This weekend, my boyfriend took me to a New Jersey mall…and I didn’t automatically break-up with him. Surprising I know. I was commissioned to help him pick out some shirts, of course I said yes. If anyone strokes my fashion ego, I’m like buttah.

I even overlooked the horrifying comment that, “We should pretend to shop for wedding rings.” That was a tough one. I stood there all agape like he was wielding an ax or something. Yuck. Sorry about the tangent, I had to get that off my chest. It has been freaking me out all day. If you have any advice about this one, please feel free to comment.

However, we can talk about Mary’s adventures in sheer terror later, right now I want to share what I learned about boys and lingerie at the mall….in New Jersey. I pulled the boy into Victoria’s Secret for two reasons, the first being to distract him from the fact that by this point I was sweating heavily, secondly I had a yen for some “Sexy, Little Things.” While I had him in the store, I took the opportunity to ask him about kind of lingerie got him all hot and bothered.

I’ve always been a little hesitant to shop for anything but lingere at Victoria’s Secret because the clothing just seemed a little too Julia Robert’s in Pretty Woman.

The dresses were too tight and short, the tops looked a little out of style, and the pants just seemed…a little bit off. However, the temperature is spiking, bartenders are serving more and more mojitos, and it’s time to shed some layers.

Who better to consult for some cute summer clothing than the company which specializes in baring all? Be bold, you’re only young once and sag-free once.

Buy Fergie’s panties, you say? Are you just hoping they’re not the panties she peed in while onstage? Eww, I just grossed myself out. Anyway, you can get your own (new and clean) pair of these sexy panties from Shop Intuition. These Steven Alan Ruffle Panties are peppy and playful, yet sexy and innocent at the same time. They’re 100% cotton, super comfortable and perfect for under a skirt when you’re afraid you might flash someone. No returns on this item, obvi.

I’m a true believer that a girl’s fashion sense goes as far as her choice in panties (ew, I hate that word, sorry). But seriously, I’m someone who likes to sport stylish under-pinnings (much better) because I never know where I’ll be when I have to take my clothes off. I mean, I want to look hot at all times.

Now, I’m not one of those “my underwear always has to match my bra” kind of girls. But I’m really into being kind of stylish, if you will, when it comes to my undergarments — bright colors, lacey or silky fabrics. Get the idea? You definitely won’t find me in a poorly thought out cotton thong and holey bra, that’s for damn sure.

So since it’s officially been Spring for a few weeks (although the weather really hasn’t been reflecting that at all) and I can always make an excuse to spend money on myself, I did a little shopping for some cute undies and bras. UrbanOutfitters.com always has such wonderful, lovely, little vintage-esques numbers and I was able snag some very cute and very affordable pieces.

P.S. I’m not into granny panties, but these are great to wear to bed.
