3 Lingerie Rules for New Year’s Eve

It’s a holiday, so I hadn’t planned on writing today, but this article literally came to me in the middle of the night and I felt I had to post it here while there was still time to catch some of you before festivities started.  Basically, even though tonight is full of crazy parties and raucous fun, there are still a few rules that need to be observed for your lingerie.

1) Comfort is more important than you think it is.  Whatever you wear next to your skin tonight should be one of the most comfortable things you own.  After all, you’ll be wearing it (and dancing in it and laughing in it and sweating in it) for hours.  Trust me on this.

Happy New Year!

The 2nd Annual Scanties: Best Lingerie of 2010

Welcome back for the second of two “Best of the Year” posts.  A couple of days ago, I listed the Top 20 Articles of 2010, and today is all about giving awards for the Best Lingerie of 2010.  I did a similar list last year, but you may notice some significant changes this year.

One, the awards have a new name! From here on out, I’m calling them “The Scanties.”  Pretty appropriate, don’t you think?  Two, in keeping with my New Year’s Resolution (more on that next week) to feature more independent and small brand designers, you’ll see some names you don’t recognize on this year’s list.  I hope that you’ll check out these new designers, and keep them in mind next year when making purchases.

Wishing you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons.  :)

When you’re done unwrapping gifts and eating pie, take a look at the lingerie sales tab to the side of the page.  You’ll find amazing deals from Agent Provocateur, ASOS, Figleaves, Fredericks, and Myla just to name a few.

If you gave or received lingerie for the holidays, I’d love to hear about it in the comments. 

Talk again soon!

Happy Holidays!

I know we’re still a few days away from Christmas, but I wanted to go ahead and wish you and yours a very Happy Holiday right now.  Starting today through Dec. 26th, I’ll be on vacation, so the blog, my Facebook, and Twitter will be much, much quieter than usual.

But that doesn’t mean things have to sit idle while I’m gone!  I’m working on the 2nd Annual “Scanties,” my awards for the best lingerie of the year and I’d love to have some Reader’s Choice selections in there.  Please feel free to use the comments section of this post to tell me about your favorite designers, brands, and stores of 2010And if you remember a blog post from this year that really struck your fancy, I’d love to know about that as well.

Designer Interviews: Michelle Jouvence of Lucy B Lingerie

Even though the 12 Days of Knickers are over and I’m about to take a blog vacation (more on that tomorrow!), I can’t let December go by without posting another designer interview…especially since I’ve been a fan of this month’s feature for even longer than I’ve been blogging.

Many of you have probably seen Lucy B lingerie without even knowing it. After all, one of her spokesmodels is Bernie Dexter, the world famous pin-up queen.  I’m a fan of Lucy B not only because I love vintage inspired lingerie but also because of how Michelle Jouvence, the designer behind the brand, brings back the fun and playfulness that retro lingerie is supposed to have.

Bella Bella Boutique Christmas Lingerie Giveaway Winner!

Oops!  In all the holiday hustle and bustle, I nearly forgot to announce this.  :)

For the first time ever, I’ve had to close a giveaway early because Lingerie Addict readers bought all of the item we were giving away (and because the sponsor and I wanted to make sure the winner got their gift).

As posted on Facebook, the competition ended at midnight on December 12, 2010 and I chose the winner later on that day.  I’ve already informed the winner and Bella Bella of the results, but in the interests of completely open and honest disclosure, I want to make sure you all know about it too.
