I’m decidedly pro-birthday. And pro-sharing of the birthday celebrations.
And what better way to celebrate my birthday than with a big 'ol sale on some new undies?
Queen of the Panty Line People!

She Rocks! Graduation Gift Goodness
It's tassel time! Graduation season is decidedly here. Commencement addresses abound (We loved John Waters' speech to RISD, and here's a great list of this year's other favorites.) and party invitations are flying around.
Our very own first gentleman of LVEO even successfully defended his master's thesis last week. So proud!
All this academic goodness got us inspired:![I've Got This, [Kicking Butt] & Taking Names, and the Boss undies from La Vie en Orange](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0942/6444/files/The-Boss-Ive-Got-This-And-Taking-Names-Underwear.png?11367992732871078965)
Surprise your favorite grad with a super useful and super fun present. Whether she's taking them to college or out on the job market, we're sure she'll face a day where she's happy to have this little extra bit of oomph on her side.
