Valentine's Day

Which do you prefer and there's no limit to how many you can pick:

A structured, underwired chemise a la Arianne, Elomi or Parfait? 





Or a comfy luxe style like Fluer't? 
Fluer't Long Gown
Hanky Panky Retro

The classic Hanky Panky? 

Or are you the type of girl who prefers to walk around comfortably in her pjs, knowing underneath it all she is in a sexy thong or a gorgeous matching set?

No matter your preference, we are available seven days a week to help you find precisely the type of lingerie that sets your soul on fire.






To complete the evening, try a Kama Sutra Massage Candle - burn it to fill the room with the creamy scent of coconut complimented with sweet notes of pineapple and after 20 minutes or so you are rewarded with enough warm massage oil to romantically relax and pamper your lover. Or simply use the Moisture-Rich Massage Lotion for instant gratification.



Beyond the lascivious, Valentine's Day is about love. For the more platonic giftee, consider a luxurious 100% Silk Eye Mask. Perfect for migraine sufferers, or anyone who deserves to shut the world out and relax. Complete the set with an Eye Pillow, scented with lavender and heavy with flaxseed, this product is a favorite as well as made in America. For the most loved one, the Hot/Cold pack is a glorious option - heat to relax muscles, ice for relief and all bundled into a long, beautiful 100% Silk case.


Come see us soon - Valentine's Day is right around the corner.

I'm Barefoot Dreaming of a White Christmas ..

The top request for Christmas started in September - "Do you have flannel pajamas?" And the answer is YES! This year we have selected the most premium fabrics and cutest styles for your gifts (and yourself!)

It's so funny how the gifts we treasure change as we grow up - everyone loves to receive fuzzy socks and pajamas as we become adults!

The very best gift makes you look AND feel good. When we brought in the Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Wrap we knew we had a winner. This robe replacement also doubles as a sleek and elegant cardigan.

Our favorite local stylist blogs: "You have to see and feel the amazing material it is made out of to get the gist of it;  so soft and warm without being bulky.  It can be worn around the house in lieu of a blanket or robe,  or you can wear it out with skinny jeans or leggings and boots."

Paired with Lysse Leggings and an Arriane Camisole you are stylish as well as comfortable. Wrap it around Haralee Wicking Pajamas and the coziness lasts all winter long. And let us box & bow one up for a special woman in your life to banish gift-giving stress!


Check your list twice, then come see us!

Layering Season

As the days get a little cooler and we look ahead to staying stylish while keeping warm, the art of layering begins..

Our most popular layering piece is a little longer than the usual camisole which makes it perfect for either tucking into pants or pulling over leggings for a tunic foundation. The SNUG cami is designed with sheer modern tops in mind - it has wide straps, a scoop neck and a smoothing back to completely hide your bra. This one-size item takes care of any muffin top while providing either a pop of fun color or discreet neutral to your outfit. Many women wear them for sleepwear as well as to gym!

Coobie Cami Halter Style
For even more comfort and customization, our Coobie lovers will be delighted with the Coobie cami! This is a lovely seamless wirefree bra built into a smoothing camisole. Wear without a bra for lightweight modest support to 36D or take out the thin shaping pads to wear with your own bra. Another one-size wardrobe saver available black, white, nude and pomegranate.

The next step up from the Coobie cami comes from elegant designer Arianne. This is another bra-replacement item that comes with soft modesty pads and a fitted bust. The silky material and A-line cut layers beautifully under clothes, with a touch of lace at the V-neck. Available in either Black or Nude.

Lysse Top
Beyond our typical ultra-comfortable shaping camisole by Shapeez, the sensational Lysse has not only done it again this year with tummy-smoothing leggings but also a revolutionary layering design they call Back Beautiful. This tunic-length raisin-colored top has a compression tank built into the garment. Wear your favorite bra and rock the sleek look effortlessly.
Back Beautiful

However, if you are looking simply for a moisture-wicking compression tank for either active pursuits or just everyday, Moving Comfort offers a basic, athletically styled black tank. Other recent arrivals include Cuddldud's cotton/nylon camisole - with a lace V-neck this black or white tank is a staple in any winter wardrobe.

If you need more warmth than a camisole can offer, Cuddlduds also includes a long sleeve crew neck as well as leggings in their collection. Easy to care for, moisture-managing warmth on those cold days ahead! And don't forget to check out this year's SnowAngel, you will forget that these layering pieces are techwear because they are so cute in such flattering styles and colors. Certainly a case of great fashion meeting necessary function.

And finally, I present you with my personal pick for the holiday season - the Wacoal B-Smooth BodySuit. This tummy-controlling one piece combines a low back with wire free support. Makes all your formal outfits infinitely more wearable, and the comfort is second to none.


Before you start shivering, come see me soon!

Halloween Costume Accessories!

"The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears."
Happy Halloween! Even if you aren't out trick or treating this year, there are always excuses to dress up - including a lovely event in Boxborough on November 1st. Read more about the Moulin-Rouge-themed Masquerade Ball here.


For a sheer or skintight costume, shapewear can make an exceptional costume wearable and comfortable! For instance, we usually have a run on Curves the week leading up to the 31st - a figure flattering body-stocking style shaper improves a myriad of silhouettes.

Pirate wench, Renaissance lady or Frankenstein's Bride? For anything off the shoulder or just straight up strapless, a fitted and secure foundation makes the rest of the costume look stunning.

And for the final perfect touch - sheer fishnet stockings or sexy hose with an attached garter? Lightly textured tights or plain black leggings? The favorite so far this year has been the backseam hose - so retro!




Assess your Halloween needs and I'll see you soon!

Stylin' Shapewear

Autumn is such a wonderful season; the end of humidity and an excuse for new boots! The best fall staple (besides a properly fit bra) has got to be leggings. Extremely versatile and comfortable, our pick for this must-have foundation piece is by an inspired company called Lyssé.


The astute, thoughtful designers of these sleek and flattering leggings have included all the best features; tummy-toning panels, flat-locked seams and exquisite tailoring. Effortlessly eliminating the need for extra pieces of shapewear with a smoothing high rise, Lyssé additionally invented their own unique double-knit custom ponte fabric that boasts excellent recovery. These leggings will take you stylishly through ALL the colder months.


For something new this year we are also offering Lyssé's wide leg ponte pant. This style adds some glamour to the silhouette while adhering to the comfortable smoothing versatility of each Lyssé product.

So whether you are looking for a flattering legging, a chic yet comfortable ponte pant, or simply to add some oomph to your wardrobe - I'll see you soon!

Rave - extra special summer bra!

I certainly am the type to get excited about a well designed bra.

 For the past year, my true love has been the Sexy Shaping Full Coverage T-Shirt Bra from Chantelle.

This bra was a bestseller for all shapes and sizes, mostly due to its excellent construction including the wide, flattering band and the pretty, lace covered cups.
However, we have a new contender from Wacoal. The Basic Beauty Spacer T-Shirt bra is easily a winner across the board and is ideal for the summer. The size range is impressive, and the stretchy fabric is soft and comfortable while the engineering sets a new standard in support.

Basic Beauty



Spacer cups are based around a honeycomb design - two lightweight layers held apart by strong yet flexible filaments - allowing the air to flow through and creating a breathable contour cup. Even though it feels weightless, the silhouette is lifted and always smooth.

Kicked-in straps complete this ideal design - the straps are angled slightly in a "Y" shape to resist slipping off the shoulders. The overall experience is based in comfort and security


Along the same vein, Wacoal also did an amazing update of their Halo Lace. Any bra with inifinity straps and a J-hook is a thoughtfully designed bra! The delicate lace is another wonderful fabric for this hot and humid summer.

And if we cannot tempt you with construction and science, another spacer cup by Wacoal is the Lace Embrace Contour in Purple Cactus- such a pretty color you won't be able to resist.
Update your lingerie wardrobe with smart buys and pretty colors - see you soon!
