Tempting Tuesdays: Carine Gilson Loveliness!

Tuesdays will feature a lustworthy lingerie set and a suggested retailer. I think we all need a little something beautiful to at least look at to get us through the week. Hope you love them as much as I do!

Carine Gilson Thème Egérie Silk Crepe de Chine Set

My big sister from my sorority came up to visit a couple months ago and we spent a gorgeous day brunching and shopping. She's been purchasing very ladylike clothing lately, pieces with delicate details and sometimes ruffles. She kept saying, "I want to be lovely." I laughed every time she said it (and I think she said it at least 20 times).

But if you really think about it, it's possible to draw differences between something you'd describe as "cute", "pretty", and "lovely". I think most of the pieces I post are "cute" or "pretty" (occasionally "gorgeous!"), but this Carine Gilson set is definitely lovely.

Blush-pink silk and such delicate lace that seems to gently enswathe your body? Yes, please! This is definitely a classic set for special occasions, and one you'll keep for years.

Silk Crepe de Chine Bra, $385. French briefs, $410. Available at Net-A-Porter.com.
