Summer Sensations at Journelle

Krista — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:00:18 +0000

I recently stopped into Journelle, my favorite boutique in NYC, to see the summer selections. I noticed a trend of light, airy pieces perfect for the 90+ degree weather we are experiencing here!My favorite pieces were from Araks, a brand we haven’t mentioned much here on TLP, but clearly should more often! Sweet and simple, yet very sexy, the collection is made up of sheer bralettes, panties, camis, chemises, and an absolutely adorable teddy. Details like ruching, silk and lace trims, and contrasting colors give the collection a unique flair. Choose from basic colors like Black and Cream or more summery colors like Sun, Lapis, and Marine.

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!

To make a long story short — La Perla’s Black Label is the creme de la crème of La Perla lingerie, and is probably one of the most famous and loved lingerie collections of all time…

Yet another new label for The Lingerie Post, we’ve got pics of the Spring/Summer 2008 collection by Suggest bodywear. The label is actually part of the Pain de Sucre brand (a very hip French beachwear brand), and they specialize in camis and tops that are best described as “sexy and daring”. More information is on paindesucre.com, but they’re still showing photos of their Winter 07 collection — so you’re better off gazing at the photos here!

Ritratti Lingerie Spring/Summer 2008

Mandolina — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:30:53 +0000

Just got a big shipment of high resolution photos from Ritratti’s latest Spring/Summer collection in my mailbox — and obviously I’m here to not only share, but also show you my own little favorites from the SS08 collection of last year’s “designer of the year” winner at the Salon International de la Lingerie.

Overall, loving it. The luxury designer has done some great bra and panties sets — but I’m simply adoring the more decadent pieces; the lavender camisole, the sheer robe, the sheer lace top, the babydoll and the breathtaking white dress. They’re true highlights of a great collection! They’re trying to retain their “designer of the year” trophy at the Salon International de la Lingerie in Paris this week, I’m sure!

I’m sure you’re loving these as much as I am.

The Ritratti website isn’t the most high-tech one (their pics are), but they do have some goodies, so it’s worth checking out. On a swimwear note // beachwear.cc has all their bikinis and swimsuits for 2008 on display!

La Fille d’O opens boutique in her own living room

Mandolina — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 10:23:12 +0000

Murielle Scherre, the brain behind the atypical Belgian lingerie label la fille d’O is back with a unique lingerie concept. The whole first floor of her home has been turned into a lingerious place where everything is possible! What started out as “playing shop” with some friends quickly became serious business, and her former living room has been transformed into a lingerie loving room.

As a label, la fille d’O is very conscious of the fact that lingerie needs to support the mind as much as the body — and that’s why the people selling the lingerie pride themselves in establishing a somewhat different client-seller relationship than we usually see. There’s getting to know eachother — there’s trust — there’s discovering new things in a totally new environment…

All kinds of personal shopping options are available — but to all our Belgian readers I suggest you go take a look during regular opening hours… I’m sure the buzz is — great!

As a little extra, some more exciting and daring pictures from la fille d’O's latest collection — and their salon! For more info — check out the la fille d’O Myspace page!

For our Belgian readers:

Maison la fille d’O
Holstraat 91

Review: Secrets In Lace Garter Belt

Kelly — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 09:59:48 +0000

I went into this review unsure of what to expect. I had heard so many good things about Secrets In Lace garter belts, and I have been looking for a real, quality garter belt. The ones I already have just were not doing the job of standing up to a night out, and I was tired of being disappointed. Still, I have never really been drawn to any six-strap garter belt. Most seem big and utilitarian. When I asked Secrets In Lace for advice, they offered to send their Dominique garter belt for me to try, and I am thrilled to report back that this is one of the best pieces of lingerie I’ve worn in a long time! I feel enlightened in a way that can only be compared to the way I felt the first time I bought a real quality bra in my correct size. I can tell that this is a start of a new lingerie addiction for me, and I’m excited!

As soon as the package arrived at my door, I raced to try on my new garter belt. I looked in the mirror, and was relieved and pleased to find that it didn’t feel big or utilitarian at all! I felt very glamorous and classic (and secretly, I decided that it looks even better on me than it does on the model). I wore it out the very next night with Secrets in Lace’s Signature RHT (reinforced heel and toe) nylon stockings. I was thrilled to find that the both the stockings and garter belt stood up to a full night of walking, sitting, and climbing on a bar’s arcade games (as glamorous as I felt, the kid in me still found it impossible to resist those games!). I was absolutely comfortable all night, and not once did I worry about anything slipping or being out of place. The garter belt has a five secure hook and eye closures, and three columns for adjustment (like your bras). The metal garter grips didn’t move a bit once I secured them, and were a snap to adjust. I loved the little details worked into this supportive garter belt, like the hold-down threads that keep the ribbons in place. Honestly, I cannot think of one thing I disliked about my Dominique garter belt! In fact, as soon as I’m done writing this article I’m going to order the Intrigue, which is made from the same pattern. I can’t have only one of these in my wardrobe!

I fell just as hard for the stockings I wore with the belt. The vintage-style 100% nylon stockings are silky smooth, sheer, and made my legs look amazing! The ones I wore were the Secrets In Lace Signature RHT stockings, which are produced on a circular loom (so there is no backseam). If you want even more retro glamour, you can try their fully fashioned stockings, which I discussed in a previous article. One consideration when wearing nylon stockings is to realize that there is no lycra or spandex. Nailing down your fit may be a bit trickier because of this, and sometimes a long night may cause the stockings to fit differently around the knees and ankles over the hours. But really, experimentation is half the fun and you gain so much from nylon’s sheerness. I kept stealing glances in mirrors all night and smoothing my skirt more than I had to, just so I could touch my stockings again!

There are coordinated bullet bras, slips, camisoles, silk thongs, tap pants, and wraps in the Dominique Collection. You can find these, as well as many other beautiful garter belts and stockings at SecretsInLace.com. If you have any questions that I didn’t answer, just ask me in the forums!

New La Perla Signature Limited Edition lingerie

Mandolina — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 11:33:32 +0000

“Pure femininity and exquisite taste and sophistication. La Perla Signature collections blend unparalleled perfection in craftsmanship with elegance and glamour of the highest level. Fatal encounters between delicate lace and tulle create patterned transparencies on the body by way of light gathers and overlappings…”

La Perla at its very best — sheer, sexy, innovative and high quality fabrics. Again I won’t be able to even try these on seeing as they’re not only out of my budget range, but also because there’s no boutiques anywhere close to where I live… Life is tough. Oh well — I’ll just enjoy staring at the pics — feel free to join in!

Want to go shopping? They’re all available at Nancy Meyer!
