A buying trip for the record books! Belgium and Versailles!








I am super excited....Europe here I come! Jeanie, Amanda, and I normally attend two panty shows each year. One in Paris and one in New York, but this year we were invited to a super cool gala being held in Versailles. Of course we accepted the invite and we've brought our handsome husbands as our dates. Since we would be in France, we decided to just pop over to Belgium to see all the new lines from Marie Jo and PrimaDonna before they are shown in New York. So we are adding one more buying trip to the year.

While in the land of lovely lingerie, I will be blogging all about our crazy-busy days filled with incredible designers meetings, viewing the coolest fashions in lingerie, attending exclusive fashion shows, and of course buying amazing European bras, panties and jammies for our SOL girls. However, the highlight of this trip is going to be attending a soiree in Marie Antoinette's castle on Sunday. Check out the move Maire Antoinette (2006 film) by Sofia Coppola. That's what I'm imaging it to be like.
This gala will be the biggest party of the season, hosted by the lingerie show (SILS) that we attend each year in Paris as it is celebrating 50 years of success! Jeanie and I were personally invited by the gentleman that owns SILS for Sol to be counted among the 1,500 people asked world wide.

On a work note... Belgium is the home to your favorite bras, PrimaDonna and Marie Jo, and we’re super pumped to see the latest panties for spring/summer 2014. After seeing the spring collection, the design teams have asked me to review all of their preliminary designs for their fall/winter 2014 collections and I can't wait! I’m giving them my expert advice on their future designs, lace selection and colors. Wonder if they will take my advice on a grass green or orange daisy bra.  Hmmm...

In lieu of you stowing away in my luggage, you can join our week-long adventure in the comfort of your own home while wearing something cool and sexy! I’ll be blogging daily, uploading photos on Facebook and sending out tweets of all the cool things we’re seeing and doing during our time in Ghent, Schellebelle, Giverny, Versailles, and everywhere in between these amazing cities.

We can’t wait to share this amazing trip with our SOL girls!
