Two for Tuesday: The Lingerie Edition

What can I say?  I'm a sucker for pretty lingerie.  More often than not, my bra costs way more than the shirt I'm wearing over it.  You just can't beat well-fitting lingerie that makes you feel pretty, and dare I say it?  Pretty darn sexy.  In my humble opinion, you just can't put a price tag on that.  You can have the nicest wardrobe in the world, but no one will care if your boobs are sagging and you're picking your wedgie all day.  Can I get an amen?

Here are two phenomenal pieces that I've picked up recently:

1.  Mimi Holliday via Journelle

Bisou Bisou Azure Padded Shoulder Bra
$92.00
Gorgeous peacock blue silk is overlaid with stunning eyelash lace.   

This baby fits like a dream and she's stunna ;)

Totally got panties to match and am still contemplating the garter belt.  This set is just so, so pretty.

2.  Fortnight via Devil May Care Lingerie

Mira Slip
$165
This lace paneled slip hugs your curves in all the right places.
I put it on and instantly felt like a goddess.
It may or may not have magical powers.

Do you have a favorite unmentionable?  Feel free to mention it below.  We're all friends here.

PS-  If you take only one piece of fashion advice from me, let it be this:  go get yourself fitted at a LINGERIE BOUTIQUE and actually purchase a bra in the size they recommend.  It may cost close to $100 - buy it anyway.  I don't care if you have to eat ramen noodles for the rest of the month.  Buy the damn bra.  It. Will. Change. Your. Life.

PS- Leaving today for NYC - Lucky FABB here I come!  Let's just say I didn't under pack - by the size of my suitcase you'd think I was spending a month in Europe, not three days in New York... oops!

 

Made in America Monday ~ Sharing the Love

If you know me, you know there are two things things I love to do:  buy American and shop local.  When these two worlds come together, it pretty much rocks my world.   Last month, Devil May Care Lingerie Co (the best little lingerie boutique on the planet) hosted Kouture's pop-up boutique.  For those of you who don't know, Kouture is an online shop founded in 2012 by Rochester's own Kiley Miltsch who is all of 21 years old and well on her way to building her own empire.  This girl is one to watch.  I love her in-your-face sense of style: from her pink hair to her ENORMOUS platforms, she just exudes coolness.  I was NEVER that cool.  Ha!  But, even more than her "look" I love that she isn't afraid to get out there an run her business the way she wants - I also love that she stocks her store with some great "Made in the USA" brands like Wildfox Couture and Paige Denim.

Enjoying the Kouture popup boutique at Devil May Care in March.
Trying on a Wildfox sweatshirt and Paige Denim jeans.
(I ended up buying both)

Lounging in my new favorite sweatshirt.
(Don't worry I didn't leave the house like this - although I probably could have if I ditched the Easter egg socks...)

Rocking my new Paige Denim Hoxton Skinnies

 Not only did I discover two great American-made brands that are high quality and uber-comfortable, but I was able to purchase them through a locally owned online boutique owner.  Love that!  And love that I am able to share it all with you!

I'm totally buying this.

Oh and did I mention she has FREE worldwide shipping.  Yeah.  She does.

You're Welcome.

Happy Monday!
