Lise Charmel’s Coralle Fauve collection is all about juxtaposition. First and foremost is the animal and floral pattern printed on tulle and silk that anchors the design. But it is the unique integration of an exclusive 6 color multithread embroidery and leavers lace that elevates the workmanship to a dramatic statement of beauty. Five Bra styles 32-44, A-F can interchange with Six separate panty shapes, XS-XXL. Lounge pieces are … Read More
Nothing feels quite as sensual as cotton against the skin, except perhaps silk. That’s why Janira’s Dolci Cotton Collection is such a game changer for women worldwide. These panty and camisole styles are renowned for their “silk touch”.
Boasting an advanced anti-pilling cotton fabric and the absence of any elastic at the waistline, these panties will not roll or mark the skin. It’s the luxury of feeling nothing at … Read More

The second was at home, … Read More

Writing this post about the A/W18 Wilderness collection from Fleur of England seems incredibly timely, considering I just returned from a vacation in New England to experience Fall foliage (being a California native, it’s just not something we experience).
