Holiday Wishlist: Jess Tice, Artist

Jess Tice is an artist (and her paper pop-up skills are so crazy cool), who also happens to have beautiful taste in lingerie. A supporter of PLU since the start, her enthusiasm for pretty little everythings is such an inspiration and reminds me why I love writing about lingerie. So excited to share her wish list for a beautiful, relaxing holiday season!

1. Morgan Lane Orion Frankie Shirt

I hope this little number is under my tree this year!  It's ever so versatile for work and play, dressed up or down.

2. Jennie Kwon Diamond Septum Cuff

This is for my rock-and-roll side… which is just edgy enough to wear this on a daily basis but not actually take the piercing plunge.

3. Soap Cherié Neroli Bergamot Mineral Soak

I think everyone needs a ritual for the end of the day. Mine includes a cocktail and slipping into this luxurious Dead Sea mineral bath salt—nothing relaxes me quite like this. And I love supporting local businesses—Soap Cherié is in Brooklyn.

4. Dita Von Teese Madame X Set

Dita hits all the right marks with her lingerie line. I love the color of this set in Parisienne Blue, and how it just oozes sex appeal. And now that I'm a grown up, I'll actually wear the set together.

5. Intelligent Nutrients Absolute Jasmine

This jasmine perfume is divine! The smell isn't overpowering and not too floral. It's the perfect mysterious scent. I have to admit that whenever I stop at ABC Carpet, I have to 'try' it on.

Wednesday Quickie: Dita Von Teese

“I’ve collected lingerie since I was a little girl. But I wasn’t able to wear a bra until I was older, in the Eighties, and I was quite disappointed with my first bra — an ugly training bra,” said Von Teese. “It became a reminder in my thought process, and I later saved up to buy a favorite item — a robin’s-egg-blue silk garter belt, which I still treasure and keep. I didn’t equate it with seduction, but merely that I was a woman and thought of it as a little bit of luxury.”

Exactly.
