Baby It's Cold Outside...But You Can Still Look Hot! Intimates Experts Jenny Altman & Danielle Black Curate A Hamptons Lingerie Guide For KDHamptons Readers!
KDH loves beautiful lingerie. I recently learned about a great new website called ILOVEAGOOD.COM, the place online for anything and everything you ever wanted to know about intimates. Jenny Altman [above] is the CEO and self-described EOI [Expert of Intimates!]. Here’s how she learned her lingerie:
Jenny tells KDH, “In my years as a Fashion Editor for Oprah, Lucky and InStyle, I’ve helped dress everyone from Oprah and Gayle King to Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz. At O, the Oprah Magazine, and on the Today Show and GMA, I worked with REAL women—single moms, women who’d gained or lost pounds. It was so fulfilling. By the end of the day (after sharing and baring it all), they’d be hugging me in the dressing room.”
“Whether we’re talking Pilates-toned celebs or working women fighting to fit in a workout, it all begins with underwear, aka intimates. A good shaping garment is, literally, the foundation for a confident look,” says Jenny.
Jenny has tried out, tried on, and squeezed into pretty much every bra, panty and piece of shapewear in the business—so you don’t have to! Jenny spends lots of time on the East End, so we asked her to put together an official Hamptons Lingerie Guide for KDHamptons readers. Here’s what she shared:
“Unlike most other New Yorkers, fall is my favorite time of year to visit the Hamptons. No more stand-still traffic on Route 27, Citarella is a lot less crowded, the farm stands start selling pumpkins and you can find a place to park by the beach,” says Jenny.
“Another thing I really appreciate is that since the stores aren’t as packed, I can do some great shopping. Lingerie shopping is always one of my favorite past-times in NYC, and the same goes on my weekends out East. It’s very sexy to be by the beach, even when it’s cool out. I love wearing a gorgeous bodysuit under a big fall sweater-jacket as a layering piece. And no matter how cool it is, you always need gorgeous underwear as the base for every outfit.”
