The label focusses on two lines. “Mes Parures” (much more boring translated to My Ornaments), a basic underwear line – and “Mes Petites Culottes” (My little panties). All very, very cute and girly – but too bad for all of us, only available in selected boutiques in France.

As soon as I find a webshop selling these; I’ll keep you posted!

Since we don’t normally feature lingerie for men, I’m happy to report that Pull-In also offers a wide range of clothing for women including knickers and bras as well as swim, sport, shirts, and dresses. The photos featuring models are from the company website.

With more than 80 locations in France and some surrounding areas, Pull-In is growing. The close-ups in this article are from the online store and you can use the links to purchase from Pull-In. There are plans to offer an online store for US shoppers too and a concept store in Hong Kong.

On the left is the Passion string for € 30.00. On the right is the Venice swim top in brown with polka dots for € 32.00.

On the left is the James Bond inspired swim bottom for € 35.00. On the right is part of their leggings and activewear for € 39.00.

On the left is the Delicious bikini side knicker for € 39.00. On the right, some of the male-inspired knicker in pink and white for € 28.00.

Although I am told that the concept in general is “punk-style”, I actually think this is a great looking group of shorts, tees, camis, capris, long pants and underpanties. The “Loungen” set made of cotton and spandex comes in black, checkerboard and dream skull. The dream skull is much cuter than the name implies with its white, black and green geometrical shaped design. The “Boxed Up” elastic waist shorts had me mesmerized with the black and white design. And all of the pieces are mix and match to create a funky look and to ensure the right sizing.

I can understand why young girls would gravitate to this brand.

Sponsored by Freshpair.com, The 6th Annual National Underwear Day will be celebrated this Tuesday, August 5th. For the first time, National Underwear Day will be going indoors as a VIP event. In the past, National Underwear Day featured a runway show in the middle of Times Square. While this year will not include the show in Times Square, the legendary National Underwear Day giveaways will still take place around New York City with free “fresh pairs” being distributed to thousands on the New York City streets.

This doesn’t mean that you still can’t celebrate! Whether you are in New York or New Delhi, South Dakota or South America, you can do something to honor your undergarments. Here are some suggestions:

* Wear your favorite pair.
* Buy looks from the runway show at Freshpair.com for yourself.
* Buy looks from the runway show at Freshpair.com for someone else.
* Donate new underwear to a shelter.

I wouldn’t recommend performing your own runway show, unless, of course, it is behind closed doors.

Feel free to share more ideas in our forums. Happy celebrating!

The winning photo is a self-portrait that depicts Degollado dancing on a couch in a tank top and boyshorts. Her caption was, “This feels right because the photo is the perfect example of being free, young, and being yourself. FREEDOM feels right, and is something we all want. And being yourself is something we should all be, rather than doing what everyone else is doing.”

TLP sat down for a quick chat with Jessica which resulted in a quick mini-interview!

Q: How did you end up sending in your winning photo?
A: I was on MySpace one day, and saw the advertisement for the contest on the main page. I decided to give it a shot, since photography is my life. So I entered the contest and hoped that I would win.

Q: Do you often walk around the house in your underwear?
A: I do, actually, but only when I’m alone in the house. When I lived in Chicago, I’d do it a lot in my apartment. That always reminded me of Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson’s character) in Lost in Translation, and how she would always be in her underwear in her apartment in Japan.

Q: Would you call yourself a real lingerista?
A: I’d say so. I’ve always loved buying lingerie…but especially underwear. I absolutely love underwear.

Congratulations, Jessica!

Hope to see you there on August 5th!

Of the collection, Wang said, “Simply Vera Vera Wang is not just fashion, but a total philosophy about life and style.” I’m a fan of the seamless hipster, which is one of the most comfortable and invisible ones I’ve tried yet – great for days I’m not in the mood for a thong but still don’t want panty lines to show!

You can find these and more designs at Kohl’s stores or on the Kohl’s website.

On thing — why are some of these over-photoshopped? She’s gorgeous — why spoil things? Oh well…

Sorry, didn’t have them in high-res — it’s only a quick intermezzo!

Fleur’t is possibly best known for its super comfortable and super soft lulu’s boy pant! To accommodate the wide range of women who swear by this staple, lulu’s boy pant are now available in two new sizes – Petite/Small and Large/Large in addition to the already existing Small/Medium and Medium/Large! And the sizes aren’t the only new addition. Fleur’t has added an assortment of fun, eye-popping colors and cute, sassy patterns. I’m a fan of the solids papaya and pink lavender as the patterns lemongrass damask and rose giraffe! Also find these colors and patterns in the low-rise thong, lace v-thong, and g-string. The lulu collection, which in addition to the boy pant and low-rise thong, includes a bralet, criss-cross cami, lace strap cami, long cami, criss-cross chemise, and a new yoga pant! Mix and match them all for a cute and cozy look. The amber collection is a fleur’t favorite featuring pretty lace overlays. Again, the pieces in this group can be mixed and matched. In addition to the camis and chemise, the amber collection is noted for its delicate kimono robe. New to the amber collection are a lace bralet and matching ½ lace thong boy.

Spring/Summer 2008

The Spring/Summer collection is already in stores and will continue to appear in stores over the next few months. One new group for spring, valerie, features heathered rayon spandex in black and grey edged with ivory stretch cluny lace. Both the empire cami and chemise are marked by a very fleur’ty open front. The same stretch lace accents both the tunic and cropped ruffle pant.

I love the chantal group as it reflects a new trend in fleur’t lingerie – prints! Made of silk charmeuse and overlaid with lace, chantal is perfect for lounging or sleeping. In addition to hot pink and aqua, the lace bust cami and chemise and coordinating boxer short also is available in coral swirl or aqua swirl prints.

With spring comes an influx of weddings, so vanessa is perfect for the blushing bride. Choose from a lace front low-rise thong, lace bralet, and lace bust cami and chemise.

Speaking of prints (again), jessica is an all print group that evokes a youthful spirit! Pair the cami with the matching lace brief or long wide leg pant or the chemise with the lace v-thong. Prints include pink leopard, green floral, pink polka dot, and ivory polka dot!

If all of this wasn’t already enough, lulu has to make an impression on spring! Look for lulu in light, airy springy colors like white, sky, and pink! In April, lulu is available in pink, lemon, and seafoam before brightening things up in May with whimsical colors like fuchsia, papaya, and orchid. Perfect for the tropical vacation you will need around that time! After all that fun, it will be time for rest and relaxation. Muted colors like ivory, pink, and black are accented with a silvery shade called dove, reflecting the calm and serene onset of summer.

There are so many other exciting elements to the collection including more prints, more bright colors, and more styles. I love the low rise ruched back panty in the amy collection as I think the ruched looked is absolutely darling and flatters the female form. Additionally, it is edged with a sweet heart shaped elastic, which I am sure will make it popular with lots of ladies. I also like the agatha collection as it offers a new tunic dress for the client who wants a little more coverage. In the caroline collection, there are a range of styles with a variety of coverage options. Choose from the spaghetti strapped, lace bust cami and chemise or the lace tank and tank dress featuring wider straps for additional coverage.
