Ask the Addict: Comfortable Lingerie for Everyday

February 28, 2011 By 6 Comments
Share on TumblrSubmit to StumbleUpon

Today’s Ask the Addict feature is inspired by a question from longtime reader Orilonise, who asked via Facebook, “I love lingerie, but usually keep it to my more professional or formal attire. How do you suggest women wear lingerie with casual clothes like jeans?”

What a great question! Though I often write about the sexy stuff here on the blog, the honest truth is I spend a lot of my time in casual lingerie. And when I’m buying lingerie for everyday, I want these 3 things:

  • comfort
  • easy to care for
  • seamless

Photo Friday: I’m in Love.

I don’t usually post personal things to the blog (mostly because I assume you come here for the lingerie and not for me), but some days I can’t help but write about the really important things that are happening in my life…even if they are especially intimate.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed from the title, I’m in love.

I’ve never been in love before. I thought I’d been, but I wasn’t really.  I’ve been in like.  I’ve been in lust.  But definitely not love.

Continuing my coverage of Curve Las Vegas, the semi-annual lingerie trade show, today I’m featuring an interview with the very lovely Chelsea Logan of Luxe Innovations/Boa Noite.

I’ve mentioned Chelsea’s luxurious, handmade lingerie bags several times before, and she’s on my list of “5 Things Every Lingerie Addict Needs That Aren’t Lingerie.“  In this video, she gives us a sneak peek of her upcoming collection. What’s your favorite lingerie bag?

(For images of the show, visit The Lingerie Addict Facebook page. For video, go to The Lingerie Addict YouTube Channel.)

A week ago today (on Valentine’s Day, ironically enough) I was in the Venetian Las Vegas viewing, touching, and otherwise enjoying a very special sneak preview of the lingerie that’s set to hit stores in Fall and Winter of this year.  A few of my readers may remember last summer’s recap of Curve New York where I highlighted the lacy, ruffly, ladylike trends you’re seeing in lingerie boutiques now.

I’ve spent the past several days in Las Vegas celebrating Valentine’s Day with The Boyfriend (who was kind enough to shoot this video) and attending CurvExpo, one of North America’s best and largest lingerie tradeshows.  Dirty Dolls, a retro-inspired brand out of New York, spared a few moments to talk with me about their latest collection. See if you can figure out why I love it so much.

Lingerie & The Movies: Anne Bancroft in The Graduate

Just a few hours ago, I finished my first-ever viewing of The Graduate, the classic 1967 flick starring Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman.  While I enjoyed the plot and story well enough, what really blew me away were the iconic lingerie scenes, including the famous one pictured up above of Mrs. Robinson slipping on her nylon stockings.

After recognizing the manufacturers of two of the most popular looks and realizing that they had very passable modern-day counterparts, I realized I couldn’t go to sleep tonight without making a quick little blog post.  I hope you get as much pleasure out of reading this piece, as I got from writing it…maybe I’ll turn Lingerie & The Movies into a semi-regular series. What do you think?

The Look for Less: Bordelle vs. Frederick’s of Hollywood

February 9, 2011 By 16 Comments

On the left side, we’ve got Bordelle’s webbed suspender belt from their one of their very first collections back in 2009. Originally retailing at £89 (approximately $142), this is one of the pieces that put the UK brand on the luxury lingerie map.

On the right side, we have Frederick’s of Hollywood’s Runway Burlesque Chemise, an unabashed remake which retails at a somewhat more budget-friendly $38 (and offers a matching bra & g-string if you want to complete the look).

What do you think, fellow addicts?  Is this strappy, bondage-inspired garter belt a purchase…or pass?
