A few months ago, Becky and I were brainstorming ideas for a bridal lingerie photo editorial. We were searching for an angle that defied the norm. Bingo! The Winter Bride! Why not focus on the empowerment of wizened women. Women that defy the mythology of aging.

Christian Dior once said: “Midnight Blue is the Only Color That Can Compete with Black.” And from my own personal point of view, I agree. Born into the New York fashion culture of black attire, dark navy has seeped into my everyday wardrobe over the past decade.

Diana Vreeland once said, “I never met a leopard print I didn’t like.” Respected for her style insights, she was considered a fashion doyenne and on target with trends.

Evelyn & Bobbie, my best bra friend particularly through the pandemic, has done it again. With the launch of Evelyn, the 3rd and newest iteration of their revolutionary bralette construction, they have hit another retail bullseye. Of course, I have tried it. I am a huge fan of the Defy and Beyond styles.
All of Evelyn & Bobbie’s bras are created with a FULLY Patented EB Core™ design, a leading … Read More

I am not sure what excites me most about Hanro’s Laura gown, this brilliant yellow or the easy lounge shape, both of which defy old school sleepwear rules. Personally, I laud both the color and the comfort factor. I already know that the cotton modal fabric will be incomparable in softness and unique in its construction. Like everything Hanro creates, it will be an investment in premium quality insuring longevity … Read More
