Last year, I skipped doing the Valentine’s Day Shopping Guides. Between moving to California, traveling to the Salon International de la Lingerie in Paris, and then attending Curve in New York, I just felt too overwhelmed. But I realized, right around the time I usually would have been writing the guides, that I missed doing them.
It’s that time of year – well, at least according to the calendar and the decorations already adorning homes and stores. I live in Dallas, where it is unseasonably warm at the moment, even for Texas, but I won’t let that get in the way of my very specific November to January urge to cuddle up in my coziest loungewear all day, every day.

Disclosure: While I was sent the bra and panty free of charge and have been compensated for this review, I can assure you that my opinions are my own. I’m excited to be writing my first ever review and I’m beyond thrilled to be sharing my opinions on The Lingerie Addict. I’ve never […]

While I’ve shared a few of my fave choices for comfy underwear on TLA, I’ve never really shared my favorite bras. Despite having an absolutely massive lingerie collection (which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone reading this), like most people, there are a few brands and styles I return to again and again. Your favorite bra is like your favorite pair of sneakers or your favorite t-shirt. You just feel at home in it.
