now, I don’t know much about football… I left that part up to Lara, who is an avid Broncos fan and who has been attending the games since she was little. But I do know that it is easy to get into the game when you are so close to the action. It definitely helped to have these custom made Hanky Panky’s (see above) to get us in the spirit…thanks Gloria! GO BRONCOS!

The Gathering Place: An Uplifting Cause

It was many years ago that I dropped a box of bras off at The Gathering Place, a local women’s shelter. They told me that the box of nearly 200 bras would be gone by the end of the day. Suddenly I realized that these women needed a lift, in more ways than one. This is how SOL’s bra drive was born.

Once a month we take gently worn, donated bras (from our generous customers) to their facility, where our fitters donate their time to fit these women and give them 3 good bras each. Every month the line for fittings is out the door, and we receive hugs and thanks all around from these grateful women.

While we take donations of bras all year round, I would love to remind everyone that October is our official “Bra Drive”. So, clean out your bras and bring us the ones that don’t work for you anymore. We accept all sizes, styles, colors, sports bras and even nursing bras! Donate your bras and make a difference.
