Fleur’t & Fleur’t with Me
This weekend I will be crossing the perennial bridge between New York and my home in Cabo. The experience is always the same, no matter in which direction I am traveling. Ensconced in my routine here in the northeast, I feel removed from my Mexican lifestyle. And even though it will be nice to escape the winter weather, it also means missing work events and leaving my kids. Shifting back … Read More
Last week, at the NYC Interfiliere, there was a great deal of continued talk about the Athleisure trend. It’s amazing how this apparel phenomenon has been integrated into the Intimate Apparel industry, crossing back and forth with ready-to-wear, often seamlessly. For lingerie retailers, the crossover requires thoughtful merchandising. The surge in bralette business, particularly as a layering piece, has helped to change the consumer’s orientation when purchasing leisure wear. The challenge for Intimates buyers is … Read More
My daughter Kate recently introduced me to the art of Tara Donovan.

I can lie in bed and see them … Read More
This has been a bi-coastal week for me: New York to Miami to Los Angeles and home again today. Staying with friends along the way has its advantages, but complete privacy is not one of them. Sharing space requires a modicum of modesty as well as some level of luxurious escape. I never travel without certain items that would otherwise leave me feeling lost: my perfume, my kindle and my Fleur’t “Take Me Away” lounging … Read More
This has been a very trying day. Shirley, my partner in all things Lingerie Briefs, and I spent a good part of our daily phone meeting having a whine fest. It’s the winter that won’t go away; it was 5° in New Hampshire this morning. Tax season looms. Oh yes and bathing suit body prep (though one would be hard pressed to know) is around the corner. Let’s not even mention being housebound by the … Read More
