In the left corner we’ve got La Perla’s feathered, g-string bodysuit from a few seasons back. Sold through their online boutique and Net-a-Porter.com, this bodysuit originally retailed for $470.
In the right corner, we have Frederick’s of Hollywood’s newer, more budget friendly version. Selling for less than a tenth of the price of the original, you can afford to pick up a couple at only $42 each.
What do you think, fellow addicts, is this feathered teddy a purchase…or pass?
Teddies, rompers, playsuits, bodies. Whatever you call them, the one piece has come back in a big way this year. I love how flirty, playful, and vintage this look is…the perfect mix of sexy and sweet. That’s why I’m super excited about this month’s giveaway.
Dear readers, you have the opportunity to win a gorgeous, luxurious, 100% silk chiffon romper from La Fee Verte courtesy of Bella Bella Boutique. The romper, which retails for $100, is available in sizes S, M, and L and features a ruffled neckline, front zipper, and sexy low cut back. Best of all, it’s sheer…and you know how I feel about sheer lingerie.
In the right corner, we have the ASOS Boudoir All Over Lace Bodysuit. Selling for a mere $31.03 at ASOS.com, this sheer floral lace bodysuit has a scooped neckline with a low back, and is composed of a 90/10 nylon/spandex blend.
So, dear readers, what do you think? Purchase…or pass?
From Jennifer Lopez’s August cover for Glamour to Rosie Huntington Whiteley’s September cover for Love (left), this Dolce & Gabbana leopard print dress is making all the fashionable rounds…and rightly so. Not only is leopard print forever chic, the cut and styling promises to make any body (or is that anybody?) look like a supermodel.
While I’m not sure how much Dolce & Gabbana’s latest masterpiece costs, I am sure it’s far outside of my budget. That’s why this leopard print slip from Body Wrap (right) has me so excited. I saw it just last week while attending Curve, and I think it’s fierce enough to wear with sheer pantyhose as a dress or with a pencil skirt and stockings for a dinner out. Plus, it’s only $98 at Bare Necessities
…practically a steal.
You may remember Ashley Graham from last week’s media circus surrounding the Lane Bryant lingerie commercial. Frankufotos Lingerie (a blog which I check almost everyday) did a great write-up on the whole event, and in among the text he posted a photo from one of Ashley’s most recent shoots taken from Madison Plus by Erick Basilo.
I’m sure it won’t surprise anyone to hear that I love this editorial. Not only does it reinforce Ashely’s undeniable sex appeal, it also proves that you can look great wearing inexpensive lingerie. Almost every piece in this set is taken from American Apparel, and Ms. Graham totally rocks all of them. Which shot is your favorite?
Souvenir String Body ($335) vs. TopShop Floral Lace Body ($30.66)
I can’t be the only person who fell in love at first sight with the lace and satin vintage-inspired bodysuits featured on the Dolce & Gabbana’s runway for the S/S 2010 show.
For a little while, I entertained the thought of buying one of my very own…but then I did a bit research and realized they cost a jaw-dropping (and utterly unaffordable) $1,195 each. So much for that fantasy, right?
Since then, I’ve been on the look-out for a knock-off version. A teddie that has the best elements of Dolce & Gabbana’s bodysuit–such as the bra-top, the wide waistband, the low-leg cut–but at a more realistic price.
Happy President’s Day everyone! Now that Valentine’s Day is over, we’re returning to our regular format and features. Today’s question comes from Kim, author of the All the Looks Insider blog at MyLifetime.com.
Q: Love your site! I saw these lace leggings on model Natalia – and fell in love. I think they are Gianfranco Ferre but not certain – can you determine who they are or find a very good copy with such sinewy fine detail?
A: Thanks so much for writing! Natalia Vodianova’s leggings aren’t leggings at all, but are actually a stirrup bodystocking she designed for European lingerie retailer, Etam.
To the left, we have the Rock & Republic Jony bodysuit, which originally retailed for $138 at Saks 5th Avenue (though it’s now on sale for $54.99).
To the right, we have the Grenier strapless bodysuit retailing for $36.00 at Brabarella. I can’t see much of a difference between the two. Can you?
