Friday Frocks: Chemise-try 101

By |August 8th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

lingerie clothesline bridal showerI remember slumber parties.  I don’t remember pillow fights in my panties though.  I think that cliché is some sort of sleazy scenario concocted by pervy males, when in reality, most slumber parties I attended involved Cosmo quizzes, Dr. Pepper, and pizza.  I guess nearly nude party games do sound a bit saucier.  At our age, most of the sleepovers we now attend are a bit more exclusive- like party of two and maybe a lucky dog at the foot of the bed.  While we probably should keep playing games of truth or dare until we die, we don’t necessarily need to continue donning oversized t-shirts and Soffe shorts of platonic slumber parties of years past.  One way to ensure the fire doesn’t dwindle after hours is to dress for bed like you’re dressing for your first date.  Not literally, of course, because you wouldn’t necessarily wear something see through to dinner at Le Cirque and a bodycon dress for bed might be too binding- but maybe you’re into that.  Swap your boxers for something silky, skip the pillow fights, and get right to the pillow talk.

Why Did You Wear That: Erin Go Bra

By |March 17th, 2011|Why Did You Wear That?|

Roberto Cavalli Feather Print Jersey Push Up Bra, $240

As much as I love a good theme party, I despise themed clothing on holidays.  Sorry, I just do.  I especially despise it after the age of twelve.  Needless to say I’m not wearing green today.  Pinch me. I dare you. Anyway, I’m not a complete curmudgeon.  So, in celebration of the Irish (they’re great people afterall: potatoes, Guinness, folklore), there’s a little Irish phrase, “erin go bragh” that essentially translates into “Ireland Forever.”  I’ve gone ahead and translated it into brassieres and done a little erin go bra-ing of my own.  Because if there is one thing I do love, it’s lingerie.  This is about as festive as I’ll get.  Take what you can get, lasses.

 

1. La Perla Feuillage Tulle Triangle Bra, $590, 2. Eberjey Delirious Triangle Bra, $36, 3. Free People Scandalous Bandeau, $28, 4. Fleur of England Tease Front Tie Boudoir Bra, $94.80, 5. Chantelle Romance Demi Bra, $108, 6. Myla Push Up Bra, $128, 7. Princesse Tam Tam Mademoiselle Underwire Bra, $70, 8. Eberjey Fireworks Bralette, $41
