Dressing up a la Marie Antoinette

2011-04-13T23:16:00.000-07:00

She got a bad rap in the end, but she certainly knew how to dress!

Felina's gorgeous Marielle garter skirt features tiers of ruffles across the derriere. In elegant ivory with champagne lace trim, this is a set fit for a queen. Eberjey's stretch lace chemise is perfect for a bride.

The dramatic highlight of Arianne's pink chemise is the unique lace t-back - come to the shop and check it out! There's another skirt to show off in Felina's Germaine collection, which also includes a pretty demi cup bra (with a really good fit!) as well as wearable thongs and boyshorts.

Lighter and Brighter - Trends for Spring - March Window Displays

2011-03-23T22:27:00.000-07:00

It's Spring! And we're ready for brighter colors and longer days. Claire Pettbone's soft printed mesh gown is delightful - both very bright and very elegant. Jezebel has recolored the "seduction" collection in a fresh aqua. This set includes a push-up bra and lace boy short.The boy short is a nice option for the "something blue" if you know of someone getting married this year. Another pretty bridal set is Felina's "germaine" bra and panty in ivory, and there's also an adorable coordinating skirt.

Passionata's done a really elegant ivory and beige babydoll set with a halter tie back top. The "icone" demi cup and shorty by Chantelle is such a light, pretty sheer embroidered mesh in turquoise and buttercup - it reminds us of a mermaid!

Lucky Bets - February Window Displays

2011-02-20T23:33:00.000-08:00

Viva Las Vegas! Go for a winning style in a new Shirley of Hollywood corset. These satin beauties feature boning, elegant accents and lace up backs. Complete the look with high heels, stretch satin gloves and a "come-hither" attitude.

Oh la la! This new demi push-up and matching thong by b.tempt'd is very fashionable with a French flair. A great option for Valentine's Day, classic red is accented by a deep blue in Elle Macpherson's "cupcake" collection.

In the Pink - January Window Displays

2011-01-19T22:15:00.000-08:00

Betsey Johnson and P.J. Salvage add a splash of brightness to these dark and dreary January days with cute pajamas. Who wouldn't feel cheerful in a super soft, ruffled, candy-colored chemise, or a bright rose printed camisole and short set? Or, consider Felina's new push-up t-shirt bra in a soft pink with pretty lace accents.

For a little more drama, check out Jezebel's pleated-tulle trimmed camidoll with a matching shorty. A flattering hue adds another reason to try Betsey Johnson's "rebel rose" bra and thong styles. Bring some color to your bath with fresh, limited-edition "pink champagne" scented soap by Mistral.

Festive Looks - December Window Displays

2010-12-12T18:20:00.000-08:00

Imagine a cozy room with a roaring fire - we think a silk chemise or gown by Mary Green would be the most elegant accompaniment. You can show off shoulders in the burgundy print rayon and silk long gown, or highlight great legs in the gold-toned lace trimmed silk chemise. Pop open some sparkling wine, and have the "angel" embroidered sleep mask ready for the morning.

On another night, go for a racy black and red look with Jezebel's ruffled babydoll. Passionata's "jolie parisienne" looks so elegant in black. For an evening look, try a sparkle bustier over a pencil skirt or black pants, and top it off with long satin gloves.

Artist's Muse - November Window Displays

2010-11-18T21:49:00.000-08:00

We're dreaming of the bohemian lifestyle on the Left Bank in Paris for this month's windows. The hot red of Huit's "cupcake" collection echos the fiery colors of the last of the leaves. Mary Green's lace-trimmed robe in deep turquoise would be perfect to throw on for a moment of repose. The French theme continues with Chantelle's "chantilly sexy" set featuring the low cut demi cupbra and matching tanga thong.

Neutrals highlight exquisite fabrics and details, such as Blush's "dark whisper" short chemise and matching thong in a gold-toned nude lace. Jezebel's retro babydoll features lace insets and contrast stitching.

October Window Displays

2010-10-26T20:43:00.000-07:00

We celebrate our sixth anniversary this month! One designer who's always festive and fun is Betsey Johnson, and this bra and thong set in black floral with burgundy trim seems perfect for this season. Mary Green's rich red silk knit chemise echos some of the bright leaves changing around town, and Arianne's velvet camisoles hint at a party flair.

Cosabella goes for drama with a sheer, velvet-flocked soft bra and thong set, as well as their very popular "Never Say Never" collection in black with red ribbon accents. Add some shine to your Halloween costume with long stretch satin gloves or sequined booty shorts.

September Window Displays

2010-09-29T20:12:00.000-07:00

It seemed like a short summer, but we're thrilled by the new Fall collections, so bring it on, Autumn!

Blush offers some hot little numbers this season, including a deep aubergine stretch satin camisole, trimmed in black lace. They make great bustiers, too, and we have an outstanding set in deep rose and black, as well as an elegant black on black.

Cosabella Amore highlights a deep purple bra and thong set with chocolate ribbon accents.

If you're looking for an elegant chemise, consider the OnGossamer slip in nude; it has a wonderful vintage character. Add the matching panties, and you're set for a day-into-night look.

Finally, a great slip with a little enhancement in the bust! Check out the padded bra top on Blush's great black lace chemise.

August Window Displays

2010-08-16T17:35:00.000-07:00

It's August and we've been feeling hot! Who wouldn't in Aubade's demi cup and thong set? Black accents on the boning of this Escante corset also sets a sultry mood. When it cools down, try this Wendy Glez waterfall front, super-soft modal robe.

Black and ivory are anything but basic, when envisioned by Cosabella. This sheer, tiered babydoll reveals a little skin and a lot of Italian flair. Also by Cosabella, their wildly popular Never Say Never collection has arrived in ivory. This collection includes a light support bralette, thongs, hotpants and a new babydoll style.

Sweetie - Our May Windows

2010-05-17T19:50:00.000-07:00

Here are pictures of our "Sweetie" themed window displays this month. I remember once watching a couple looking at our windows, and her comment to him, "I didn't even hear what you were saying. I was too busy looking at the cute underwear." Does that happen to you?

April Window Displays

2010-05-01T12:41:00.000-07:00

For April's windows, we imagined a bride, wearing Jezebel's push-up bustier under her gown, then changing to Hanky Panky's soft lace and modal chemise for the wedding night. She then jets off with her beloved to an exotic locale, where the steamy climate is perfect for a bright anise green and lavender bra and panty set by Simone Perele, or a hot pink chemise by Arianne.
