I think most women have a top or two in their closet that they’re just not quite comfortable wearing…
There is a time and a place for flaunting a little extra cleavage – but what do you do if you want a little extra coverage, without adding any extra bulk?  How about adding some extra color to an otherwise dull outfit?
Debbie Rubio has come up with an interesting solution – the “Perfect Cami“:

It’s kind of like a cross between a camisole and a bra.  The panel of fabric in front adds extra coverage and color to your outfit, while the straps …read more

My Etsy pick for this weekend are accessories that I don’t blog about all that often…
Lingerie!
Okay, so it’s not an accessory that gets shared with the world, unlike purses, shoes or jewelry.  But like purses, shoes and jewelry, a lovely piece of lingerie makes you feel wonderful when you wear it.
There’s nothing quite like wearing something pretty and comfortable… and that makes you feel feminine too.

I stopped by my local Target today on my way home  to pick up some necessities and accessories for my Halloween costume. As I was browsing through their hosiery section, this display of the cutest boyshorts caught my eye.  Usually I’m more of a VS girl but sometimes I’m just lured by pretty lingerie, especially pretty lingerie that’s inexpensive!
These Target Xhilaration Mesh Ruffle Boyshorts are too adorable not to pick up and they’re only $6.99 each! You can get yourself one in every colour and print. I must say, they had a bigger selection of prints, colours and patterns at …read more

I love fishnet stockings. They’re slimming, sexy, and they don’t show runs. In fact, it takes a pretty heavy duty night to put a dent in a high quality pair. I think they would be an excellent choice for under-the-gown dressing.

Maybe no one will even be able to see your stockings, besides your new groom, but isn’t he reason enough to rock these babies? And, in case you’re doing a garter toss, how fab are your legs gonna look when your beau pulls that little fripper of lace down your leg? I can hear the catcalls now. Available for $3.99 …read more

It’s charming, affordable, made to order, and of higher quality materials than anything you’re bound to find at the mall.

Be grateful for small blessings – like clean underwear!
Japanese astronaut, Koichi Wakata, recently spent and entire month in space – wearing the same pair of underwear!   He was actually helping a Japanese lab, who had designed a pair of od0r-free underwear – or “J-Wear”.  Apparently, the silver-coated underwear held up nicely – and none of his co-workers complained about them either.
Luckily, here on planet Earth, we have options… and washing machines   Especially when bras and panties are on sale – why not stock up and make sure you have some pretty, and comfortable underthings?
Victoria’s Secret has some great …read more

If there’s one campaign that really stuck with me this year, it was Gok Wan’s campaign for Simply Be.
