I have strong associations from my storied Victoria's Secret history, like.....first bra shopping, pink, frills, my flat, tom-boy physique, Judy Blume (a teen girl from my era could not shop for bras without thinking of Judy Blume books), fear of cup sizes & looming clerks with measuring tape, joy of padded push-up bras, high-waisted thongs ....and now, thanks to the Designer Collection available at the Herald Square Victoria's Secret, I've got some lovely new memories to add to my VS memory bank:
Ivory Flora Nikrooz, $160, beautiful neckline and pleats.
Elegant beige silk Kumi Kookoon, $258. This one needs to be tried in person. Click on the bodice for detail.
Pleated, ruffled, Flora Nikrooz, $168. Adorable.
This silk Kumi Kookoon is more grey ($298). Click for gorgeous gathering and beading at the bodice.
The most fun and sexy of them all, I want to wear this tiered fringe with jeans. Flora Nikrooz, $158.
Sweet, romantic, and still somehow sexy, don't you think? These have the look of treasures from a grandmother's hope chest.

Sure, I took Judy Blume bra shopping with me."Are you there breasts? it's me desperate for a bra." My first bra was bought at I.magnin's and my mother and a burly woman of Russian descent manhandled me as she determined what kind of brazier I needed.
Love your VS recollections and new memories!
all is so delicated! love it!
a kiss!!
The fringe is my favorite too.
The ivory Flora Nikrooz with pleats is stunning. Simply stunning.
And the babydolls...?! Oh My Miss Fashion! Oh my! Va-va-va-voom!

the first one is my favorite and i think it's the most flattering on u!
Gorgeous picks. Are all Victoria's Secret stores selling this line or just certain ones?
Those ARE pretty.
You know, I never set foot in VS because they don't stock bras in my (very small) size.
You need a cigarette and a maribu heel ala Mad Men...HOT!
they look very elegant for VS design. Hot indeed.
i love the 3rd one down... so pretty. surprisingly sophisticated, too
Oh Judy Blume...now there's a reference that takes me back!
I esp. love the pleated, ruffled, and gathered camis by Flora Nikrooz and Kumi Kookoon.
Wow, I wish we have VS in Singapore! I like all their bags & lotions as well.
i like it when VS shows some other designers - there's so much out there in the world of designer lingerie and no one knows about it!

Simply stunning. But, ah ... does a teddy really NEED pockets?
i like the black one the best!
number 2!

U look adorable !!
Wowsa, these are gorgeous! So Vintagey. I have a gift card to VS but I haven't been able to find anything to buy, I'll have to hit the Herald Square store.
Fringe??? Dude you are so on the money with your posts for me! Too bad it's $158! :(
