What do I love more than anything else in the world? (Excluding black mesh here, of course.) Comfy panties. There are entire articles on TLA dedicated to comfy drawers (Exhibit A, Exhibit B) and I’m still obsessed with the subject.

Sometimes, I like a bit of drama in my lingerie. Amoralle (formerly known as SockBox) is a newish lingerie brand out of Latvia, but they’re doing interesting things. Their latest collection was released a few days ago, and I’d call this full sleeve lace bodysuit the standout piece.

I love beautiful fabrics, and Gilda & Pearl uses some of the most gorgeous silks, laces, and meshes I’ve seen. I’m also really impressed at how focused […]
