    Lindsey Roscoe has been designing luxury intimate apparel for over 30 years. She began working from the time Farr West was established in 1974, along with her parents and co-founders Jack and Iris Farr. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University in Fashion Design in 1974, she and her parents began their enterprise, and by 1979 Lindsey was the head designer and had her own Lindsey Roscoe label. She worked with luminaries such as Roy Raymond, who founded Victoria's Secret. Under Lindsey's direction, Farr West has designed numerous collections of intimate apparel, from luxurious robes to sensuous sleepwear to everyday undergarments. When her parents retired in 2000, Lindsey took over as CEO of Farr West. Farr West has made its specialty luxury undergarments with a strong emphasis on anti-cling slips and camisoles. Farr West's three registered trademarks include Farr West, with a collection of essential garments like slips and camisoles, Lindsey Roscoe, specializing in garments trimmed in high quality lace work, and Lindsey Luxe, designer silk daywear, super soft sleepwear, and garments made of stretch, anti-cling charmeuse developed by Lindsey herself.

    Comfy And Non-Embarrassing Back-To-School Sleepwear

    As you're checking off your back-to-school to-do list, make sure you factor in the college student's favorite pastime: sleeping. Whether you live in a res hall or are off-campus with roommates, it's important to have some cute and comfy PJs to toss on. Why?


    1. Lots of people are going to be seeing these things (and I'm not talking about the people you bring home), so it's time to toss out the ratty high school t-shirts and invest in something cute.
    2. Lots of people are going to see you, so if you tend to sleep in the buff I'm pretty sure your roomie would much prefer to see you in some jammies than see your naked butt. Factor in the unexpected fire alarms and possible friends barging in at all hours of the night, and you're going to want to have something to toss on even if you have a room to yourself.


    Lucky for all of us, there are tons of options when it comes to cute and cozy PJs. No matter how much or how little you've slept in previously, there's something (or lots of somethings for those 6-week runs between laundry days) super adorable for you. And if you feel like channeling your inner Holly Golightly while your roommate studies 10 feet from your face, there's a mask for you, too. Check out CollegeCandy for some of their school sleepwear picks!

    Make Your Intimates Go Incognito With Our 7 Favorite ...

    Excluding those gals who have the unique ability (and required lack of shame) to go around commando on top, we've all found ourselves in the dilemma of finding a super-cute top or dress... but no bra to wear with it. Since I require some serious support when it comes to my undergarments, I've tried just about anything to make do with what I've got at the last possible minute -- sewing kits, safety pins (why did it take them so long to invent the Brabuddy?), tucking straps into my armpits, etc. -- but now that I'm a little older, I've learned that the easiest solution is to just shop wiser! Why spend money on a separate strapless bra when you could buy the ultimate convertible bra that's both strapless, strapped, racerback, and halter all in one? And instead of resorting to emergency double-stick tape for those how-low-can-you-go necklines, why not just buy a convertible plunge bra that can serve as your go-to undergarment for any cleavage-baring little number? Convertibility doesn't always equal convenience, however, as some crazily-shaped bras can sacrifice much-needed comfort and support, so I've compiled some of my favorites to weed out the good from the gimmicky! Check the slideshow for the best bra finds that will have you appear smooth and strapless in any outfit!

    Slinky Lingerie Sets For A Seductive Valentine's Night!

    As anyone who has ever been caught in the mayhem that is Victoria's Secret during one of their chaotic sales is well aware of, we girls love any opportunity to go wild picking out all kinds of cute panties and bras for ourselves out of a huge bin filled with a variety of mismatched intimate apparel. From boy-shorts to balconets and g-strings to gel bras -- if it fits, we'll take it! And sure, no matter how mismatched your underwear may be from day to day, I doubt your significant other has frequent complaints about the unrelated patterns of your upper and lower undergarments when he's lucky enough for them to make an appearance. And true, it's hard to find any pair of lingerie items, coordinated or clashing, that isn't alluring in some way or another (unless granny panties are your skivvy-style, but I'm not one to hate). However, Valentine's Day is a special occasion (or Valentine's Night, rather...), and as any man-friend will tell you, there's no sexier surprise than a matching set of fine lingerie. Whether your style is flirty, fun, festive, or straight-up sex bomb, there's a bra, boyshort, camisole, or corset set (some even complete with garters!) to match any personality, panty preference, or romantic atmosphere! As for those who are skeptical of the necessity of high-end, high-quality undergarments for such an occasion, your man isn't the only one who will appreciate the effort - you'll be surprised at how just knowing what's secretly hiding under your clothes will boost your confidence all day and put you in the right mindset for a steamy night!

    Italians have a few industries cornered-- shoes, food and now lingerie! Intimissimi broke on the scene in 1996 and has fast become a European intimates staple. And now, thanks to Victoria's Secret's exclusive distribution, you don't even have to cross the pond to get it! Whether it's a basic bra dressed up in pretty lace, or an extra strap added to a demi plunge bra, the details of this collection are flirty and feminine - perfect for Valentine's Day and everyday! I especially love the Orchid Silk prints - silky, and sexy without being too sweet, because as far as I'm concerned, on Valentine's Day, reserve that for the conversation hearts! Plus, with everything priced under $100, it's sure to keep your recession budget out of the red. Check out my slideshow for a more complete look at Intimissimi's line at Victoria's Secret!

    Printed Undies For Casual Fun Days!

    When thinking of fashion and intimate apparel, it's easy to get lost in a sea of sheer mesh, floral embroidery and frilly lace. Those of you who regularly read my biweekly posts here at Stylehive know that I'm a huge fan of beautiful, elegant and luxurious lingerie. So, I guess it's a bit of a confession when I say that I don't always wear silk and lace. I believe in matching my underwear with my mood so when I'm just hanging out in my apartment, it's all about casual, fun prints. I think the guys have the ladies beat in this department, but there are still plenty of fun ladies' prints out there! Check out the slideshow for a small sample.
