Giles Deacon: 'People should just get over themselves' - Telegraph

And for those who aren't familiar with Giles Deacon
and never saw my older post here is
a couple of things I love from
his previous collection.

Show your support - Celebrity bra auction.

Forty- Four Celebrities
including Dames Judi Dench, Kelly Brook,
Danni Minogue and Isla Fisher,
have all created a uniquely designed bra
to auction off to raise money.

The money will be going to the JCC for London
(The Jewish Community Centre) which
celebrates Jewish culture and
Cancerkin, A breast Cancer
charity that offers supportive care
services to anybody living with the disease.

All the Bras were kindly donated
by Triumph.

For more information or to bid on a bra visit the website.

Here are a few of my favourite bras in the auction.

Nobody does it better

...than Strumpet and Pink.
I have been in love with this brand ever
since I first laid
eyes on them a few years back.

These pieces are far too nice to wear,
but are absolutely gorgeous
and so feminine
how can you not resist.

My two particular favourites are the two below,
which can be purchased on
luxury Italian website
Black Satin.

Strumpet and Pink: Flower of Balay
Strumpet and Pink: A private Function

To view more of this gorgeous and feminine lingerie
visit the Strumpet and Pink

Sheer Sunshine.

I am excited because i have just discovered French brand
Les Jupons de Tess
and their diffusion line, LJT.

The collection is made up of sheer fabrics
which is bang on trend this season.
There is an irresistible softness with this diffusion line and with
a palette of bright summery whites and fresh mint greens,
and is a sure reminder that
Spring is on its way.

Knicker Mail

I am absolutely loving this cute little Knicker Mail gift idea
for Valentines Day from Kriss Soonik.

What I love about it is, it doesn't take itself too seriously, is far from usual
chocolates and flowers and definitely
makes buying lingerie for a partner much easier.
All in all it is a great little flirty and fun gift to receive through the post.


It seems that it is just a Valentines thing at the moment
but I think it would make a lovely
gift any time of the year.

The Knickers are made from Silk Satin and are
'designed to look lovely on bums of various sizes.'

Coming in three colour ways, and priced at only £29, you really
can't go wrong. And to top it all off you can choose
a handwritten message to send with your
Knicker Mail.



Colours available: Black, Red and Blue.

French Fancies

Ok so not the little pink, yellow and brown cakes,
this is a lingerie and Fashion blog after all and not quite French...
What I am referring to is the new
Mimi Holiday 16 story AW11 collection.

Yesterday I wrote about a decade of Damaris and how
they will be releasing eight new stories.
To celebrate this and working alongside the
tenth anniversary will be the new Mimi Holiday
collection with each story named
after a famous french cake.

So I haven't managed to find out what they will be called,
not that I don't like Mr Kipling's cakes,
but going by Mimi's other story names, I imagine they will sound as
utterly delicious as these preview pictures of the Lingerie.

Adding to the stories will be jewels, prints, darker colourways
and new shapes including a super plunge bra.
As well as this look at for the new low cut silky teddies.

For more information visit The Lingerie Buyer.
or the want to see the older collections

A Decade of Bottom Clevage

Damaris is celebrating it's Tenth birthday
by releasing Eight new stories.
These are to include new pieces for their AW 11 Collection.

Breaking away from the typical lingerie market
and creating their signature and cheeky
'bottom cleavage' brief,
Damaris will be celebrating by adding a V insertion on the
decolletage as well as
bodices and beautiful Swarovski encrusted
floor length gowns.

In a range of silk satins, silk tulles and
Chantilly and leavers lace,
this is one birthday collection worth treating yourself too.

For more information visit The Lingerie Buyer.
