Rachel Zoe likes the Cosabella Papillion strapless and Oprah seems to like everything from LeMystere including their strapless bras (all fabulous and sold here at Forty Winks), but my heart belongs to another.

I’m totally  sold on the “Strapless Push Up” from OnGossamer .

Not only does it fit like a dream on small to medium busts (like mine) but the color (Champange) is light enough to blend perfectly with my fair skin.  Coming to grips with never having a tan has been challenging (think spray tans gone bad and agony over colors that don’t wash me out) so  I’m psyched over the realistic match for my body.

This being said, we sell this little jewel all day to woman of all skin tones because, as previously mentioned,  it fits a lot of bodies pretty much  perfectly.  It lightly padded for support  so you’re not going to yanking the thing up all day and it features a deeper center plunge than other strapless bras.  The $44 price tag helps too.

Luckily we just received a full size run from OnGossamer so come see if this strapless works for you.  xoxo.

After too many weeks without one, Forty Winks now proudly boasts a beautiful new sign!  You can’t miss us!  

Its true that at Forty Winks, lingerie reigns supreme.  This will never change.

Its also true, however, that in addition to our pretty lacy things,  we’ve got some pretty cute daywear too.   As the weather turns up the heat (and the humidity) I’m loving our selection of versatile tanks and tees from the likes of Daftbird, Keep Me and Bobi.

These tanks are especially fun when paired with a meant-to-be-seen bra in a funky color (a la the Cosabella Prettie bra, a Belabumbum bandeau, or an ultra thin strapped Eberjey bralette.

Mer’s pick is the Cosabella “Peaches” chemise in this gorgeous aquamarine color.   The elasticized lace top is supportive and SO flattering…

Rachel’s pick is the Mary Green 100% silk chemise.  It’s incredibly easy to wear and so comfortable to snooze in…We just reordered this style in Marine blue too!

She’s finally here!  The much anticipated (thanks to the STUFF magazine HOT section) Marlene Balconette bra is here at Forty Winks in sizes 32-36, B-C and 34D.   This little jewel looks even better in real life…  especially when you pair it with the matching g-string!

The bra is $94 and matching thong is $30.
