Man Candy Monday

We'd like to give a huge "Man Candy Monday" shout-out to these fine young gentlemen from the Eta Delta Delta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity at George Mason University <3 

They are collecting gently used bras on the George Mason campus to support Belle Mode's 4th Annual Bra Drop & Bras for Hope Event on Saturday, October 24th.

This is a great example of men supporting the women in their community by highlighting a predominately female health issue.  Women of college age need to be aware of the preventative measures they can take to ensure breast health & we absolutely love that this fraternity is spreading the word! 

Did we mention that they found us!?!  We were totally caught off guard when a representative from the chapter walked  into Belle Mode to ask our permission to collect bras for our bra drop.  Our customers often tell us that their husbands are too embarrassed to come pick up their bras for them, so we were quite impressed.

We think what you gentlemen are doing is exemplary & you are a bigger part of our event than you know.  Can't wait to meet you on the 24th, xoxo!

Jala Clothing - a SoCal yoga inspired apparel line

We've had our eye on Jala Clothing quite some time now and are excited to announce that it has finally arrived!  With this SoCal yoga inspired apparel line we are bringing our Northern Virginia fashionista's some of the finest West Coast vibes that will certainly stand out here wherever you choose to wear it.

Not only are we in love with all of Jala's trendy designs, but we also have a serious crush on their business model for the following reasons:

1. They support local by seeking out local California family-owned suppliers that manufacture ethically.  The support local movement is crucial to our community and something we do every chance we get!
2. They love the planet we live on and go to great extents to take care of it.  From not using air conditioning to putting recycled materials in their clothing, Jala Clothing is a company that doesn't just talk the talk, but they walk the walk!  It's scary how fast our planet is heating up - ladies and gentlemen, Global Warming IS HAPPENING and we certainly admire the dedication this company has put forth to make our world a better place.
3. They care about their customers by obtaining Confidence in Textiles: Oeko-Tex Standard 100, and Bluesign certifications.  These ensure that their products have been tested for harmful substances.

Cup Sized Swimwear at Belle Mode SS15

Do you have trouble finding a bathing suit that fits you and is comfortable enough to wear all day long?   Is the S-XL size range just not cutting it for you anymore?

Well then, guess what?  You are 110% NORMAL and the ladies at Belle Mode Intimates are here to help you find a well fit bathing suit that flatters your unique body type.  You see, in order to get proper support from a S,M,L or XL size your breasts need to be proportional to your rib-cage, which we know first hand here at the store that this is very rare.  Thank goodness lingerie designers caught onto this and we have a MUCH more diverse size range in the intimates department.

At Belle Mode Intimates we feature bra sized swimwear for bikinis, tankinis, and one piece style suits that are designed to fit your curves perfectly and provide you with the support you need to fully enjoy your fun in the sun!  The following photos are styles that are arriving any day now from the following designers: Huit, Panache, Freya, and Fantasie in cup sizes B-H.

No more wardrobe malfunctions at the beach for our fashionistas who choose to wear cup sized swimwear!

Squeem Debut at Belle Mode

After many phone calls and requests, we are excited to announce that we have officially brought Squeem "Magical Lingerie" on board here at Belle Mode!  Made in Brazil for almost 40 years, Squeem was inspired by bringing sensuality and comfort into the lives of women around the world. The product line is custom-made to give customers a magical experience, helping them look and feel good, always.

A breakthrough fabric technology made of a unique mix of cotton and natural rubber fused into a thin, single layer, compressive fabric.  Some benefits of this intelligent fabric technology are - Superior shaping results, firms and flattens the stomach, corrects posture, and alleviates abdominal and back pain (consult your physician).  There's been a lot of talk about waist training lately, and this is something that could be used for that.  However, we do not recommend you doing so until you are properly educated about it.

Photographed below are the two products we have at the store, the perfect waist, and the miracle vest.

Perfect Waist

Miracle Vest

Squeem products shape your body into a perfect figure using the triple-filtered cotton lining for superior comfort.  The 100% natural rubber exterior allows the garment to adapt to your body and physical beauty.  The garments have internal flexible boning for additional spot control to create a homogeneous compression.

Ready to get that beach body in tact?  Jump start your diet with Squeem today!  

Valentine's Day 2015 at Belle Mode Intimates

Here's a tip from the pros: if your man needs a little help shopping, remind him that we can look up your past purchases to find your size and brand preferences if you opted into our rewards program. That way he'll come home with something from the heart & in the right size.
