Here we are on the cusp of 2019, the week between Christmas and New Year’s when even if it’s not your personal holiday, half the world’s population is at bay. Food, family and frustration hold court between two global celebrations interrupting life’s daily flow. It’s a love-hate affair for many of us and still we persevere, year after year.

I could go into a diatribe about the way this brand uses trendy design detail to create pajama and robe collections worthy of casual street wear. I could focus on the amazing fabrics for which they are renowned. I could … Read More
I think that the Chantelle soft stretch collection might just be a substantial contender for first place in my ongoing quest to find a panty that I personally love and can actually wear anywhere.
