In certain ways, one-piece garments seem to make more sense for night than day. If you wear a nightie like the one above to bed, for instance, you don’t necessarily have to think about repeated runs to the ladies’ room. How annoying is it to wear a jumpsuit during the day and have to peel that thing off in a bathroom stall? Too much information, I know. This romper by The Lake and Stars could technically work for day or night, with its pretty satin ribbons and cool black piping. The Brooklyn-based brand has a knack for giving sexy lingerie ideas a contemporary treatment. Pair it with tuxedo trousers and a jacket for your hot Valentine’s Day dinner date. And then rock it alone afterward.
Today’s pick: For a Valentine’s Day romp

NYFW: Studio visit with Sophie Theallet
Sophie Theallet is having a moment. Not only is she a finalist for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award, but the former right-hand woman to Azzedine Alaïa has also gained entry into the hallowed group of Michelle Obama’s favorite designers. The First Lady has worn Sophie’s timelessly romantic, brightly colored dresses three times in the past six months (most recently on a trip to Martha’s Vineyard this week). I visited Sophie’s work studio/home in Brooklyn last month to chat about her upcoming spring 2010 collection and the influence of MObama.
