Sheer Back Seam Pantyhose - by Leg Avenue

Joan Crawford Insisted…

Did you know that the woman absolutely hated wire hangers? And I have to admit, I’m trying to rid our closets of them as well. I know that they are more expensive, but slowly toss out the wire and replace them with the wooden variety. They simply do a much better job of caring for […]

Today’s Rant

*Washing Often Enough?

Wouldn’t it be nice to just wear your lingerie once, toss it and then replace it with something new out of your bureau drawer. Unfortunately, most of us can’t do that, and then there are those pieces that you absolutely love so much that you don’t want to toss anyway. So, here’s how to keep […]
