August 10 Lazy Summer Mornings Could there be a more appealing way to spend a lazy vacation morning at home than dressed in a beautiful vintage robe, peignoir or housecoat? We think not!
 
Yummy daisy housecoat by St Michael . . . .

Lingerie.. my favorite subject. I have a closet full and occasionally I do part with them. If I start an Etsy site (which I am going to) then it is going to be for my collection of lingerie...

70s double nylon set by Hensen kickernick

Vintage Janelle peignoir that I swear I saw when I was watching that Madmen sneak peak into the closet - it sold but it was this really distinctive green with a yellow layer underneath.

I collect vintage lingerie and I wear it as well. I love the feeling of it - so feminine and beautiful. If there is a perk any girl can give herself it would be a set of frilly lovely vintage lingerie.
 
For lazy summer mornings or something to slip into after work, I'm totally addicted to these little zip front robes or caftans. Silky nylon short sleeve for summer, snuggly velour in winter. You look "presentable" if a neighbor drops by, yet they are so comfortable!

This one is my new favorite.. i love the lilac/ lavender color, and the short sleeves:

short robes are also great for summer.. here's a quilted one in pink with rhinestone buttons:
