Rosy Lingerie Update

October 12, 2008 by Krista

Back in the summer, Rosy debuted in the U.S. You saw photos from the launch on TLP. As promised, here are some of the great promotional photos from this fantastic French brand. Absolutely beautiful!

Diablotine is a sassy, yet elegant range featuring retro-striped satin. The complete look contains a padded bra (with ribbon and lace detailing), mathcing thong, and corresponding (and very sexy) waistcincher accented with lacing.

Sensuelle is a delightfully sexy set composed of tempting tulle and exquisite embroidery. Available in a wired bra and coordinating brief.

Enjoleuse is sweet and sophisticated. Made of soft microfibre, the range features a contrasting organza trim. Choose between a wired bra and molded bra and between high leg knickers and flirty thong.

Sentimentale is an opulent lace and taffeta combination. Both the molded bra and wired bra feature an organza knot in the center. Match with a brief or thong. And don’t forget the waistcincher to complete the look!

For more on Rosy, see the website. Rosy is available at stores worldwide. For you lucky NYC ladies, Rosy has recently arrived at Journelle. Enjoy!

New and Old Favorites at Journelle

September 15, 2008 by Krista

The seasons have yet to change, but for all intents and purposes, it’s fall. Labor Day Weekend has come and gone, school has started, and before long, the air will be crisp and the leaves will be changing. Even if you aren’t going back to school, who says you can’t use this time to spruce up your drawers with some new fabulous fall pieces. If you are in the New York City area, you can count on Journelle to provide you ample options.New favorite, The Little Bra Company (first introduced on TLP by Kelly) is now available at Journelle! Lucia, the popular, contoured lace-push up bra is on shelves now, but I’m sure it will be flying off quickly, so stop by soon. The brand, which originally created bras in sizes 32 to 36 A and B cups, has now expanded to include 28 and 30 band sizes, which should make all you petite ladies very happy! See the website for more information (and a glimpse at the pretty new colors of Lucia available in a few short weeks!)

An old TLP favorite, Elle Macpherson Intimates, has more than a few stunners this fall. Summer never has to end with the alluring and vivacious Revel! In Urchin Green, the set features a sheer, underwire bra that can be paired with a coordinating bikini or thong. The set wouldn’t be complete without exquisite detailing – gorgeous embroidery and dainty bows. Delightful! The sultry and sexy Pavillion marries striking hot pink with inky black in a set that is guaranteed to keep your nights hot. Want to see the rest of the Fall collection? See my previous post here.
