Fantasie Swimwear 08 09

June 1, 2008 by Krista

We talked about the Freya Swimwear for this season a couple hours ago. Now, we focus on the latest Fantasie line!

Seattle is the basic of the Fantasie collections. All suits are available in Black with most also being available in the rich, vibrant Peacock! Choose the top that compliments your figure best – balcony, sweetheart padded, halter triangle, or bandeau tankini. Pair with the classic brief, short, or control brief all featuring the added touch of a belt. Want more coverage? A v-neck one piece with control lining is also available.

Marrakesh, available in Black, features both a plain and Moroccan inspired print. Mix and match choosing from a balcony bikini or halter triangle bikini top and a deep brief with belt or fold brief. A one piece is also available.

Print is also present in the Honolulu collection. Top options include a balcony bikini and underwire tankini. Bottom options include a classic brief and fold brief. All items are available in Peacock.

Not that you would want to cover up any of these amazing designs, but sometimes you just have to! Both lines offer very cute and classy cover ups. South Beach, a jersey dress by Freya, is available in both White and Coco. Cairo, a kaftan by Fantasie, is available in Black and Bitter Chocolate.

Look for all of these collections to hit stores later this fall. Perfect for that winter getaway you’ll need to take. In the meantime, summer is practically here! You still have time to snag a sexy (and well-fitting) suit for all the pool and beach hopping you plan to do this summer. Explore the current Freya and Fantasie swimwear collections at stores worldwide and online, including TLP favorite Boudiche as well as Lion’s Lair Specialty Swim and Belle Lingerie. I’ll be sure to let you know about my choice in the forums! Happy shopping!

Buying Lingerie for Mothers

May 5, 2008 by Brenda

With Mother’s Day so close, I started thinking about how so many people make the mistake of buying inappropriate lingerie for their mothers. Now just to be clear, this is not a Mother’s Day article because buying lingerie for our mothers at any time of the year for any occasion can be fraught with some uncertainty and consternation. So I decided to impart my advice regarding the “dos and don’ts” of giving our respectful and wise mothers lingerie as gifts.

Let’s get the Do Not Buy List out of the way so we can move on to the more positive aspects of giving lingerie to our mothers. While some of you may not agree with all these points feeling perhaps that you are close enough to your mother to purchase taboo items, it is in most instances prudent, especially for male members of the family, to follow some form of decorum such as found in the following:

  • Do not buy panties, thongs or g-strings. This is too intimate to be purchased by sons.
  • Do not buy crotch-less or peek-a-boo numbers.
  • If a daughter is purchasing the gift, do not buy items that are emblazoned with swear words, sexual innuendoes and vulgar connotations. These items are best left for your girlfriends.
  • Stay away from flimsy and sexy items that are better suited as gifts from a husband or significant other on Valentine’s Day.

Acceptable and well appreciated lingerie that may be bought as gifts for mothers:

  • Tasteful matching gown and robe.
  • A pretty new flannelette nightgown or pair of cotton pyjamas.
  • Mothers always like to receive new housecoats.
  • A lovely kaftan, hand painted kimono or lounging outfit.
  • A beach cover-up for mothers who travel, cruise or use the pool.
  • Dainty lingerie bags, hangers and sachets for storing her fine lingerie
  • A gift certificate from a lingerie company allowing Mother to choose the correct size, colour and style of her garment.

So please, the next time you think of purchasing lingerie for your mother, think tactfully and choose pieces that will be appreciated and will embarrass no one.
