Right now Kiki de Montparnasse lingerie is on sale at Gilt Groupe. The sale features gorgeous silky floor length nightgowns, sheer slips, and soft silk camis at about 60% off. The collection at Kiki teaches me that lingerie doesn’t have to be about skimpiness and showing lots of skin. Their pieces are made of beautiful flowing silk that drapes with a feeling of elegance. The slips can be worn on their own or layered under a dress to have an all day feeling of silk next to your skin.

The sale ends tonight so visit Gilt Groupe now to check it out!

Kiki de Montparnasse Lingerie Sale

Sometimes I think a woman just needs to indulge and buy beautiful expensive lingerie for herself.  It doesn’t matter if you have someone to wear it for, it’s just important to feel confident and sexy in your own body.  If you find yourself wearing flannel pajama pants to bed every night, consider the idea of treating yourself to a sexy ensemble to explore that hidden side of yourself…you never know how it might make you feel.

AP Frankie Halterneck Waistcoat and High-Waisted Brief

I love this understated tuxedo style vest and briefs with suspenders.  It’s sexy without showing too much skin and I think it would also look great layered under a jacket and skirt.

AP Jesse Basque Corset and Suspenders

I love the simplicity of this corset with black lace and purple satin.  The tiny polka dots have a retro and girly feel.

AP Gwendoline Red Corset

The red corset is always flattering and sexy.  This one is in taffeta with silver fastenings and lacing up the back.

You can see the entire sale online at Agent Provocateur.

Lingerie Sale at Agent Provocateur

I can’t tell you how many mornings I was late for work–due to unacceptable undergarment selections. When you are wearing the wrong bra–no matter how beautiful your blouse or jacket is, it will look ill-fitted and sloppy. When you are wearing the correct one however, you experience a form of empowerment like no other.

Oprah did a show not too long ago which shed light on the fact that most women do not wear the correct size…and that they don’t really know how to measure themselves. She took a group of women of various shapes and sizes, had them properly fitted and voila! The difference in each woman’s silhouette and posture was amazing.

So with this in mind, I gathered up some courage, marched into a local lingerie shop and told the saleswoman, I think I’m wearing the wrong bra…wasn’t that brave? The look she gave me was–gee, ya think?

Within seconds of looking at my shape…she knew what I should have been wearing…picked out a basic style, in a new and correct size…and there, standing in front of the mirror (mildly embarrassed) was the new me.

I urge you to get to your department store or “ladies’ shop” and get fitted, you will be so happy you did.

I’m going to get dressed right now, so I can feel good about myelf, as I take the dog out for a walk.
