Each piece is made by hand including silk dying and intricate embroidery. The silk is deliciously soft and floats as you wear it – making for the ultimate in luxurious loungewear. The kimonos are designed to be versatile and can also be layered over jeans if you need to pop out to the shops. They’re beautiful not only as loungewear, but also hung on the back of a door or draped over an antique screen.

Unlike most robes on the market, Daddy’s Favorite features an attached, rather than separate, belt.  For those ladies that like to cook in their robes, the sleeves are long enough to provide coverage from any possible splashes, but not so long that they droop into your meal.  Daddy’s Favorite robes offer something for everyone.  Most styles are available in long or short and fabrics include velour, cotton voile, and a rayon/poly blend.

Daddy’s Favorite wraps are a great alternative to wearing a towel after your bath and shower.  No longer do you have to readjust your towel around you so it doesn’t fall off while you are styling your hair.  Features of the wrap include an adjustable drawsting back and a soft Velcro closure positioned to eliminate the usual issues found with traditional Velcro.

Both robes and wraps not only make great holiday gifts, but also great gifts for the bride-to-be or her attendants.  The velour is perfect for monogramming!

Robes and wraps are priced at $65-$150 and are available at boutiques throughout the U.S.

Kristina of Gigis Closet just let us know that they’ve just added Lilly Pulitzer Sleepwear to their online boutique. She said: “This is the first season of Lilly Pulitzer Sleepwear. When we heard she had a new line for intimates, we had to bring it into the boutique. Lilly Pulitzer’s designs are a big part of many people’s wardrobe. We hope you enjoy incorporating it into your intimate wardrobe too”. We obviously rushed to their site and checked out the pieces, and liked them a lot!

A quick rundown of the pieces — from left to right: Hidden Garden Bathwrap, Loop Terry Spa Wrap Robe & Clipped Dot Babydoll Chemise.

I love the last one — but it looks like the Lilly Pulitzer line is versatile enough to please a lot of different tastes. Shopping at Gigis Closet!

Of course, I know that some lucky people are planning a winter vacation away, and many of you in other parts of the world are in the middle of summer! La Perla knows this, too! They have just come out with their Fall/Winter 07/08 La Perla Resort collection.

According to La Perla, this new swimwear collection was inspired by “a fantastic era populated by pirates and noblewomen, constellated with the shining gold of imaginary treasure.” Colors like dove grey, pink, and black are paired with a lot of gold embellishments to produce “a striking, spectacular outfit” and “sophisticated style….with a modern feel.” So, how do they do it? With touches such as gold braiding, tailcoat-style embroidery, metal sequins, pirate stripes, and accessories like an 18K wraparound skirt! In true La Perla form, these pieces aren’t cheap. Expect to spend upwards of $600. But this just may be worth it if you are going on a fabulous resort vacation!

And so it is true with the newest fashion accessory, the Bosom Button. Designed by a woman who was tired of trying to hide a safety pin to keep her wrap dress closed. She had a brilliant ‘light bulb’ moment…why not create a pin that can be worn on the outside and be fashionable?

These new little ‘must haves’ are high quality. Made with Swarovski crystals, or other fine gemstones, the Bosom Button is quick to use, wonderfully fashionable and very functional. Who would think that one little pin could do so much?

  • Bosom Button packaging and examplesUse on low cut tops to prevent that ‘peep show’
  • Keep a wrap top from becoming unwrapped
  • Secure a sari to the shoulder
  • Keep a sarong snuggly around the hips
  • Help a heaving pregnant bosom stay in place
  • Secure a shawl around the shoulders
  • Decorate any piece of apparel

First of all, though, the Bosom Button is a functional women’s accessory designed to minimize cleavage on low cut tops — a more chique alternative to double sided fashion tape. Off course, more info and info on where to get your own Bosom Buttons is on bosombutton.com!

Not cheap, but very pretty and feminine, as always. I love the roses-printed silk padded bra, trimmed with peach satin and cream lace. I can see this working extremely well with the matching Brazilian briefs and suspender. If you’ve got an extra £160 in the bank make sure you also check out the stunning silk short wrap — absolutely gorgeous. One photo here, many more on the P&S website!
