Belle Être was created as a solution, translated into English “Beautiful Being” for women of all backgrounds, shapes, sizes, and ethnicities. Created to be 100% a Body conscious line, while never compromising sex appeal. After several conversations with women of all ages, in all circumstances, The creator was noticing a pattern, a decline in many women’s self confidence, also an unhealthy game of comparison. Understanding In an age of the internet and social media Comparison and low self esteem were easier accessible almost going hand in hand. Creating a line that would help women all over the world understand that self confidence begins from within, (mentally) was extremely important. Every piece was designed, and hand picked with YOU, the REAL YOU, not the title you hold, not what the world has labeled you as, not the edited version but the YOU, YOU in heart and mind.

 

 

Belle Etre was founded by Angelica Whaley her personality summed up would be a mixture of spicy/fiery and a hopeless romantic. Ever since Angelica was old enough to walk, feminine pieces and materials would intrigue her, from her mothers long satin robes, down to the pearl detailing on some night gowns, she became infactuted with Lace, silk, and sheer things at a very young age, often stealing her mothers most elegant pieces to serve as wardrobe in her vivid imagination during play time.

 

“I never felt because I was alone or without a husband or boyfriend that buying sexy sleep and lounge wear was inappropriate or pointless, it was confidence for me! It was like escaping my everyday life on those hard times, and venturing off mentally into a rich lavish life, fancy -smancy life I knew I wanted and deserved to some day live, when I was inside my small one bedroom apartment, when I put on my long lace and silk robe, it was as if I lived in a mansion with the most grand staircase, haha. There was something about my lounging around the house days working but not feeling like a bum, even when I was bumming it! The thought of feeling sexy and looking sexy has always been about me, and still is. I like to believe I exude sexiness whether someone acknowledges that or not.”

 

“I wanted ppl to know, that looking great, was a result of feeling great, no matter how tall or short, big or small you were, you CAN BE SEXY, because YOU declare so. Stop looking at social media, the internet or the tv to define what “sexy” is to YOU, why are you looking there when we have mirrors everywhere??? Thats the only place you’re going to find “sexy” when it comes to YOU. I aimed toward finding that woman who truly always thought lace and silk, and all the girlie things were just plain ol RIDICULOUS, (or at least she tried to convince herself of that) due to the fact that she lacked confidence in how it would look on her body….even worst she lacked self love, and was scared of what her spouse or anyone else would think, so many women lose themselves in self COMPARISON. It breaks my heart. Truly. I wanted that person in Belle Etre, perhaps for them to be able to feel a feeling they never felt before. A type of self validation, they no longer craved or needed from anyone else. I want Belle Etre to remind women they are beautifully created by the lord, not by this world, its standards, and its “cookie cutter trends, looks, or behavior. “ 

 

So just know every piece was designed, hand picked with YOU, the REAL YOU, not the title you hold, not what the world has labeled you as, but the YOU, YOU. (Lol.)In my mind.

 

Love Always,


Angelica
