The Bra Brigade: How to Flaunt Yours Like a Snob
The Aussies have a delightfully irreverent way with fashion and an quirky take on the high-low mix. The girls Down Under also know how to flaunt what they’ve got up top – without showing off all the goods. With Australian Fashion Week in full swing, Tommy Ton snapped up a handful of hotties who show [...]
Seen on the Street Roundup: Paris and Milan Fashion Week, Fall 2012
1. Spotted at Milan Fashion Week, this Jil Sander beanie-veil hybrid is a favorite with the fashion set. With a nubby, candy pastel-tinted sweater, it looks extra avant-garde. Of course, the awe-striking runways are the main attraction for Fashion Week, but sometimes it’s what’s on the streets that excites me most! Sure, the catwalkers might [...]
Top 5 Valentine’s Day Treats: Underneath It All
The holiday for lovers gives new meaning to the term “intimate apparel.” While the thought of getting all dolled up for your man could make some feel like they’re trying too hard, I say go for any excuse to don new lingerie! It’s not like it will go unappreciated – just keep it simple and [...]
Holmes & Yang Vintage Silk Pajamas: Slumber Party
Why should “outside-wear” get all the attention? I don’t know why people don’t shell out good money for pajamas – you spend half your life in them! A pair of silky-soft, beautifully made pajamas is the ultimate in luxury, don’t you agree? Now Holmes & Yang have presented us with a pair we can’t refuse. [...]

Why wait for February 14th? Give yourself – and your honey – the gift of intimacy now with this beautiful set of bra and panties. Leave it to a British label with a longstanding history in corsetry to deliver coquettish lingerie that isn’t in-your-face – and nor is it overmodest. In fact, when it comes [...]
Ender Legard Grace Corset: Body Rock
Many have tried, few have succeeded: to take the corset out of Scarlett O’Hara territory (seriously, 18”?!) and the girdle out of Christian Dior’s New Look (as appealing as it was in 1947). Ender Legard has actually modernized the corset, maintaining the appeal of that slim waist we yearn for and actually adding comfort to [...]
NuBra Feather-Lite: This Ought to Perk You Up
Anti-bra brilliance! While I never could get used to the heavy weight of the original silicone NuBra, the padded self-adhesive bra that’s all cups and no straps, I just got the feather-light version, and I’m officially hooked. At last, all my back-baring top and dress issues have been solved! It’s 70% lighter than the original [...]
VPL “Insertion” Bra: Underneath it All
Trust me, I never thought there would come a day when I’d say, “That bra would make a great top for my wide-legged pants.” (I definitely sided with Elaine over her exhibitionist frenemy Sue Ellen Mischke, if you happen to recall the “Seinfeld” episode). But today I proclaim it, loud and proud! I should have [...]
Carine Gibson: Lingerie for Lingering
When we envision sexy lingerie, seductive black, virginal white, and vampy red are the cliché colors that come to mind. Who knew teal could knock them all out of the park? This collection of pieces by Carine Gibson makes me want to plan a romantic getaway. Or better yet, take on a lover! Just kidding, [...]
Summer-Perfect Lingerie: Fun Out of the Sun
Let’s not get too distracted by the wet ‘n’ wild fun of swimsuits! Summer’s lingerie can be just as delightful, if not more so (and way less damaging on the skin) – sometimes secrets are more satisfying than the things we wear that get flaunted regularly. Lightweight, gauzy, or just kittenishly playful, now is the [...]
