that which lies beneath...

the thrill is knowing that...under an old pair of jeans and a comfortable sweater...you have on the kind of satin and frills usually reserved for antique dolls...or...more likely....the harlots of the house of the rising sun...

maybe you're the only one who knows...maybe you've let someone else in on the secret...it's expensive...but you can't put a price on desire...each piece must feel luxurious against the skin...so fabric is key...it must be expertly designed to both fit and flatter...

the long-overdue innovation was using stretch lace and other new fabrics to combine support with sexy and feminine styling...

lingerie...ultimately...it must be ready to seduce...you are probably not buying french teddies to cook in....and as any designer can tell you...seduction is in the details...

underneath of all things usually hidden from the naked eye...what slips between you and your outerwear ranks among the most alluring...but underwear...is not to be underestimated...

it has everything to do with the clothes that cover it...it shapes our bodies so that we can fit into tiny-waisted ball gowns and second-skin dresses...it may scathe us in satin, lace, or cotton...making us feel warm...or confident...or pretty...or seductive...

at times...our underwear is our outerwear....we let the whole world see us in our drawers...other times...we're more private...we might let one special person peek beneath the layers...

start to build your underwear wardrobe with basic colors...white, black, nude...fit and fabric make all the difference...spend time finding the right size and cut...make sure leg holes and waist don't cut into your body...think about usage...underwear that looks the prettiest on its own often looks lumpy under clothes...

top drawer scents...



once your drawers are clean...take that one extra step...

an inexpensive and simple treat to indulge in...

you can always go the route of lining your drawers with lining made specifically for that purpose...or...you can get creative...

what to use??

how about placing scent strips from magazines in your underwear drawer?

or fancy soaps?

or fresh-cut rosemary from the garden?

or...even fresh herbal tea bags?

anything to give yourself a nice pleasant whiff when you pull open the drawer...

it is just a little private pleasure, not one anyone else will ever be aware of...
open the drawer while getting dressed in the morning...a fairly humdrum moment in your everyday life...but close your eyes, breathe deeply, and stay there a moment before going on with the rest of your ordinary day...

a lovely scent on which to begin...
