My first writing foray with Skin Lingerie was in 2011, when the company was just 7 years old. I visited the showroom directly following a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art where I had just seen the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibit. Within moments of reviewing the Skin collections, I saw a poetic metaphor between the McQueen genius and Skin’s creative vision. It was the … Read More
This holiday season, Skin Lingerie kicks up the heat with an encore performance of the cotton quilted jersey Sierra Robe. Going strong since its debut in 2020, it is the brand’s number one selling style. I can tell you why. It’s a joy to wear. Just listen to a fan: “it’s fabulous. So delightfully warm, cozy and yet also, very glamourous.” Intentionally oversized, the relaxed shape is proportioned for … Read More

But staring as I am at a wide-open powder blue sky blanketed with billowy white clouds, it is Skin’s easy lounge pieces that float into my lingerie conscience. … Read More

My move back to Mexico was fairly seamless. In fact, my husband and I both commented on the ease of transition between two very different lifestyles. The pros: well for one, no adjustment curve. The con: the sense of adventure seems to have dissipated. After 6 years, the process has become status quo. I miss the edge that comes with anticipation. Don’t get me wrong, every component … Read More

There are two types of beaches here in Cabo: crazy or calm. Medano, the famed seashore, is stacked with hotels, bars blasting music and hyper activity: jet skis, water taxis, massages, parasailing and hawkers selling Mexican paraphernalia. It boasts a spectacular view of the famed arches. It’s often crowded, noisy and bursting with energy. We go there a lot. It’s only a couple of miles from our … Read More
