The most beautiful lingerie and swimwear in the world...
We only mention Sloggi every so often, mainly because it’s not really the lingerie lover’s label, but today I decided 16 months of no-Sloggi is more than enough. Here’s a quick photo post with eight looks of Sloggi’s brand new Fall/Winter 2009-2010 range, available in stores worldwide right now!
If you need more of a Sloggi-fix, head over to www.sloggi.com!
I know we’re already looking at winter lines – but I’ve decided to show you these images of Variance’s Spring/Summer 2009 lingerie line anyway, because it’s a label we have yet to show you, and for a brand that’s been going strong in France for 30 years – that’s just wrong.
The label focusses on two lines. “Mes Parures” (much more boring translated to My Ornaments), a basic underwear line – and “Mes Petites Culottes” (My little panties). All very, very cute and girly – but too bad for all of us, only available in selected boutiques in France.
As soon as I find a webshop selling these; I’ll keep you posted!
Pull-In is a lifestyle brand. I think of Diesel when I browse the offerings. Pull-In is from France and one can guess that they may have taken their name from offering mens briefs.
Since we don’t normally feature lingerie for men, I’m happy to report that Pull-In also offers a wide range of clothing for women including knickers and bras as well as swim, sport, shirts, and dresses. The photos featuring models are from the company website.
With more than 80 locations in France and some surrounding areas, Pull-In is growing. The close-ups in this article are from the online store and you can use the links to purchase from Pull-In. There are plans to offer an online store for US shoppers too and a concept store in Hong Kong.
On the left is the Passion string for € 30.00. On the right is the Venice swim top in brown with polka dots for € 32.00.
On the left is the James Bond inspired swim bottom for € 35.00. On the right is part of their leggings and activewear for € 39.00.
On the left is the Delicious bikini side knicker for € 39.00. On the right, some of the male-inspired knicker in pink and white for € 28.00.
I will be the first to admit that I do not know much about this brand and its stature with young girls. Reading about the Vans Girls’ team, 
it appears that most of the young women are in their early twenties, which means we do not travel in the same circles. Apparently, though, VANS is world famous for its super comfortable slip-on sneakers.
But they also just recently released a cute line of sleepwear and underpants and since that’s our core business here, I wanted to mention the launch. 😉
Although I am told that the concept in general is “punk-style”, I actually think this is a great looking group of shorts, tees, camis, capris, long pants and underpanties. The “Loungen” set made of cotton and spandex comes in black, checkerboard and dream skull. The dream skull is much cuter than the name implies with its white, black and green geometrical shaped design. The “Boxed Up” elastic waist shorts had me mesmerized with the black and white design. And all of the pieces are mix and match to create a funky look and to ensure the right sizing.
I can understand why young girls would gravitate to this brand.
It’s that time of year again! That time when we celebrate what we wear underneath. The garments that lift, separate, support, shape, conceal, and cover. Those pieces that keep all of us here at TLP busy writing! It’s National Underwear Day!
Sponsored by Freshpair.com, The 6th Annual National Underwear Day will be celebrated this Tuesday, August 5th. For the first time, National Underwear Day will be going indoors as a VIP event. In the past, National Underwear Day featured a runway show in the middle of Times Square. While this year will not include the show in Times Square, the legendary National Underwear Day giveaways will still take place around New York City with free “fresh pairs” being distributed to thousands on the New York City streets.
This doesn’t mean that you still can’t celebrate! Whether you are in New York or New Delhi, South Dakota or South America, you can do something to honor your undergarments. Here are some suggestions:
* Wear your favorite pair.
* Buy looks from the runway show at Freshpair.com for yourself.
* Buy looks from the runway show at Freshpair.com for someone else.
* Donate new underwear to a shelter.
I wouldn’t recommend performing your own runway show, unless, of course, it is behind closed doors. 😉
Feel free to share more ideas in our forums. Happy celebrating!
