TLP favorite Affinitas Intimates just sent us a preview of their summer thongs for the summer season. Affordable thongs and great variety!

What better way to combat VPL and show off your best asset (pun definitely intended) than with Fall’s best thongs? Whether you’re looking for basic cotton, sexy satin, seductive velvet, romantic lace, sporty lycra and more, Affinitas Intimates has you ‘covered’!

These great new thongs are retailing for just $8 – $16 in numerous boutiques and e-retailers across the United States (use the store locator at the AI-site). Image thanks to Affinitas Intimates, official site located at affinitasintimates.com.

Affinitas Featured in June Glamour

Krista — Wed, 20 May 2009 00:48:36 +0000

Affinitas Intimates has been featured on TLP before for its stylish, sassy, and sexy sets, chemises, camis, and more. They recently caught the eye of the editors over at Glamour who have featured the summery Joanna Balconnet Bra in its Dos and Don’ts of Going Bare spread. Clearly, Joanna is definitely a Do! This convertible bra is the perfect alternative to your basic black and nude under strapless tops and dresses. Adding a matching thong or hipster won’t break the bank either. You can have a complete set for $40 or less! With a great price like that, you can buy another whole set. Affinitas Intimates are available at retailers throughout the U.S. and online at Lauren Silva.

Pix 11 Morning News is my source of all things traffic, weather, and news each morning. However, I really love this channel for all the extras like the latest in gadgets, entertainment, and sometimes, lingerie. This week, Pix 11 featured 5 Lingerie Looks for Valentine’s Day (although I endorse them for the other 364 days as well!) including some of our favorite brands – Buxom, Affinitas, and a new favorite of mine, B’tempt’d by Wacoal!

Lingerie expert, Tara Clavell-Vera, joined host, Tamsen Fadal, to showcase 5 looks at the in-studio fashion show. Highlights of the segment are below. To see the video clip, click here (scroll down the page when you get there!).

Award Ceremony

And the Winners Are…CILA Gala 2008

Krista — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:00:32 +0000

On Monday, August 4th, in the Skylight Room of the Waldorf-Astoria, members of the intimate apparel industry gathered to honor the creativity and talent of leading brands and designers. Hosted by the trade publication, Contours Magazine, the Gala included a red carpet arrival and cocktails, a sit down dinner, and fashion show featuring CILA brand finalists. The evening concluded with the awards presentation.

This year, for the first time, CILA recognized the accomplishments of young, fashion graduates. Top students enrolled in the esteemed intimate apparel program at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) submitted their designs in the category of Graduating Designer of the Year. Jessica Ng (who some of you might remember from last year’s Between the Sheets Fashion Show) was named the winner for her well-constructed and beautiful design.

CILA was also delighted to invite a special guest to receive another first time award! Carson Kressley, host of Lifetime’s How to Look Good Naked, was awarded the Recognition Award for Promoting Healthy Body Image Through the Media. Prior to presenting Carson with the award, the audience acquired a taste of Carson’s work through a series of video clips from the show in which he encourages women to embrace their beauty no matter what shape or size they may be.

Notable men’s underwear brands Andrew Christian, Baskit, and Papi, as well as online retailer Freshpair.com, graciously donated the items for Carson’s goody bag! Show attendees also received goody bags with treats from Soak (see here for a previous post on this wonderful wash).

Listed below is a complete list of CILA participants and winners (noted in bold). Check back soon for a photo gallery of the event!

Affinitas Intimates, featured on TLP in May, is a participating brand in the CILA (Contours International Lingerie Awards) Gala being held on August 4th. This fun and fashionable brand provides quality pieces that show your sassy side without breaking the bank!

For the award show, Affinitas will be featuring their entries into the Best Daywear, Best Fashion Lingerie, and Best Seamless. The Best Daywear entry is a cami and hipster set from the light and summery Sandra collection. The clean white background with pops of baby blue, pale pink, and grass green will be sure to keep you looking (and feeling) cool on hot summer nights. In the category of Fashion Lingerie, the entry is from the flirty Helen collection. A bustier and matching skirted thong feature a number of intricate details from embroidered overlays to simple bows. The Grace plunge push-up bra and corresponding hipsters are contending for the title of Best Seamless.

Check back in August to see how Affinitas fared in the award show. In the meantime, find out more about the numerous other attractive and affordable Affinitas collections on the Affinitas website. The website also provides a number of online retailers stocking Affinitas with a specialty store list coming soon!
