10th Commandment: February 13

Feb 13, 2012

If you don’t want to spend a fortune on new lingerie for Valentine’s Day, I have a suggestion: spend less on a garter belt and thigh highs.  They’re sexy, special and you can pair them with existing lingerie.

    Oh, hello NSFW! Belle is there any way to make the lingerie posts a click through or something?

  2. R says:

    This is an excellent suggestion.

  3. PH says:

    Also Belle, a great way to wear panty hose to work on a daily basis. 😉

    Your boyfriend will thank you for it.

    Agree with Ellie. I immediately x'ed out out of shock when i first saw this one and had to do a look around to make sure no one was in view of my screen to make a comment! yikes!

    If you get this one:

    along with these:

    you can wear it under your skirt or dress for the date. Also, size up. I wear a size 6 in J Crew and bought the LG/XL garter with C/D tights, and they fit perfectly. My guy thought so, too.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Range: Printed Shirt Dresses

If you’re preparing your wardrobe for the warmer weather, don’t sleep on shirt dresses. Casual when worn with sandals or sneaker, dressy with flats or heels, they’re great for any work situation. They’re a great piece that you can throw on any time you need to look pulled together. Here are a few choices.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
