“Time passes, and a prince traveling through the land sees Snow White. He strides to her coffin. The prince is enchanted by her beauty and instantly falls in love with her. He begs the dwarfs to let him have the coffin. The prince’s servants carry the coffin away. While doing so, they stumble on some bushes and the movement causes the piece of poisoned apple to dislodge from Snow White’s throat, awakening her. The prince then declares his love for her and soon a wedding is planned.”

Seven dwarfs was easy to manage – but how about the handsome prince? How will Snow White manage to save her marriage from going stale? Definitely not only by cleaning and singing with deer and squirrels. The dark side of Snow White was the starting point for the AW collection by Kriss Soonik. Pure black cute naughtiness is translated into unique styles and cuts featuring lacy bodies with peek-a-boo back and blue velvet detailing, baby-doll tops with gorgeous knickers, dressing gowns for morning lounging and a tank top with suspenders for sexy tomboy look. All hand-made in Estonia bringing a new level of quality and freshness into the lingerie market.

The photographs fit the whole theme perfectly. Superbly delicate lingerie, by far Kriss Soonik’s most mature collection – I’m loving every little piece of it. Breathtaking! The collection is already live on kriss-soonik.com – prices start at £69 (approx. $110).

Cami Too by Fashion Forms

There are plenty of times when you might not want to show off your cleavage like in the office, meeting your new boyfriend’s parents, or your grandma’s 90th birthday party. Most women either opt not to wear their favorite plunging tops, or they cover up with a camisole. These extra layers can be unwanted and unnecessary in summer’s heat, but Cami Too by Fashion Forms solves that problem!

Cami Too is a detachable lace piece that gives you additional coverage and the illusion of a camisole. You put it on over your head (like a regular camisole) and then attach it to your bra straps with the incorporated hooks. There are other similar produts on the market (click here to view the Winkee) but this is my personal favorite. I have several and reach for them often when a top seems a bit too low. It’s also very easy to go from day to night with the Cami Too – just slip it off at the end of a work day and stash it in your bag before meeting friends for drinks!

You can find Cami Too at Bare Necessities. It is available in sizes S/M, L, and XL and colors Black, White, and Ivory.

I absolutely adore the Origami collection!  This delicately embroidered, Japanese inspired collection 3 silhouettes – full cup, demi cup, and push up.  Each can be paired with a bikini, brief, or string also adorned with the embroidery.  What sets Origami apart is the sweet additions like ruffled straps and gauzy bows.

Tokyo is a delightful display of rich and vibrant colors!  Made of silk crepe, the combination of colors, prints, and textures make for a unique and alluring look.  I especially love the sassy, bum flattering Shorty!

Love Leavers lace?  Then you will love Cherry Blossom.  Shown in Azalea, this beautiful, classy set is also available in Ivory.  Perfect for the bride-to-be.

Lucky for you, there is even more to the collection.  Check out these and all the other ranges for yourself on the revamped Lou website.  While there, Magnifique!

If you remember, LuminoGlow is made of beautiful European lace that glows when the lights go down. You simply have to hold a strong light close to the pieces for about one minute to give the fabric the necessary energy, then turn off the lights and show off your new lingerie! No way your lover will be able to focus on anything but you

• Flibustine uses the absolute best laces from the most high-end traditional lace makers in France.
• Flibustine wants to be creative and refined, without compromise.
• Flibustine is a cooperation between two people, but also between two different background — sunny Réunion and romantic Paris.

The photos give you an excellent idea of the level of sexiness and detail Flibustine is aiming for. I honestly think this is one of the most exciting new labels to come out in the last year, simply because their designs look absolutely breathtaking, AND original. This is an innovative collection with gorgous lingerie — and that’s what we all love, don’t we?

They’ve got a first fan. I’ve attached a boatload of photos in a follow-up post right here, enjoy them!

The Harlow High-Rise Retro Leg is available in two styles. The first, made of the softest modal and supima cotton, features a flirty keyhole above sassy ruching. It is sure to evoke your inner vixen! The second, in peek-a-boo princess lace, is the perfect blend of naughty and nice. These styles fit perfectly with the recently redesigned Hanky Panky website!

Look for these styles at Nordstrom department stores, Store of Lingerie in Denver, Colorado, and online at BareNecessities.com. Enjoy!

Bodas was a new brand to me. With bras, knickers, camis, and more in cotton, mesh, and tactel, the collection is ideal for keeping you cool and comfortable as well as chic. In a variety of colors and styles, Bodas is perfect under clingy summer dresses and sexy summer short shorts!

With wedding season in full swing, I’m sure many of you are purchasing gifts for friends or perhaps for yourself. If you are looking for something a little different, I suggest Letters of Marque. This line proves that the sweet, vintage Victorian look can be sexy too. Soft and sheer with Leavers lace embellishments, it will be hard to choose between the bralette and cami and the bloomers and g-string. The collection also includes a babydoll and bed jacket.

Pretty, pretty! If you are in New York City, visit Journelle for a sampling of each of these collections. If you are out of the New York City area, you will soon be able to shop Journelle online, but in the meantime, check out Araks and Bodas at Lille Boutique and Letters of Marque at Nancy Meyer and Dollhouse Bettie. Enjoy!

Trendy, inexpensive clothing can be found there, however, and lately the lingerie selection online and in stores has really been expanding. While you can’t expect to find anything there that will last you a very long time, if you are on a budget you can find some short-term gems. You can pick up a sweet and sexy set for under $10, like the yellow “Taryn” combination, and the quality really isn’t that bad considering that we’re talking about panties that cost less than that hot pretzel I ate for dinner. You can stock up on ruffled and floral knickers for yourself and a sheer black bra for nights at home!

The inventory at these stores is always changing, so you may not have these exact pieces near you (but you may have something better!). As for me, I did end up buying two lace-trimmed chemises. The fit is a bit odd so I won’t be wearing this to show off for anyone, but the silky burgundy and creamy lace peeking out of the top of my dresses hints at even better things underneath!

1. Sexy Gathered Mini Dress – $29
