MySkins Skin-Matching Lingerie

Filed under: Apparel

MySkins Skin-Matching LingerieNo matter whether you're dressed black-tie or for the gym, if your, ah, foundation garments are showing, you look a mess. Of course, you could be going for that look. In that case, skip this post.

But for those women who want their lingerie to match their skin tone and therefore be invisible under clothing, particularly under the white clothes that dominate summer outfits, there's MySkins. This line comes in 20 shades, about 17 more than the traditional black, white, and "nude" (which only works if your skin is that beige-y tone) colors found in stores.

The line features bras ($48) and panties ($12) in three styles each. It's a short list, but my guess is that if the line takes off, it will add more styles. If you're not sure what color is for you, request a free Color Match Card.

A $108,000 Golden Bra

Filed under: Apparel


Generally speaking, spending more on a bra means getting more in the way of comfort, support, and all that other good stuff -- but not in this case. This is a bra made of solid gold and diamonds, and although I'm sure it gets good scores in the support department (ouch) I'm thinking comfort and versatility probably not so much. It's priced at $108,600, but only $58,600 of that is for gold and diamonds -- all that intricate design and diamond handiwork racked up a $50,000 labor bill. Was it really worth the effort?

It is pretty, but I think I'd rather have a bra made of diamonds than gold. Maybe whoever ended up with that gold swimsuit should buy it!

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Shopping

Victoria's Secret joins the Academy Awards swag parade with their annual gift to the best actress nominees. Women's Wear Daily reports that the gift includes a strapless bra that comes with a white gold chain with bearing 14 diamonds ( a total of around four carats) and a pavé diamond circle at the center of the bra and there is also a lip gloss spangled with diamonds and pink sapphires. The question I have is how does Vicky's know what bra size the nominees are?
