More Lingerie, Please.

Hi Friends:

As promised, today we will talk lingerie!  Some say lingerie is a waste of money…but how could something silky and lacy be a waste? It’s about your personal style. I believe lingerie should be part of your daily wardrobe.  I’m not saying you should wear a garter everyday but replacing the old t-shirt you may sleep in might be nice {not judging, sometimes I still sleep with t-shirts..shhh}.  Anyways, I really do love how delicate and beautiful it all is-I dream of having not a drawer but a closet full of it.{I’m pretty sure I’ve written this to you guys before..lol} If you’re like me, you will love Journelle. It’s my favorite lingerie shop! It’s like no other in the city. I’ve been to several of their locations in NYC and not only do I get superb service but I never want to leave. It really just captures the “feel good” vibe that we ladies like when we walk into a store. I don’t know how to describe it really, take my word and go check it out! Oh, and for those looking for more than just La Perla slips-don’t you worry-Journelle carries beautiful everyday loungewear as well. After all, they have to live up to the name…. Journelle was inspired by the french word Journellement, which means “daily”. The staff at Journelle truly believes lingerie should be worn everyday. 🙂

Below are my faves for V-Day! 🙂 Don’t forget to check out their site: www.journelle.com.

 

 

 

V-Day Inspirations

Happy Friday!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful week! Valentine’s Day is less than a month away and this week I was inspired to make a V-Day mosaic for you guys! Valentine’s Day is a perfect day to go freshen up that lingerie drawer (or, closet!) and add new pieces. If buying lingerie is not your thing, then maybe a new sparkly necklace or a new outfit for the night out with your lover or bestie will work too! 🙂

I hope the photo clips from Pinterest will inspire you!  Aside from shopping for the special day, I really look forward to getting treated to a fabulous dinner in the city. Next week I will bring you my top 10 restaurants for V-Day along with lingerie pieces from my fave store in NYC. Excited! 🙂

Have a great weekend!

 

 

Exposed

Hi friends!

On Tuesday, I took a short trip to the Museum at FIT. My cousin had emailed me about a temporary lingerie exhibit that they were having called: “Exposed-A History of Lingerie” . The exhibit showcased the fashion evolution of lingerie starting from the 18th century until the present. The pieces were all very beautiful and each piece told a story about a woman’s life and personality.

Truth be told, I have always been a bit obsessed with lingerie. Honestly, what you wear underneath is just as important as your outfit. I would argue it’s even more important. Ever notice how the wrong bra can mess up an entire outfit? Hello!! Hehe. Also, get ready to go shopping after you leave because the exhibit will leave you with a desire to splurge on new silky pajamas!

So, if you have some time, go to the Museum at FIT and check it out-the exhibit is available until November 15.

Check out my faves from the exhibit. 🙂
