Claire Pettibone...is. an. absolute. goddess.  I am in adoration of her.  Her bridal gowns are divine, and the fact that she pulled the trigger and delved into lingerie makes me so incredibly happy.  I know that this collection has been around for a while, but a lot of the time when looking for knickers, one doesn't think to go to a renowned bridal gown designer.  Well now, without any further sidetracking...Miss Pettibone's Heirloom Collection:

Okay, now I'm a sucker for feminine and masculine elements intertwining, however I cannot deny the absolute radiance that comes from her highness.  I just adore the ridiculously dainty chantilly lace, and lets not forget the GORGEOUS sheers and subtle ribbon detailing.  It's so divinely sweet and feminine.  Exceedingly sexy without being overtly scandalous. To see more, go to the claire pettibone website.  Last remark...that teddy?  To DIE for.

to be seen....

Summer's coming, and with it comes fun slinky tanks that either have extremely slim straps, low armholes, and/or open backs, and you're a girl who just CAN NOT justify going without a bra.  Whether it's a matter of comfort or you can't stand the worry of having a Janet Jackson moment, you want that bra there, for support both physically, and emotionally.  You are talking to one of those girls.  I don't care what you say, the worry of a nip slip in any of these shirts/tanks is always on my mind if I was to ever brave it and go bra-less.  Not to mention the heightened uncomfort.  Ouch!  So, I took it upon myself to scope the web and try to find you ladies cute bras that are okay to show off (for fun neon colors in basic bra styles see the below post).  Hope that some of these tickle your fancy!
