“Warmly seductive in satin python skin, these collections are utterly tempting, exotic and sexy. Sleek and smart, the neutral satin palette and dark chocolate accents complement every skin tone with animal-like intentions and Vegas style glamour.”

Photos thanks to Nancy Meyer – shopping at Nancy Meyer too, prices start at about $110 for bras, $75 for panties.

“The animal prints are reinterpreted for spring with this tone-on-tone shimmering silk in a delicate hue of blush lavender. Bow accents soften the shape of this utterly feminine Italian lingerie line.”

The whole range right here on the Nancy Meyer site, well worth checking out as always.

First off all, they’ve kept the central position the designers have on their website. It’s super easy to browse through excellent labels such as La Perla, Eres, Wolford, Araks, Andres Sarda, Jean Yu, Janet Reger, John Galliano, Poet and many more! Again, that’s still Nancy Meyer’s strong point: the brands.

They have made searching their site a little easier. About a month ago, when they added the new I.D. Sarrieri, it took about a week for the items to appear in their searches — now, all seems to be working, even the latest collections. That’s so important, so well done!

The most prominent update is the design. The website is even more pretty now, and still have that signature classy look. I enjoyed the simplicity of the Nancy Meyer website before — but browsing has only become simpler.

Check it out — and happy shopping!

Upon entering the ballroom after a cocktail party, guests took their seats around the runway where models were already placed on stage wearing designs from the competitors. Following dinner, guests were treated to the runway show and the presentation of awards. The competition in each category was tough indeed, particularly in the Best Fashion and Best D+ competition. That one is closest to the heart, of course.

Perhaps what stood out in my mind the most, that many others attending the event also mentioned, is that women of all shapes and sizes were represented in the runway show.

One line, Best Plus Size award winner Tia Lyn (also appearing at the trade show), is an all-inclusive line that spans sizes small to 3x. This vintage inspired line features a variety of chemises, gowns, camisoles, and panties.

Also a contender for both Best Plus Size and Best D Plus finalist, Empreinte, is seeking to become more of a presence in the U.S. with its beautiful and well constructed pieces for fuller figure women. This 60 year old company based in France offers numerous options in sizing (up to a G cup) as well as high fashion and glamour. I am most impressed with the delicate embroidery and variety of moods the collection fits.

Other contenders for Best D Plus include my personal favorites, Panache and Elixir, Barbara, and the amazing Australian based line, Bendon. So expect more about some of those lines soon!

Best Fashion was probably my other just-can’t-pick-my-favorite category of the evening. With TLP favorites Marlies Dekkers, Madame V, Chantelle, and Elle MacPherson and one of my trade show finds, Lou, it was stiff competition! Lou will be debuting this fall with parts of the collection arriving in both September and November so check your local boutique. Perhaps my favorite part of the evening might have been when the team from Marlies Dekkers was accepting their award and shared their design philosopy. They design pieces to please women, but if it also happens to please men, then that’s great. I like their way of thinking!

Overall, it was a phenomenal evening of great food, great conversation, and GORGEOUS lingerie. You can drool over all the beautiful pieces like I did! See the video coverage of the show at Zoozoom.com.

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.

Like I said, the 2007 collection is a true hit. The whole collection features beautiful prints (from aztec-style geometry to leopard skin, the Parah designers are obviously versatile!), some very sexy halter bikini’s and the signature low-rise bikini bottoms we’ll be seeing in most of the beachwear collections this summer. I can see our male readers grinning from over here (while I’m getting my Pilates mat from under my bed)…

The photo’s look awesome. My personal favorite is the super-sexy balconnette bikini, held-up with a very feminine halter-style string-construction (I’m sorry girls, I have no other way of describing it, just check out the photo, you’ll see what I mean )! The other photo’s are just as beautiful, and I’m sure we’ll be seeing these pieces on the beach all over the globe in a month or two…

What’s even better? They have Parah on sale! Check out this sexy Nikita garter belt by Parah, for just €39.95, down from €79.90!

Not looking for a bargain? Taka a look at this Angelina Push-up Bra. It’s a typical Parah piece: high class, great detail and super-sexy. Cazar is selling it for €119.90, which I know isn’t really cheap… The matching thong is available for €58.90.
Anyway, the Cazar shop has much much more to offer… I can only say: browse it!

Oh well, let’s get to the point here: the amazing Parah Intimo collection. The whole collection screams sexy. Warm and deep colors, frivolous details and risky cuts. The high quality embroidery looks extremely sexy in almost any of the sets in this Intimo collection, and I honestly haven’t seen a single piece I don’t like in the catalogue. Some of the garter-belt based sets would look extremely good on my (and your) waistline, I’m sure… These photo’s are a pretty good summary of what the Parah Intimo collection is all about: top quality and very sexy lingerie:

The Parah brand is one of the biggest names in Italian Lingerie, and I’ve been a big fan for quite some time. Don’t let the price tag scare you: you won’t be throwing out money, this stuff is worth the cash!
