While it's difficult to play favorites with our inventory, from time to time a certain piece in the collection will catch our eye and we can't help but covet it. This week we want to highlight a newly recognized shop jewel. We fancied this special pair of slick 20s pajamas the minute we got our hands on them, with elegant rose patterned jacquard and satin ruffle bloomers what's not to like? However, it wasn't until we got the piece photographed that we fell head over heels. Seeing the set on the model revealed its expert styling and high fashion look. It immediately reminded us of the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 runways. Like the designer duds inspired by the style, this pajama oozes with the sophistication and sensuality of vintage lounge wear, yet it's chic enough to wear beyond the bedroom and out on the town.

Vintage 20s Pajama Set

The two piece pajama has a loose fitting, puff sleeve tunic top that ties fashionably at the waist. Satin balloon bloomers are cut wide for a billowing effect complimenting the belted top, while the ruffled elastic legs add texture and romance. The new old stock style was never worn and is in perfect condition, having disappeared in the abyss of storage for years only to come out of the shadows and back in style nearly a century later! The generous cut of the design means it fits a range of sizes from S/34 to XL/40, see the listing for specific measurements.

20s Vintage New Old Stock Bloomer Pajama Set

When you compare the vintage set with the Dolce & Gabbana runway styles, it's easy to see the designers' inspiration, and follow it back in time...

 SF Pride: 40 and Fabulous

There are few people better versed in a lifestyle of glamour than drag queens. These divas are experts on all things glamorous, from make-up to millinery, martinis to music, they know just how to live with the glittery extravagance and regal poise that define the very terms. This weekend San Francisco pays tribute to these leading ladies along with all other members of the queer community with its 40th anniversary of SF Pride.

All weekend long you will find an assortment of events ranging from concerts and cabarets to lectures and rallies. With over one million attendees this is the largest gathering of LGBT people and allies in the world! The festivities culminate on Sunday with the Pride Parade down Market Street. Led by the infamous Dykes on Bikes with this year's Grand Marshals The Backstreet Boys, Andy Bell, DADT-repeal activist Lieut. Zoe Dunning, and Pulitzer Prize winning author Alice Walker the event is sure to be a blast. The parade starts at 10:30 but it's best to get there early to stake out a good viewing space. Celebrations continue throughout the day in the Civic Center and into the night in the Castro.

So bust out your most fabulous ensemble and come out in support and celebration of the LGBT community in pure San Francisco style! For more complete details and a time-line of goings-on visit their website at sfpride.org.

The secret to looking great in your lingerie is feeling good wearing it. No matter how strappy, sheer or sassy your seduction outfit is, you have got to be comfortable and confident in it to truly embody your sexiness. This is why we love local San Francisco designer Mary Green's cotton camisole and pantie ensemble.

A customer favorite, the set is a modern and fashionable everyday basic, available now for the first time in a vibrant magenta. Combining romance with comfort the result is a tempting combination you can easily work into your daily wardrobe. Luscious cotton is especially soft and has excellent stretch for a perfect fit. The spaghetti strap camisole is sewn with flattering princess seams and the V-neckline is trimmed with an unbelievably soft lavender stretch lace. A matching peek-a-boo lace insert down the center gives the style a romantic touch and sets it in a functional category encompassing both intimate lingerie and everyday underwear.

This versatile cami is a great way to stretch your buck this summer. Not only does it add a splash of color to your office grays, peeking out from under a blazer during the day, it also freshens up your casual look when paired with your favorite jeans for afternoons in the park and can be worn all through the night as ultra comfy, not to mention sexy, pajamas.

Matching bottoms include the cheeky boy thong and the flirty full cut brief. Both styles look just as good as they feel and we are positive they will soon become top drawer favorites. Again, their functionality is exceeded only by their cuteness!

Hey fellas take note, this top-seller makes a perfect gift, it's flattering, fun and something your honey will definitely wear more than once.
