Fawning Over Underthings

Happy Valentine’s Week!

Usually this is the post I reserve for this time of year to talk all about skivvies. A favorite topic of mine. On this fine Tuesday, I’m talking about three pieces you should have in your lingerie collection.

1. A perfect well fitting bodysuit in a neutral color that goes with everything.

   For me, it’s a black one. I have a ton. Wearing them under a blazer if my favorite look but you can also wear it with a blouse or just under a cozy cropped sweatshirt.

2. The perfect set. Matching bra and undies.

For me, few things make me feel like I have my act together than this. The foundation of a good outfit. Even if you’re the only one who sees it.

3. Shape wear!

Ok we don’t need a photo of this one. It’s is not so sexy however it makes so much of a difference! Invest in it. Wear it. A smooth look will always look better no matter what your size. I love my shape wear slips for dresses.

Now go out there and seize the day!

Even if it’s a Tuesday (I’m not a fan of them)…

All About Underthings

Fast Fash is heating up this week! Every year for the week of Valentine’s Day I chat about lingerie. I deeply love lingerie and have quite the collection. One of my tips is to always play with color. Don’t get me wrong most of my lingerie is black and all of my high end pieces are black just because that’s my preference. However, I always say buy lots of different colors! These are ten colors in the Pantone Spring Color Palette.

1. Biscay Green

2. Classic Blue

3. Chive

4. Cinnamon Stick

5. Flame Scarlet

6. Coral Pink

7. Faded Denim

8. Grape Compote

9. Orange Peel

10. Sunlight

Just for the heck of it here are a couple things that I bet you didn’t know.

Fun Facts:

Italian woman wear red underwear on New Year’s Eve for good luck.

The cup system was invented in the 30’s

Women wore girdles everyday from the 20’s to the 60’s. I’m sad that stopped.

The average cup size in the US is a 36C

One of my current favorite trends is the bodysuit! It’s a chic way to make your outfit a little more interesting. This is one of my go to looks!

Do you have Valentine’s Day plans? We have a tradition of staying in with a charcuterie board, vino, and relaxing. However we need a night out so we’ll see where the week takes us.

Anyway, I hope you have on some fun skivvies to kick of Vday week!

Gorgeous Greenery

By now I'm sure that most of you have heard Pantone's the color of 2017 is "Greenery". I normally do a post about this yearly announcement but this year I'm just as thrilled as when it was Emerald in 2013. Green is my most favorite color! Even "Kale" made it's way into the 2017 Spring color palette! Which I decided to rock with a little added sparkle!  

I think it's so funny and very hipster to throw kale into spring's colors but I love it!  

I do adore a great color combo and also tend to pair on opposite sides of the color wheel. Burnt Orange and Kale are a match made in heaven. Add a little leopard and you've got a great outfit. 

I don't know about you but I for one am very excited to welcome a new year and new fashion possibilites. Here is Pantone's Spring 2017 color palette.

Who's ready to start shopping?

I've got a lot of fun things in store for you this week. Look for delicious recipes, and a very sparkly DIY on Friday's Martini Moment.

Have a great week leading up to Christmas! I hope your coffee is strong and your shopping is done!
