Beautyfull for our sensitive side

Since our inception in 2004 (almost time for our ten year anniversary!) our best-selling and most comfortable bra has been from the Anita line. This German lingerie company has perfected several styles made specifically for sensitive skin. The size range is excellent (from band 30-44 and through H cup), and the fabric is uniquely pleasing to the skin.

For years we have marveled at the benefits of the “Twin”, Anita’s most popular style. The Twin boasts the Standard 100 certification, which simply means the independent European testing and certification system Oeko-Tex has 100 percent confidence that this textile is devoid of any substance potentially harmful to human skin. This is awarded only to fabrics that correspond to the pH of our skin and contain no allergy-inducing dyes.

Our skin produces secretions that cause it to be slightly acidic on the pH scale. The acid mantle of our epidermis is key to protecting our body from foreign contaminants that are primarily alkaline in nature. People with sensitive skin can easily have their balance thrown off by soaps and other chemical substances or environmental factors, and it can take up to 36 hours to restore harmony! Each and every part of the Twin, right down to the thread used to bind components together, is made with this balance in mind.

Alicia by Anita

A best seller for good reason, the Twin is available in both wire and wire-free versions and gives a comfortable yet supported feel for everyday. Another favorite is the beautiful Alicia, which functions as Anita’s minimizing bra—the cup fabric is much more taut than the Twin and, paired with a taller underwire, is engineered to have a firmer hold. The most popular sports bra we carry, Firm Control,  is also by Anita—an exquisite, thoughtful design that manages to feel lightweight and breathable while providing the ideal fit for activity.

Work Out in Style - Flattering Activewear

Getting the motivation to go the gym is hard enough without having activewear that supports your active pursuits. Fortunately, Jo Karen has all sorts of options along with experienced associates who probably go to the same gym you do!

Now that warm activewear SnowAngel season is wrapping up (please no more snow!) we have begun to receive the new spring arrivals!

An early favorite has been a new vendor for us called Ryka. The rise to their pants is comfortably mid- to high-rise, making it flattering and secure for all activity.

Ryka size range starts at extra small and goes to 3X.


One of the best pieces I've seen from them so far is the Skirted Legging which allows the unparalleled comfort of leggings with the modesty of a skirt!

Our number one sportswear company has long been Moving Comfort. They are known for their variety of sports bras but in 2014 we are very pleased with their activewear offerings! The Metro line includes the Tank (Pictured), Tee, and Capri (Pictured.)

Combined with the exclusive wicking fabric aptly named DriLayer, these pieces are the epitome of styling that not only looks good but also makes sense. The Metro Tank starts with a relaxed fit racerback style which scoops at the hemline for a pretty look that lets you move the way you want.

Other gems by Moving Comfort include the Gotta Love It Tank (we do) that boasts a bit of compression in a to-die-for fabric with a classic fit.

Their Sprint Tech Capri is another winner with all the right bells and whistles - a wide band at the waist with a zipper pocket in the back, reflective details which flatter the line of the leg along with a snug fit that is sure to be a hit with all the runners!

 So whether you are fulfilling New Years resolutions or getting back to your usual  spring activity - we are ready to help you work it!

See you soon!
