Spicy

Let your JV wardrobe be as spicy as a steaming cup of mulled wine, stirred with a cinnamon stick, and redolent of citrus, star anise, and ginger. Mix colors as you would flavors, to create something new and exciting for the party season.

First ingredient: Laylina’s Noor Aubergine Babydoll, crafted from rich purple silk and French lace. The perfect addition to a pajama set. Love it for a house party, layered with Gilda & Pearl’s Golden Hollywood Silk Pajamas in leopard print. Let the jacket hang loose to show the peplum effect of the babydoll. For a carefree New Year’s look, do the same with the black silk Esme Ostrich Lounge Set, also from Gilda & Pearl.

Golden silk is a fabulous base for many concoctions. Studio Pia’s Petra Amber Silk Robe looks sleek with a peek of its matching Petra Amber Convertible Lingerie Set. But try it over the sunny Fiori Bodysuit from Gilda & Pearl, with its multi-colored flower embroidery on stretchy beige tulle. Or with Karolina Laskowska’s Daninae Lingerie Set with rosettes of orange and pink on a background of delicate pink Chantilly Lace. Any of these looks could dine out in style, with just the addition of trousers in denim or silk.

Mellow wine shades make brilliant pairings too. Pull up your Barolo Soft Merino Tights from Falke and strut out Dana Pissarra’s deep Bordeaux Rib Silk Top. The perfect foil for plaids, heathers, and prints. Or for Dana’s lacy Liberty Black Wool Skirt.

For an afternoon event, wear a chaste navy blazer, enlivened by the piquant Balabar Silk Scarf from Ika Paris over Vannina Vesperini’s jazzy Ruby & Denim Camisole Set. 

And add a little pepper to an evening at home with Karolina Laskoswska’s Morphinae Corded Plunge Lingerie Set in black lace with blue and gold accents. So flattering under Morpho + Luna’s Luna Flannel Dressing Gown.

This winter, whip up a party mix of color with delectable pieces from Jane’s Vanity.
