The soft lace collection, available in stores now, includes thongs, bikinis, high-rise panties, camis and a great new mid-length a-line slip with commando’s patent-pending weighted hem.  Personally, I love the touch of glamour and sophistication that the lace adds.

The swiss dot collection and the holiday lace collection, both be available later this fall, are a fun and festive way to heat things up as it gets colder outside.

Commando is available at retailers worldwide and on the herlook.com website (with some other great treats as well!).

On purchases made June 24th – July 6th on the Her Look website, enjoy free ground shipping on your entire order with the purchase of any Commando High Rise Panty or High Rise Thong. Use the code HIGHRISE in the coupon field at checkout. While the new high rise thong and panty are only available currently at Her Look, for the other Commando favorites try Bare Necessities online (that $5 shipping is probably cheaper than a drive to the mall these days!) or Saks, Nordstrom, and more.

Find your fantasy with our exquisite Spring 2008 collection. Embrace softness with rich ruffles or intricate Levers lace; discover daring in bondage-inspired pieces. Inspire undressing with exuberant hues and silken buttons and bows.

Some of these pieces are just too gorgeous. Take a look at this Sauvage Pin-up Star Panty ($450) or this Bustle Panty ($195). Sexy, aye?

1. Spanx Power Panties

Spanx of course is the hottest brand in shapewear right now, and their Power Panties have been a best seller for us for the past year. Spanx offers 2 styles of Power Panties; the original style, which sits right at your waist and shapes you down to your upper thigh, and the Higher Power, which hits right below your bra line and stretches down to your upper thigh. (They even offer a third style, a maternity shaper called the Mama Power Panty!), My own personal preference is for the Higher Power style, because it eliminates “muffin top” and shapes your thighs without riding up. It also eliminates panty lines and is not binding on the leg. These styles are great to wear everyday in place of your regular underwear.

2. Slimming layers.

Layering will be a popular trend again this Spring, and there are several new shaper camisoles that will allow you to layer AND slim. This trend really works for us because you get to show off layers of Spring color while keeping the muffin-top at bay. My favorite shaping tank this season is by Yummie Tummie. Designer Heather Thomson started with an everyday comfy cotton tank and added moderate control microfiber fabric in the midsection. It’s available in an assortment of colors to serve as a perfect bottom-layer to any layering camisole.

Another great option is the TC Fine Shapewear’s Seamless Firm Control Camsiole. It has adjustable straps for extra support and firm shaping material to smooth out love handles. The bottom of the tank has a comfortable silicone lining that keeps your tank from riding up so you are not tugging all day long. Perfect under any top.

3. No VPL

This season there are several good solutions to the dilemma of, “I want a smooth, slim-looking waistline, but if I wear shapewear, the bulk will create panty lines or worse, even peek through the bottom of my skirt!” The shapewear thong solves that dilemma; smooth control where you need it, and only where you need it. Two of my favorites for getting rid of VPL and still achieving a smooth, slim looking waist are the High-waist control thong from Bodywrap, and the ‘No Show Thru’ shapewear thong from TC Fine shapewear. These shapewear thongs are seamless and made of a soft microfiber that will keep you feeling comfortable yet supported all day long. And best of all, they are on sale at BareNecessities.com this week only (through 3/27) for 25% off!

4. Shape me all over.

Of course, regardless of season, customers are always looking for their go-to I-feel-like-looking-fabulous-tonight all-over body shaper. For me, that would be the Seamless Body Toning shaper from The Body Wrap’s Lites collection. This light control bodybriefer is great under skirts and dresses. It comes with both traditional and clear adjustable straps that makes it easy to wear under this seasons hottest trends.

That’s it for now!

What a stunning collection — I’m impressed. I suggest you take a look at the rest of the AF Vandevorst collections while you’re at it — they’re all on afvandevorst.be (the lingerie collection is under the “Nightfall” tab). I hope I’ve enlightened some people today!
