Wear Yellow for the New Year

December 29, 2008 by Kelly

What color knickers will you be wearing on New Year’s Eve? If you’re like me, you hadn’t thought that far ahead yet. But if you’re like many women around the world, you have already picked out your yellow panties in preparation for the big day. In many Spanish-speaking countries, wearing yellow panties at the stroke of midnight as the New Year turns is thought to bring wealth and good luck in the coming year. Yellow is the color of choice because it is most closely associated with gold. Tradition says you must cast away your old undies at the stoke of midnight and put on a yellow pair. There are some details to keep in mind, however: to be lucky, they must be brand new; for extra luck, you can wear them inside out. The folklore only applies to women, not men, and other kinds of lingerie (like bras, slips, and garter belts) don’t count. If your knickers were given to you as a gift, they are said to be the luckiest of all.

The tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was forbidden for Spaniards to wear bright colors. People believed wearing yellow would bring them good fortune, so they wore the lucky shade as underwear, which couldn’t be seen. If you’re looking for love next year, wear red instead of yellow. Here are some cute yellow panties I found at HerRoom.com from Honeydew and Ed Hardy, which you can hopefully find at a store near you in time for the big day:

Celebrities’ Favorite Lingerie

July 15, 2008 by Kelly

Tabloids and magazines always follow the fashion trends set by celebrities, but their lingerie is obviously a harder thing to keep track of! HerRoom.com has the dirt on your favorite singers’ and actresses’ underwear choices. Some seem to fit their personalities perfectly, while others are a surprise! It’s also nice to know that even when they make enough money to buy whatever they want, celebrities still prefer the brands that the rest of us rely on. Here are some of the most interesting choices:Elle MacPherson bra

Ivanka Trump and Kirstie Alley like the Elle Macpherson Intimates Coranto Contour bra, a demi bra with delicate lace and molded underwire cups. Beyonce was also featured in Blender Magazine wearing this bra.

Elle MacPherson bra

Eva Longoria included Elle Macpherson Intimate’s Dentelle Countour Bra in her wedding trousseau, and Katherine McPhee wore it in Stuff magazine.

Katherine Zeta Jones wears Sassybax’s Torso Trim Camisole while filming movies to smooth her figure and whittle her waist on the big screen. You thought that stunning figure was natural, but she actually has a little help!

Honeydew Rumba panties

Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpon, and Rebecca Romijn all love Honeydew. Paris goes for the Rumba Panty while Jessica and Rebecca prefer the Mesh Boyshorts. They had better stock up; the style is being discontinued and it’s on final sale!

HR_jessicaalba.jpgEven Jessica Alba welcomed some help from Spanx in “The Fabulous Four” to look her best in her costume.

Hanro Simply Satin

Nicole Kidman is reportedly a big fan of Hanro panties, and even personally chose the Simply Satin V Camisole and the Simply Satin Hi-Cut Briefs to wear in “Eyes Wide Shut.”

Chantelle Africa

The absolutely gorgeous Chantelle Africa collection is a favorite of both Hillary Swank and Emmy Award winner Mariska Hargitay. Hargitay’s favorite color is Ebony, which definitely shows off the delicate detailing.

Dolly Parton, who is notoriously unashamed of her assets, still knows that sometimes you don’t need to advertise everything. She has reportedly bought hundreds of Fashion Forms Satin Breast Petals.

To see more (like the women who love Hanky Panky and all the Chantelle fans), visit the HerRoom.com website.

Riviera Runway Boutique – A New Discovery

April 17, 2008 by Krista

Honeydew Lazy Daisy BraletHoneydew Lazy Daisy BoyshortI recently had the challenge of trying to find the Honeydew Lazy Daisy Bralet and Boyshort online. A friend of mine, who is getting married next month, fell in love with this set, but unfortunately, they did not have her size in the color she wanted (white for her wedding!). So, I have spent the past two weeks tracking down this apparently popular set. After trying a number of my favorite sites with no luck (wrong sizes, wrong colors), I stumbled upon Riviera Runway Fashion Online Boutique. And lucky for me, they had exactly what I wanted!

While I was a little apprehensive about trying a new site, the clock is ticking, so I had to jump on it. Navigating the site was easy and the check out process was a breeze. I appreciated the follow up email detailing my purchase. The set was shipped the following day and arrived neatly packaged a few days later.

The site features swimwear brands like L*Space and Luli Fama and lingerie brands including Undrest and Dessous. While the number of brands featured is small, the selection is decent and the purchasing process is easy. I would definitely use this site again.
