An Ode to the Victoria's Secret Lacie Thong

When I love something, I tend to get a little over-excited and dramatic about it.  I just can't help it.  A great fitting dress, amazing blush or incredible nail polish can set me over the edge a little bit (with uncontrollable enthusiasm).

I recently realized I've never posted about the Victoria's Secret Lacie Thong and it's about time I give it a little time in the "things I love" spotlight.

Okay, so it's kind of weird to discuss undies on here, but I feel pretty passionate about these ones for many reasons, and I know a lot of women struggle to find that perfect, comfy pair, so here it goes.

The VS lacie thongs are basically a replica of the popular (but $18-a-pair) Hanky Panky thongs.  VS sells them 3/$30 which is a great deal.  They are "one size fits all," and come in tons of pretty and bright prints and colors.

So without further ado, here's a list of why I love them:

1.  They are the ONLY undies I can wear when I workout.  Fact.  They are comfy, don't ride up and you can hardly feel em'.  Plus, no panty lines in your fitted workout pants.

2.  They are pretty---sometimes pretty and practical just don't go together, but with these, you can have the best of both worlds.

3.  They are easy to care for and last a long time---I wash them in my regular cycle and then hang dry them. You can put them in the dryer, too, but I hang dry almost everything so it's just a habit.

4.  Did I mention pretty, bright colors?  I love that VS continues to offer these in various colors and prints each season.  If you're a frequent shopper, you'll also occasionally get coupons in the mail for a FREE lacie thong, which is the best thing ever.

Have you tried the VS lacie line? What are your thoughts?  Share in the comments below!

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: Will You Be Watching?

My husband just made the BEST dinner---grilled shrimp with steamed veggies.  He seriously has a gift for using spices because he always makes everything so flavorful.  It was the perfect post-workout dinner.

I had a nice intense session with my trainer tonight---there was simply no way I was skipping tonight's workout.

Do you know why?....................................

Because tonight is one of televisions most exciting nights (at least for me)

Tonight, at 10/9 c the annual VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW airs on CBS.  I DVR it every year and keep it there all year long---anytime I need a little workout motivation, I just watch it and immediately feel pumped to get to the gym. 

I caught a few moments of E! News before I left for my workout and they were showing the VS models working with their trainers before the show.  Of course models are genetically thin on the most part, but nearly everyday I see paparazzi photos of models like Gisele and Karolina Kurkova leaving the gym. It definitely takes some maintenance.

Last year VS held a competition for a new model to walk the runway---Kylie Bisutti got the lucky spot---they showed the girls working with celebrity trainer David Kirsch and the workouts he did with them were not easy.

Here are some images from this year's show (it is always filmed in advance): (pics: justjared.buzznet.com)

I don't want to reveal too many of the runway shots! I will post more once it has aired.

Do you plan to watch the VS Fashion Show this year?

PS---this isn't really an outfit of the day because I was literally running out of my house and didn't even have my camera on the right setting and didn't have any good lighting...but I wanted to show you ladies my sweater coat that I got at H&M! It's so comfy and doubles as a jacket here on chilly days.
