Les Jupons de Tess

J’adore Les Jupons de Tess… how sexy is this French lingerie line? I am obsessed!

Les Jupons de Tess is a French lingerie label creating collections inspired by the elegance of the 18th century woman. It is an era characterised by the ‘Art de la toilette’ and female ‘coquetterie’.  Symbols of the period, such as frills and ribbons, adorn the various styles.  These “Boudoir” collections have been updated to create a glamorous range of corsetry and lingerie for a woman who, depending on her mood, wants to be flirtatious, seductive or mischievous. The features that most strongly evoke this period include bodices with fitted corsets, the use of silk, the influence of English fashion, pieces in sheer cotton, high-waisted chiffon gowns…

The result is a delicate collection, using finely worked, elegant and luxurious fabrics. Layers of chiffon, “Leavers” lace and silks combine to create a couture feel.

Speaking of obsessions, the other day I was in CVS looking for a deep conditioner (summer kills my hair) and I stumbled upon Dove’s Intensive Repair. I think it was on sale or something, at any rate, it was certainly cheaper than the Nexxus stuff I usually buy (which they were out of)… anyway, this stuff really works. My hair is so soft! I have absolutely no affiliation or connection to Dove or their products. To be frank, their regular shampoos and conditioners don’t really work in my hair. But this stuff is awesome. Plus, I found a free sample voucher thingy for you online. Definitely worth the $5 I spent and most certainly worth a try for free!
