Tea Cups


I discovered the other day that the Gap has really nice underwear and that they carry what I am now going to call "tea-cups"... cup sizes for small boobs. They also have a nice selection of non-padded bras... something for which I am a proponent as bras like Victoria's Secret's Miracle bra make me feel like a fraud. The padding in that bra is ridiculous. When you take it off in front of a guy he will be immensely disappointed. If you want lift without the padding, look for a "balconette" bra. It is what it sounds like.

Mmmm...

SABON

The atmosphere of Sabon's stores is just... (le sigh). You feel like you're in a turn of the century Parisian boutique. Sabon's products come beautifully packaged, mostly in glass bottles rather than plastic(points for environmental activism). The products themselves smell... (deep inhale through nose... le sigh)
Disclaimer: Despite advertising it's products as "natural", the products do contain un-natural ingredients, such as parabens.

Tattoo Print Tights


This brand also produced those sparkling studded tights that Christina Aguilera wore when she performed on American Idol.

Bebaroque's stuff ain't cheap, but it's beautiful and if you can afford it it's worth buying.

Stunning Classic Timepieces

There's a vendor on Broadway in the Soho area, that sells breathtakingly beautiful pocket watches and watch pendants. I personally love anything that looks like an antique.
