Sassy and Sweet Holiday Treats

November 7, 2007 by Krista

The holidays are upon us. And that means it is time to start making our lists, our shopping lists that is. During my recent Bloomingdales excursion with my friend Megan, we found quite a few items that will be perfect presents for the sweet or sassy sisters or girlfriends on your lists. I know it is always a quest to find a unique gift, so hopefully these suggestions will be a start.

Looking for something sweet? Try stuffing her stocking with the Juicy Couture Striped Boy Shorts Lollipop Box. Choose from “Live for Sugar,” “Eat Cake,” or “Keep Me Sweet.” I bet sheâ€™ll prefer this to sugar plums! We also loved the Set of Three, Cupcake Couture Boy Shorts. The green, yellow, and pink trio are neatly packaged in a cupcake holder gift box and adorned with a Juicy Couture ribbon. This is the gift that keeps on giving. The baking cups that hold the sweet treats can be used to bake your favorite cupcakes long after the boughs of holly have been un-decked and the New Yearâ€™s champagne has been rinsed from your glasses. Shop early at Juicy Couture or at your local Bloomingdales.

Honeydew Fruit Mesh Boyshort Searching for something on the sassier side? I love the fun and flirty patterns of Honeydew boyshorts. At $12 a pop, they are my way of indulging Honeydew Rumba Boyshort my guilty pleasure without breaking the bank! From cute cucumbers and pretty pineapples to racy, animal prints and sexy skulls, there is something for everyone. I also love the other sassy options from Honeydew including their bralettes and thongs. For added pizzazz , try the rumba short! In an animal print, it isn’t for the tame! Find them at the Honeydew website or, of course, Bloomingdales.

For the best of both worlds, try the Graffiti Pink website. Not only do they carry a number of popular brands such as Hanky Panky, Wendy Glez, and Malicious, but they also have a number of their own items including the very sassy handprint boyshort and the “My Panties are Better than Yours” tank (which I hope ends up under my tree!).If you find anything else gift-worthy, be sure to let us know in our forums. Weâ€™d love to hear all about it!

Lingerie Americas – Fashion Forward

October 16, 2007 by Krista

This is my last of the Lingerie Americas series. Now, we’ll start seeing these exciting findings in the stores! Here’s the latest for those of you who like their lingerie flirty, fun, and high fashion. I am definitely a fan of Carol Malony. Beautifully feminine and fashionable, I adore the “Haute” collection. Such unique color choices and combinations make every piece absolutely stunning. For instance, my favorite, “Barely There,” features delicate tulle and lace, but with a pop of bling! Small stones adorn each piece. The straps and string of the thong provide an unexpected splash of color, in a vibrant salmon. A similar splash of color is featured in the elegant, “Hope Chest” collection. A cool ice blue stretch chiffon wtih sheer, ivory embroidery is accented with a punch of lime.

Collections feature bras, thongs, garters, corsets, and babydolls among other sexy little numbers. Look for these in the stores just in time for spring! In the meantime, check out the current Carol Malony pieces at Graffiti Pink and Gigi’s Closet online. Also, check Saks, Bloomingdales, and Neiman Marcus.

Something Sassy, Something Sweet…Part II

June 24, 2007 by Krista

Our next bride-to-be is the sultry, sassy, Soon-to-be Mrs. She loves the traditional, but with a spicy spin. Her wardrobe is filled with intriguing little numbers guaranteed to keep the sparks flying long after the honeymoon. Gigiâ€™s Closet is a great source for everyday basics as well as a fun and lively pieces (and they have great customer service!). One of my favorites is this red-hot set by Spoylt! Some lucky gentlemanâ€™s heart will be racing for sure! Appropriately called â€œPassion,â€ vixens of all ages will be stunning in this red demi cup bra and matching thong complete with just enough ruffle to ruffle his feathers. At just over $200, this set is a little pricey, but hey, sheâ€™s worth it!

Out of your price range? Try the Eberjey Annalise chemise. Currently on sale at Figleaves for $55, light, mint and pink semisheer chemise will focus on all of her best assets. He will be left mesmerized as this piece hugs every curve. I love the simplicity of the cut with the ruffled bottom adding that something special.

I absolutely adore this cami and bikini set by Undrest! Made of the finest supima cotton this strapless cami (complete with ruffles and a satin ribbon detail) is constructed with a built in shelf bra for support. This set is available in mint with creme trim, crÃ¨me with mint trim, and peach with mocha trim â€“ flattering for a variety of skin tones. Casual, but sexy, the bride to be will be sure to grab her manâ€™s attention in the thoughtfully designed Brazilian panty. Find this (and a fabulous treat for yourself) at Faire Frou Frou.

Keep things spicy with this set by Carol Malony available at Graffiti Pink. Made of soft, sensual eyelash lace this peek-a-boo bra and skirted thong makes a bold statement with the hot pink silk-satin trim. This set shows some skin, but leaves just enough to the imagination!

Being sassy is all about edge as seen in the Jezebel â€œRuffles Galoreâ€ Bustier. The boning gives shape, structure, and support while the ruffles and bows give it pizzazz! Any bride to be can feel confident in this. Think runway show in the bedroomâ€¦Donâ€™t forget the matching thong or boyshort. You can find this little number in precious pink, racy “Vampire” red, or bold “Icelandic” blue at Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie or Bare Necessities.

Not quite right? The series continues with more ideas suitable for your Bare it All Bachelorette!
