We are in a swim mode today at Lingerie Briefs (check out our Curvy Briefs blog: Swimwear Daydreams). Writer, Lindsey, an LA native might not be aware of the chilly autumn days we are having in the Northeast. I, on the other hand, am more likely inspired by the fact that I depart in one week for my home in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and my partner Shirley heads to the Bahamas. … Read More
A few weeks ago I met my brother on a rainy Sunday in New Haven for a lunch meeting that went awry. We decided to make the best of it by visiting the Yale University Art Museum. I knew we would find an aesthetic gem somewhere inside. And there is was: the Murals of Bonampak, in replica, on the gallery’s walls. This Mayan artwork, discovered in 1946 in a remote temple in Chiapas, Mexico, is … Read More

Visiting the Hanky Panky showroom in NYC today, I walked into a carnival of color; not surprising for this playful and provocative brand.

Well, what goes around comes around and I am really pleased to see this commodity product has re-surfaced and been elevated to a luxury item, compliments of the premium Louis At Home tri-colored robe collection. Exquisitely tailored in lush cosmetic colors, these brushed back moiré … Read More
Lately I have been spending time visiting a friend on the upper west side of Manhattan. Her apartment is located just around the block from the sophisticated luxury chocolate shop, Jacque Torres. I always stop in for a latte and to feast my fantasies on the rich selection of artful confections offered there. I haven’t splurged yet, out of respect for Jenny Craig, but let’s face it, intent and reality often collide; I am not … Read More
As one might know by now, I am always ferreting trends, not because I am searching for fashion highs, but rather I can’t halt the merchant instinct that drives me. When an idea continues to re-surface, I take note. One direction gaining real momentum in the Lingerie world is soft bras. Thus, my interest in the Clo Intimo line. First and foremost, I have watched this company grow exponentially over the past 10 years under … Read More
