Nicknamed Combat Barbie by her fellow soldiers, Hodge is a unique 22-year-old who was awarded a medal of bravery for disarming an insurgent while on tour of Iraq. She has recently been promoted to the level of Corporal.

“I’m so proud of this campaign and I really hope that it encourages other high street stores to offer discounts to men and women in the armed forces,” she said.

How does she feel about her newfound fame? “I am enjoying the attention and profile, but my job is still as an Army soldier,” she said. “I love the Army life and if this encourages more women to join up, then that would be brilliant.”

My favorites are the Shipwreck Collection in Yellow and the Lipstick Vintage in Pink.  The color combination of the yellow and green in Shipwreck is fresh and fun.  The ruffles add a coquettish touch and the anchor detailing on the front of the panty is just plain cute!  The Lipstick Vintage Tank is to die for!  From the front, it’s just another pretty tank, but from the back, a printed satin ribbon laces up and ties at the top.  Too cute!  Pair with your choice with g-string, thong, or hot short.

Check out the rest of the collection on the Bebe site and find your favorites.  Also, check out La Senza for styles as well.

You can browse all the pirces of the collection on the La Senza site — which also has a contest running allowing two lucky fans a backstage pass at a Pussycat Dolls concert.

With names like Snowplush, Cozy, Polar Star, Holiday Dots and Ultra Soft, you cannot go wrong when purchasing one of these housecoats either to wear yourself on a cold night staying home or to give to a friend as a gift. They look great with other pieces of the La Senza lingerie group such as the camisoles or bras and panties. Add some cute sayings emblazoned on the backs of the robes in embroidery or metallic patches and they become chic lounge wear.

In long or short lengths, shawl collars or hooded, complete with pockets and tie belts, these playful robes designed with hearts, polka dots and animals are made in a variety of colours including fuschia fantasy, palace blue, lime green, royal quartz, cosmo red, jujube pink, and the old standbys black and white.

Although La Senza does offer considerable discounts for multiple purchases on selected items such as bras and pyjama bottoms, the robes do not carry any discounts. But I did notice that when I placed a robe in my shopping cart, there was a ten percent discount for customers that hold the La Senza Prestige Card. Personally I think it is great when customers are rewarded for their purchases with actual cash instead of free bags and token gifts that no one uses. Plus in this tough economy, being rewarded with cold, hard cash is a pleasant surprise!

Encouraging women to take the Bra Fit Challenge by making the fitting fun and accessible, La Senza further states that the right bra “can improve posture, is much more comfortable to wear, and can be a fantastic confidence booster”. Expecting this venture to be a huge success, they are offering discounts for women who are fitted and women have the opportunity to win a year’s worth of lingerie.

Look for the pink bus in your neighbourhood marked with the slogan “The world looks bright when your bra fits right”.

La Senza has included a maternity chemise and lacy pajamas that also are also breastfeeding-friendly. More casual nightwear and cheeky knickers are also available to fit growing bellies.

Enjoy ‘m!
