As Valentine’s Day approaches, I wonder: Where can one find nice, affordable lingerie?

I ask this after spending a day getting sticker shock at various boutiques! My goal was to find a nice long robe like the one above by StyleStalker, for the same price point. Nasty Gal doesn’t have the above in my size, so I went looking for something in the same family.
By Chez Boutique was having a pop up shop downtown, so I stopped by, and fell in love with this Olivia Von Halle robe…

Until I saw the $800 price tag! Even when the owner offered me a discount, I couldn’t justify spending several hundred dollars on something I’d wear around the house–occasionally.
Undeterred, I figured I could go to Bloomingdales and find something more affordable. But even there, I was guided towards Agent Provocateur and their $900 robes fashioned out of French lace:

Who knows, maybe I looked like the type of chick who spends $500+ on robes (this is what I wore yesterday), but I’m not the one. I’ll spend on shoes, bags, and coats…things you can get a lot of use and wear out of! I simply can’t justify investing in something (aside from a bra) that is purely for under your clothes or inside the boudoir.

So with that Bombshells, help a sista out! Where can one get really nice, but affordable lingerie? Preferably no synthetic materials. And not Victoria’s Secret, please:)

Jennifer Lopez partnered with Italian shoe king Giuseppe Zanotti on a small collection of heels:

Strappy sandals in various iterations are on deck, along with glittery booties and wedged sneakers.

Shoe addict Evelyn Lozada attended the brand’s launch last night and modeled a pair of the booties, which sparkled in the light:

We were in love, but a lot of the comments said the shoes looked dated, or reminded them of other brands (including Steve Madden).
What is your take? Do you think the heels are Hot! or Hmm…?

J Lo and Giuseppe Zanotti have collaborated on a line of shoes called Giuseppe for Jennifer Lopez! The songstress celebrated the partnership last night with a soirée at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. She slipped on a pair of shoes from her line and a Cushnie et Ochs Resort 2017 dress for the festivities:

Yes, lashes!

Her look was modeled with strappy black sandals.

Hmmm…I wouldn’t call this a ‘miss,’ but we’ve seen her in better. It happens to everyone. We’re sure she’ll slay everyone in eyesight at the next event!

She writes, “I would describe my style as free spirited because it’s very versatile.”

“I love to mix prints and patterns and I love shoes and accessories.”

We’re wrapping up our Haute Couture street style coverage with these fashionable flix, courtesy of David Nyanzi!
Indulge in our favorites below:

Natasha Zinko has fun with fashion and I love it! Yes to the pink Blood Honey fur!

Winter style tip: do not wear your coat! This glam gal let her fur slip seductively off her shoulders. It works!

Same for this young lady, who matched her oversized red coat to her Fedora. Love those Gucci shoes!

A coat perched on the shoulders was a subtle accent to this orange injected, bejeweled ensemble.

The whimsy and insouciance of this look aptly embodies Haute Couture street style, no?

Lastly, both Rihanna and Kylie have worn this Vetements reversible camo coat, but I think this Street Style subject hands down styled it best. What do you think?
There you have it!
See anything you’d wear?

Summer will definitely be sassier with pieces like these! Wear them alone or over a swimsuit for a romantic getaway.

Prices start at $275 for a bralette and top aoff at around $850 for a dress. A splurge? Yes. But a small investment for a handmade piece.
