Welcome back for our second of our two annual “Best of 2011″ articles. A few days ago, we listed the Top 20 Lingerie Addict Blog Posts of 2011, and now it’s time to talk our Top 20 Lingerie Brands of 2011. I’m especially excited about this year’s awards because they include both nominations and commentary from Lingerie Addict readers and columnists. Want to see which of last year’s winners made it onto this year’s list? Take a look at our best lingerie of 2010!
In a year full of mindblowing firsts, from my first major media mention to my first leap into self-employment, it makes sense to finish 2011 with just one more:
The Lingerie Addict was just selected by ProBlogger.net, the world’s #1 blog about blogging, as one of the Top 20 Bloggers to Watch in 2012.
I really can’t describe to you what an amazing honor that is. There are literally millions of blogs online, and many of them are run by awesome people who are doing some super-impressive things. Yet somehow, the editors of ProBlogger.net managed to notice what we’re doing in our little corner of the internet over here.
For all my Boxing Day/ after Christmas bargain hunters, the semi-annual Agent Provocateur Lingerie sale is now online.
Not sure what to choose from? I’ve put a few of my favorite looks below.
Better hurry though…the pieces you love always sell out first!

Ah, the Holiday season. Time for singing carols, mulling wine, and donning gay apparel.
Some classic things we associate with Christmas festivity: mistletoe, lights, and most interesting to me, the color red. As a designer of lingerie, I often steer clear of red because of it can come off as one too many sexy attributes in a garment. For example, if it’s short AND lacy, I would probably keep it a less over-the-top sexy color. (I don’t want to be causing any heart attacks out there! Or for my customers to be mistaken for hookers.) I prefer to use colors that aren’t automatically associated with sin, like plum and dusty pink, so that the wearer can feel pretty AND sexy.
As you can probably imagine, I get a lot of lingerie questions in my inbox everyday. But one of the questions I’m asked most often by far is “Where can I, as a curvy/full bust/plus size woman find gorgeous lingerie–that won’t break the bank–in my size?”
Well, Bare Necessities, the world’s premier online lingerie boutique (and InStyle Magazine’s favorite place to shop for lingerie online), has heard you and put their all curvy girl selections in one easy to navigate section on their website.

Now that 2011 is nearing an end, many of us begin to reflect upon the past years’ more notable events and vow to improve our actions and ourselves for the New Year. 2012 will be no different for myself or for millions of other hopefuls. However being immersed in the lingerie industry and also recently embarking on a journey of personal self growth and reflection, I have realized that I am embarrassingly guilty of breaking a number of lingerie crimes in 2011. Therefore this upcoming year I am taking a pledge to better my personal lingerie situation 1 step at a time in order to improve my standing for a 2012! Here are my top 8 lingerie resolutions for the New Year:
