So as I lounge here in my aubergine La Perla Pj’s, here are a few of my favorite robes with a bit of a review!

Woolrich Berber Robe – This one was not on her list but in needs mentioning as it was seriously 16 Below Zero!  When I saw this robe reviewed on another site I fell in love with it, if not with the $150 price tag, so I kept an eye out for it and it I found it!  I was very wary of the material but it is very warm, cozy and not scratchy at all and if you can find it for 60% off  and you need something when you’re to curl up by the fire, you will not be disappointed.

Cocoon by Randi Kristoffersen Quilted Silk Robe – I’ve lusted after a Cocoon Robe for sometime but knowing it was sold at places like Neiman Marcus, Nancy Meyer, Harrods and so on, only comes in approximately 12 universally flattering proprietary colors and uses haute couture methods of tailoring with limited production and prices that start at $400 made this seem way out of reach.  So imagine my surprise when by chance I saw my quilted pale green robe NWT’s on ebay (I estimated the rrp. conservatively at $800) I knew I had to bid and I got it for 85% off.  The robe is heavenly and fits beautifully… I could get use to this.  Sadly, I’m seeing less and less of her work in the US but I was able to find some of the cotton pieces at Bedroom I’s for 25% off, with prices starting at $233.

Madame V’s Ostrich Feather Dressing Gown – I think Mme. Frou Frou post on fabulous feathers will give you an idea about how wonderful this piece is.   I love this robe!  It’s the very height of Drama Queen, even my New Year resolution was to re-decorated my office around this robe.  The Madame V robe retailed for $800 (I see a trend) I got a fantastic deal at over 70% off and now it’s sold out, but fear not, Faire Frou Frou has the D’lish Ostrich Feather Robe for only $270 for the same dramatic effect.

Agent Provocateur Fifi Short Robe – I love this short, sassy, sheer robe from Agent P.  It’s black and trimmed in carmel marabou feather for a very 50’s sex kitten feel (I know more feathers).  It’s brilliant with hi-waist knickers and cat eye glasses and at 75% off it was mine.  Again (as with most sales) these pieces tend sell out and/or are discontinued and though the AP sale is over you can still find wonderful pieces on ebay or wait for their next Semi- Annual Sale in about six months.  (Be a bit wary of AP on ebay as most of the sellers bought during the sale, then raised the prices).

Sexy Panties And Naughty Knickers Quilted Silk Dressing Gown -What is not to adore about 1940’s Hollywood glamour styled robes and when you can save 75% off, even more so.  Where the Cocoon robe is subtle the S***K robe, in hot pink, demands attention.  It’s a longer piece requiring me to wear silk pajamas and my vintage black satin French mules with the fur pom poms and possibly holding a martini while watching a William Powell/Myrna Loy movie.  The best part is you can still get this robe -I want it in blue too, (albeit a bit trickier if you are in North America) for only £30/$45 (rrp £152/$229).

My next review will feature dressing gowns from Spoylt, Undrest, Skin and vintage silk kimonos.  Have a great weekend!

Made by Niki Shape Shorts

On Black Friday Made by Niki had the most amazing sale and since I already own a couple of pieces I knew I would not be disappointed.  All past season stock, and I mean all of it, sold for only £10 each.  The stunning long satin skirt, shape shorts, bras, bustiers, limited edition knickers  all £10 each.  I picked of the midnight blue satin shape short (sadly the long skirt I ordered -rrp.£200 had sold out, Niki did offer a replacement item tho’).  These shorts have everything!  They’re what beautiful, feather weight  shapewear is all about by making you feel and look beautiful and not utilitarian pieces to remind you of your imperfections.  Shown: The Lilac Shape Shorts still available for £24.50, rrp. £89.00.

Marlies Dekkers Halo Set

During the Maralisha Sale I was able to pick up the Marlies Dekkers Halo set for 80% off and it is divine.  I love M|D edgy designs and the fact that it is truly meant to be seen, so how could I resist.  The Halo range was inspired by Saint Agatha of Sicily and uses blue mesh and flock prints of halos and stars over a stunning sea green, then outlined in sienna brown and topped with a blue satin ribbon corset effect.   This range can still be found on sale  on Canadian site Almost Naked and Netherland site POL (both sites are up to 40% off).

Julianne Aimee Chemise

I was able to find Julianne’s signature Aimee Camisole for only $40 (rrp. $108).  It’s just like the chemise only shorter and without the bow.  It’s made of French leavers lace and bias cut silk satin for an extremely flattering fit.  It’s perfect for an evening in or out (I paired it with black velvet Harari pant) over the holidays and the red sheen made my skin glow.  Right now at Australian site Julianne Boutique they’re having a great sale and if you sign up for the free VIP newsletter you’ll receive a $40 voucher code good for anything on their site -including sales items like the Helena Dressing Gown in French Navy (rrp. AUD $199) on sale now for AUD $99 and with code VIP40 it’s only $59 and $7 shipping to the US. Hurry this is code is valid only until March 31st.
