Like many of us I’ve spent an awful lot of time watching television lately. One of my new quarantine favorites is Foyle’s War: a wartime mystery drama that features great fashion, ethical quandaries and fabulous female characters. I’ve always loved the practical and pretty fashions of the 1940’s and admired the sorts of creativity that were born from serious hardship. The episode I watched last night … Read More

I think it is particularly prescient to focus today on Skarlett Blue’s new Innocent collection. Originally planning this blog for an April publication, it was, obviously apparent to me, that delayed deliveries, closed stores, and malleable moods required a change of direction.

We were all set to post a Parfait Lingerie Spotlight this month about the new Elissa bridal bustier; but, alas, ‘the best laid plans often go awry’.

Montelle Intimates Midnight Romance and Bloom bra and panty sets are a perfect solution to a thirst for some fashion inspiration.

A few days ago, entering week 6 of quarantine in our house, my husband came into the kitchen and announced he had just dressed for the day. He was wearing his bathrobe. I was a bit perplexed, so he explained that he had just put on clean underwear. This actually inspired me to write this blog about Wacoal’s extensive panty collection. Fact is, despite our at … Read More
Searching for sun bonnets for my granddaughters last week on Etsy.com, I happened across some Shadowline® vintage lingerie produced in the 1950’s through 70’s. I can actually remember my own grandmother (and my mom) wearing nightgowns like these. Flash forward 50 years and what seemed old is new again. These images struck a chord. The interest in vintage lingerie has always been relevant to many lingerie aficionados but lately, … Read More
