Yandy will be donating 10 per cent of all proceeds gained from the sale of the Yandy exclusive, Pink Leopard Costume to benefit breast cancer research and awareness this Halloween season.

“While, of course, our focus is on selling Halloween costumes for people to attend fun and carefree events and parties, we don’t want our customers to lose site of what else October represents; breast cancer awareness,” said Yandy’s CEO, Chad Horstman. “October is synonymous with Halloween but it’s also synonymous with getting the word out and supporting the fight against breast cancer. We want our customers to be just as passionate about this cause.”

The featured costume, the Pink Leopard Costume, features a distinctive pink leopard print with plush, faux fur, a unique look amongst standard Halloween costumes. “When we first thought up this idea, we were examining all of our animal costumes from the Halloween costumes 2011 collection and landed on this one. With it’s unique pink hue, we thought it would be the perfect fit for a campaign such as this,” said Horstman.

The Pink Leopard Costume includes a tube-style top with a lace-up back and a matching skirt with long, faux fur tail. The costume also can be enhanced with a pink leopard print, faux fur hood, matching hand warmers and legwarmers. Each piece is available for purchase separately and 10 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of each piece will be donated to aid breast cancer awareness. There is a limited run on this costume and it can only be found at Yandy.com. The costume, complete with all of the accessories, totals $231.80.

“We hope we can sell out of our stock in this costume which could mean we could be writing a check for upwards of $4,000 to benefit breast cancer research and awareness at the end of Halloween. That’s something we hope our customers can be proud to be a part of,” said Horstman.

Ready for fall yet? http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/2011/08/new-vera-wang-lingerie-ready-for-fall-yet/ http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/2011/08/new-vera-wang-lingerie-ready-for-fall-yet/#comments Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:25:30 +0000 Brigitte http://www.the-lingerie-post.com/?p=17578 Although summer’s still here, fall collection introductions start falling in our mailbox every now and then already. Vera Wangs diffusion line Simply Vera is the first to be introduced on your favorite lingerie blog. With Simply Vera, the designer tries to combine style, comfort, and affordability – a combination that is hard to find, especially that last bit. Vera Wang designs Simply Vera exclusively for Kohl’s as a designer private label, which means high quality at a nice price. Her nonchalant approach to style and luxury is reflected in the pieces she designs for her store brand, as it is in her official line.

Simplicity is the keyword for the intimate fall collection. Soft fabrics, neat designs, comfortable sleepwear, it’s all there. The feminine touch is never forgotten: fine linings, lace or satin details and perfect and flirty draping. These all contribute to the female form the designer wants to emphasize. Furthermore you can dream away while it’s raining outside in boyish oversized brushed twill shirts or pants and tops. The colors are friendly and soft.

The Simply Vera lingerie collection is available now at Kohl’s department store, and online at www.kohls.com. You’d almost think you’ve had enough of summer, wouldn’t you?

Lauren Skerritt and Poppy Wainwright-Sexton of Beautiful Bottoms prove otherwise. Although these women have a very different background, their passion for lingerie drove them together. Lauren was raised in South-Africa and is a persistent intuitive spirit, whilst Poppy is a more down-to-earth woman thoroughly convinced that a business is not just designing and dreaming but also accounting and thinking.

In 2007 they combined their strengths and started Beautiful Bottoms together. They were dedicated to designing knickers and bras in soft, delicate, wearable shapes, without forgetting to include elements of luxury and subtlety. Combining vibrant prints and lighter shapes in feel-good fabrics like pure silk became their trademark, creating pieces both wearer and – not unimportant – viewer can enjoy.

The new collection contains just that: flirty frills on both bras and knickers, playsuits and camisoles in enthusiastic colors and prints. Lauren and Poppy draw their inspiration from their personal love for printed silks and European vintage prints of the past centuries and it’s noticeable: the style has romantic chique all over it. However delicate the material, practically all pieces are adjustable to ensure the perfect fit. Rich colors ensure great looking lingerie on all skin tones. Most pieces are flattering to all figures.

Essential #1 has already been in heavy rotation for me since the temperatures in NYC have risen!  Why is this piece so critical? Well, first of all, the Commando Mini-Cami Slip is light so the extra layer isn’t bulky and because it is moisture-wicking, it doesn’t attract extra heat.  Furthermore, the hem is weighted so I don’t have to deal with the A-line shaped slip riding up.  My favorite facet, however, is the length.  Hitting mid-thigh, this little number is perfect under my shorter summer dresses.  Since most of those dresses are also made of lighter fabrics, the slip keeps me from showing all my business!

The Commando Mini-Cami Slip retails for $78 and is worth every penny.  There are a few left in stock at Journelle (where I got mine). You can also check out Bare Necessities which also has full and half slip options.  For the full collection (including the new Whisper Weight Half Slip),check out the Her Look website.  Happy Shopping!

For years, I struggled accommodating my full bust into swimsuits.  I tried buying XL tops in hopes of containing my assets, but because I’m so narrow around, the fit was never quite correct.  I could never quite tie the straps around my neck and back tight enough.  I could hardly enjoy myself because I was spending so much time fidgeting with my suit.  And then…I met Freya!

I couldn’t believe that fun swimsuits could actually fit!  Freya (and sister brand, Fantasie) swimsuits are bra-sized and designed to fit a wide range of sizes.   Freya and Fantasie are sold at leading retailers including Bare Necessities, Linda’s, Town Shop, Asos, The Little Bra Shop, and Brastop.

It’s an area of lingerie I don’t feel like I’ve explored enough-but every now and then, pictures like the ones below will have my jaw on the floor and have me asking myself “why not?”! I think you’ll agree, all of these pieces from Ooh La Latex are stunning!

Ooh La Latex is made by an experienced latex designer based in London. While the garments are offered in standard sizing, they can also be made to measure-for free! Ooh La Latex takes requests for custom items and can also alter designs a bit (for example, if you wish to have a different color). In addition to lingerie, they also offers latex clothing and accessories. You can find Ooh La Latex on Etsy or at OohLaLatex.com.

I was at Journelle a couple of weeks ago to say hello to the lovely lingeristas there and see what was new for spring. I was impressed, as always, with the great selection of spring pieces. The color palettes were just delightful! I stopped in my tracks when I noticed a new name among my favorites – Unforeseen Circumstances. I asked Mara (one of the Journelle lovelies) about the brand and she informed me that the brand was New York based and had been in the store for only a short while. I couldn’t wait to find out more!

The Unforeseen Circumstances site features images of the intriguing vintage-inspired collection as well as other inspiration. Just like the pieces in the collection, this site has depth and character and displays an ethereal, yet rich femininity.

I look forward to bringing you more information on Unforeseen Circumstances in the coming months! For now, you can shop for a few of the items at Journelle, including my favorite, the chic Nouveau High Waisted Brief.  Love!
