“The collection plays with the warm and natural tones of skin, blush and biscuit, matching them with deep blue tones of the night. The allure of the styles is soft as the creamy silk muslin, that comes with small natural laces, and nearly invisible sequins. Everything is pureness, cream and gold, for the brightest winter.

Notes of blue and violet come in bringing seduction during the long winter nights. Stars made of blue yarn spread all over, embroidered on the grey tulle, that is sprinkled by tiny flocked dots, and detailed with black velvet straps.

Night and day, elegance shows through precious fabric, enriched with details like sequins or vintage embroideries, or velvet.”

If that’s not one of the most exciting descriptions of a lingerie line ever I don’t know what is!

We’re big fans as always. Photos below prove the point…

We asked Guia about the story behind the three lines, Galatea, Daphne and Thalia: “Galatea, Daphne and Thalia are lovely nymphs that live in the nature. They wander around in their little tops of silk, leaving them floating on the rhythm of their dance.”

“The little Galatea, wears a strawberry pink baby-doll, that makes her look romantic and charming. She likes to play with the two long ribbons attached in a bow underneath her breasts.”

“Daphne, wraps her beautiful body into a chestnut dress, adorned by delicate pink ruffles and by a long green bow. She loves to play with the double layers of silk cut in a bias. The purity of the shape makes her look elegant and comfortable for dance.”

“Thalia, is a nymph but also a muse, she affirms her personality through the delicate mix of colors, and the beauty of the print. She loves the playful side of her little top, enriched at the waist by big ruffles, and printed all over by irregular polka dots.”

Another great Guia collection — big big fan!

We asked Guia herself to show us her favorites from her Spring/Summer line:

“For my S/S 2008 lingerie I was inspired by retro looks, but as always modernized by the choice of very precious fabrics. FAIRY NIGHTS, has a demi cup bra (the most popular bra style in my collections), and ismade of 100% coral silk muslin (which is my favourite fabric), with gold decorations. The knickers are all cut in a bias, just with the elastic at the waist.”

“SLEEPING BEAUTY, is a very soft silk tulle all embroided with flowers made of gold and pink yarn — all is trimmed with pink lace and ribbons.”

“PAYFUL DAYS, is a silk muslin set, all folqued with mini polka dots, couloured in light purple. All is trimmed with a vintage lace and gros grain ribbons.”

I’m sure you’re loving this as much as I am. Very delicate, very feminine — and luxurious as always with Guia La Bruna. Make sure to check out her beautiful website — it’s got even more photos!

Lucia Mizzoni hopes that Dolce V “will become addictive; one of those little secrets you will want to share with all your friends even though a side of you will want to keep it for yourself only!” Lucia Mizzoni spent nearly 8 years as the marketing manager of L’Oreal UK. Before L’Oreal she had a distinguished education including a Fullbright scholarship in 1998 for International Relations at Syracuse University. The Dolce V business started in January of 2008 and the online shop launched shortly there after. Head over to Dolce V and join their club for free. You’ll get a satin tape measure so you can measure your own bust and make sure you are getting the best fit. When you get your tape measure, use the Dolce V bra size calculator with three simple steps. Once you know your size, Dolce V handily offers a way to search their store for your size. If you are a fuller figured women, you may find that Dolce V offers a decent selection through 38E or 38F via brands like Freya and Fauve. I imagine that with early success, Dolce V will offer even more sizes in the future.The site is easy to navigate and offers search to help find pieces that interest you.

Each designer is broken out as a search filter and you can also shop by occasion or department. This level of flexibility is often skipped as some retail sites don’t break out by designer or don’t offer search. Dolce V offers tips for men and a break out section focusing on hot trends including a short Flash video. Unlike many online lingerie retailers, Dolce V offers free returns, so you can buy with the extra confidence that returns won’t be a hurdle.

One feature of the site I haven’t seen before is integrated zooming. Many sites open another window and launch a separate client to zoom in on details. Dolce V is using a technique to keep the zooming inside the same screen as the product details. When you land on a product page, you will see a medium size picture and two thumbnails. As the page loads, a larger version of the thumbnails is downloaded in the background. You can use the medium size picture to zoom in on details and use the thumbnails to change the picture. Besides having some great designers, I think this zoom feature makes online shopping easier and for now, makes Dolce V different than their competitors.

Lucia is offering a discount code DOLCE108L for 10% off. Go over to the site and buy some goodies.

Glamorous Amorous is doing great, by the way. They’ve added a couple of new designers/collections since we last mentioned them – Patrick & Skinner last month, some new Rosanna Ansaloni pieces, Damaris, Mimi Holliday, Guia la Bruna, … and so much more is arriving soon, we were told! GA also stocks some less-famous treasures such as Fishbelly, Amoralia, Antonia Ghazlan, .. so they’re always worth checking out!

My favorites? The ones below by Antonia Ghazlan, Bulb, Argentovivo and Bacirubati.

The sale ends September 21st — so don’t wait too long!

A thong, a bikini brief, a camisole, a chemise and some triangle bra’s. It’s not an overload of pieces, but the ones that are available are breathtaking. The ‘Touch of Gold’ collection is my favorite — check out the pics and I’m sure you’ll see why: pure class.

Enjoy the photos. The NM website needs updating, so the guia pieces can’t be browsed by designer just yet, but you can find all the pieces by searching for “GUIA” on the Nancy Meyer search page — I’ll leave you to discover the prices there too.
