You don't give much thought to what lies beneath. (Who sees it anyway?)

Well, you for one. Get your sexy back with Irely, Sarey Gernes' line of underwear. The name is a combination of her Irish (Ir) and Italian (ly) heritage.

The St. Paulite has lived across the country (San Francisco and Miami) and around the world (Spain and Amsterdam). She's not a fan of uncomfortable undies or carrying purses or stuffing ID and credit cards in your bra. So she created a thong with a wee back pocket for toting essentials.

Yes, a pocket. It holds anything from an iPod when you're working out to a hotel key to a glucose monitor. Plus they're really made in the USA and really pretty.

So you don't have to spare the intimate details.

Irely, $20 to $26, available at Design Collective (1311 26th St W, Mpls, 612-377-1000), Flirt Boutique (177 N Snelling Av, St. Paul, 651-698-3692, 651-698-3692) and Rosie Posie (14020 S Hwy 13, Savage, MN) and W7 Collective (1032 W 7th St, St. Paul, Feb 11 through 13 only) and online.
