What She Wants

World peace. And something from Jane’s Vanity! If you’re thinking of a JV gift, start with the basics. That would be nice little nothings in black. Sultry and sophisticated, yet, somehow, fresh. A surprise in black conveys confidence and elan, for both giver and recipient. JV offers a lovely assortment of decidedly French designs in black (with sizing and styling assistance from the JV staff via email):

Consider a black bodysuit: Choose Cadolle’s sizzling off-the-shoulder Arabesque Bodysuit in transparent mesh, flocked with velvet detail; or Lise Charmel’s stretch lace halter-neck Baisers de Fleur Bodysuit that plunges becomingly in front and back.

Splash for a sexy black bra set. Camille Roucher offers the seductively lacy Narcisse Embellished Lingerie Set, Dahlia Plunge Lingerie Set, and DNA Push-Up or Bralette Sets.

Add that extra touch of black hosiery from Gerbe.

Black is also a cagey accent to color. Like a wink across the room. The combinations are enticing, a gift of possibilities from France:

Black Calais lace enhances Marjolaine’s elegant silk half-slips in midnight blue, celadon, silver, and burgundy.

Lise Charmel embroiders gold silk with black lace for the sumptuous Splendeur Soie Ambre collection of babydoll chemise, camisole, and lingerie set.

Let black take the lead as a charming guide to French-inspired gift-giving from Jane’s Vanity.
