We couldn’t agree more! Gorgeous and vibrant lingerie will have you feeling bold, sexy and feminine all day long (even if you don’t have a special someone to share it with). Remember to wash your negligee seperately and rinse with clear vinegar post wash to keep the colors vibrant.

Here are some stunning pieces that will keep you warm all winter long:

Over the Knee Socks

In Accessories, Fashion on November 18, 2010 at 2:44 pm

When was the last time you paid attention to socks? Were you reading Dr. Seuss (Fox In Socks)? Needless to say, it’s possible—downright probable—that you have neglected this lovely sub-section of your hosiery collection for far too long. I too have been part of this guilty and negligent crowd. My socks have literally been the last things on my mind!

A comeback from seasons past, one winter trend that is back in full effect is the knee-high socks. They come in lots of styles—stripped, wool, solid, cashmere—and were particularly fun when shown with knee high boots or heels. The socks are down right affordable and can instantly jazz up your outfit ; their prices range from $5 for a pair of Forever21 ones to $195 for cashmere socks, certainly less than the equally desired (depending on your taste).

Here are some of my faves:

Forever21 Cable Over the Knee Socks $4.80

American Apparel Ribbed Modal Over the Knee Socks $14.00

Urban Outfitters Angora Lurex Over the Knee Sock $18.00

Kiki de Montparnasse Cashmere Socks $195.00
