We love versatile pieces! That’s why we cut The Splendid Silk Cami a bit longer so that you can wear it with any outfit you happen to dream up. With jeans, pencil skirt, a great pair of silk PJ pants or simply with a matching pair of silk tap pants!
The Splendid Silk Cami drapes elegantly along your curves because of its bias cut. And, because of its length, it can be layered under a jacket for work or show it off without for that special night out. Oh, and when you’re ready to count sheep… can you think of a more beautiful way to get your beauty sleep?
Get this fabulous and versatile silk camisole (and the matching tap pant too!) during our Cami, Tap and Robe sale going on this week… Thanks for visiting and we’ll see you in the next blog!

Are you ready for this day? The winter solstice is this Saturday, December 21st. It’s usually the official start of winter and it has the ignominious honor of being the shortest day of the year. We think the Winter Solstice gets a bad rap in the northern hemisphere because it is associated with winter, cold, snow and darkness. This year, we are going to help you embrace the Winter Solstice! With all the negatives that bad weather and darkness brings, there’s still plenty to love about this day.
In Boston, we will have a little over 6 hours less daylight than the Summer Solstice in June – only 9 hours and 4 minutes. But, we’ll take it in comparison to Fairbanks, Alaska, where they get less than 4 hours of precious daylight. See? It’s not so bad (unless you are in Fairbanks, Alaska)!What else is there to love about the Winter Solstice?Spiritually, the solstice celebrates the long hours of darkness and holds hope for renewal and self-reflection, sweeping out the old and ringing in the new.
Need some ideas on how to spend this Winter Solstice?
Take a Goddess Bath – Wash away all the negativity and fears of the past year in a cleansing bath made with sage, chamomile, basil, peppermint, cinnamon, sandalwood, lavender and rosemary. Light some candles and relish the smooth and calm of the darkness
Write in your journal – what better time to reflect and write down all the things you love about winter and the three most interesting people you have met this year
Spend some time with nature –Take a long walk in the woods. If it’s chilly, bundle up and your walk will have you feeling even more invigorated!
Give your house a good cleaning – enough said.
Power down – turn off your electronics and follow the natural light of the day, eat by candlelight and go to bed early
Plan to watch – a quiet calm sun rise and an early sun set
Julianna Rae, cinnamon rolls and coffee, we can’t think of a better way to start off the Winter Solstice! Stay cozy because the day is short in our Heavenly Spa Robe in Cerise (top right) and lounge the day away in a luxurious pair of Paradise Found PJ’s in Roca.
If we went to bed in a luxurious pair of silk pj’s, why take them off? We’d throw on a pot of coffee, make some cinnamon rolls and wrap up in a Heavenly Spa robe for some major journaling at breakfast. Winter Solstice party to prep for?We’d throw on a fresh pair of Pj bottoms which would go perfect with a favorite top and cute pair of heels and we’ll still look amazing when the sun goes down and the party really gets going.
The Sophia Silk Long Nightgown (shown in Roca) is the perfect choice for the longest night of the year, although going short in a lacy chemise like the Sophia Silk Chemise(in Meringue) is also perfect. The night is long enough for a wardrobe change midway through if you cannot decide.
Nothing is sexier than a long night spent in something as elegant and lacy as our new Sophia Silk Long Nightgown. Shorter? A chemise and silk thong or cami and tap are two options but it’s so hard to choose which set! With a night as long as the solstice a wardrobe change wouldn’t be out of the question… Alas, if we had to absolutely get out of pj’s then a silk bra and panty underneath anything we choose would be the absolute best way to watch the sunrise on the second shortest day of the year!
Now we ask you… what are you going to wear on the shortest day of the year???

We love the Summer Solstice so much we believe it should be a national holiday! What’s not to love about the longest day of the year for us up here in the northern hemisphere? (Sorry southern hemisphere!) Not only is the sun gracing us with its loving light for almost 16 hours (to be exact 15 hours and 17 minutes in Boston… but who’s counting?) It’s also the first official day of SUMMER and it’sstrawberry season! YAY YAY and double YAHOO!
If you’re packing to celebrate the solstice at Stonehenge we’ve got some perfect selections for the longest day of the year. Only going to the office and out for drinks after? Even better! We got versatility down; just check out our travel blog where we fill our suitcase WITH. JUST. SIX. PIECES.
So, what could we wear on the longest day of the year? For starters we would pick the perfect cami top because they are best for layering and look great dressed up or down. Take a few tips from our “Welcome Spring in silk pj’s” blog to select the right undergarments because the right first layer pieces will take your look from lumpy to luscious in a hot minute.
Casual Friday we go from the office to offline. Let’s pair a cami with jeans, layer on a jacket, and then get laid back. Got a more dressy Friday going on? The silk cami looks just as good with a skirt and suit jacket. Bare your arms at lunch-time to get your solstice on. You’ll be recharged enough to plow through your afternoon workload without that coffee.
Nothing makes us happier than dressing lighter. Wanna show some leg on your solstice date or long night out with the girls? How about a sexy pair of silk shorts? They are as comfortable to wear and gorgeous to look at. Try a plain print cami on top, cute T-shirt or show off all that gym time with a crop top.
Show off your gams in a pair of delightfully light and airy silk shorts like these from our Paradise Found Silk PJ’s. Then complete the outfit with a Paradise Found Silk Camisole Top in Gardenia, mmm! This look can dress up or down with a strappy pair of heels or a cotton t-shirt, it’s ladies choice after all!
What better way to celebrate a late sunset and the longest day of the year than in the Allura Silk Long Gown. You’ll feel uber glam in bed but also luxuriously comfy as you watch the last flicker of pink sink from the solstice sky.
So now we ask… what will you wear on the longest day of the year?

Love it or hate it, Black Friday has become a big day. In fact, it has grown over the years infamously into its own “holiday” on the calendar. Whether you jump right into the middle of the crowds or ignore it all together, Black Friday is here to stay.Why?Well… Continue reading →
Even back in the early days we wanted to wear our silk cami outside. For good reason… silk is a perfect choice for a steamy day and when paired with your favorite jeans the only thing revealed is your sexy, playful side! Because silk is such an amazing fabric we are certain that this cami style from a decade ago would look just as good today as it did on the day of this photoshoot. Spraying water and silk? We didn’t bat an eyelash because we knew then (and now!) just how easy it is to care for silk… do you?
As summer is heating up you may want to do a quick inventory for one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe. Don’t bother looking in your closet because most likely it’s in your lingerie drawer!
Go from day to evening with just a few easy clothing swaps. Comfy blue jeans and a sweater get tossed for silk tap pants and a luxurious robe. It all begins with the Silk Tresor Contrast Lace Cami. The color scarlet lights up your night as the sun goes down! See how we dress up a silk chemise for date night on our Pinterest board.
