More Lingerie from Stella McCartney!

With the success of the "Daisy Dreaming" group from Stella McCartney's intimate apparel line, we decided to add the remaining pieces from her collection to our online boutique!
Now you can shop the rest of the Summer '08 groups such as Eve Giggling, Coco Blushing and Ava Swinging (certainly fun names to pick from!).
It's also worth mentioning again that the pricing for the Stella McCartney intimates is considerably well-priced when compared to the pricing of her ready-to-wear collection; a lot of our customers are pleasantly surprised to discover this!

Happy 4th of July!

I saw this adorable image on Absolutely Beautiful Things, and thought it was such a fun picture for the 4th of July. Hopefully you are enjoying a wonderful day in the sun! Have a lovely long weekend!!

Evidence of the Knickers Trend...

As a follow-up to yesterday's post, Katie (the lingerie expert at Knickers Bargains) informed us that showing one's knickers already is a trend! The trend was right there beneath our nose...but now the question remains, will the public pick up on these red carpet looks?
Considering that all of these images were found on the blog Go Fug Yourself (which features celebrity fashion blunders), we're going to suggest that our dear, fashionable readers stray from this trend. However, it does look SO pretty on the Christian Dior runway!
Thanks Katie for the great research!

Do We See a New Trend?

What's interesting is that we were just speaking with a customer about layering lingerie, and how to use it as an outerwear look or accessory. She said she understood how to layer and show off a bra, or wear a chemise as a dress or top, but she asked whether there was anything innovative with showing off sexy panties...and here we stumbled upon an answer. Looking at these images from the Christian Dior Fall 2008 runway show, we see a lot of peek-a-boo panties! We suppose if you want to show off your knickers in a sophisticated manner, this is it!
Granted, John Galliano has much more creative license on his runways than the average woman does wanting to make a fashion statement.
In the meantime, we won't suggest that our customers wear sheer skirts to show off their boyshorts...unless this runway trend catches on!
