Sparkling Gifts

Posted on June 17 2023

There are occasions that suggest gifts: weddings, graduations, birthdays, etc. And there are non-occasions that want a little gesture too. Just because. In my family the latter were called Thursday gifts. Something from the heart. Jane’s Vanity understands both types. And brings you glittering suggestions for all sorts of giving.

Happy

Posted on June 04 2023

Have you noticed? Your daily mix of JV lingerie is more fun and outrageous when you are happy. Suddenly unusual pairings suggest themselves. And you don’t mind showing them off. In fact, it makes you feel even more terrific to do so. Here we offer some lingerie scenarios. And speculate on the elation that prompted them.

Zoe, Stelios, Dawid

Jane's Vanity takes pleasure in introducing you to the work of three new designers. Each offers lovely and unique apparel pieces that delight our senses and match JV’s uncompromising standards of quality. The new garments will be arriving soon. Please meet Zoe, Stelios, and Dawid.

The Power to Disturb

Posted on May 28 2023

Beauty comes in many forms. Tricky to define, perhaps, but present all around us, nevertheless. Beautiful lingerie explains it all by whispering: slow down, enjoy this precious fleeting life. It can be disturbing to deal with beauty–but, in the nicest way. Jane’s Vanity brings us very special garments with the power to disturb.

These Black Stockings

Posted on May 27 2023

You’ll see them on daytime European streets this spring: enticing black filigree stockings. For now, they’ll be worn with a mini skirt and high boots. Later, they’ll look right with ballet flats. The delicate design of these stockings feels fresh–and even subversive in its femininity. Give the look a walk yourself in sturdier-than-you-think patterned black hosiery from Jane’s Vanity. Open the door to black stocking possibility.

Going Up?

Posted on May 21 2023

If you wear Jane’s Vanity, life cannot be boring. The same might be said of living in an apartment building with elevators. Never never boring. If you lived in a house, you might miss the opportunity to summon an elevator and find a dog standing all by himself inside. What to do? Well, he’s obviously going down. So go together.

Canyon Girl

Posted on May 20 2023

Spring is here. Time to exit the metropolis and be a canyon girl. One who greets each morning from the trail. And falls asleep beneath the dancing moon and stars. What to wear? Best straw hat, of course. And, above the boots and rugged denim, a breezy collection of Jane’s Vanity lingerie sets, tops, and coverups.

Mamma Mia!

Posted on May 14 2023

For Mother’s Day, put on your best Sophia Loren personna, and welcome everyone to Sunday dinner. What to wear? Well, something Jane’s Vanity, of course. It’s the perfect way to stir up excitement, add a pinch of glitter, and pass around the oo-la-la.

Secrets and Surprises

Posted on May 13 2023

When in doubt…Jane’s Vanity. Just because. Secret accessorizing is so empowering. Even if no one sees it but you. Although, someone just might. Jane’s Vanity’s lingerie is all about surprise. To look fabulous, yet stealthy. Wear what makes you feel both girly and wicked. It might not show. Except in your JV smile.

A Place in the Sun

Posted on April 29 2023

To shake off the last traces of a bad cold, whisk yourself off for a week of sun and surf. Pack your fluttery JV togs, book a lounge chair, and partake of the healing powers of paradise. Even if such a vacation is only in your stuffed up little head, who would argue that lingerie is the best medicine.

Scent of a Woman

Posted on April 23 2023

In the famous tango scene from the 1992 Oscar-winning movie Scent of a Woman, The Tango - Scent of a Woman (4/8) Movie CLIP (1992) HD Al Pacino’s character explains to his potential dance partner, “No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. It’s simple. If you make a mistake, get all tangled up, just tango on.” Let’s try it, in Jane’s Vanity tango-worthy black. With a spritz of perfume at the nape of our necks, of course.

Saved by Silk

Posted on April 23 2023

Planning a travel adventure? Sure, pack light. But, what if…? Don’t sleep in your underpants, when you can snuggle up in silk loungewear from Jane’s Vanity (also wearable for an impromptu cocktail party on the road). And don’t forget the JV “Last Night” lingerie piece. What is that? Read on…

Gelato

Posted on April 22 2023

Ciao, Bella! Get ready to welcome warm weather in the subtly fabulous colors of gelato. JV has the lingerie flavors for you. In Northern Italy this season, fashion is all about the pairing of solid colors. Take powder pink and add a neon yellow or mango gold. Lavenders might pick up a jungle green or deep plum.

Riotous Spring

Posted on April 08 2023

It’s hailing outside. But, on the horizon, is the dream of a spring garden. One to wear. Full of passionate color, romantic movement, and floral surprises. Jane’s Vanity welcomes this rumbling season.

Purple-luminescence

Posted on April 01 2023

An ocean away from one another, two JV design houses have created a little chemistry with their complementary approaches to purple. We call it purple-luminescence. Not only because the pieces from each house mingle so brilliantly with one another, but also because they seem to radiate with a natural glow.

New Friends

Posted on March 26 2023

This January, Jane and Emily joined the whirl of Fashion Week in London and Paris. They scouted new designers and had the pleasure of first-time in-person meetings with two JV favorites. The exciting garments that are the result of this field work are being fabricated right now. They will appear in the months to come. Meanwhile, here are their stories.

Coffee Culture

Posted on March 25 2023

Each morning is a coffee opportunity. Choose something dark, steamy, and creative. Then match your order to a companion piece from Jane’s Vanity. It will certainly offer a bracing Caffè Corretto--that little shot of something special.

Turn Of Phrase

Posted on March 19 2023

Have you ever been “seized by an uncontrollable desire?” In the glory days of MAD magazine, that would have meant being carried off by an amorous cartoon dragon in the regular feature Horrifying Clichés.* No problem drumming up a little spirit for fabulous new spring lingerie and loungewear from Jane’s Vanity!

Intermezzo

Posted on March 18 2023

In the theater, a dramatic moment can resonate even more strongly when contrasted with a quiet interlude. Lingerie lovers know the power of an intermezzo. Think accordingly, and reach for a delicious little surprise from Jane’s Vanity.

Life's a Banquet

So says Auntie Mame. We applaud her festive life philosophy. And, when a banquet actually comes along, we plan to be dressed and ready. In sultry silky party choices from Jane’s Vanity.

Silver Screen

Posted on March 11 2023

This spring, lingerie designers love the perfect polish of “Old Hollywood.” See it in Jane’s Vanity’s selection of slinky gowns, dancing skirts, tap pants, sparkling lace, and even gloves. We salute the actresses who brought these flawless styles to life on the silver screen.

Making Adjustments

Posted on February 26 2023

It is an art form to wear beautiful JV lingerie. No matter what. When our shapes change, after a diet–or a baby(!), we needn’t turn away from the lingerie side of our lives. It can change with us. Jane’s Vanity offers a few suggestions. As the song goes, “...the fundamental things apply, as time goes by.”

Deep V, So Free

Posted on February 25 2023

For weekend or vacation, nothing feels freer than a low-cut v-neck sweater and a high-neck Jane’s Vanity bra underneath. It’s BTN: “better than naked.” You know what we mean, neither quite dressed nor undressed. In other words, JR: “just right.” Choose one of JV’s exquisite new lingerie sets for a lacy (and uplifting) second skin.

Sweethearts

Posted on February 12 2023

It’s that time of year. February. Romance. Valentines. What message will you send to your sweetheart? Jane’s Vanity wishes you a sweet Valentine’s and just wants to say: LUV U.

Kiss me!

Posted on February 11 2023

Something Just for You

Posted on February 05 2023

For Valentine’s Day, or any day, romance yourself with a gift from Jane’s Vanity. Choose what makes you happy. And say to yourself, “It’s just what I wanted.” Your smile is a valentine for everyone.

Bread and Butter

Posted on February 04 2023

We learned to write our thank yous in grade school. But we learned to love writing them later on, when Jane’s Vanity came into our world. Each JV piece I own recalls a special event (or moment). Right now I’m welcoming the Meghan Luxe White Silk Crepe Gown into my social life. I look forward to the next JV treasure, just around the corner. You are the best, Love…

Love & Lib

Posted on January 29 2023

Freedom and love go, well, hand in hand. Love frees you up to see the world in a new way. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Jane’s Vanity offers a few examples of Love and Lib. When love is in the air, life is full of possibility. Stretch and grow with it. Wear it. And Happy Valentine’s Day from Jane’s Vanity!

Their visit will coincide with the Parisian celebration of Lunar New Year 2023, the year of the Water Rabbit. Agile and elegant, the Water Rabbit augurs a time of rejuvenation–and love. What a great sidekick. Let’s hop along…

Everything Goes with Champagne

Posted on January 15 2023

The color champagne is close to beige, with a little shot of very pale yellowish-orange. Like its namesake, it goes with everything and makes us happy. Need a New Year’s lift for your wardrobe? Sample a range of champagne hues in lingerie and loungewear from Jane’s Vanity.

High Lingerie

Posted on January 07 2023

Jewel-studded tiaras are said to cause headaches. No such issues for high lingerie. Instead, treasures from Jane’s Vanity are easy to wear (and love). One feels a certain freedom when slipping into the best. Here’s what makes JV lingerie so special.

Re-Chemise

Posted on January 01 2023

A new chemise is a building block. For everyday or for a special encounter. It is a pleasure to wear a chemise all by itself. And, when you’re in the mood, it looks great with a lovely bra, and, for your legs, some flirty stay up stockings. You can layer a chemise as an undergarment, blouse, flounce, tunic, bedtime companion. The day seems to begin and end with a chemise.

A Toast

Posted on December 31 2022

Here’s to you, baby. Here’s to us. Here’s to love. Jane’s Vanity wishes you all good things for the new year. Cheers to a few favorites to keep you toasty. And a big warm New Year’s hug from Jane’s Vanity!

A Bevy of Blouses

Posted on December 25 2022

A flock of doves is called a “bevy.” Picture them flying off together for a winter holiday in lightweight, colorful silk blouses. Then follow suit, in portable, versatile beauties from Jane’s Vanity. A little stack of blouses will synchronize your travel look and match your every swerve.

Velvet and Tea

Posted on December 24 2022

Let the winter night begin. Brew a divine tea. Then slip into something dark and romantic from Jane’s Vanity. As you inhale the tea’s fragrance, your senses awaken to the beauty of your garment. The evening becomes…a study in velvet.

The Fine art of Layering

Posted on December 18 2022

Why do we layer our clothing in winter? Because it insulates. Because it gives us flexibility. Because it’s fun. After all, who wouldn’t want to wear as many Jane’s Vanity pieces as possible, all at once? But, we needn’t look like snowballs while doing so. JV offers suggestions.

Postcards From Beret

Foggy

Posted on December 11 2022

How foggy is it? It’s so foggy that you can’t see across the street. It’s so foggy that your ceiling has disappeared. In the midst of a busy season, revel in a bit of stolen time. Enjoy it while it lasts by slipping into something nebulous from Jane’s Vanity.

The Colors of Smoke

Posted on December 10 2022

In winter, one wishes to be wrapped in smoke. To disappear into a landscape of blacks and greys and purples and blues. Jane’s Vanity designers weave romance from the ethereal colors of winter.

Please Take Care of My Orchid!

Sleep Suite?

Posted on December 03 2022

Dear Emily,

I dream of a “universal” set of JV travel sleepwear, always ready for my suitcase, no matter the season or climate. I want a robe too. Should be versatile enough for apparel, on occasion. Suggestions?

Love,
Sleepy in Chevy Chase, MD

Exquisiteness and Brevity

Posted on November 27 2022

Lingerie is political. Of course it is. But it is also philosophical. Because it suggests a way to live. With joy and punch and, well, simplicity. As the real Jane of Jane’s Vanity has noted, the idea of dressing is to become “a constant gardener.” To “elevate your sense of aesthetics and educate your eye to a connoisseur level of personal confidence.” The result is a sort of simplicity that is grounded in perfection. Jane’s Vanity chooses items with this in mind.

Brunch with Bridget

Posted on November 26 2022

One never feels more Bridget Jones than when entertaining one’s family for Sunday brunch. That is, more all-thumbs yet razzle dazzle. Jane’s Vanity comes right over to help out.

Liberty Style

Posted on November 20 2022

For many years, Jane’s Vanity has carried fine silk knits from Dana Pisarra, an Italian family-run artisanal manufacturer. Their body-hugging garments speak of Art Nouveau, with smokey colors, sinuous shapes, and lacey details. The Art Nouveau movement of early 20th century Europe was love at first sight for Italians. And they gave it its own special name: Stile Liberty. Yes, after the fabric store in London. Jane’s Vanity delves deeper.
