While we're on the subject of lingerie, can I please share one of my all-time favorite beauties with you?

Helena Christensen, you are delicious.

This bodysuit by Helena Christensen for Triumph (directly below) will be available soon. Along with other pieces in her stunning collection. The danish fashion model, who forever changed video with Chris Isaac in Wicked Game, continues to bring innocently sexy to you.

If Helena doesn't make you want to buy beautiful lingerie, nothing will. And February's the month to do it, so go already!

Delicate. Feminine. Beautiful.

I am crushing on this Mimi Holliday by Damaris Bisou Bisou Cherie lace lingerie set, just in time for Valentine's Day. It's just so pretty. 

I envision wearing this under a pencil skirt and blouse. Or, jeans and a tee. Or, under a fur coat with nothing else in between. 

There's something to be said for wearing frilly extra specials under ordinary clothes. They don't have to be seen to capture attention. And they don't have to be for anyone but yourself. Of course, if your significant other happens to catch a glimpse, the better.

Available at Net-a-Porter

I am not one to shop the day after Christmas. Especially the mall. However, when hubby and sister come a calling, I step up to help.

After spending the entire day at the mall yesterday personal shopping for my husband and one of my sisters, I am proud of our productivity — crowds, and all. We crossed everything off both lists! 

Though nothing was on my list, my eyes did a double take when I came across these Natori mesh panties in the lingerie department with my sister. I couldn't resist 3 for $45! They're just so pretty and feminine. There are several versions of the Bliss panty, so if cotton or lace are more up your alley, Nordstrom's got them.

Starting the new year off with a little something sexy under my clothes just makes me smile.

One intimate apparel brand that I continue to check up on, but have yet to experience, is Huit. Avant-garde by nature, they offer a solid collection of essentials (not just pretty little numbers to look at).

No newcomer to the scene, Huit has been designing intimate apparel and swimwear for over 40 years, keeping to a 'beautifully simple' philosophy (Parisian genius). I can't help but love the way they present themselves — in a don't-take-me-too-seriously way. And who doesn't want a pair of those sheer colored thigh-highs now? Too fun!


Having just discovered Huit's line of swimwear, I must say it's very well done. Just wish I had the tushie to flaunt this one!
