All these photos are from the Fall/Winter 2009/2010 culottes collection – both the Satin Résille Femme and the Coton Femme lines (conveniently named after the used fabrics).

We hope to have some more background info on the label and the designer on TLP soon – our French-speaking readers might find it on www.edithdesmarais.com in the mean time.

La Petite Tricheuse literally means The Little Cheater. Sounds better in French, doesn’t it?

I have no clue where you can find these at the moment, if you do know — please let us know in the comments or in the forums!

However, looking ahead to the very sophisticated Fall Collection, you will continue to be impressed! While EMI staples such as Coranto, Dentelle, Sheer Ribbons, Spellbound, and Harmonies will appear in new colourways, new silhouettes will also be introduced. Look for fall to incoporate lots of rich and luscious jewel tones at the onset and fade into sweet, softer shades towards winter. Additionally, the collection will include a lot of “surprise” backs to the bikinis using sheer mesh and lace.

In August, you’ll meet Revel, one of the new stand out pieces. In vibrant shades of green, this sassy set is available in an underwire bra as well as matching bikini or thong. Another something special being introduced in August are the satin Seductions bikinis. They feature a seamless fit and are offered in 6 assorted colors (including Pearl, Daffodil Yellow, and Blue Plastic). Sheen, arriving this fall in both Jet and Iris Purple, is a new silhouette identified by its whimsical, sequin detailing. November ushers in Captive, a fun, flirty polka dot print. The Contour Bra, Culotte, and Thong are all composed of both satin and lace. Another print for fall is Echo. Incorporating shades of orange and purple, this fun and feisty set is edged in lace. It’s unfortunate we have to wait until December for Monarque! In Bleached Apricot, this sweet and flirty set is accented both under the bust and along the leg with delicate bows.

Fall is filled with so many other great looks! Here is a sampling below.

The beautiful Seduzione Brazil LOLA Bra Set, obviously made in Brazil, is a romantic embroidered tulle molded bra and matching culotte panties set. It’s available in bra sizes 34B, 34C, 36B and panty sizes: small, medium, large. Retail price is under $100 at Bella Bella Boutique!

One lucky reader will win the Aimee slip (see below). This glamorous, silky something, perfect for a night in, is reflective of the Julianne style.

Julianne is designed for women like me who love looking pretty, sexy, and feminine without trying too hard! The Julianne woman is also a jetsetter who needs to transition easily from day to night while remaining glamorous. The Spring ’08 collection features chemises, camis, shorts, and tops in a color palette reflective of designer Nikki Adamo’s summer trip to Capri. Navy, coral, beige, and black silk satins, silk georgettes, and silk jerseys trimmed in French and Italian laces. See more of my favorites below.

According to Nikki, “These pieces are guaranteed to turn heads.” I wholeheartedly agree! These one-of-a-kind, luxurious essentials will turn heads not because they are super revealing, but because they reflect an understated elegance that only a confident woman can pull off.

Don’t forget to sign up here to win the Aimee slip! In the meantime, check out Julianne in Australia and New Zealand as well as the U.K., Spain, and the U.S. Online, check out the Julianne site as well as TLP favorite figleaves.com.

Their latest collection, their winter 07/08 line, will probably only enlarge their fanbase in the US. Why? The collection is an excellent combination of sexy pieces, wearable daily pieces and ultra-cosy loungewear for long winter nights on the sofa. Honestly — it all looks great! Pics below are from the official Intimissimi website, completely updated and well worth visiting!

If you have a bigger budget: check out the superb photos below, and get to shopping at the Nancy Meyer website!

Oh and by the way: “The Dolce & Gabbana woman is an individual who know’s how to get the most out of life and adorns her body with clothing that is an expression of her personality and lifestyle.” — THAT’S ME TOO!!

PS. Looking for more affordable Dolce & Gabbana pieces? Check out our TLP-shop!

I’ll minimize the talk: enjoy the photos, and browse the pieces on the NM website. Hopefully we’ll have them browsable on our shopping page too, soon!

We’re all getting greener these days, and not only are we looking for more renewable and sustainable materials but we are also gravitating towards more natural and classic fabrics. (I got a sneak peek at spring 2008 last week and-oh my God, you’re gonna flip!) So while we’re waiting for the market to catch up to our demands, Elle MacPherson Significance Collection has just arrived at GigisCloset.com. This Silk Satin in Silvery Gray(called Moss) is buttery soft and luxuriously lustery. It is trimmed with a raw edge satin bow and crocheted lace finished off with pleated silk georgette. Donned in Significance bra and panty set, you can face those ‘greener than thou’s’ knowing your natural fiber underpinnings is a step in the greener direction!

Group includes bra, culotte, and thong. — here are a couple links to the YUMMY pieces on the Gigi’s Closet website: the countour bra, the culotte panties. Enjoy!
