Happy New Year, everyone! Have you gotten
over your holiday food comas yet?
I took a blissful week off to cook enough
food to feed a small country, read several fabulous books, and reflect on the
coming year. One of the things I've had in my head is the idea of spending more
mindfully. Mindful spending doesn't mean spending less, but for me it does mean
spending money on things that are high quality and I will treasure over years
rather than weeks or months. WIth that in mind, I've put together my best of
list from Bella Bella Boutique with the idea of mindful spending in mind. These
pieces will increase your restfulness, your enjoyment of your private time, add
excitement to your relationship, and even help you stay trim and moisturized. I
can't imagine a better combination than that!
I'm a stay at home lounge girl at heart,
so this Dashboard Babydoll and Ruched Panty set in Lake really speaks to me. I
love the serene shade of blue that is perfect for this busy time of year while
we all mentally restart our engines, and the loose falling fabric that mimics
soothing waves. Wear this around the house or out over a cami, as it would be
beautiful either way.
Speaking of lounge, one of my goals for
the year is to stock up on gorgeous and comfy sleepwear. My first stop is this
silk crepe chemise by La Lilouche with a rock star style "Brunettes
Rock" on it, despite the fact that I find myself inching closer to red
head as the months go by! It's comfortable, stylish, but not too elegant to get
a great night's sleep in.
La Vie En Rose is one of my favorite
songs, although I'm heretically known to prefer Louie Armstrong's version to
Edith Piaf's. This La Vie En Rose Bodysuit by Tatu Couture is the perfect piece
of those of you who feel the same. Tatu Couture's pieces have enough structure
to act as shape wear while offering unique tattoo inspired designs. The
semi-sheer cups on this bodysuit make it the perfect piece to wear out and show
off.
This Plum Pretty Sugar Cami Dress in Pink Love Poppy reminds me of all of the things that I love about spring in the
South: the flowers bursting into bloom, the golden sunbeams, and the delicate
white dresses that everyone wears to celebrate the perfect weather. This piece
has all of that in a delicate and feminine nightgown. If you're planning a
spring beach vacation, I can see it working as the perfect beach cover up as
well.
While we're on the subject of pastel
colors, I fully believe that everyone needs one of these Hera Robes by
Priscilla Jade. I love the teal and red combination as it reminds me of what
Audrey Hepburn wears in Breakfast At Tiffany's. The mesh is sheer and sexy,
while still flowing beautifully over the body.
I'm tempted to have my workout pants do
double duty and pick up a set of these Lytess Slimming Capris this year. The
only thing that would be more fun that my ballet/kickboxing routine would be
tightening everything else up while I do it! If you have dry skin, pants with
these microcapsules are a great way to give your legs a deep conditioning
treatment while you run errands or hit the gym.
I love robes, and I love purple, so this
MC Lounge Silk Chiffon Robe is a must for me. I love the menswear details on it
combined with the sexy sheer sleeves.
I'm thinking ahead to spring, and this LOLA HAZE Deco Chemise seems to embody that season for me. I love the sheerness and the swatches of color, and the charcoal is a great twist on the traditional basic black.
I've always said that if I ever win the
lottery, I'm picking up the entire Marika Vera line. Her pieces are sensual and
flattering, and many double as sleepwear or loungewear. This LOU Silk Camisoleand Knickers set are a subdued take on her normal aesthetic, and would be a
great introduction to her line.
I hope that you all have a year full of
romance, excitement, adventure, and most importantly great lingerie!
