Last fall I was introduced to the Ivette brand, a family owned bridal business created over 50 years ago as homage to owner Jacinto Parera’s wife Isabel.  Designed in their Barcelona atelier with the finest European laces and produced by local artisans, Ivette is recognized by boutiques throughout the world for its comprehensive and exquisite collection of bridal lingerie. Capitalizing on the Spanish wedding heritage infused with a Mediterranean aura, … Read More


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 … Read More

Weddings are on my mind. My son is being married in two weeks and here I am, mother of the groom, completely ensconced in wedding speak and I am not even responsible for the actual wedding day. Still, the decisions are never-ending: clothes, air travel, hotels and of course the rehearsal dinner. And even though I am an observer when it comes to the actual event, I have been updated … Read More

It’s not just about the lace, or the ribbons, beading, buttons and more  that change a simple garment into a work of art. It’s the details in every aspect of the production that pulsate with femininity, no matter the style. When it comes to a wedding, perfectly liberal minded women find … Read More


The Giving Bride

A few months ago,, during Lingerie Fashion week, I had the good fortune of meeting Maggie Gillette, the creative entrepreneur behind the nascent bridal brand, The Giving Bride. What enticed me about Maggie’s work was not only the delicate platinum lace that details the Ashley collection (some of the photos highlighted here) but also her mission: to donate part of the proceeds to women’s shelters. All of these designs … Read More


French-vintage-chic-lace-wedding-ceremony

When my sister in law was married in Paris a few years ago, albeit a very intimate party, there was something somewhat “Je ne sais quoi” about the whole affair.  It’s that French chic that permeates most everything one sees in this elegant city.  No lingerie design house possesses this style more then the venerable Cadolle. Every detail; stitch, ribbon, fagoting, embroidery, fabric, boning and lace reminds me who … Read More
