Summer Sensations at Journelle

June 12, 2008 by Krista

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!

Cheap Thrills from Forever 21

June 3, 2008 by Kelly

I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that I stopped at the mall last week just to buy a crappy dinner of greasy Chinese food and hot pretzels. I’m almost as embarrassed to admit that when I saw a lace camisole in a display window of a discount teen store, I couldn’t resist popping in to see what else they had. Forever 21, a chain mall store with which our Canadian and US readers are probably familiar, has never been known for its quality.

Trendy, inexpensive clothing can be found there, however, and lately the lingerie selection online and in stores has really been expanding. While you can’t expect to find anything there that will last you a very long time, if you are on a budget you can find some short-term gems. You can pick up a sweet and sexy set for under $10, like the yellow “Taryn” combination, and the quality really isn’t that bad considering that we’re talking about panties that cost less than that hot pretzel I ate for dinner. You can stock up on ruffled and floral knickers for yourself and a sheer black bra for nights at home!

The inventory at these stores is always changing, so you may not have these exact pieces near you (but you may have something better!). As for me, I did end up buying two lace-trimmed chemises. The fit is a bit odd so I won’t be wearing this to show off for anyone, but the silky burgundy and creamy lace peeking out of the top of my dresses hints at even better things underneath!

Sulis Silks Lingerie – New Spring Catalogue

May 27, 2008 by Brenda

Sulis Silks Ltd. has launched two new collections, Tivoli and Camille, with their May spring catalogue. And the individual pieces are incredible! Indeed, silk is always a gorgeous lingerie fabric but the Camille ensemble in delicate floral embroidery on semi sheer net and silk is decadent and heavenly. Tivoli is a pretty aqua colour stretch lace on pure silk that sweeps the wearer off to faraway lands with its dreamy feel.

Camille is a wonderful collection of silk panties, chemise, babydoll, bra, suspender (garter) and string. Three selections of panties, French knickers, hip-hugging briefs, and string thong, make purchasing a difficult choice. Blue flowers with black accent embroidery meticulously placed over the pink or blue silk with a tiny bow on the knickers’ waistband, ribbon detailing on the briefs, and brown stretch ruffle on the thong are all elegant designs. Matching underwire bra and suspender work perfectly with the thong creating a very sexy yet stated outfit. The babydoll with lined embroidered cups, delicate, adjustable straps and cross over front combines with any of the three style panties making a sweet little ensemble. But the chemise is striking, made of six panels, lace bust, deep lace hem, and tiny bows adorning the hem and middle of the breasts.

Tivoli, a more revealing collection than the Camille as the garments are not lined in the bust area, includes a camisole, French knickers, bra, briefs, suspender, chemise, nightdress and string panties. Sumptuous, three-quarter length nightdress is exciting with its pretty laced, single side split, tiny rosebud, spaghetti straps and lace bust.

Both the camisole and chemise are equally pretty. But the Tivoli thong is even sweeter than the Camille as the silk is completely covered with stretch lace in the shape of a panty ending with a tulle frill.

Further, Sulis Silks’ luxurious plain silk kimonos match in colour to the above selections allowing the purchaser to add more pieces to their own collection. Based in the UK, Sulis Silks ships internationally and offers sizes from ten to twenty.

Juliana Martins Lingerie Photoshoot – Know the label?

May 22, 2008 by Mandolina

TLP reader Stephen from Stockholm sent me an e-mail earlier this week with these photos attached, asking whether or not I knew what lingerie label these pieces are from. He said: “My girlfriend’s birthday is just 4 weeks away and I want to get her that red lace dress!”. He’s talking about the beautiful chemise in the first photo — and because he’s a boy to my taste (he’s looking to buy lacey lingerie, he’s approved!) I’m asking his question to the rest of the TLP audience as I just don’t know the answer myself…

If anyone knows — please get in touch through the comments, the forums or by e-mail. Stephen (and I) will be very, very grateful! 😉

Hanky Panky Does Hollywood

May 16, 2008 by Krista

So, you know by now that I am a fan of Hanky Panky. Well, apparently so are a lot of Hollywood leading ladies both on and off the set. Keep your eyes peeled for a peek in some of this summer’s blockbusters!

Cameron Diaz, starring in this summer’s What Happens in Vegas, is a fan of the Hanky Panky signature boy short. She ordered quite a few for filming.

The set stylist for the new M. Night Shyamalan movie, The Happening, ordered a number of the signature Hanky Panky thongs for star Zooey Deschanel.

Hanky Panky Thongs

Catch her if you can! Katherine Hiegl sports a pair of white cotton modal boyshorts in her upcoming romantic comedy, The Ugly Truth while Marisa Tomei wears Hanky Panky bras, boyshorts, and camis in The Wrestler. While you may not catch a glimpse, Kristen Bell will be donning her low-rise thongs under her many outifts in When in Rome. And as art (or film for that matter) imitates life, look for a scene in the upcoming Confessions of a Shopaholic in which female shoppers pick up panties, camis, and more at a sample sale!

So get hip to Hanky Panky. And not just because these celebrities (and I) love the brand, but because every item is actually as comfortable as they claim. Hanky Panky bras, boyshorts, camis, chemises, and thongs are available in boutiques and department stores worldwide including Bloomingdales and Bare Necessities. And while you are buying some new boyshorts, don’t forget to try the new Hanky Panky Lingerie Wash. I tried it myself the other day and loved the results!

Happy shopping (and watching)!
