Your Velvet Holidays

Posted on December 15 2024

There’s velvet…and then there’s silk velvet. Silk’s addition to the weaving process allows a lighter and more breathable velvet. It drapes like liquid, and its glow lights up your face. See and feel the difference this season, in lustrous silk velvet garments from Jane’s Vanity.

On The Rocks

Posted on December 07 2024

Cheers to Jane and Emily for their discovery of the wonderful design house Karma on the Rocks. East meets west in the company’s mellow mix of softest loungewear in exotic patterns. A new holiday collection of silk and velvet has just arrived at JV. Let’s get acquainted with this woman-owned, artisanal, and sustainable new refreshment.

Steam Heat

Posted on November 30 2024

How will you keep warm this winter? Perhaps, like me, you’ve got steam heat, with its gurgles and bumps. Rather romantic to stand by the radiator and gaze out the window at the pouring rain. Even better when wearing something toasty from Jane’s Vanity.

Cashmere Coffee Date

Posted on November 24 2024

Your entrance to the little coffee bar was as mellow as a cappuccino. And just as sweet. Because, for this all-important first date, you’d wrapped yourself in confidence, courtesy of Jane’s Vanity’s breath-taking new cashmere collection from Arya.

Never Get Dressed?

Posted on November 16 2024

The latest loungewear arrivals at JV have me wondering if I could wear nothing else. Just day after day of pretty pajamas, seductive gowns, incredible robes. But, winter approaches. So I’ll let my loungewear be the first layer, in a style I call “the pleasure of undress.”

The Daily Air

Posted on November 09 2024

Diana Vreeland said that “fashion is part of the daily air.” In the sense that what people wear is a sign of the times–and what might be coming. Jane and Emily sense the vibe as they make their selections for JV. Let’s imagine what the fall/winter collection is conveying.

Twinkle Toes

Posted on November 02 2024

Just one word sums up this year’s fall/winter fashions: Accessories! To keep all those gorgeous hats, bags, gloves, shoes, and jewels in line, the key is a well-appointed leg. Stockings are essential for a season that feels both new and retro. And Jane’s Vanity is ready, with exciting hosiery from Italian knitwear-maker Pierre Mantoux.

Show Me!

Posted on October 27 2024

Eliza Doolittle, of My Fair Lady, had the right idea, when she sang, “Show Me.” She wanted a passionate demonstration of love, rather than a verbal declaration. But you needn’t sing about it. When the moment is right, just wear something talkative from Jane’s Vanity. And get the message across.

The Virtue of Daring

Posted on October 19 2024

Beauty is transformative. But so is daring. Just glimpse the awe-inspiring fall line-up from Jane’s Vanity. And be drawn into a world of daring, where you can aim high, love hard, feel joy. Try it.

Posted on September 29 2024

Perhaps you’ve seen cookbooks about taste that focus on sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and savory (umami). You want this variety of flavors in your diet. You might also consider how they inform your Jane’s Vanity wardrobe.

My Autumn Vista

Posted on September 21 2024

As I look toward fall, my favorite season, I see it clothed in chartreuse silk. The color of Chardonnay grapes at harvest time. I will be wearing chartreuse also, in the form of a beautiful gold-trimmed chemise from Jane’s Vanity. My autumn wardrobe begins here.

Hugs

Posted on September 15 2024

The dream for lingerie fit is an effortless embrace. One that gently molds and enhances. Jane’s Vanity offers not only beauty, but also an affectionate fit!

What Happens in Vegas

Posted on September 07 2024

All summer, girlfriends were slipping off to Las Vegas. Not to gamble, but to dance. Part of the allure was to plan a weekend wardrobe designed for afternoons by the pool and late nights on the dance floor of Sphere, a multi-media dome. Jane’s Vanity was up to the challenge.

A Little Shot of Chartreuse

Posted on August 31 2024

Although, yes, Chartreuse is a liqueur, it is its color that the fashion world is currently lapping up. The pleasing yellowish green of chartreuse was everywhere in Europe last winter and spring. It continues to charm. Imagine it lighting up your face and wardrobe. Better still, see its magic in new arrivals at Jane’s Vanity.

French Film Nostalgia

Posted on August 25 2024

French New Wave or “La Nouvelle Vague” films from the late 50s through 60s continue to influence our fashion style. Rejecting the big studios, directors worked with great creativity–and low budgets. The films often had a campy look. And actors wore their own mod clothing. Be the auteur of your own French experiment in Jane’s Vanity’s latest casual undress from French designer Vannina Vesperini.

Slip Dress, Inc.

Posted on August 24 2024

This blog is not about slip dresses. But, rather, about decorating slip dresses. Because the long fluid lines of a slip dress, from its spaghetti straps down to its around-the-knee hem, are a perfect backdrop for a “little something.” JV offers lovely ways to dress up your slip dress.

Morning Promise

Posted on August 18 2024

Make a date with yourself for early morning. Slip into something nice from JV and go about your daily beauty routine. See how it elevates your mood, your awareness, even your goals. We asked Friends of JV to describe how they glamorize their morning prep.

Playing With Our Clothes

Posted on August 17 2024

Jane’s Vanity’s beautiful silks stand on their own. Lustrous and often patterned, they make life simple. And yet, who could resist playing with them? Adornment is a happy means of self-expression. Which version of ourselves would we like to be today?

"Always"

Posted on August 11 2024

As I dress on a 104-degree summer day, I am reminded of the song “Always” by Irving Berlin. He wrote it for his wife, but it applies to me too. Because, no matter the temperature or the task, I wear nice lingerie from Jane’s Vanity. When camping, working at the food pantry, attending a NATO summit, falling in love…always.

Artisans

Posted on August 10 2024

To wear a Jane’s Vanity garment is to wear a blessing. As if its creators were telegraphing their vision and commitment through its threads. Imagine the quiet bustle of a distant lingerie atelier.

Summer Accents in Black

Mid-summer is the perfect time to underline your light and airy wardrobe with hints of JV black lingerie. Cut from black mesh or trimmed in black lace, it is not only the ultimate air-conditioning, but also the essence of “cool.”

Love Sandwich

Whether we’re happy or sad about love, only the radio seems to get it. Passion, sorrow, joy: it’s all there in the playlist. Torchy lyrics speak to our souls; soaring melodies become our theme songs. Jane’s Vanity dresses us to sing along.

Movie Messages

Posted on July 20 2024

Once in a while, a movie’s style will have such impact that it alters the culture. As a summer entertainment, Jane’s Vanity reminisces about a movie that changed the way we think about (and wear) our lingerie. In 1985, Desperately Seeking Susan created a style eruption. Let’s watch it again.

A Travel Panorama

The Three Graces

Posted on June 23 2024

In mythology and art, The Three Graces represent beauty, youth, mirth, and elegance. Picture three sisters, in a group hug, clad in the most sensuous of garments. Is it any wonder that we feel like goddesses ourselves, when attired in JV’s latest offerings of three?

A Quiet Afternoon

Posted on June 22 2024

Mother taught us to never be bored. Find something to do! We learned our lesson well. And always to have a Jane’s Vanity assortment set aside for amusement on a quiet afternoon. Of course it helps to invite a friend.

Come Back Different

Joyful

Posted on June 15 2024

The lovely JV underthings that we reach for each morning can set up our day. They are a joy in themselves, but they also recall happy memories–and create new ones. We asked some Friends of Jane’s Vanity (FJV) to tell us about their JV favorite pieces.

Cage-y

Posted on June 09 2024

Not quite bare, the “cage” garment creates an outline, sometimes with added netting, that enhances gowns, tops and trousers, or just your sweet self. JV has four easy pieces that flatter your assets while leaving a tiny something to the imagination.

The Novel Approach

Posted on June 08 2024

Writing romantic fiction might seem simple. But, like wearing fashion, it takes skill. We’ve found a novel that masters both. Prepare for a beach read that not only transports you to Paris, but also shows you how a dress can change your life. Jane’s Vanity has a way with dresses too.

Bedtime Story

Posted on June 02 2024

Make every night once-upon-a-time, in loungewear from Jane's Vanity. Escape to the land of dreams in sensuous sleepwear of cotton and silk. “And they all slept happily ever after…”

Neutral Street

Posted on June 01 2024

A new neutral is sending shockwaves through my wardrobe. It’s the color where dusty rose, mauve, and beige intersect. The Emma Harris label calls this color Clara Vintage Rose. And it looks brilliant with this summer’s golds and straws. Jane’s Vanity says, “Meet me on Neutral Street!”

Happy Associations

Afternoon tea can have many moods. It might be nostalgic, socially-nuanced, ravenous, or just a set up for seduction. The possibilities are as delightful as the aroma of Earl Grey.

Thanks, Mom

Posted on May 05 2024

Make Mother proud by always wearing nice underthings. Not just in case of an accident, heaven forbid. But because you might actually have to take your clothes off. For instance, at the doctor’s office, in a fancy fitting room, for airport security, or hanging out in the bridesmaid suite at a destination wedding. Here we offer some mother-approved Jane’s Vanity scenarios.

Alter Egos

You may seem quiet and business-like on the outside, but inside, ooh-la-la. Your choice of JV lingerie tells the story. What does it reveal? Keep them guessing, you versatile thing you, in stealthy silk and lace from Jane’s Vanity.

The Emmas

Posted on April 28 2024

At the Jane’s Vanity atelier in Portland, rails of garments from various designers co-mingle and make unexpectedly brilliant combinations. Two especially complementary labels have the same name: Emma Harris, whose jewel-toned silks come from Derbyshire, UK, and the Mediterranean-inspired Emma Ducci, based in the south of France. Emma, meet Emma. We already know you’ll look great together.

To Bra

Posted on April 27 2024

To bra. It sounds so intentional and grown up. As in: to launch a ship, to strut your stuff. To bra is a feminine act of confidence and self-love. Lucky us to have Jane’s Vanity to bra us along.
