feeling frosty

with a huge snow storm hitting much of the east coast it's hard to think about spring.

these little blooms however provide the perfect pick-me-up. like much of the 'wearable' jewelry line, they're dainty and delicate.

they also wouldn't stand a fighting chance out there.

straight talking

pencil skirts never go out of fashion. it's a fact. they're sexy but still classy. and they can go from the office to date-night in a snap.

this is a particularly great reincarnation of the design. it can be dressed up or dressed down and that's awesome.

send in your entries quick.

i heart you

just a friendly reminder that valentine's day is less than two weeks away.

there are countless ways to say 'i love you' to your special someone. for many, words are enough. others take the less subtle approach.

confessions of a lingerie addict knows all about such a method...she confesses to a "naughty knickers habit," and as she proclaims, "there's no 12-step program for this."

at the moment she is hosting a very appropriate valentine's day giveaway for 'hanky panky' lingerie. celebrities swear by them for their comfort and fit, so they might very well be the sexiest practical option out there for your sweetheart this year.
