The tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was forbidden for Spaniards to wear bright colors. People believed wearing yellow would bring them good fortune, so they wore the lucky shade as underwear, which couldn’t be seen. If you’re looking for love next year, wear red instead of yellow. Here are some cute yellow panties I found at HerRoom.com from Honeydew and Ed Hardy, which you can hopefully find at a store near you in time for the big day:

Ivanka Trump and Kirstie Alley like the Elle Macpherson Intimates Coranto Contour bra, a demi bra with delicate lace and molded underwire cups. Beyonce was also featured in Blender Magazine wearing this bra.

Eva Longoria included Elle Macpherson Intimate’s Dentelle Countour Bra in her wedding trousseau, and Katherine McPhee wore it in Stuff magazine.

Katherine Zeta Jones wears Sassybax’s Torso Trim Camisole while filming movies to smooth her figure and whittle her waist on the big screen. You thought that stunning figure was natural, but she actually has a little help!

Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpon, and Rebecca Romijn all love Honeydew. Paris goes for the Rumba Panty while Jessica and Rebecca prefer the Mesh Boyshorts. They had better stock up; the style is being discontinued and it’s on final sale!

Even Jessica Alba welcomed some help from Spanx in “The Fabulous Four” to look her best in her costume.

Nicole Kidman is reportedly a big fan of Hanro panties, and even personally chose the Simply Satin V Camisole and the Simply Satin Hi-Cut Briefs to wear in “Eyes Wide Shut.”

The absolutely gorgeous Chantelle Africa collection is a favorite of both Hillary Swank and Emmy Award winner Mariska Hargitay. Hargitay’s favorite color is Ebony, which definitely shows off the delicate detailing.

Dolly Parton, who is notoriously unashamed of her assets, still knows that sometimes you don’t need to advertise everything. She has reportedly bought hundreds of Fashion Forms Satin Breast Petals.

To see more (like the women who love Hanky Panky and all the Chantelle fans), visit the HerRoom.com website.

While I was a little apprehensive about trying a new site, the clock is ticking, so I had to jump on it. Navigating the site was easy and the check out process was a breeze. I appreciated the follow up email detailing my purchase. The set was shipped the following day and arrived neatly packaged a few days later.

The site features swimwear brands like L*Space and Luli Fama and lingerie brands including Undrest and Dessous. While the number of brands featured is small, the selection is decent and the purchasing process is easy. I would definitely use this site again.

Love Jones is a perfect fit inside the Hard Rock with its rocker chic atmosphere. The walls are painted a bright orange with hot pink clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts adorning them. As you look above, sexy crossed legs peek from ceiling wearing fun (and sometimes racy) tights in spider, floral, or fishnet prints. Exciting and enticing, Love Jones enthralled us all!

I’m sure you are curious to the offerings and the purchases at Love Jones. Please understand that I am under Bachelorette Party Oath to protect the names of the innocent (and not-so-innocent). All names provided are aliases!

Honey is a wife and mother of 1. While she loves motherhood, it has stifled the flavor in her lingerie drawer a bit, so she was looking for a little something to spice it up! Still wanting to be practical, we instantly decided that Honeydew was the perfect choice. With a feminine cut and a flirty, lacy edge, Honey knew she would be able to balance her need for comfort with her desire for sexiness. She chose the solid black and white mesh boyshort as well as and the leopard Rumba Panty with ruffles. The verdict – Honey tested, husband approved. She confirmed that they were comfortable, yet sexy.

Vixen is a busy college student. She was looking for something fun and comfortable to fit in with her hectic life. I introduced her to both Hanky Panky and Honeydew. She was very excited about finding the Honeydew Mesh Boyshorts in her favorite leopard pattern. She chose the ones with red lace!

Hennessy, a not-so-newlywed, who is always willing to try something new, was the daring lady who purchased red fishnets and Silver Sequin bloomers by Leg Avenue. This lovely lady is not just sassy, but also very sweet. For her sweet side, she purchased Honeydew Mesh Boyshorts in Leopard, like Vixen, and a beautiful, silky “Kiss Me” eye mask by Mary Green.

Peaches, the bride-to-be, chose the signature Love Jones thong to go with the theme of the outing. She also chose the above mentioned Silver Sequin bloomers by Leg Avenue. What goes with those? None other than Nippies by Bristols6, previously mentioned on TLP. The verdict – still out. She is still honeymooning!

Since I didn’t win big at the slots, I satisfied my lingerie fix by helping others choose new special somethings. There’s always the next time with the next bride-to-be!

*All of the above listed items are available at the Love Jones lingerie shop at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and at local department stores and boutiques near you. Special thanks to Elizabeth at Love Jones for all her help and to the lovely ladies who so eagerly took my suggestions!

Luxurious brands such as Elle Macpherson Intimates, Mimi Holliday, Pfiff, and Huit adorn the walls as well as the more functional, everyday basics brands such as Le Mystere and Wacoal. As you walk through the store and examine these beautiful pieces, be careful to look for product reviews. With opinions from a student to a stay at home mom and everyone in between, these informative blurbs are one of the many little touches that make Journelle one-of-a-kind.

The space itself is exquisite! Roomy, yet intimate. Modern, yet classic. Full, yet uncluttered. Journelle is warm and inviting with its color palette of earthy neutrals from ecru to ebony and rich purples from lavender to eggplant.

My favorite element of the store is the innovative and unique fitting area. Individual rooms are spacious and feel much like your own bedroom or boudoir with comfortable seating accented by pretty pillows. The lighting is natural and the mirrors allow you a complete view of how fabulous you look in the merchandise. What’s lacking? Tiny, cramped space. Hard benches for tossing your bags. Harsh, fluorescent lighting. Maneuvering like a contortionist to see every angle.

Want a second opinion? Need a different size? Feel free to ask the helpful and attentive staff who not only provide one-on-one attention while you are exploring, but also take great care in wrapping your precious purchases when you are buying. While you’re waiting, pick up a few stocking stuffers (for your sister, your best friend, or, of course, yourself!). My personal favorites (Commando, Hanky Panky, and Honeydew) are conveniently located by the register. If you have already splurged, enjoy watching the video footage displayed on the screen behind this area.

I’m very interested to see what other great things Journelle will do in the future. The store is definitely worth checking out on your own if you are in, or visiting, the New York area. Journelle is located at 3 East 17th Street. Happy shopping!

Looking for something sweet? Try stuffing her stocking with the Juicy Couture Striped Boy Shorts Lollipop Box. Choose from “Live for Sugar,” “Eat Cake,” or “Keep Me Sweet.” I bet she’ll prefer this to sugar plums! We also loved the Set of Three, Cupcake Couture Boy Shorts. The green, yellow, and pink trio are neatly packaged in a cupcake holder gift box and adorned with a Juicy Couture ribbon. This is the gift that keeps on giving. The baking cups that hold the sweet treats can be used to bake your favorite cupcakes long after the boughs of holly have been un-decked and the New Year’s champagne has been rinsed from your glasses. Shop early at Juicy Couture or at your local Bloomingdales.

Searching for something on the sassier side? I love the fun and flirty patterns of Honeydew boyshorts. At $12 a pop, they are my way of indulging my guilty pleasure without breaking the bank! From cute cucumbers and pretty pineapples to racy, animal prints and sexy skulls, there is something for everyone. I also love the other sassy options from Honeydew including their bralettes and thongs. For added pizzazz , try the rumba short! In an animal print, it isn’t for the tame! Find them at the Honeydew website or, of course, Bloomingdales.

For the best of both worlds, try the Graffiti Pink website. Not only do they carry a number of popular brands such as Hanky Panky, Wendy Glez, and Malicious, but they also have a number of their own items including the very sassy handprint boyshort and the “My Panties are Better than Yours” tank (which I hope ends up under my tree!).If you find anything else gift-worthy, be sure to let us know in our forums. We’d love to hear all about it!

I’m just glad she is finally joining the masses in our habit of wearing undergarments. We’ve seen too many tabloid photos lately proving otherwise – maybe now that she’s stocked up on so many pretty things, She’ll be more inclined to actually wear them!

The Isabella site is easy to navigate and includes great extras like wardrobe solutions and a blog. The selection of sizes was impressive and quite a selection of designers is featured including Freya, Cosabella, Parah, and a brand new to me – Undrest. According to the blog, TLP favorite, The Lake and Stars, will be arriving in the store in the near future. And if all that isn’t exciting enough, Isabella also has the largest selection of Honeydew Intimates in the world!

From what I can tell, they have great sales and even a club membership. I strongly encourage the Chicago ladies to check it out and chat about it in our forums. The rest of us will have to take advantage of ordering online.
