    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.

    Revamp Your Top Drawer With Retro Lingerie!

    If the idea of retro lingerie makes you think of dreadful terms like "foundations" or worse, girdles, keep reading. Lacy little things have their place in many a top drawer, but retro lingerie, with a little more fabric and function, is just as alluring. Think along the lines of high-waisted panties and boyshorts, longline bras, tap shorts, and feminine ruffles- fun, right? The simpler shapes and modest cuts convey an innocence lost in the heaps of skimpy lace found in most stores these days, and even if you're far from innocent, it's fun to play the part every once in awhile. For a retro twist on a modern favorite, try Hanky Panky's hi-rise panty- it's perfect for high waisted jeans and skirts. Betsey Johnson's cami and tap pant set is a sweet take on this throwback trend, and if pale pink and ribbons are your thing, you'll love the charming 'Amelie' bralette from Undrest. Sure, these don't exactly agree with your SO's unofficial "less is more" mantra, but this was never really about them, was it? See the slideshow for my favorite retro underthings.

    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!

    In preparation for spring, we were all about the festive egg-dye pastels and quintessential floral prints, but now that the Easter bunny has come and gone, we at Stylehive are looking for fashion inspiration from some much more stylish critters. Animal print may scare off some traditionally demure girls who have always written off zebra, leopard, giraffe, and boa as patterns suited only for the tacky and fashionably loud and best left on the African Savannah, but the celestial spirits are here to prove that wild prints can be both sophisticated and sexy! For example, Virgos can look forward to brightening things up in an eye-popping orange leopard tank, while Aries girls will keep it subtle and classy in a printed party dress! Whether you're destined to sport stripes, spots, or scales, you're bound to look hot while walking on the wild side this week! Check out the slideshow to see what kind of animal print best suits your sign!
