Loulou Loves You Lingerie

March 31, 2008 by Bert

Loulou loves you is something else! What started out as a small range of knickers only a couple seasons ago has turned into a serious lingerie collection. Each piece from the Loulou Loves You line is hand made using high quality fabrics, great attention to detail and particular care has been taken to make the sizing realistic.

Like I said, this all started with knickers, the designer’s big addiction, but right now the collection consists of matching Boudoir Jackets (totally frivolous but oh so satisfying!) as well as garters and bows which double as hair pins and brooches.

When we asked the designer her views on her lingerie she said: “I would like to see buying lingerie to become as popular as treating yourself to a haircut or getting your nails done. Lingerie is in that bracket, something that makes you feel good about yourself. I think all women agree that when you are wearing something beautiful under your clothing then you feel all the more attractive. Lingerie doesn’t need to be for your partner, it should be ultimately for you, then of course he or she gets a bonus treat too!”

Currently you can purchase Loulou Loves You through their own online shop and also at the luxury lingerie boutique ‘Dirty Pretty Things’ in Sydney, Australia. Check out the official Loulou loves you lingerie site too!

Award Winning Carol Malony

February 21, 2008 by Krista

While at the Curve NY show, I was able to see the always sassy and stylish Carol Malony collections – Carol Malony Signature

There are a number of other collections in this group I am eager to see in stores this Fall! “Enchanted” follows a unique, Carol Malony trend of matching muted colors with a pop of neon. Made of French stretch lace and silk chiffon in muted lavender, this seemingly sweet set shows its sassiness with a neon green edge to the Bloomer Panty as well as the same pop of color to the bra. This one-of-a-kind, Carol Malony “WOW” factor is also seen in the racy, leopard mesh, “Here Kitty Kitty” and the bright and colorful lace and silk satin, “Tropical Punch.”

Want to see more? See the full collection on the Carol Malony website.

In the Fall 2008 Carol Malony Signature collection, the glitz and glamour of the cabaret is evoked in each piece, while still retaining the Carol Malony flair. With bows, sequins, feathers, and fringe, you’ll have fun channeling your inner vixen in pieces like “Tiny Dancer,” “Heart Throb,” and “Well Red.”

Want to satisfy your Carol Malony craving now? A few of my favorites from the Spring 2008 collection are shown below. For more information on where you can purchase Carol Malony, see here.

Mint Siren: Burlesque-inspired Retro Lingerie

January 3, 2008 by Mandolina

The British lingerie label Mint Siren is brand new to us, but seeing as Faire Frou Frou just stocked them as the first boutique in the US — we can’t wait to introduce you all to the pure divinity of these pieces — hold on to your horses!

The official Mint Siren website introduces the brand as follows: “Mint Siren was created in 2005 by the Swedish designer Josefine Wing, and quickly became a favorite for many vixens around the world. Using high quality fabrics like silk satins and chiffon, deep pile cotton velvets, rich wools and power stretch netting Mint Siren has created a style that marries romantic retro flavor with modern fashion. There are obvious ties with traditions of burlesque, but Mint Siren offers styles that invite to be used with your regular wardrobe.”

When we look at the high resolution photos we’ve gotten, we can only be amazed. The pure luxury of these pieces is so obvious. They’re not cheap — but seeing as you’re clearly getting value for money that’s not even a bad thing. You’re getting a total package; quality and the x-factor. I can only agree with Faire Frou Frou’s Alison Rubke when she says: “Her [Josefine Wing] philosophy is to create flattering, sensual clothing with a retro flavor for the modern woman. Her brand is described as being lavish and provocative; designed for ladies with a passion for extravagance. It’s about having fun with your femininity.”

I’m pretty much convinced. The label isn’t limited to lingerie though, so their website is well worth a visit. Check ‘m out — and if you end up buying something, tell us how much you liked it on the TLP forums! 🙂

Decadent new products from And God Created Woman

November 26, 2007 by Mandolina

Last time we mentioned And God Created Woman on The Lingerie Post, we were ecstatic about the decadent pieces they had shown us — and here we are today with even more absolutely luxurious accessories from AGCW!

Nerys really has done it again: a satin chiffon silk lingerie bag, super-soft silk cuffs for the ultimate spoildage (I invented the word!) and a gorgeous sheer silk kimono gown that’s guaranteed to make you feel like billionaire.

Excellent stuff, like last time. For more info and pictures, check out andgodcreatedwoman.co.uk!

Valery Lingerie Fall/Winter 2007

November 1, 2007 by Mandolina

Valery hasn’t gotten the attention it actually does deserve on The Lingerie Post. For many seasons, it’s one of the best selling Italian brands at Silk Storm, and their brand new AW07 collection is another excellent line of delicate and female lingerie.

My own little favorite is the stunning Caresse Balconette (Â£65 at SS, Â£45 for the matching briefs!) — but my friends seem to like the eccentric Douche De Champagne Lace Top (Â£185 with matching thong!), and I have to admit it’s the most eye-catching piece in the collection… 😉

Enjoy the sexy photos, straight from the Silk Storm website — if you feel like shopping, check them too! 🙂
