Until recently, bodysuits were considered outdated and passé , a relic of the eighties and early nineties. However, along with numerous other trends from the same time period, they have experienced a bit of a comeback, popping up on designer runways and trendy websites alike.
As a functional garment, they are incredibly useful; creating a seamless look when paired with skirts or pants and providing the wearer with the confidence that comes with a no-fuss outfit. You will never have to worry about coming un-tucked and you will never have to worry about excess material adding unnecessary bulk to your frame, especially around the sensitive waistline.
If you too have noticed the bodysuit’s resurgence and feel like your wardrobe would benefit from one (or more), here are a few of my favorites:
Adea’s ¾ Sleeve Crew Neck Bodysuit
The useful base layer features a simple silhouette and a bracelet-length sleeve.
Nasty Gal’s “Frida” Bodysuit
This pretty off-the-shoulder option with a sweetheart neckline has just the right mix of sexy and sweet.
Victoria’s Secret’s Essential Poplin Bodysuit
The classic menswear-inspired white button-up becomes infinitely more wearable when reinterpreted as a bodysuit.
American Apparel’s “Cross V” Bodysuit
This suit’s flattering faux-wrap neckline elongates the figure and highlights the waist.
Which one is your favorite? X

I just read an article that sounded – to me at least – like “a canary in a coal mine” or an early warning of danger. This piece, written by Joe Pompeo, appeared in the May 2020 issue of Vanity Fair magazine with the title “The British Tabloid Invasion” and a subtitle that read, “How the Daily Mail is conquering American gossip.”

Apparently the good old U.S. is a nation of “not great” sleepers. Really? And I thought I was the only one! According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it was revealed that one out of three Americans are chronically sleep-deprived. Yikes!

I think we’re all taken by the incredible mystique of the famous French fashion house, Hermès that has been with us for two centuries and is still owned and operated by the same family. From its beginnings in fine equestrian leather goods, they are – in the tumultuous year 2020 – best known for their handbags and many other items.
My image of Hermès has always been rarified products at equally rarified prices so imagine my surprise when I recently received a very stylish publication of theirs in the mail.
