A Story of Lighting, New Treasures, and the Joy of accepting Help.

Lingerie: Lise Charmel, Skirt: Fifi Chachnil

The Jane's Vanity e-boutique has definitely been a labor of love. We have been working towards it's launch for months now, and each step has felt like it's been miles long.

When we did the first photo shoot, I knew the process of perfecting the photos would be tricky. My experience with photo editing was limited, and never included armpits (now the bane of my existence). However, I was determined that I could do it on my own without help from anyone else. Very determined. The first photos I shot and edited were a true struggle, both due to my inexperience and - as I have now learned - the lighting. 

I am fortunate enough to be married to a man who has a lot of experience with all the technical aspects of production. Having worked on commercial shoots, as well as shooting and editing photos and video for his own theatrical productions, his response when I told him that I was doing another photo shoot was "Why don't you let me help with the lighting?" After a moment's hesitation (my determination can border on insanity), I agreed. Little did I know that he was going to save me hours of photo editing, and help make the photos from this shoot look spectacular - and professional. 
(The fact that our model was extra foxy certainly didn't hurt!)

Lesson learned, in spades. Sometimes I can't do everything myself, and accepting help from those around me not only saves me work and heartache, but also makes the finished product more polished.

With that introduction, take a peek at all the newly-photographed beauties, now up on the Jane's Vanity e-Boutique! These Spring treasures include lingerie & accessories from Fifi Chachnil, the ultimate waist-cincher corset from Cadolle, Swimwear from Andres Sarda and delicious loungewear from Underwriters and Lisa's Folly Luxe!

Andres Sarda: A Spanish Reverie

Andres Sarda 'Brassai'

If Jane must tip her hand, Andres Sarda is her favorite.

The colors. The textures. The sexiest panties in high-end lingerie, consistently. Jane's Vanity has carried Andres Sarda for most of our 21-year tenure, and when we began the process of launching our online store, one of our first  contacts was the rep for Andres Sarda, ensuring that we could sell their beauties online.
(They said yes. You can find Andres Sarda in the Jane's Vanity online store here.)

Andres Sarda 'Bourdain'
Andres Sarda 'Foster' Bikini

Founded in the 60's in Barcelona, Andres Sarda has consistently produced a stunning & unique collection using high-quality materials and undeniably sexy styling. Now designed by his daughter Nuria, the Andres Sarda still maintains the same feeling and style as when her father designed it.

Andres Sarda 'Bourdain'

Each season, Andres Sarda has a strong presence in our shop, and Spring/Summer 2011 is certainly no exception. The stunning Avedon collection has been sold through and reordered three times now, mostly in the striking Cocoa & Turquoise combination. Bourdain feels like summertime with it's macrame-inspired lace and sheer plunge cups, and Brassai has added a pop of Mandarin color to the simple shaped-cup "t-shirt bra" (Oh, that all t-shirt bras were this beautiful! We believe they should be.)


Andres Sarda 'Foster' Swimsuit

The swim collection from Andres Sarda is also exceptionally strong this season, between the flirty vintage-printed Hannah Swimsuit and the classic striped 'Foster' bikini & one-piece swim in black with cobalt-blue stripes (arriving Monday!) Who wouldn't want add this sexy Spanish styling to their time at the beach or poolside?



Our orders for Autumn/Winter 2011 are vast, as the entire collection was SO lovely. One of our absolute favorite videos (as also seen here) is of their fashion show for Madrid's fashion week - the styling, the hosiery, the lingerie! Take a peek for a sexy preview of what to expect from Andres Sarda this fall - online, and in the shop.
