Who are the designers or brands that stop you in your tracks while scrolling Instagram?
For me, it was recently Merle Noir. Or more specifically, it was the Hanako chemise (above) by the designer featured on (online boutique) Jane’s Vanity Instagram feed. It’s remarkable how exceptionally fine craftsmanship can capture your attention, even with just a fleeting chance!

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.

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. But, having chatted recently with a multitude of specialty lingerie stores, coupled with slow re-openings across the country, timing now seems more realistic. One fact that has surfaced is the … Read More
