Not your Grandma's Underwear and Femmy Tops
Here are you invites to three great online designer web sites for great designer sales.
Our relationship to underwear can best be described as complex, having been formed early in life by Mom’s warnings about wearing clean underwear just in case you’re in an accident, and those day’s of the week panties that kept you out of sorts when you had to wear Monday on Friday. And in later years, we could so relate to Bridget Jones’s red-faced moment of passion when Huge Grant discovers she’s wearing granny panties. Okay, so these days we’d rather feel comfortable in our “unmentionables” but does that mean we have to sacrifice looking and feeling sexy too? Heck no. When was the last time you were in a lingerie store tomatoes? And we’re not talking Victoria’s Secrets or Fredericks of Hollywood, but one of the many delightful boutique lingerie stores around town and online too, like La Petite Coquette at 51 University Place in Greenwich Village; La Perla, for Italian lingerie on 803 Madison Avenue,Azaleas 223 East 10th Street in the East Village, and online you'll find Mary Green. Here's a few highlights:

Cotton never looked so good. We love this red cotton/spandex camisole. Perfect for any tomato. On line at Mary Green.
Nothing says vintage like the brand new Signature Stretch Lace Retro thong from Hanky Panky!
Femmy Tops that say “You enjoy being a girl”
Our shopping and style guru, Kathy Fahy says that femmy tops are one of the many ways to update your look for the Spring. Soften your suit look, your trousers, your skinny pants and your skirts with sweaters, shirts or tee shirts that speak to ruffles, lace or any treatment that takes the edge away from a tailored top.
Don’t be afraid to shop in JCrew or Club Monaco - their femmy sweaters are not just for your daughters. Soften up your look with a femmy top that lets everyone know “you 'enjoy being a girl". A fellow tomato used to sing that very tune!!!
