If you are reading this, then I have arrived at my home in Cabo San Lucas. I hope you will all forgive me for my lack of new product reveal today; but having been en route all day Monday, beginning with a 4 AM wakeup call, plus the added diversions last week of travel preparation, unforeseen babysitting duty and the unexpected crash of the Lingerie Briefs website, focus on writing was a challenge. Although I … 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.
