Looks For Less: Chemises

January 15, 2009 by Kelly

Even if you don’t have the money to spend on expensive lingerie, it doesn’t mean you don’t have the taste for it! I’ve found a range of lookalike pieces that may help satisfy your craving for some of the more costly, but gorgeous, chemises out there right now. Under each row of pictures are links to the websites where you can purchase each of the pieces to make your own look. I can’t say that the less expensive pieces will all live up to the inspirations, in cut or fabric quality. But if you’re on a budget or still experimenting with what you like and what looks best on you, these could be some nice guilt-free alternatives.

Chantelle Chantilly Chemise (UK/US); Victoria’s Secret Satin & Chantilly Lace Slip; Leg Avenue Belle Du Jour Mini Dress

Simone Perele Paradis Ivory Nightdress; VS Logo Lace Halter Babydoll; Dreamy Stretch Lace Babydoll and Thong Set (use our exclusive coupon code “lingeriepost” to get the price shown above!)

Marjolaine Lingerie

October 25, 2008 by Kelly

When I was searching for the Marjolaine Lingerie website, I discovered that marjolaine is actually a kind of layered chocolate dessert. While I’ve never had it before, just looking at the photos has my mouth watering! Like it’s namesake, Marjolaine Lingerie looks exquisite and wonderfully indulgent. Comprised of chemises and nightgowns with a few other sleepwear pieces thrown into the mix, Marjolaine seems to have two distinct moods. Some pieces in the collection are light, airy, and girly with feminine prints and floral patterns. On the other hand, there is also a large variety of perfectly sensual pieces with perfectly incorporated lace. Then there are a few chemises that meet in the middle, with the seductive styles created in bright, energetic colors.

Marjolaine’s designer, Carole Guerin, uses lycra, satin, muslin, lace, and silk in these gorgeous designs. I don’t have a lot of information beyond that; even the English translation of the Marjolaine website has the company information written in French. So I’ll just show you the dreamy photographs!

You can find Marjolaine at BeCheeky, Elouise Lingerie, Chi Chi Lingerie, and Cazar.

Support Breast Cancer Awareness

September 11, 2008 by Krista

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here are two ways you can look good and feel good about your purchases.

Help Hanky Panky reach its $10,000 donation goal by purchasing a Breast Cancer Awareness Thong. The pink thong (available in both original and low rise) is adorned with a Swarovski-encrusted Breast Cancer Awareness symbol. Hanky Panky will donate $2 from the sale of each Breast Cancer Awareness Thong to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Susan G. Komen for the Cure works to save lives and end breast cancer. Do your part by purchasing the Hanky Panky thong at Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue.

Support Smart & Sexy in its initiative to also raise funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. $1 from every specially-marked pink garment sold in October will go to this amazing cause. See a sampling of some of the products below. With such a bang for the buck, you can stock up and save lives! Purchase here. Additionally, you might also be interested in knowing that the great team behind Smart & Sexy will be participating in the race as a company.

Hats off to both Hanky Panky and Smart & Sexy for their efforts!
