I have been a bit MIA this week in the wake of my son’s wedding in Newport Beach, California last Saturday. And now, straight from a week-end packed with one event after another, I flew to our home in Cabo with family in tow. Focus has been a challenge, but just to prove that lingerie really is the poetry in a woman’s wardrobe, here’s a few relevant highlights (and a few not so relevant) that … Read More
There is so much happening at the Salon International de La Lingerie and today was as chock-full of information as yesterday. Had coffee with Claire Chambers from Journelle (NYC), bumped into the team from SOL Lingerie (Denver) at Empreinte and met Jenette Goldstein from Jenette Bras (California) at Simone Perele. It’s a great place to catch up. Creations Lingerie‘s photo op with a sexy Gregg Homme model was a big hit! Watch for the … Read More

I was thinking about Paris the other night; how many weddings and honeymoons happen in this city of dreams. I kept searching for images to tell the story and then, I realized that nothing says “J’Accept” like French Bridal Lingerie.

I have been thinking a great deal lately about transitions. I am forever amazed that the definition of feminine mystique changes so radically during the course of a woman’s life. I see now, so clearly, what I was incapable of imagining when I was younger. The necessity of building self-esteem and confidence in the female psyche trumps all in the pursuit of success. We need to teach women how feeling good about oneself is the … Read More

Although I did not manage to get to all the European lingerie brands, I feel strongly that without exception, they were dynamic and in many cases innovative. For certain I will be expounding on this perception at a later date, but the rich colors, delicate embroideries, airy laces and graphic designs on the bras and panties I saw at Empreinte, Prima Donna, Marie Jo, Lise Charmel, Epure, Simone Perele, Maison Lejaby, Aubade, Lou … Read More
