It’s the end of September, and that means it’s time for another designer interview! Designer interviews are my way of highlighting small, independent brands that I believe deserve more buzz. This month’s feature is of the UK lingerie label, Sugarlesque, created by the very, very talented Ruka Johnson.
Love the look of Agent Provocateur’s classic black corset but don’t have a spare $400? Then try the budget ASOS Boudoir version.
For around $60, you can get the exact same lingerie look and still have enough money left over for a room in a five star hotel.
What do you think of this look for less? Purchase? Or pass?
Today’s guest post comes from Krista, a regular author over at The Lingerie Post. The Lingerie Post is one of the best sources anywhere for finding out the latest lingerie, underwear, and swimwear news. They also have a great lingerie sales page that I check at least once a week.
If you enjoy this feature by Krista, why not read her other Lingerie Post articles here? And don’t forget to tell us what you do with the lingerie an ex gave you in the comments!
Dita, Dita, Dita…what can I say about her that hasn’t been said already? From being a muse to couture fashion houses like Jean Paul Gaultier to designing luxury lingerie collections for the likes of Wonderbra and Frederick’s of Hollywood to selling out burlesque and striptease shows worldwide, Dita is more than a woman…she’s an icon.
On the personal side, I love what Dita von Teese has to say about lingerie. Like her, I believe that “Lingerie is not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.” And I also “…love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own underneath.” With that in mind, why don’t we take a look at a few key pieces that can give anyone a Dita-worthy wardrobe.
A ginormous “Thank you!” to Independent Fashion Bloggers for featuring me again in this weeks Links a la Mode. Scroll to the bottom to see the article they picked, and don’t forget to check out the other great reads from these fabulous fashionistats too!
I know it’s late notice, peeps, but if you’re one of my daily readers then you’re in for a special treat. Both Frederick’s of Hollywood and Figleaves.com
are taking 20% off everything in their store for a limited time only. The Frederick’s promotion ends tonight, while the Figleaves promotion ends Wednesday.
To take advantage of the Frederick’s offer, simply add $95 or more to your shopping cart (plus you’ll get free shipping!). For Figleaves, you need to enter the coupon save20, but there’s no minimum purchase. Take a look at a few of my favorite pieces–
It’s almost Autumn again, and you know what that means…great deals on tights and stockings from everyone’s favorite hosiery brand, Wolford. Last year, Rue La La offered a lot of Wolford sales and I managed to snap up something great at every one so I’m glad they’re repeating the tradition this year. Here’s a peek at what you can expect to see this morning–
Why don’t tell you me what you bought in the comments? One of my purchases from the Rue La La sale was the leggings in the center of the top row. I can’t wait to wear them this winter!
A couple of days ago, I announced via Twitter that Figleaves (one of the best online lingerie stores) had just launched a new iPhone shopping app for those who like to buy their lingerie on the go. Of course, I downloaded it right away, but almost immediately I noticed a major flaw…which I hinted at in a later Twitter update. But first, let’s talk about the good things this new Figleaves app offers.
The Figleaves iPhone app carries over many of the features and benefits from the actual Figleaves store. You can shop by the kind item you’re looking for (bra, brief, robe, etc.), by the color, and by the brand name. You can also narrow your selection by price (though I don’t think this feature is very well developed yet as your only options are “everything” and “less expensive things.”)
Lingerie is a fact of life. But it isn’t a fact that shopping for it has to be a chore. Here are 10 lingerie essentials every woman needs in her knickers drawer. These are the basics that will give you a good foundation for every piece in your closet, whether it’s the heat of summer, the dead of winter, a fancy evening out, or a relaxed afternoon in. They’re trendproof, flexible, and absolute timesavers. So if you’ve ever felt like you just didn’t have the right thing to wear under your clothes, then this is the article for you!
