Party with the SOL Flight Crew...and Us!


This summer, our fabulous SOL girl traded in her cool old pickup and took to the skies in our new campaign...SOL Air! We're celebrating the new campaign and thanking all the folks who make it possible - the models, the photographers, the make-up geniuses - and you - with a party at SOL!

Please join us August 25 from 5pm to 8pm. You can meet the talent behind the concept (including Photographer Jody Zorn, graphic artist Bari de Jaynes, make-up artist Sedrique Olison, hair stylist Noelle Benjamin, Stylist Jade Mountain and SOL Girl Tiffany Vartanyan.   AND you can have your picture taken with Tiffany. We'll even be showing the Behind the Scenes video put together by Andy Mountain throughout the evening.

Mix and mingle over airline peanuts and shop the new Fall lines from Prima Donna, Marie Jo, Eberjey and others, plus - everyone who attends receives their very own SOL Air luggage tag.

AND THE BEST PART?  Well, besides getting to hang out with me, you mean? Everyone who attends will be eligible for a drawing for a $500 shopping spree at SOL!

A portion of the evening's proceeds will be donated to Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum who generously offered their site as the location for the SOL Air photo shoot - so we really hope we'll see you there as we take off for the skies!

Leaves aren't changing yet...but heads are sure turning!

Even though we keep a very close eye on fashion trends and see what designers are doing months in advance of products being delivered, it still sometimes takes our breath away when we actually see these beautiful colors and styles up close!

We are getting in all of the new Fall collections in colors like amethyst and emerald - here's some of our favorites...


This is the Tonya by Marie Jo. Swoon, right? We've got it in two rich, gorgeous colors. It's fashionable, sensuous, and just the thing to warm your mood when temperatures start cooling down. (Aren't the flowers tres' perfect?) 





And this lovely little number is the Stockholm by Prima Donna. Playful yet classic, elegant yet seductive. And the embroidery on this one is pure luxe, no?




And for the ultimate in cute-meets-comfy? Try the Anouk by Eberjey. Super flattering and come in Shitake (shown here)  and French Vanilla. Love this!


We're so excited for Fall! Keep an eye on the website, we'll add new styles as they get here. Rich purples, teals, beautiful new styles...we can hardly wait.

What is SOL?

I've always loved lingerie. But the main reason I chose to start my own lingerie store was not only because did I think lingerie was beautiful, but because of how putting on a beautiful set made me FEEL. And that feeling is what I have tried to share with each of my customers over the last 13 years.

When we reached 1000 fans this week on Facebook we did a contest to give away a $100 gift card and asked people to share their favorite SOLism. WOW! I have to tell you reading all the comments brought tears to my eyes. It made me feel so good to see that our Fans get what we are trying to do here at SOL. That lingerie can mean many things to many people, but what we try to do is make women feel great about themselves.

Read some of the comments below or go to our Facebook page to read them all, or add your own. And to everyone who commented, THANK YOU. You made my week.

Love, Cindy

I love Sol so much that inside my own head I changed your name to "My Miracle Workers". My best friends even know exactly who I'm referencing when I say, "I'm going to visit my miracle workers this weekend." :)

All it took was one fitting and I'm a SOL/daisy girl for life.

Mine is embarassing and is a memory i have of laughing as one of your salespeople had to go get pads to fill out my A cups :( And them having to explain to my 8 year old why we were laughing so hard...

Not only does SOL have the best selection of Lingerie, but Jordy is awesome! The first time I came in, I felt like I had known her my whole life! LOVE me some SOL!!!

I bought my under wedding dress attire there over 11 years ago and all my bras sets since. Love SOL and recommend them to everyone.

I needed a strapless bra for an bridesmaid dress and a Victoria Secret employee told me that they didn't have bras that fit me and girls like me shouldn't wear strapless dresses Devastated that she hurt my feelings and that I wasn't going to find anything, I discovered SOL where I left with a great bra and feeling much better about myself!

I haven't bought a bra from any other store since my first SOL fitting. that was...hmm...so long ago I can't remember. i'd rather wear an old ratty bra from SOL than a new one from anywhere else. :)

Before I discovered SOL, I had to wear "grandma" bras because it is impossible to find pretty bras in my size. Now I have bras in different colors and styles and every single one is cute! I've also noticed a difference in my posture and have less back pain because I actually have support now! Thanks SOL:)

I love SOL because they are such an important part of my old normal and my "new normal" post reconstruction!

Its so great to wear an essential item that makes you feel so sexy!

I took my friends on a bra marathon a couple of years ago. I searched on line, made some calls, got on mapquest, then hopped in the car and started driving to top of the line lingerie stores, trying to find the perfect bra. SOL was the winner, hands down! We are "sold on SOL!"

Wearing SOL bras has completely upped my confidence and posture, sexy pieces underneath clothing that fit properly can completely change your attitude and self esteem! thank you for your staff and great products!

SOL makes me enjoy being a relatively busty girl, rather than just be frustrated with my chest. Not only is everyone I've worked with at SOL amazing but the bras are gorgeous and actually come in my size! Also found some wonderful things for my upcoming honeymoon :D

Solism=Sexyism!!!! Thanks to all the girls at sol!!

I LOVE SOL because the wonderful SOL ladies have made bra shopping such a positive experience...I literally had a tearful meltdown the last time I tried to shop for bras elsewhere & luckily a friend told me about SOL. I'll never shop anywhere else for bras again!!!

I've never seen anything in SOL I wouldn't have been excited to own -- my cotton Eberjey nightie in particular is just the best thing ever. It's a great shop run by great people!

I like the way my husband is welcomed into the dressing room, to see the lovely things I'm trying on. Heck, it's a win-win situation!!

Daisy Bra changed my life! Shopping at Sol gives me "that Sol feeling. " When I leave swing a bright yellow bag I always feel sexy, confident and generally elated. Even if I spend more than I plan, I never regret a Sol purchase!

I decided to get a professional bra fitting for my 40th and have been going back ever since . . . even introduced 7 friends who are hooked on Sol too!

Changed my life - and everything in my wardrobe! Seems there is a secret society out there who love your store as much as I do!

Sol uplifts my soul (and the girls, too....) Best bra shop EVER. :-)

I love SOL! Having a bra fitting and now wearing the right size bra has changed my life!

SOL brought my roommate and I together...I transferred schools and had to find myself a place to live and people to live with. When I met one of the girls, my Daisy bra strap was showing, she asked me if I by any chance shop at SOL. I told her it's the only place I shop, she feels the same way...Now we're roommates!
