With the change in seasons, one also sees a metamorphosis in fashion trends. Deep, rich and dark colours of autumn give way to brighter tones, colourful patterns and bold prints. Here are a few tips on what to expect this summer to keep your innerwear just as trendy and colourful as your outerwear.
Summer makes way for bigger, bolder and more colourful prints. Traditional brown animal print makes way for spots and stripes with tones of blue, pink, red and orange. Also, fresh on the scene are floral prints, both bold and delicate. Don’t miss out on bright prints with painterly digital florals all over the cups. While one can see small floral embellishments on lingerie, taking the spot light this season are big prints on the fabrics itself in hues of bright purple, pink, blue, and green. Brighten up your lingerie wardrobe with fun and girly polka dotted prints, not your traditional black and white polka dots, you get lingerie with white polka dots on colours like pink, yellow, purple.
This season opaque and thick fabrics take a back seat and to fabrics which are airy, fluid and have an element of transparency. Sheer fabrics make a big comeback this season with a tasteful play of soft fabrics such as diaphanous mesh and sparkly lace. Keeping with the trend, lingerie is now available in honey coloured tones of delicate fabrics that give you an element of sensuous transparency. Sheer and transparent cups in flesh tones with an overlay of delicate glittery lace add an elegant touch and highlight your curves better. Not only that, these fabrics work well for the hot summer and allow you to feel and look comfortable even in the bright sunshine.
Making it big this season are vibrant bright happy tones as well as honeyed muted flesh tones. Keeping with the freshness of summer, hot pink, sunshine yellow, tropical turquoise, fresh salmon and electric greens and coral are the hot colors trending now. Look out for glittery lace and hues of gold which add a sense of sensuality and style, accented with fresh salmon for a contemporary twist.
Another color trending this season are bright shade of orange, be it coral, tangerine or neon shades of orange. Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, these shades of orange are the hottest new colors trend for the spring and summer that will give a break to your wardrobe from all of those neutral colors. Fresh salmon is the new black this summer fashion is and adds the perfect pop to any simple outfit and can easily be made into a fashion statement.
As your wardrobe gets a makeover for the new season so does your lingerie! Don’t know where to start? Begin by discarding all old lingerie that you do not need anymore, this will give you a better idea of what key pieces are missing. Use our style guide to complete your lingerie wardrobe with the trendy and key pieces that every woman needs!

Interview with Chantal
Your work is a tribute to 18th century haute couture. When did you first become interested in this era of fashion?
Well… I wouldn’t say it’s a tribute to the 18th C; my work is inspired by the 18th C and the corsetry, in particular, as a jumping off point. I’ve loved period clothing for literally as long as I can remember. When I was in school it was the only aspect of history I found interesting. Whilst in school I would buy W Magazine and Vogue and, at the time, haute couturiers had a lot of coverage of their high end work in those magazines. A lot of it was very lavish and period inspired. Westwood in particular made an impression with her corsetry – the low necklines and cleavage enhancing shapes were so feminine and sexy.
You are a master of corsetry. Can you tell us about your background training in corsetry and period design?
Largely self-taught. I studied for a HND [Higher National Diploma] in Fashion. I didn’t study costume and was taught a certain amount of basic pattern cutting. But to make my own corsets I hit the books. I worked off a dummy, drawings of old patterns and the layout of the boning and drafted my own patterns. And the longer you make made-to-measure, the more you learn and [the] more fastidious and perfect the fit.
What influenced you to use your designs for a bridal business?
It started with my final collection at college. I wanted to do something that would benefit my portfolio moving forward. Grunge was in fashion and I was far more inspired by costume and haute couture. And it seemed to me that there was only one area where one could still wear such garments and that sector was bridal wear. And therein was sown the seed for a career in bridal design. Your label is mainly about bespoke wedding gowns and accessories as opposed to designing specifically for the high street.
Does that make it easier for you to bring your designs and imaginations to life?
How challenging has it been to swim against the commercial tide with such non-traditional designs? Swimming against the high street is fine, you carve a niche for yourself and for the like-minded women out there looking for what you do; and you only need enough clients to keep you in business. But getting press is difficult. Twenty years ago, no one did corsets or separates or colour so getting any press was really hard and getting into a photo shoot even harder. Certainly marching to the beat of my own drum means I make what I please and clients come to me because they love what I do; so when I work with them, I make what pleases us both. Win, win.

“Kawaii” Style: Japanese Lingerie at Amo’s Style
I never considered myself much of a shopper; least of all for lacy thongs and patterned corsets. And yet, I somehow found myself one Friday afternoon in a lingerie shop in downtown Nagoya, trying on various items, looking for something cute to buy. My friends and I talked on and off about going bra shopping while we were in Japan. This past weekend we finally made it out to Amo’s Style.
The retailer is an offshoot of Triumph International, a lingerie manufacturer founded in Germany in the late 1800s. The first Japanese location established in 1963. The company is one of the main producers of bras and sexy panties in Japan.
Amo’s Style is located in Sakae, one of the main commercial districts in Nagoya. It targets young women in their late teens and early twenties, though a store owner said that they have received patrons well into their fifties. The first thing I noticed about the lingerie on display was the quintessential “kawaii” style. Kawaii is the Japanese word for “cute,” but it has grown to encompass a much wider meaning: a cultural ideal of “cuteness,” expressed through the many facets of everyday life. Something that is “kawaii” is adorable, delicate, beautiful, and innocent.
The store was a sea of soft pinks, light greens and baby blues; pastel colors that give of the softness of something that is “kawaii.” The bras were designed to fit well and fully cover the breast; thongs – where they existed – had swaths of fabric to cover the hips and provide a hint of modesty. All were decorated: many with flowers, some with hearts, and several with bows.
Coming from America, this was not the image of “lingerie” that I had grown up with. Back in the states, I had learned that lingerie was worn to give a woman a sense of power by letting her take her sex appeal into her own hands. The images I had seen were pronounced with strong colors; black, crimson, and deep purple, colors that embody the ideals of passion, power and sexual intrigue. In Japan, it is an entirely different story. The women also strive for an ideal – but theirs is one not of power, but of delicacy. Not passion, but beauty. Not sex, but innocence. Neither is right or wrong; both are perfectly effective in the context of the culture that gave rise to them. Still, this experience has made me aware of the ways in which culture touches all aspects of our lives, even those that no one else (save that one special person) gets to see.

Paris Shopping: 10 Tips for Buying and Wearing French Lingerie
Paris Shopping: 10 Tips for Buying and Wearing French Lingerie
1. Avoid department store dressing rooms like the self-esteem-killing zones that they are. Fluorescent lighting makes everyone look a bit scary. Opt instead to NOT try them on in the store, but make sure they have a lenient return policy. Many stores will not allow you to return panties, so skip these stores if possible.
2. Go to small lingerie stores that have a knowledgable staff, low lighting and preferably champagne or wine (amazing how much better we all look after a drink or two). Let them recommend styles that look best with your body shape, and be honest about your concern areas. The best Paris shopping professionals will not tell you how great you look in everything you try on, but will help you mask the areas that make you feel a little self-conscious.
3. Be clear on “the purpose” of this ensemble. If it’s something you want to be able to wear under tight-fitting clothes, opt for seamless lines with proper support. If it’s seduction you’re after, go for all the bells and whistles, like ribbon ties, lace and frills, or dangling rhinestones. I recommend buying a silk robe to wear over your ensemble for nights of seduction, because I find that there is always that awkward moment when you try to figure out how to change into your sexy underwear. Do you reveal it when undressing, which doesn’t really work when there are lots of frilly attachments to catch on your clothes? Do you go into the bathroom and change when things start to heat up, killing the mood somewhat? Changing into your sexy underthings with a silk robe over them (yes, it must be silk and not flannel or Patagonia microfiber, heaven forbid) gives you a nonchalant way to maintain the mystery, yet set the mood.
4. When trying on lingerie, pointedly focus your eye on the parts of your body that you (or your man) love. Ignore all the rest (as he will). A critical eye and mind are seduction killers that can only be obliterated with confidence and self-satisfaction. Fabulous lingerie can only take you so far if you wear it under a cloak of embarrassment and self-criticism.
5. A saleswoman at Sabbia Rosa, one of Paris’s most exclusive lingerie shops, once told me that French men prefer white or ivory lingerie because it makes the woman appear “pure and virginal.” When choosing a color, make sure you can live up to the impression you are creating. Seductions have a personality, be it femme fatale, coquette, virgin bride, or dominatrix. Choose your lingerie accordingly.
6. Sometimes you want lingerie that simply makes your clothing look better. The one mistake I see over and over again with women in the States is not pulling the bra straps tight enough, thereby creating a sagging effect that lowers the breasts over the rib cage. One of the first things a professional salesperson who knows how to fit a bra will do is literally yank those straps as tight as possible. If the band and cup sizes are right, then the bra will not inch up. I rarely see bras in Paris, like I do in the States, that are built without a shelf-like support system, which does not allow for sagging. Indeed, this focus on pushing the breasts up-and-out in a natural, yet enhancing, way starts with French girls’ first “training bra.” Compare this popular French training bra with those we all had as young girls, and you’ll immediately understand what I’m talking about.
7. French women are known to match their sexy panties and bras ALWAYS and to wear, what we consider, “special” lingerie on a daily basis. A simple way to implement this is to never shop for an everyday bra and a pack of panties. Never. It’s a major mental shift for some of us who view lingerie as utilitarian and practical to the point of afterthought. But to Flirt Like a French Girl means to have a secret caché of sexiness that you can reveal at any moment. It is not only to pay attention to aesthetic details, but to revel in them as an outer sensual expression of an inner adherence to a personal code of unapologetic self-gratification. Everyday bras and interchangeable, dull panties are the plain dishes we use daily, while our lovely china sits unused, waiting for the proper and all-too-rare occasion. When we dull ourselves down to accepting “everyday” vs. “special,” we lose the opportunity to embrace pleasure in small daily activities and instead compartmentalize our sexiness and sensuality into specific time frames.
8. It is estimated that French women spend 20% of their annual clothing income on lingerie. This is, most importantly, an every-year annual expenditure, not a once-in-a-lifetime or once-a-decade shopping spree. Just as French women do not own any grungy, “headed to the grocery store”-type clothing, there is also no ratty, old-and-tired lingerie within hand’s reach. Lingerie is not allowed to fray beyond recognition, lose it shape to the point of pointlessness, and fade into a gray oblivion from its once pristine whiteness. We all know when a pair of shoes are past their prime, yet we seem to accept the wearing of lingerie that no longer shapes and supports us. Consider anything over a year old that has been worn frequently and for long periods of the day as past its shelf life and replace quickly.
9. Contrary to the media stereotype of all French women being thin and perfectly proportioned, many French women do indeed come in larger shapes and sizes. While large breasts are relatively rare here, due to less women having breast augmentation surgery, there are still French women who would be considered by any standard to be heavy-set or simply carrying a few extra pounds that they would prefer to mask. This is why every pharmacy and lingerie boutique sells control-top hose and body shapers in different “strengths.” Yet, even for these practical items, French companies have found ways to make them exceedingly sexy, like Wolford’s Shape and Control collection. For an easy way to introduce shapewear into your daily routine, replace your opaque black tights (you’re wearing those all the times like the French girls do, right?) with ones that have a push-up effect and control top. Wolford makes some of the best, and they make a huge difference in reshaping your contours. Why do they make them in extra-small and small, you might ask? Because even thin people wear them to control jiggle and enhance their curves.
10. While French women wear lingerie everyday that is, by most standards, finer than what most Americans wear on special occasions, they do also have investment pieces. These are items that are profoundly expensive due to the quality of the materials and limited production, but can be worn for years and never lose their timeless and classic essence. For me, Sabbia Rosa chemises and nightgowns exemplify French glamour, with their handmade lace and lush silks. The arrogance of all the designs being one-size-fits-all seems aptly French too, as if to say, “Why wear a style that really doesn’t look good on you?” One of the major transitions I made after moving here was to discipline myself into wearing a Sabbia Rosa nightgown to bed each night, instead of throwing on a discarded t-shirt with some sports-team logo that I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing in public. I challenged myself to wear it even when I was alone in bed, and that profound shift in what I wore to sleep changed my view on what I wore beneath my clothes during the day. Might I suggest that this is where you begin too?

Sexy Lingerie Line Naja Employs Single Mothers In Colombia
Catalina Girald’s quirky-sexy lingerie line, Naja, is the undies equivalent of Toms shoes, which donates a pair of shoes to impoverished children for every pair the company sells.
But instead of a one-for-one sales model, Naja employs single Colombian women who are heads of households. So every time you buy a piece of the collection, you’re helping someone to a better life — and maybe even improve the way you look.
Girald is one of only four Latinas in Silicon Valley with a venture capital-funded company. She said that while she was looking for an e-commerce opportunity, she found what she identified as a hole in the lingerie industry.“The lingerie market had huge potential but could use some serious innovation,” Girald, who received her MBA from Stanford, told Fox News Latino. “By the time I finished interviewing over 600 women, I found that most of them were largely dissatisfied with what they could buy in their price range.”
She found that the lingerie women could afford was often perceived by them as being cheaply made—even, Girald said, if it wasn’t.
Naja makes foundation garments in the same way as most major brands, the only difference is Naja’s garments are 100 percent cotton, including the lace (which gives the items a luxe feel). Naja’s bra cups are made from memory foam, unique interior bra prints, and ultrasonic sealed bra straps. Girald said that those kinds of details ensure that her retail prices are competitive with companies like Victoria’s Secret.
It’s a curious detail, but motivational quotes are sewn into the crotch of every pair of panties. What's her personal favorite? “He offered her the world, she said she had her own.”
The author isn’t known, but Girald does seem poised to take the world of intimate apparel by storm.“I found that women were not happy about the lingerie ads targeting them,” she said. “They’re all about big boobs and sex, not brains and professionalism. I thought, What if I could make a brand that tried to help women feel better about themselves?”
A percentage of every purchase goes to Naja’s “Underwear for Hope” program which is conducted in partnership with the Golondrinas Foundation in Colombia. Through the program, the company trains single mothers to sew and then offers them jobs, in the hope that they can improve their lives and those of their children.Naja also gives customers a “lingerie wash bag” that’s made at home by one of the women employed through “Underwear for Hope.”
The question is: Can a fashion line that offers inspirational quotes printed on the crotch of its underwear with a business model dedicated to give working moms in Colombia a step up compete in the bare-knuckle (and bare otherwise) lingerie business?
So far, the answer is a qualified “yes.” Since its mid-December 2013 launch, the company has made over $50,000—all online and with zero spent on advertising. “We’re actually almost out of product,” Girald said.The next Naja collection, she said, will pay homage to the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
But instead of a one-for-one sales model, Naja employs single Colombian women who are heads of households. So every time you buy a piece of the collection, you’re helping someone to a better life — and maybe even improve the way you look.
Girald is one of only four Latinas in Silicon Valley with a venture capital-funded company. She said that while she was looking for an e-commerce opportunity, she found what she identified as a hole in the lingerie industry.“The lingerie market had huge potential but could use some serious innovation,” Girald, who received her MBA from Stanford, told Fox News Latino. “By the time I finished interviewing over 600 women, I found that most of them were largely dissatisfied with what they could buy in their price range.”
She found that the lingerie women could afford was often perceived by them as being cheaply made—even, Girald said, if it wasn’t.
Naja makes foundation garments in the same way as most major brands, the only difference is Naja’s garments are 100 percent cotton, including the lace (which gives the items a luxe feel). Naja’s bra cups are made from memory foam, unique interior bra prints, and ultrasonic sealed bra straps. Girald said that those kinds of details ensure that her retail prices are competitive with companies like Victoria’s Secret.

Men Want From Women but Are Afraid to Ask
Most of the things that men are scared to ask women concern, you guessed right, sex. In particular, men are usually curious about what they would want to do or experiment with in bed in order to gain more satisfaction from their sexual relationship. At times the curiosity is a result of some deep-rooted sexual fantasies but for the most part it is a result of stuff men come across in magazines or videos. Men, you should know by now, are visual beings and when it comes to sex they are attracted to sexual images.
Apart from sex, men are also afraid to ask about some habits of the female species that they consider bizarre. These include some dressing habits as well as the way women communicate (or fail to communicate) with men. Most of these habits may be considered trivial but they, really, are a mystery to men.
Trivial or not, these things have one thing in common: men just cannot bring themselves to ask about them because they fear that doing so will affect their relationship with their woman. For example, there are issues that men will never ask because they are afraid that such questions or requests may be considered demeaning to a woman’s dignity. Men will also avoid making certain requests because they are afraid of being turned down.
Considering that each man is different, the list of issues and questions that men keep to themselves can be as long as the list of men that have ever walked this earth – if not longer.
Some men would be very pleased if their woman did a strip tease for them with pole and all. Others would prefer a catwalk or a lap dance. The thing is that all men feel great when their woman does something sexy for them – puts on a sexy dress at home, or indeed, lingerie.
While most women would find no issue with putting on lingerie or wearing some sexy dress just for their man, some women may find doing a strip tease demeaning. That is why we never ask – we do not want you to feel demeaned.

5 Tricks on How to Make Your Honeymoon Romantic
Remember that you need to put some effort into this. Even if you choose the most romantic place on the planet and just sit there and wait for something to happen, you’ll only have a plain dull honeymoon. Decide to do something extra and something new instead and really make your honeymoon one of a kind.
1. Choose a Good Place
Choosing a good place to go to for your honeymoon is of course one of the most important things. Unfortunately, for most of us this decision greatly depends on our budget. Still, you can choose a good romantic place even if you’re on a low budget. Here’s how.
You don’t need to go to Bora Bora or Hawaii for your honeymoon. Of course that it would be great, but it really requires a bigger budget. You can have a wonderful time anywhere else in the world. Choose a European city, like Prague for example. It is not expensive and it is very romantic. Or simply go to the nearest mountain, village or a lake and rent a cottage. Make sure that you and your new husband are going to be alone there, you are on your honeymoon after all, and enjoy eachother’s company. That’s all you need.
2. Fun During the Day
You can’t expect your honeymoon to be a great one if you don’t plan it well. Wherever you are going, you’ll need to fill each day with fun things to do together.You may not like this, but this means that you can’t go to Paris for your honeymoon and plan a whole day of shopping. I know, it’s every girl’s dream, but you can’t expect your husband to be excited about that. I mean, come on – no guy likes shopping.
Talk to your husband and plan the honeymoon together with him. Choose a place and agree on things you would like to see and do. You’re not going to just stay in the room and make love, although there’s nothing wrong with that. If you’re already travelling, use that time to see some new things. That’s a honeymoon to remember.
3. Sexy Lingerie
It’s your honeymoon after all, and a big part of it will be revolving around sex. It’s funny, but newly married couples have this feeling like they’ve never had sex before, and usually can’t get enough of each other on their honeymoon. Spice it all up with some sexy lingerie.
Depending on how big your budget is, you can make several outfits. Make sure to have something completely white, to initiate the feeling of a first time. After all, it is the first time you’re making love as a married couple. Also, get a black or a red outfit for a night of steamy passion and, if you’re into it, something completely crazy or funny, like a French maid costume or anything else you and your husband are into.
4. Little Romantic Surprises
How do you feel about setting a little romantic surprise for your husband on your honeymoon? You’ll have to think it all through even before you go and only leave the smallest details for the actual place. Here’s what I’m thinking about.
Arrange a romantic breakfast by the beach for you and your husband only. Talk to the waiters and the personnel of the resort you’re staying in and arrange it all without your husband knowing. Wake up before him and leave him a note on the pillow that you’re waiting for him at the beach. You can even leave paper arrows for him to follow. Wait for him at the table set with good fresh food.
When you come back from the beach in the late afternoon, shower before him and while he’s in the shower set up romantic mood in the room. Order room service, some strawberries and champagne and wait for your husband wearing only an easy-take-off night gown.
5. Try Something New
One of the greatest tricks to have a romantic honeymoon is to be open to trying something new, and I don’t mean only in bed, although I do advise that as well. I mean try one new thing every day of your honeymoon.Try a type of food you’ve never tried before. Be open – minded even to insects and similar stuff. Who knows, you may even like it. Just make sure you’re eating at good restaurants, nothing can ruin your honeymoon like food poisoning can.
Also, try a new drink. Local alcohol is usually always a good choice, just don’t have too much of it.Try a new ride if there’s an amusement park somewhere near. Try a new sport. Go bungee jumping or skydiving. Fly in a tandem paraglider. Do something you’ve never done before and you’ll remember it as a fantastic thing you’ve done on your honeymoon for the rest of your life.
So, what do you think now? Can you make your honeymoon romantic? Of course you can, with just a little effort! Make it a honeymoon to remember!

5 Tips for wearing lingerie made for women
Finding the right fit
It’s important to buy underwear that fits you properly. Panties which are too tight can leave you with unwanted bulges and muffin tops and even with the dreaded VPL (Visible Panty Line). Bras that don’t fit will be uncomfortable if they are too tight or you may lose your extra padding if they are too loose whereas well chosen and properly fitting lingerie will help to define the figure you want, keep you comfortable and hide any bulges.
How big you want to go
Finding the correct bra size for the look you want is relatively easy if you know how. Measuring yourself correctly is the first place to start you just need to decide on whether you want to look demure, curvy or voluptuous. This will determine the cup size you choose, for instance, choose a B cup if you want a subtle demure look, a C-D cup for a more curvy look, or for the fuller, more voluptuous look go for a DD or larger cup size.
Your personal taste
You have to decide if you prefer something plain and subtle or something more racy and lacy. Your personal taste will determine if you choose to wear frilly knickers for curvier hips or a thong to disguise any VPL. Would you like comfort over style or is the most important thing to look sexy? Choose the lingerie that suits your style best.
What you wear on top
Choosing the right sexy lingerie to wear beneath your outer garments is very important. If you want to disguise the fact that you are wearing lingerie under your everyday clothes then you should choose underwear that has a smooth finish such as T-shirt bras and French cami knickers. If you want something special you could opt for a lovely lacy plunge bra and frilly knickers. Colour should be a consideration too, don’t choose a sexy red to go under your crisp white shirt!
Choosing a supplier
Choosing the right supplier is important. Unless you enjoy shopping in person, online shopping may be the best option for you. Choose a supplier like Wishes and Kisses who will not only send your lovely lingerie in discreet packaging with no obvious branding but they will also be happy to tactfully answer any questions you may have regarding size, style and fit. When you purchase lingerie always try to choose quality garments as they will last you much longer than cheap underwear which will lose its shape quickly meaning that you won’t enjoy wearing it.

6 ways to wear pretty lingerie for yourself
There are plenty of tips and advice to find that perfect pretty lingerie for your partner, but what about wearing that silk nighty to bed or stockings under your dress just for yourself? Wearing lingerie can be about so much more than sex - it can be a form of fashion and self-expression that can be true to your style. Looking and feeling beautiful and confident can surprisingly come in the form of sexy skivvies and lacy underthings. There is something about pretty lingerie for your eyes only that will give you the ultimate confidence boost because you are doing something solely for your beautiful body.
1. BUY SOMETHING YOU LOVE
Your partner probably loves any lingerie surprise, but what about surprising yourself? Lingerie is more than just bras and panties. Corsets, garters, teddies, robes, hosiery, and slips are all a part of the lingerie wardrobe to mix and match to your liking. Lingerie is never limited. Maybe your splurge is one pair of silk panties or a super fluffy robe. No matter how much you spend, buy something that will make you truly excited to wear. Pretty lingerie and intimates is a different vision of beauty for everyone. I personally feel like there is nothing better than having my coffee in the morning in my favorite baby doll and slippers.
2. CHOOSE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Lingerie is a sensory experience. Once you can find the real deal of lingerie pieces, you will know the difference between a bra and an amazing bra with a flattering fit. Invest in undergarments that will last, fabrics that make you swoon, and colors to play up your personality and mood. Check out a lingerie boutique or a designer department store for a good selection of high quality styles. Most of the time, there is a sale section to stay on budget. Lingerie needs as much TLC as your wardrobe and shoes. Take care in the direction of each piece and wear them again and again.
3. INVEST IN SHAPE WEAR
One of the most profound moments in modern day lingerie history, is the invention of the Spanx by Sarah Blakely. Made of super high quality micro fiber to slim the tummy and legs, Spanx comes in all different silhouettes to help women feel more confident and amazing underneath clothing. Offering a seamless look with no panty lines, celebrities can't get enough of these body shapers on the red carpet. If you are feeling bloated, have an event coming up, or maybe even having a bad day, shimmy on one of these under a dress or blouse and you will feel like a million bucks. There are also other shape wear brands besides Spanx if you find something that works just as well!
4. CHOOSE COMFORT
This goes hand in hand with choosing quality intimates over quantity. You don't want to be pulling and tugging at your undergarments all day long. There are plenty of comfy styles that offer support but still stay true to a flirty, romantic, and sexy look. Lingerie can help you feel comfortable in your own skin because you bought this for yourself. The element of mystery and comfort underneath that power suit at the office, or having drinks with the girls, can make for your very own secret.
5. INVEST IN BARELY THERE LINGERIE
Strapless, backless, and sheer styles can be a flirty dressed up or down look. However, there is nothing more unflattering or annoying than a bra strap peeking out, or a bra that keeps falling down. Strapless bras are always the go to undergarment for a strapless style, but other alternatives are much more comfortable and fashionable. Lingerie tape is an absolute investment because it does more than just keep the girls in place. Lingerie tape can keep a backless dress safe, fix a falling hem, cover a little too revealing wrap dress, or fix a shifty skirt... and so on. Another amazing bra that can do it all is the Nu Bra by Fashion Forms. Made of extremely light and soft natural silicone, these cups stick to your breasts and stay on all day and night. The super comfortable cups also allow a full cup enhancement and cleavage with the front closure.
6. EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT STYLES
Just like shopping for clothing and shoes, you know which stores you like and don’t like, which brands are your favorite, and what size you wear. Treat sexy lingerie the same. You need to check out the competition, scope out the prices, and try things on! Lingerie boutiques are my absolute favorite because of the selection and customer service. If a boutique isn’t an option, don’t be afraid to ask for help with sizing and finding the perfect style for you. A lingerie shopping experience should be something fun and special for you. There is absolutely no reason to feel ashamed or uncomfortable.

Latest lingerie shopping tips
Lingerie shopping can sometimes be just as dreaded and painful as bathing suit shopping. It can be hard to find what fits you right, what makes you feel beautiful and confident. And what originally started out as something you were excited about, can quickly turn into feeling defeated and unattractive.
So the first step to successful lingerie shopping is to make sure you have your correct measurements. Look online to see how to properly measure for your bra size or head down to a department store and have one of the sales associates help you out. Tackling that beast can ensure that the top of your lingerie fits and falls right. You don’t want to look like a sausage squeezed into your sexy little number, but you also don’t want to be swimming in it either.
Secondly, figure out what colors look best on your figure. If pinks and reds bring out the glow in your cheeks, or black makes you feel slimmer, opt for those colors. If green or yellow washes you out, stay away. Apply the same color theory you use in your everyday clothing to your sexy lingerie to bring out the best in your skin tone.
Next, you should spend some time online looking into different styles of lingerie and fashion. See what style speaks to you the most. Are you into the vintage and pin-up girl look? Do you like pretending to be someone else? Are you into leather and corsetry? Find a style that you feel would make you feel the sexiest and that your partner would like and then tweak it to fit your shape and personal style.
While there are some brick and mortar lingerie stores, you tend to find the best deals and choices through online shops, but ordering before trying on can be a little nerve-racking. If this the case, head to your nearest department store and find a garment that has a similar cut to it and find your perfect size. Get all of the sizing info you can from the tag and then apply it to your online purchase. Also, by ordering online, you can try it on in the light that you will actually be under and won’t feel rushed. This will allow you to really pinpoint what you do and don’t like about it, which can help in future purchases.
Just try to have fun with it, think outside of the box and your comfort zone and be patient—finding the perfect piece can take time. If you’re looking for great online options, I recommend heading over to Adam and Eve, where they have lingerie for everyone’s tastes.

Find a style that you feel would make you feel the sexiest and that your partner would like and then tweak it to fit your shape and personal style.
While there are some brick and mortar lingerie stores, you tend to find the best deals and choices through online shops, but ordering before trying on can be a little nerve-racking. If this the case, head to your nearest department store and find a garment that has a similar cut to it and find your perfect size. Get all of the sizing info you can from the tag and then apply it to your online purchase. Also, by ordering online, you can try it on in the light that you will actually be under and won’t feel rushed. This will allow you to really pinpoint what you do and don’t like about it, which can help in future purchases.
Just try to have fun with it, think outside of the box and your comfort zone and be patient—finding the perfect piece can take time. If you’re looking for great online options, I recommend heading over to Adam and Eve, where they have lingerie for everyone’s tastes.

Lingerie Fashion Week Dates for SS15 Season
Lingerie Fashion Week, the first Fashion Week worldwide exclusively created for intimate apparel brands, returns for a fourth consecutive season this Fall. The SS15 season will be held October 24th and 25th at Center548 in the heart of Manhattan’s gallery district. Merging the lingerie, fashion and creative communities, the bi-annual event will showcase a mix of emerging and established designers along with industry complementing sponsors throughout a series of runway shows, presentations, special exhibitions and installations.
Previously timed alongside the intimate apparel tradeshows, October marks a shift as the first time the event is placed within Fashion Week season. Taking place shortly following Paris Fashion Week, the move optimally times shows for maximized press attendance and coverage as well as further aligns the event with the greater fashion industry. Lingerie Fashion Week Founder & Executive Producer Lauren Rich explains: “We are very pleased with the decision to move the event in line with Fashion Week season, in a further effort to achieve our core mission of merging the sexy lingerie, fashion and creative communities. We want to bring lingerie out of the niche it is so often cast into and elevated to the forefront of the greater fashion playing field. The new dates truly optimize the event for powerful publicity results at a scale even greater than previous seasons.”
The move also ushers in unique potential for participants to showcase current season offerings as an alternative to next (SS15). “As we are also now timed just in advance of the Holiday season, we do expect to see a higher volume of participants showing same-season to take advantage of an immediate Holiday sales push.” Rich projects. Presenting newfound versatility, the event is now optimized to not just brands but also retailers and other direct-to-consumer platforms who may want a publicity push just before Holiday.
Runway or Presentation still stand as core ways to show, or participants may elect a combination of both. Group options are also available including a Made in the USA Runway Show and the return of the Ones to Watch Special Exhibition, both specifically geared towards emerging and independent designers. Ones to Watch is additionally ideal for international brands or those unable to attend on-site, as participation can be executed remotely. Alternative marketing opportunities and sponsorships are also available in lieu of a show.

Sonata Dolls up Home Show in London
The Ideal Home Show at Christmas was the ideal place to be this November 13 – 17, 2013. A spin off from the more familiar, Ideal Home Show, this Christmas exhibition took place at Earls Court Exhibition Centre in the heart of West London.
The show hosted around 650 exhibitors with an estimated footfall that was set to reach over 85 000 and featured eight themed sections including Fashion & Beauty. Ultimately, the show was designed to be the ultimate one-stop destination for Christmas shoppers. I had the pleasure of attending the Wednesday show and was not disappointed. With “snow” carpeting the entrance to the building and Santa’s sleigh parked out front, I left with a keen sense that Christmas is coming!
And if, by chance, you were wondering what party dress and underneaths to wear for the holidays, then the Fashion & Beauty section provided some dressing up solutions. In fact, the catwalk show was the place to be, where the latest Autumn/Winter trends were flaunted.The live Christmas Catwalk show was sponsored by luxury car mogul Lexus and the show was as lux as the car that was on display next to the stage. Held under the theme Models of Diversity the event showcased the beauty and talent of models of differing ages, dress sizes, and ethnic backgrounds.
Names like Soboye, Dea (London) and Audre Nicole made their presence felt on the catwalk but the show stopper, by far, was the sensuous, heady and jaw-dropping collection by Sonata Lingerie.
Russian designer Sonata Rapalyte set the runway alight with an ultra-feminine collection of lace, satin and chiffons. Sexy sets as well as luxurious lace body suits in a soft palette were paraded down the runway, some with tantalising corseted backs fit for a front cover heroine.
Models dazzled the eyes in see through floral garland styled lace body garments that fitted and flattered every curve and left very little to the imagination. Sensational sets in pink, turquoise and gold and the richly coloured Elektra set in navy and fuchsia- with its semi-ribbon back sexy panties- injected sparks of colour into this very pleasing collection.

The sexy-casual theme by adding up sensual lingerie
When the beauty is there and the lighting feels so surreal, it’s almost impossible to pay attention to any of the other elements that could easily drag you out of the nostalgic and serene mood recreated by photographer Aaron Feaver in this editorial shot for Cake Magazine. Experiencing life on the road, model Avery Tharp plays charming and nice without letting go of her sex-appeal.
With nothing but a cozy cardigan and a pair of over the knee socks on, Avery evokes comfort and ease right from the first pose. From there on, stylist Chloe Chippendale further explored the sexy-casual theme by adding up sexy lingerie, ripped t-shirts, distresses denim shorts and a beautiful floral print crop top to the alluring picture dipped in faded colors. And everything feels effortless, untamed, almost intimate.

Penelope Cruz's Lingerie Ad
Penelope Cruz knows a thing or two about being sexy. Still, we didn't expect her latest film project to be writing and directing a rather racy lingerie ad.
Cruz and her sister, Mónica Cruz, have teamed up with Agent Provocateur for L'Agent, a lower-priced diffusion line from the Cruz sisters. For what the Telegraph reports to be a five-year partnership, Mónica and Penelope will design the pieces, name them and, of course, market them with their famous names and faces.
Starting with a video ad that is as sexy as the sisters themselves. Mónica, who appeared in Agent Provocateur's Fall 2012 campaign, makes a cameo in the six-minute video, but Irina Shayk is the one with the starring role.
The basic plot: Spanish actor Miguel Angel puts on a magical pair of L'Agent sunglasses and suddenly can see all the women around him without their clothes on. Oh, and they all happen to be wearing insanely sexy lingerie and writhing around, feeding each other, making out or hosing each other down.
Seductive and sexy or lecherous and creepy? You tell us -- maybe Penelope Cruz has a future in directing lingerie ads full-time.

Sarrieri’s SS13 Collection
Lingerie addicts often dream to own sets from the likes of Myla London, La Perla, and I.D. Sarrieri. When presented with the opportunity to obtain a very special gift from I.D. Sarrieri’s SS13 collection, my heart beat pulsed and the lacy goodness in me glowed with satisfaction. Flipping through the Spring/Summer catalogue I found it difficult to pick just one piece as they were all so uniquely exquisite. Dare I pick a statement corset, sensual lace body suit, or a more practical but still as utterly wonderful bra and brief set? Long story short (or long in my mind as I pined over the catalogue pages for what seemed like hours) I finally decided on practicality. My heart had been stolen by the Belle Du Jour half-cup underwired bra and brief with flirty straps and Chantilly lace detailing edged with fine rose tulle.
A quick email off to request my sizes (32B, S) and the wait began. I kept fearing that the bra would end up being too big. It is always a gamble with new brands whether I will fit a 32B or 30B cup better. However, when the package arrived pristinely wrapped in a black and white I.D. Sarrieri box my worries vanished because all that matter at that moment was putting on the gorgeous set that had been sent to me.
Door checked and locked I stripped down and tentatively slipped on the rose tulle briefs with Chantilly lace detailing on the back. Perfect fit! I spun in a circle in front of the mirror and marveled at how beautiful the briefs were.Moving onto the bra I started to panic. The cups looked a tad bit big but once on and straps adjusted I sighed will relief. It fit. I felt so incredibly empowered simply by seeing how great I looked in the set. The bra has slight erotic hints with the black strap detailing which is softened by the romanticism of the Chantilly lace. The combination with the sexy panties and it is clear this set calls for attention. Bold and beautiful. Soft but edgy. I feel like I’ve had my persona compiled into one set.

SOL Lingerie Honored by Marie Jo
Lingerie boutique, SOL Lingerie, is being honored by one of its top, internationally known designers, Marie Jo, which has named this spring’s Daisy bra after SOL Lingerie.
The first-of-its-kind yellow SOL Daisy collection will be in store the week of April 14, 2014 and SOL will celebrate the new daisy with a special event April 19, 2014. The SOL Daisy will be in store for a limited time, for as long as supplies last.
“For 17 years SOL Lingerie has been one of the only sexy lingerie shops in Denver to carry the Daisy bra by Marie Jo,” said Cindy Johnson, SOL Lingerie co-founder and expert bra fitter. “Many women shop at SOL religiously, just to get the new, seasonal Daisy. That makes the naming of this season’s yellow Daisy an incredible honor.”
To celebrate the new SOL color Daisy bra, April 19 is officially designated “Crazy Daisy Day” at SOL Lingerie. On that day, SOL will be brimming with daisies, as 275 oversized faux daisies will be planted in front of the store in Cherry Creek.

Anita’s Aurelia Range
Anita recently released its new Aurelia range which aims to fill a woman’s day-to-day intimates wardrobe with more fashion-forward options. Part of the brand’s Rosa Faia division, the new Aurelia range offers the company’s basics — an underwired bra (available up to an H cup), soft bra and matching thong, briefs and high waisted briefs — in delicate and feminine styles.“The new series combines romantic, luxury lace with a new level of comfort. An all-over lace is used that is especially fleecy on the back and feels pleasantly soft -– a special Anita development,” said the company.
Aurelia’s moulded underwire bra is available up to an H cup. Features include a shaping but adaptable c-shaped underwire which varies in thickness depending on the size. “The large cups and sizes benefit from a particularly pliable Ergoline underwire and the padded underwire band lies gently on the skin. An crescent section integrated into the side provides additional support in the underwired bra in the large sizes – with an additional positive effect: the bust looks smaller,” noted the company. Style and fit were paramount to the company in the design of Aurelia’s moulded underwired bra and soft bra: a stretch beaded band frames the neckline through to the end of the straps. The straps match the cups with all-over lace and are particularly flat at the front join. Depending on the size, the strap is either straight and narrow or curved, and the large sizes are supported with strap padding.
The back, made of power-tulle – a fine-mesh tulle – is double-layered in the large sizes. The adjusters are made of robust, nickel-free metal and with a comfortable looping style described as “practical and comfortable.”Thong, briefs and high-waist briefs – all with a side insert of lace and made of super-light, fine micro-fibre and match the bras. “The joins between the lace and pants are extremely flat and have a visible curved edging. The lack of additional bands on the thong means extra wearing comfort. The crowning touch – each model features beading on the waistband to match the bra.” said the company.
Aurelia’s moulded underwire bra is available up to an H cup. Features include a shaping but adaptable c-shaped underwire which varies in thickness depending on the size. “The large cups and sizes benefit from a particularly pliable Ergoline underwire and the padded underwire band lies gently on the skin. An crescent section integrated into the side provides additional support in the underwired bra in the large sizes – with an additional positive effect: the bust looks smaller,” noted the company. Style and fit were paramount to the company in the design of Aurelia’s moulded underwired bra and soft bra: a stretch beaded band frames the neckline through to the end of the straps. The straps match the cups with all-over lace and are particularly flat at the front join. Depending on the size, the strap is either straight and narrow or curved, and the large sizes are supported with strap padding.
The back, made of power-tulle – a fine-mesh tulle – is double-layered in the large sizes. The adjusters are made of robust, nickel-free metal and with a comfortable looping style described as “practical and comfortable.”Thong, briefs and high-waist briefs – all with a side insert of lace and made of super-light, fine micro-fibre and match the bras. “The joins between the lace and pants are extremely flat and have a visible curved edging. The lack of additional bands on the thong means extra wearing comfort. The crowning touch – each model features beading on the waistband to match the bra.” said the company.

KissKill Lingerie at CurveNY
One of the brands we enjoyed meeting in person at CurveNY last month was KissKill Lingerie. The Australian brand’s debut collection, License to Kill, features bras, sexy panties, slips and robes in nude, black hues and rose gold hardware in eight ranges: Ruby, Sophie, Tilly, Bond, Cassie, Sylvia, Solitaire and Lana. “License to kill creates alluring, charming and beautiful pieces enticing customers wanting something captivating and glamorous,” said the brand’s designer and founder, Jane Carrodus.
At CurveNY, Jane also showcased the collections offering of accessories — sleepmasks and adorable lace bunny ears (which she was proudly wearing at Jacob Javits). KissKill also includes Sleepwear.The brand’s name, KissKill embodies two concepts: Kiss represents the feminine side of a woman’s personality and sexuality and embracing the soft side of being a woman. Kill references the allure of a woman – the strong, independent and dominant side.
“She has a killer instinct she uses to empower herself and create an air of mystery to her personality. She wants to be loved but also desired as a sexual being. She is comfortable with her sexuality and who she is behind closed doors,” said Jane. “Kill represents her use of sexuality to conjure an emotion leading to ultimately, killer sex appeal.”

Salon de la Lingerie Highlights – AW14/15
Back in January I visited the Salon de la Lingerie (one of the biggest lingerie trade shows) in Paris. It’s held twice a year and hundreds of brands exhibit there from all over the world. My absolute favourite part of the show is seeing the collections of the huge variety of Indie designers – this is where lingerie design gets most creative and takes the most risks. Without further ado, here are my highlights of next season’s lingerie from the Salon.
Almeida’s style seems to be very bold and overtly sexy – this season uses glossy patent leathers and feathered accessories, along with provocative cuts such as quarter cup bras and the unusual longline underbust corset. However, amidst the more S&M styled pieces it was the soft silk chiffon designs that caught my eye – I love the sleeve detail on the soft bra above and the soft diaphanous colouration.
Beautiful Bottoms have some truly stunning silk pieces for next season – ‘Graphic Galaxy’ is probably my favourite collection of theirs today, and I love how bold and psychedelic the prints have become, whilst the relaxed and simple silhouettes allow the prints to speak for themselves. I’m particularly in love with the ‘Ethereal Echo’ set, shown in the vest top above – it’s such a dreamy colourway and I adore the organic painterly feel to the print itself.
Betty Blue’s Loungerie has been on my radar for a while, but I’d only ever seen the designs online. I’m so glad I’ve had the chance to see the products in person – the fleece robes are genuinely the most gratifyingly snuggly pieces of loungewear I have encountered in my entire life. I’m also in love with the new silk ‘Nell’ pieces in a striking ‘Heather’ colourway. Betty is also launching ‘Betty Bridal’, releasing several of the existing ‘Nell’ designs in ivory. My particular favourite is the bodysuit – that plunge neckline and the strap detailing are just divine.

Lingerie Vault Launched by Renee Mayne
Renowned as Australia’s number one bra critic and lingerie business mentor, Renee Mayne, sexy lingerie fitter and founder of Bra Queen, has pledged to put the “sexy” back into fading lingerie businesses. Mayne recently launched an online entrepreneurial membership program known as the Lingerie Vault, which she intends to unite the lingerie industry worldwide and create more variety and diversity in the industry. Its main aim is to teach lingerie professionals the secrets of making their businesses more profitable.
The program is geared especially towards small and independent brands and labels which can be obscured by multiple retailers in the market. According to Mayne, on the surface, the industry appears exciting, glamorous and with an insatiable turnover but she states that, “the truth is it is dominated by only a select few. We want to help brands and retailers connect, gain exposure and help make them money.”Mayne brings eighteen years of business experience to the table to create a business boosting platform in line with her passion and dedication to see the growth and diversification of the lingerie industry. The “Bra Queen” sites lows margins, fluctuating demand, cash flow problems, costly marketing strategies and stagnant stock turnover as some of the major issues that have plague independent lingerie businesses and these combined have caused companies to realize diminished returns.
But Mayne believes that things are turning around. “This is the new economy and things have changed”, she says. She believes that a strong business model and the right guidance, such as that provided by the Lingerie Vault, can inject profit and enjoyment back into businesses that need a helping hand. “Business doesn’t have to be tough; it’s not about the big milestones. It’s about enjoying every step along the way,” she says. “We’re never alone because we are all connected and we can use that in our favour to make a real difference.” The Lingerie Vault program promises to provide the ambitious lingerie entrepreneur with affordably priced access to information.

Nikol Djumon Lingerie
As we get closer to Curve New York and Curve Las Vegas, we’re showcasing a few of the exhibiting brands for our retail readers. Today, we’re looking at the European brand, Nikol Djumon making its debut at CurveNY (booth #112) next month via the brand’s US distributor, Valens Capital Group. Based in Latvia, the brand was started by Nikolai and Natalia Biryukova in 2004. The brand’s name is an combination of the owners first name and a family legend: Madame Dumont, an ancestor of the owners, lived in 18th-century France as a talented milliner and created handmade underwear for fashion conscious clients. Afterwards, she became a European fabric supplier to Latvian sexy lingerie manufacturers for three generations.
She spent much of her life in Paris where she gained her credibility and fashion experience. Her experience and history ultimately inspired the family to launch their first lingerie line in 2004 and continue to influence the brand.Nikol Djumon comes in a variety of fashion-forward ranges in a wide spectrum of sizes — from 70A to 95H. A large part of the brand’s success over the years is based on the brand’s varied fashion collections, emphasis on fit and high-end construction and fabrics.All of Nikol Djumon’s products are created and manufactured in the ancient city of Liepaja, located on the coast of the Baltic Sea in Latvia, with a magnificent white sand sea-side and a soft temperate climate.
In regards to fit, Natalia says, “the fit of Nikol Djumon lingerie meets all the characteristics of the human body and sewing is performed using high-precision technology and advanced equipment. Nikol Djumon lingerie helps to restore balance in women silhouettes and, at the same time, gives a sense of free movement while restoring the beauty and balance of women shapes.”

Miranda Kerr Named the Face of Wonderbra
According to Vogue U.K., the supermodel has been named to face of Wonderbra. Yes, less a year after leaving Victoria's Secret, Orlando Bloom's ex is back to posing in sexy lingerie again.
Hopefully this new job will hopefully take up less of her time than her Angels position did, since a busy schedule was the reason she cited for having to leave Victoria's Secret. There definitely seems to be less work involved with Wonderbra as she will not be fronting the company in the United States, only in the United Kingdom.
In addition to this new underwear campaign, the 30-year-old's got a lot going on. A few days ago her very sexy Reebook commercial—in which she strips naked!—was released. That will join her stunning ShopStyle add, which is currently on televised rotation. Plus, her debut ads for H&M's spring 2014 collection arrived at the start of this month. Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, she's also got her own Kora Organics skin care line.

Selena Gomez Makes Complicated Lingerie Look Way Too Easy In Her Sexy New Instragram Photo
Selena Gomez really knows how to get her fans’ hearts racing! In her most recent sexy Instagram, Gomez pulls one hell of a sex pot pose in a sheer, lingerie number. Situated in front of mirror in what appears to be a dressing room in Ron Burgundy‘s house, Gomez has her back to the camera in that “I just can’t stop running my hands through my hair” pin up pose that’s been giving boners since the storied days of yore. She looks freaking fantastic.
I’m not really sure how to describe her outfit–calling it a dress seems charitable, so I might just go ahead and say this is full on sexy lingerie. Exceptionally strappy, complicated lingerie. How did she even get into that thing? Who arranged all of those straps?
She looks confident and poised, which is remarkably impressive considering she’s sticking her ass out and making a sexy face while someone snaps a photo. I never understand how models and actors manage to look so hot in photo shoots, because I imagine them as socially horrifying minefields of awkwardness. But she looks beautiful, comfortable, and relaxed, so clearly she has something figured out that is still a big mystery to me.
In a bid to keep fans guessing, Gomez captioned this picture “.. Secret project.” WHAT’S THE SECRET, SELENA? Is there more to it than just looking banging and being confident? Does the have to do with all of those straps? Maybe it’s a musical instructional video about how to get in and out of complicated lingerie. Time will tell.

Pretty blonde student 'Elizabeth Raine' poses in lingerie
A pretty medical student is auctioning her virginity to the highest bidder online.The slim blonde, who calls herself Elizabeth Raine, hopes to make at least £250,000 from a wealthy suitor but warns that "love is not part of the arrangement".
She says she has never had any form of sex, seen a naked man in the flesh or let one see her nude.Elizabeth, 27, wants to make the "sharp transition from virgin to literal whore" in a global auction starting on April 1. The prize is a 12-hour date which will include her first sexual experience.She has posed in sexy lingerie to promote her blog, called Musings of a Virgin Whore, but is not showing her face to keep her real identity hidden.
She admits that money is her main motivation but says that she is far from short of cash and will donate 35% of her proceeds to a charity that helps educate women in developing countries.Introducing herself online, she invites bidders to join her on "this unique, exhilarating, challenging,sexy lingerie,and hopefully lucrative adventure."
She adds: "At the ripe age of 27, virginity fits me like a glove. It is unexpected and unconventional, yet exhilarating and empowering. Now, having made the decision to sell my virginity, I cannot imagine losing it in any other way.She says she went to excellent private schools and is now a medical student at a leading US university.One reason she is a virgin is that she is "slightly frightened" of committing to relationships with men, she admits.Asked in an interview what kind of man she hopes will take her virginity, she said: "The most money is mainly what I'm looking for."Because selling sex is largely illegal in the USA, she has hired an agent based in Sydney, Australia, "where very relaxed prostitution laws will permit this exchange".She concludes: "I also will be paying taxes due on this income. In fact, I am quite happy to."

Pair Your Sexy Lingerie With Terrifying Cartoon Eyes And Barbie Proportions
Watch out, potential purchasers of sexy lingerie! Your corsets, bras and panties* could come at a price: a face and figure proportional to that of humans rather than Bratz dolls. A set of lingerie on retailer AliExpress has been using a model whom I suspect is not the genuine cartoon/human hybrid we geeks have been waiting for, so something in me wants to guess she cannot possibly be proportioned this way.
Anybody find it strange that they photoshopped the model so her waist is approximately the same width as her head? Speaking of her head, though, it’s her eyes that get to me.Perhaps this model has only recently been going through an utterly life-changing experience featuring an Instagram-filtered road trip, several Broken Social Scene songs, and a series of realizations regarding the world not being what it seems. Deep, girl. Open them eyez to the truth.Or the advertisers simply felt the woman’s eyes were too small–which makes very little sense, as your eyes are typically just the size they need to be in order to allow that whole “vision” function–so they enlarged them in a terrifying way:Well, that would make sense, given they’re photoshopped enough to give Sauron a run for his money?
I found the images while poking around the Internet last night, searching for holiday lingerie, as one does. While I look at pictures of clothes quite a bit during my regular day, shopping for myself always feels strangely different. In this case, it was a stark reminder that women in lingerie ads are just unbelievably photoshopped nearly every time. Not only that, but they’re almost always hanging out in awkwardly contorted positions I do not recall ever finding comfortable while wearing–well, anything. Lacy or otherwise.In any case, I think I’ll opt out of buying lingerie accompanied by bad poetry and terrible marketing that makes women into literal caricatures of themselves. Then again, I suppose that eliminates a lot of stores.

Anne Hathaway, Give us a kiss!
It's no wonder that Anne Hathaway stays in such fabulous shape given her active lifestyle while on vacation in Oahu, Hawaii.
The 31-year-old actress worked up quite a fun lather just playing around in the surf while her husband Adam Shulman stayed ashore and watched on Wednesday.
Anne was seen splashing around the waves and having a marvelous time, revealing her pale willowy figure in a purple one-piece swimsuit and pink drawstring shorts.
Bathing beauty: Anne Hathaway cut a sexy silhouette in a purple one-piece and drawstring pink shorts during a swim on the beach of Oahu, Hawaii on Wednesday
Moving in: The Les Miserables star grabbed Adam around the shoulders to draw him in for a long smooch
She kicked up her heels in the water while sending a smile in the direction of her spouse, who opted to stay on the beach.
Anne emerged a little while later looking totally invigorated from her swim and sporting slicked back, wet hair and a toothy grin.
She must have been thinking of something funny for as she stepped away from the water was caught in a case of serious giggles.
