Lovely La Perla and Jean Paul Gaultier Lingerie

La Perla’s unmentionables already made my heart pitter-patter and then they partnered with Jean Paul Gaultier, and I nearly had a stroke. Check out these pretty spring pieces from La Perla and the Gaultier “Frou Frou” bustier below. All need loving homes and are waiting for you at Neiman Marcus NorthPark. Looking for something else? Take a look at what we found at Trousseau of Dallas and Intimacy, too.

Under-$100 Stocking Stuffer: Highnies Boxers

photography by Matthew Shelley

When I first saw the soft white Royal Highnies bag filled with two pairs of the softest boxers I’ve ever laid hands on, I was thrilled… until I saw the price tag. Why in the world would a pair of plain boxers be nearly $70? Well, because the mission of the company was to “create the perfect boxer short.” I’d say a crisp white pair in 400-thread-count cotton comes pretty close. Plus, you can’t ignore a company with a sense of humor. See excerpt from Royal Highnies website below:

The story began as a question to create the perfect boxer short. We viewed it as a locating the perfect home for the family jewels. It needed to be a custom home, handmade, including a spacious ballroom with full seating and a sturdy front entrance so that no one slips out unexpectedly. This home should be built with the finest 400 thread count Pima cotton with virtually no shrinkage (on our part).

I’ve got my hands on them, and they’re worth every penny. Find them between $65 and $75 at Pockets Menswear, The Gypsy Wagon, Culwell & Son, and Stanley Korshak
