Short Romance
Develop quick rapport with your heroine, Dear Reader, by wearing your own lacy slip. Designs by Merle Noir (could that be a nom de plume?), provide a stealth way to always feel romantic. We love the Passion Violet Slip Dress and the Rustique Pink Chemise (with, gasp, intricate smokey grey lace).
For something even shorter, fall in love with a camisole. Many of Merle Noir’s lacy (and colorful) camisoles are now on sale at JV. Bookmark one right away.
Or, succumb to Yuvi Kawano’s Signature Lace Bodysuit of transparent black lace. As Emily Tate notes in her JV website description, it will “set your imagination on fire.”
Either daytime or nighttime, Zambak’s leather-appliquéd net tops are short and sweet. Wear the Flat Leaf or Rosalinda Top under your work blazer. For keeping your shoulders warm before “lights out”, try the Daisy or Flat Leaf Shrug.
Speaking of after-dark romance-reading, why not be seduced by a bed jacket? Karma on the Rocks has you covered in their Hanten Jackets of quilted silk velvet in red or navy. Without giving away the plot, we must tell you that these jackets have a secret silk lining.
Like eating gumdrops, little love stories make you hunger for more. As do your page-turners from Jane’s Vanity!!
