It’s been a dynamite couple of years for Aerie, American Eagle’s lingerie and intimate apparel sub-brand. Their Aerie Real campaign, launched in 2014, has received almost universal accolades, with a number of media outlets praising the brand’s “refreshing” approach and “realness.” TLA covered the Aerie Real campaign back in January of last year.

I don’t know what’s caused it, but lately I’ve been majorly into beige, tearose, and blush lingerie.
