Sexy burlesque lingerie

October 6th, 2006

Make the most of the current hot fashion for 50s style items, and buy some glamourous burlesque lingerie!

With stars such as Dita Von Teese, Christina Aguilera and Immodesty Blaize donning pin-up look so well, it’s definitely the sexiest look to be wearing this Winter.

For subtle 50s style glamour, go for some sexy stockings and suspenders under your tweed skirt, with a cute high ponytail. Think sexy librarian!

For a fully-blown burlesque look, you need to go for the full works lingerie-wise; - gorgeous hair, big make up (paying particular attention to the eyes and lips, drawing on a beauty spot above your lip if you wish), and a perfectly scuplted waist, with the aid of a beautiful corset. 

For the burlesque look it’s not about revealing all at once, so choose french knickers or shorties rather than a g-string. The idea with burlesque is to leave some to the imagination, meaning that taking off your clothes is a slow and sexy process.

For your legs, either choose some black hold-ups with a soft satin band at the top, or some nice stockings with a pretty suspender belt.

Don’t forget the details: one singular piece of diamond (or diamante, let’s get real here!) jewellery can set off a lingerie set beautifully. There are many good burlesque-style hair accessories around at the moment - involving feathers and bows, for a sexy glamourous look.

If you are going for shoes in the bedroom, then it’s worth looking around the shops now. You will find a massive selection of shiny black heels, which will accompany off any 50s style sexy lingerie set perfectly, and make your legs look even more beautiful in those stockings.

Remember also that your fingernails and toenails must always be well manicured for a complete sexy look! Now all you need to do is pout, and you’re ready for your close-up!

Sexy lingerie and costumes for Halloween!

October 4th, 2006

Well, Haloween’s coming soon, which means it’s party time, and of course sexy costume time!

I’ve been having a look around at some lingerie sites, to see what I can wear to a Halloween fancy dress party, which will make me look more “drop dead gorgeous” and less “I’ve just dropped dead”. 

It’s typical at most fancy dress parties that the guys try to look as stupid as humanly possible, whilst the girls try to compete for the sexiest costume. This can be a mean feat sometimes for girls, but Halloween really is the perfect party for wearing sexy garments.

I managed to find a great range of sexy lingerie costumes, from floaty witch outfits complete with broomstick, to saucy low-cut wench costumes, to full-on slinky velvet vamp dresses which put Morticia Adams to shame. I’d advise girls on the pull to ditch out the whole zombie-look; green make-up the morning after isn’t the most becoming of shades.

However gruesome your choice of costume, if you’re wanting to bag that man at the party, then make sure you wear some devilishly good lingerie underneath. He sure as hell won’t be able to resist the sexy combination of your evil costume, and your gorgeous girly underwear…

Are you wearing the right bra size?

August 18th, 2006

When you go to buy new lingerie, do you get measured for bra size every time? The changes are, you don’t.

Maybe we should be, because statistics reveal that up to 85% of women are wearing the wrong bra size! Does your bra fit properly? If any of the following are happening, then probably not.

Do your breasts look weird underneath your shirt, like they’re sticking out over the top of your bra? That’s a key indicator that you’re wearing too small of a cup size, and that your breasts are spilling over the bra, meaning that you’re not fully supported.

If you lift your arm above your head and look at the wire of your bra, how far back is it going? If your cup isn’t actually covering all of your breast along the side of your body, this is another sign that you’re wearing too small a cup. Another key indicator here is if you have skin spilling over the sides of your bra.

Do your straps dig in to your shoulders? If so, you’re probably wearing too large of a back size, and your breasts are not getting enough support.

Does the cup of your bra stick out from your breast and bunch up in certain areas? This is a sign that you’re wearing too large of a cup size, and should size down a size.

Wearing properly sized lingerie means you will feel comfortable in yourself, and look your best. It’s amzing how a goof fitting bra can do wonders for your figure!

We all know how when you’re wearing something that doesn’t quite fit right, meakes you feel self-conscious and less sexy. So getting fitted for your bra regularly means that you’ll always be looking your best! remember also that sizes can vary from brand to brand - so even if you don’t want to get measured, always try to try the bra on before you buy it, as the last thing you want is the hassle of returning your sexy underwear.

Now, team your prefectly fitting bra with a sexy pair of knickers or a cute thong, and go and wow that man!!!

Caring for your lingerie

July 27th, 2006

We’ve all done it.

Bought some beautiful white lingerie which looked gorgeous on first wear, then we’ve absent-mindedly thrown it into the washing machine with a pair of grubby jeans, and it’s goodbye beautiful lingerie, hello dull greys.

This happened to me once with a pair of sexy white stockings and i vowed never to do my underwear that injustice ever again! It almost brings a tear to my eye now to think of my beautiful soft white stockings, spinning around in the boiling hot tumble dryer, getting bobbled and losing their white sparkle….how could I have been so cruel?!

Proper care is the best way to ensure a long and lasting life for your lingerie purchases. By following these steps, your underwear wardrobe will remain fresh and in top notch form.

Check the labels!
Manufacturers don’t lie. While the label guidelines are often brief, they are always correct.

I recommend that intimates be washed in a lingerie wash bag, which are often made of light synthetic mesh.  By using a lingerie wash bag, you ensure that your intimates avoid the rough and tumble wash cycles and do not get twisted and stretched.

Should you remove your the label, the following are some general care instructions:

Do:

Wash: Wash in cold water by hand, making sure to rinse thoroughly. If you prefer to wash in the machine, wash in cold water with like colors or separately using a lingerie wash bag. Always wash colors separately, including similar lingerie products. Remember to hook, fasten or buckle products before you wash.

Dry: Drip dry or dry flat washed lingerie items, away from sunlight. If you must dry in the machine, tumble dry on a low and cool setting with items still in the lingerie wash bag. Use a light and gentle soap for washing your lingerie.

Don’t:

Wash: Avoid washing your lingerie loosely with other products. Because of their delicate structure, many lingerie items can get twisted and stretched. Avoid soaking or bleaching intimates in order to retain color and structure. Also avoid detergents you normally use with your other laundry.

Dry: Do not tumble dry loosely with other products. Once again, your items may twist and stretch. Also, avoid line drying, as creases and stretching may occur. Keep your intimates out of the sun!

Do not iron your lingerie. If absolutely necessary, use gentle steaming to remove wrinkles.

Finally, always use a beautifully fragranced fabric conditioner to ensure that your lingerie comes up soft and sweet smelling every time.

So there you have it - no more excuses for tatty grey lingerie - now my pretties, go forth and be sexy!!

Suspender Tights?!

July 17th, 2006

After my rant last week about the evil of tights, I chanced upon a rather unusual product whilst out shopping: suspender tights. ”Interesting,” I thought, here were some tights which ended at the top of the thigh with panels cut out from the top and the gusset to make it look like stockings & suspenders. Although dubious (as they were still tights after all..), at only 99p it seemed silly not to at least try a pair before I damned them to hell for all eternity. A pound was exchanged, with 1p change and a pair of suspender tights taken away.

I got home and tried them on. First of all, it took four attempts to get the damn things on properly. I’d get one leg on, only to find that the supender belt part was now hanging around my knee, and vice versa. This was an operation which even a Mensa member would be hard-pushed to complete in under five minutes. If they were going to be this tricky to get on, imagine the embarassing scenes as I seduced my boyfriend then struggled for half an hour to remove the nylon nightmares. (Although, strictly, that wouldn’t be necessary, as they were crotchless. However I am a lady of class (!) and of course tried them on with knickers underneath.)

Once they were on, (incidentally at this point I had already managed to ladder them) I summoned up the courage to briefly look in the mirror. Disgusting. 

What looked back at me from the mirror was a disaster area - me wearing a pair of flesh-tone tights, with the crotch and the sides of the thighs cut out. I looked like the chaps from Clockwork Orange had been at me with the scissors. Finally I dared to turn around and look at the reverse view. This was even worse. Essentially a pair of tights with the entire bum removed - absolutely ridiculous.

I’m not sure what version of “sexiness” the author had in mind when writing in the product description that they “combined the comfort of tights with the sexiness of suspenders”. Sorry, but cutting holes in tights around your lady bits does not make them sexy, not one little bit. Nor do these items offer comfort. No, they have literally no merit as a product.

What *had* I Been thinking of? I should have realised that these tights were being sold in “99p Stores” for a reason!!

This goes to further prove my point that tights are just wrong!!! suspender tights.jpg

Ban Tights!!

July 11th, 2006

Ladies.

There is something bad happening all over the world - something terribly wrong. Something which is inexcusable and which we could change if we wanted. I am asking you, my sisters, to help change things.

Am I referring to global warming? No. Corrupt political leaders lacking morals? Nuh-uh. No, girls, the problem which I am referring to here is much, much more hideouos then either of those. A fate worse than death. Uglier than Pat Butcher.

The problem is….. TIGHTS.

Why, oh why, do ladies continue to torture themselves and make themselves look unsexy by wearing these wretched unflattering garments, when they could wear sexy stockings or hold ups?

Now before you start talking cost, that’s not the issue here - one good quality pair of hold ups will cost you around £8 and will last a lot longer than your average pair of tights. Just think how often you’re laddering your sheer tights and have to either throw them out or hastily fix them at the last minute with some clear nail varnish.

Comfort can’t be argued either - wearing hold ups or stockings means you eliminate the unattractive nylon waistband which can often be seen digging into women’s hips, and comes up far too high for lots of clothing like low-slung hipster skirts. Plus it’s one less layer around your middle, keeping you cooler.

We’re definitely not talking image here - ask any man whether he prefers stockings & suspenders / hold ups, or plain tights, and you can guess what the answer will be the majority of the time.  And try looking sexy putting tights on (picture the classic “lunging into tights to pull the crotch up” manouvre, and you’ll know what I’m talking about) or taking them off, and you’re on to a losing streak. Sorry!

I’m yet to meet a sane man who really finds tights sexy, so come on girls - its time to see sense, get sexy, and start wearing more stockings!

If not for yourselves, let’s do it for our men - like a war effort!

Sexy Nightwear

July 3rd, 2006

All this summer heat is making me rather sleepy. Luckily I recently bought a lovely silk nightie which keeps me nice and cool even when my bedroom is hot, hot hot (and I’m not talking about my boyfriend!)

I’ve never really been one for wearing pyjamas to bed, but if I did, then they would definitely have to be something luxurious, like satin pyjamas, with cute bows on them and lace! The trouble is, I think I’d get too hot with that many clothes on in bed.

I was shopping online today and I saw a beautiful silk chemise made by Lise Charmel. It looks perfect for the summer and would defiitely be a good addition to my sexy underwear collection…..I may have to purchase it!

 One thing I’m certain on - there’s no way you would catch me wearing bedsocks or slippers! I don’t know who invented those, but they shouldn’t have been allowed to. Quite possibly the least sexy thing anybody could ever wear in bed!!!!  Nope, give me sexy lingerie any day!

 

The aftermath of the lingerie party…

June 28th, 2006

Well, last night was the night of our lingerie party! Much eating, drinking and being very merry went on, and I think everyone is feeling a little bit worse for wear today! A fun time was had by all though, so it was worth it. :-)

I found some great bits of sexy underwear though, which I’m really pleased with. It was so nice being able to try on all the lingerie without having to go round the shops and look in their unflattering mirrors, whilst pestered by shop assistants!

We ended up all buying *far* too much and drinking *far* too much which led to some rather “interesting” conversations to say the least!! One rather devisive discussion was about everyone’s preferred choice of under garment - thong or knickers….. or none!! My friend was sure that thongs were the best thing to happen to underwear since the proverbial sliced bread, but I disagree. Personally I think a nice pair of butt-hugging lacy french knickers are a hell of a lot sexier, plus you don’t have to keep constantly “adjusting yourself” to put it nicely.

We argued this out for some time and nobody was willing to back down…. I’m pretty sure this argument will go on between women all over the world for all of eternity!

Still, I left a happy girl as I managed to find the sexy nightie which I was looking for, and it’s absolutely gorgeous! It’s silk with a cute all-over floral print, and lace edging at the bust and hems. A perfect mix of innocence and naughtiness which is always a winner in the sexy underwear stakes as far as my boyfriend is concerned. :-D

Well I’m off now to nurse my sore bank balance and lounge around in my gorgeous brand spanking new lingerie…hehehe! x x

My first lingerie post

June 22nd, 2006

How exciting, my first post on my new lingerie blog!

Well, the Summer’s here and I’m in a great mood! :-D I’m hoping I can manage to get away on holiday somewhere this year.
I’m also so glad it’s Summer because my friends are all back from uni next week, and we’re going to have a lingerie party!  We get to have drinks, chocolates and try on lots of hot lingerie – I can’t wait.  It will be a great chance for us all to catch up, have a giggle and some wine – of course whilst watching a cheesy chick flick!

This week I’ve been thinking about what new sexy underwear I fancy trying at the party, and I think I’m going to be looking for some nice sexy nightwear. It’s my boyfriend’s birthday soon so I get to buy clothes and give him a sexy surprise at the same time – perfect!
I’m thinking a pair of french knickers and a silk nightdress will do very nicely..I’m sure he won’t complain about that.. ;-)
Apparently there will be some Aubade lingerie for us to try on as well which I’m really excited about - I recently saw some of their thongs which were so cute!
Anyway that’s me done for today and my first post complete – I’m off now to pick an outfit for the party – I have to look my best - Byeee! x x x
