Wow pattern and a face-framing silhouette make this Trina Turk tankini stand apart from the rest.
I bought these last year and wore them throughout the fall and winter months. I really love them. They look tough and chic at the same time. I wore them with a denim tunic and Converse sneakers as well as with oversized sweaters and booties, and they worked well both ways. They are extremely versatile and can be worn in myriad ways. While they won’t pass for real leather, faux leather is now considered mainstream and Hue always has excellent quality items that are fairly priced and these leggings are no exception. I wear a size 8 and the medium fit me perfectly. They have a generous rise and are not low cut like other brands. They are very comfortable to wear on cool or cold days but can be a bit warm otherwise. The material is thick enough so that it thankfully doesn’t show every bump or bulge. They can be hand washed and hung to dry or even placed in the dryer for 10 minutes on the lowest setting (which gets out the wrinkles). All in all, I’m pleased with my purchase and will look forward to wearing them again this year. When I was shopping for faux leather leggings, Hue had the best quality of all and although they were a little pricier ($50), they were definitely worth it because they looked the most like real leather. I definitely recommend these Hue leggings.

After reading fashion and lingerie guides/blogs for so so many years, I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the items that “every woman needs in her wardrobe’. But honestly, when it comes to shopping for lingerie basics, it’s always been a bit of a slog. There such a different between ‘basic’ or ‘classic’ items. Sometimes you just finding yourself running around in circles trying to work out what the ‘best’ soft cup bra, comfy undies or tights are exactly?
Gilt are an awesome website I’ve mentioned before and absolutely adore. They sell off all of the samples and other sale pieces at ridiculous mark offs. Stock changes all the time but the reductions are always high so it’s worth a look.
As there are still some pieces which I noticed were definite deals to be had from some of my personal favourites, we’ve popped together our lacy picks for under $40! I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to purchasing quality pieces from top brands without the crazy price tag, if you’d like to learn more stay tuned over the next few weeks.
Miss Crofton is, for those who have been following along for a while now, a brand I’ve loved from it’s dawn. Well not quite that far back, but it was a case of coupe de foudre! Lingerie, like the first move in a romance should be flirtatious, charming, expressive, and avoid cliché – and the handmade pieces of Miss Crofton are impeccably right. Run by Georgia Campbell, Miss Crofton’s designs are not only of high quality, completely handmade and so darn gorgeous but also affordable. The piece we’re crushing on today is this lacy piece. This dainty bra comes in a soft cream colour that will look elegant against any skin tone. Feminine and fanciful, this will be an ever so pretty addition to your lingerie drawer.
What’s the best part about this time of year? Halloween. But also Elle McPherson and Stella having their massive end of season sales. Their sales are usually held around September after the other sales have just wound up (so make sure to set a little aside, because they’re always worth it. I’m talking reductions down to $15). Although now it is much past September (and so close to halloween!), there are still a number of items by Elle and Stella you can pick up for very very cheap! As well as my Elle and Stella affair, I’m also a big lover of lace and hater of the feeling of picking up a gorgeous lacy piece and realizing that it’s the same price as your rent… isn’t it actually the most disappointing thing? My general shopping philosophy is that I try to purchase meaningful pieces that are the best quality that I can afford (meaning not spending this months rent on a set and having to eat lentils for a month). I also try my best to buy from companies which I support as well as giving back to smaller brands (they need your help to guys!). Elle McPherson and Stella McCartney are two of my absolute favourites who I support throughout because of their high quality pieces, design and they truly last the test of time.

Andrée Ciccarelli has my whole-hearted vote! Not only is the lingerie itself ridiculously comfortable, but Andrée is the sweetest and most savvy business owner who has brought her line to the highest level of quality. I had the pleasure of working with her in the NYC Lingerie Fashion week runway show this past October and saw the brand in action! I believe in her and the pieces made me feel beautiful without being overdone. Simple and classic is the way to go and she has married the two. 2. How long have you been collecting? I recently started incorporating lingerie into my outfit choices! I had always thought of it being specifically for underneath, but honestly it’s just as fun out in the open, those pretty little scalloped edges peeking out. So I really only started collecting just within this past year but my collection has been
We’ve done many pieces on this in the past and have a few guides out there regarding buying luxury lingerie. I thought for once I’d share a few of my favourites for SS15 before it turns into AW15. While we are heading into next season, the great thing is that if, like me, you’re not quite ready to splurge on the below, these pieces will most likely be on sale in the very near future. So you can always add them to the lust list for later. (Also, if you’re in Europe and still looking for these pieces and really don’t want to pay for the huge postage, check out Oleanda. It’s my go to for Europe) Here it goes!
The Lingerie Guide How The High-Cut Stole Our Hearts December 15, 2015 There was a forgettable period of recent style that dropped waistlines to perilously low depths. Thongs and teeny strips of fabric were developed to make sure that while a butt crack may show, panty lines stayed hidden. If you were anything like me, even the vintage appeal of a high-waist was lost on those of a certain age, and any underwear that crept over the hips was deemed a “granny panty.” For whatever reason, the muffin top effect that these low briefs contributed to was more appealing than a higher cut. Thank god we all came to our senses. Now, I’m not saying that skimpy underthings certainly don’t have their place, but a high-cut bottom can be the most comfortable option for all different body types. I find that in a tighter dress that I don’t want to wear a slimming garment under, a higher cut brief tends to hold in those love handles a bit more, kind of creating a reverse muffin top effect. There is basically no body type that won’t be enhanced by a waist-defining and hip-minimizing cut. Going even further, some lines of slimming garments like Spanx and D’Mondaine have created their own high-waist panties, which is a great way to streamline curves under a pair of pants or in a tight garment. Not to mention, these days vintage styles are all the rage, and there is nothing that better suits a high-waist pant then a high-cut brief. Many brands established and new are coming up with creative ways to raise underwear waistlines, making sure there is a piece available within everyone’s budget and style. While typical granny panties were boring giant pieces of cloth, the modern high-cut brief comes in a range of styles that are perfect for any situation.
The Lingerie Guide The Last Minute Run Around | Wedding Night Lingerie December 22, 2015 Every bride has her perfect dress in mind, but with all of the other minute details that go into planning a wedding, sometimes wedding night lingerie gets forgotten. I got to experience this last year, when my friend called me in New York from her wedding venue in California absolutely freaking out because she forgot to buy lingerie. Now, I love pretty things and especially love buying them, but lingerie can be incredibly personal, especially when all I can think about is my best friends, well, using it. But of course I agreed, and then started to freak out. Luckily, the whole experience gave me some great insight on what to consider when buying wedding night goodies. BHLDN STARLET ROBE – $280 First of all, I had to think about my friend, and what her style is. Knowing that she liked simple styles but interesting cuts (and worked in fashion) helped me focus away from the complicated wedding night ensembles that are available. Instead, I opted for a simple sheer white chemise to give her something special, and focused on white bra and panty sets to spice up the look. Of course, that was the hard part! I know what I like in a bra, and luckily we are around the same size, so I tried on about 10 different options in a range of styles, including a few I wasn’t sure about. Of course, once I put them on, the ones I was least sure about ended up looking gorgeous, and it was easy to know which was the right one for my friend.
The recent expansion of the full-bust lingerie market has been a boon to women with larger busts, but well-fitting luxury pieces are still rare, particularly in sizes above a G cup. So imagine my delight when I stumbled across KH Intimates, whose Spring/Summer 2016 debut collection offers gorgeous, ethically manufactured lingerie crafted in sumptuous fabrics and laces, available in UK bra sizes 26-36 D-HH.
Sweet, stretchy lace halter bra by Out From Under with a comfy strap that goes behind the neck. Adjustable hook & eye closure at the back. Lined.
Lusome Sleepwear is now available at our lingerie boutique in Whitby. The new Canadian brand promises to deliver a healthy, cool and premium sleep experience with the world’s most advanced moisture management technology – drylon. 80% of all women at some point deal with night sweats/hot flashes whether due to post-partum effects, cancer therapy, thyroid issues or menopause. This is the first brand to combine sophisticated and elegant designs with proven technology. Tested against other moisture management sleepwear brands, Lusome with drylon moves moisture on average 5 times faster than the other top brands.
Everyone talks about the astounding statistic that nearly 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra or an ill fitting bra. At J’adore we see women everyday with complaints of bands that are too tight, too loose or riding up, straps that are falling off the shoulder, cups that are too big or too small, sagging or overflowing. The list goes on and on.
I really like the idea of this dress. I have curves 34DD/36D-29waist-38hip i ordered a large & it fits good but if somone is a bigger than me it it wouldnt fit them. It is a tad snug in the bust area but not uncomfortable i can still move around & move my arms. I will warn you the dress is short so i plan to wear some yoga shorts underneath of it so that i dont give anyone a free preview of my vickies secrets :) Of course you guys know that the top is sheer/lace so i plan to wear a very full coverage black bra (grandma bra) so that i dont have any nip-slips . I would recommend that you do the same depending on which color dress you ordered. I absoloutely love this dress i bought it for my boyfriends bday celebration to wear to a concert lets hope its as functional on as it is cute& sexy :) either way i love it & i would definitely recommend this dress :) The only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is because i havent tested out the functionality of it yet (u know like moving around /dancing /sitting)
Belles Lingerie - the lace, the silk, the color, so beautiful!
Ordered an extra small and fits as expected. Just the right length in front and back. Wore it to a group meeting for work and was asked by a woman I had never met before where I got it and what brand it was. I couldn’t remember who made it so I had her look at the tag. http://goo.gl/IB3DDh
Swing skirt
Leather leggings and open back sweater. So cute.
My teen loves this sleep shirt- and I love winning as her “personal shopper.” The fabric is super soft and silky and the style- with shirred shoulders and a V neck is a prettier than a basic sleep T. I am buying her another one. http://goo.gl/226nSE
I own several babydoll pieces of lingerie and many are from the brand Jezebel. Most lingerie I buy from Jezebel is not a let down and this piece is no exception. I own it in both black and red in a size small. I’m 5'4 with a small frame and 32D bust. This babydoll fits me perfectly, covers my bum and hits at the top of my thighs. The bra portion is comfortable enough to sleep in and does not dig into you while still giving you a nice lift (though it does not have any push up padding or anything). The back of the babydoll is fly away and very attractive. The panties do run a bit small but I do have a fuller bottom. The details of the babydoll; the pattern/texture are much prettier in person. The midsection is mostly sheer (which is always a plus with my husband ). In my opinion this is a nice addition to your lingerie collection; it’s sweetly sexy. Hope this helps. http://goo.gl/CvDu8N
You can’t go wrong with an Anne Klein. This blazer is a perfect fit; I ordered the size 12. The added quilt on the inside adds warmth. http://goo.gl/Np8ViI
This dress caught my eye so I decided to take a chance and buy it. I wasn’t sure what size to buy because you never know with online shopping so I just bought the same size as the model and it fits perfectly! I’m impressed with the quality of the dress and it looks great. This dress is very versatile so you can definitely get a lot of use out of it. I wish it came in other colors. I will say there is hardly any stretch so this dress can be unforgiving in that regard. I wouldn’t suggest trying to go smaller because I think the dress runs a smidge on the small side. http://goo.gl/hHnEaf
I really love the floral pattern on this blouse. However, the top is a bit short. I’m 5 ft 6 in and I ordered the extra small. The top fits fine, but is very short on the sides, so much so that about 1-2 inches of skin shows between the bottom of the shirt and top of my pants, even when not wearing low-riding pants. I think I’ll keep it, but I wish the shirt was a couple inches longer. I’ve never had a problem before with shirts being too short on me. http://goo.gl/SEDPid
Love this top for business or evenings. Comfy, light and soft fabric but looks thick and structured - best of both worlds. Highlights the waist well http://goo.gl/71i3HQ
I bought this in a size large (I normally wear a small) because it was a junior top. It fits me perfect and is just the right amount of flowiness to it. I am 5'7’’ and 130 pounds. http://goo.gl/FPAXFZ
I love this versatile top!! Feels wonderful, lays great! I am a busty (38dd), 59 year old, 5'2" 165lbs. I recently put on some weight after a hip replacement, bought this in an xl and wear it as a tunic. I did finally get to a store to try on a L, which would have fit even at my current weight if I wasn’t so busty. http://goo.gl/lrMKlz
happy with your service and the top http://goo.gl/ir1TZL
This is a great summer skirt. It’s lightweight, as photographed, soft, and has a great pattern with nice colors. I’m 5'6" and typically a 10 on the bottom. The large fits nicely, maybe a tiny bit too big, but a medium would be too small, I’m sure. It’s the right length when it sits on my natural waist, and I intend to wear it with a casual heel anyway. http://goo.gl/SFdp2Z
This is such a beautiful set, I’m usually a medium and I ordered it in a medium, and it fit like a glove. So perfect. I love adjustable straps, so it can be adjusted to your liking. Comes with a matching g-string which completed the set perfectly. I love this sheer this one is, it gives you just that right amount of “sexy”. It made me feel great and confident. This set really runs true to size, I would recommend going with your shirt size. This would make a great gift for someone, or even for yourself. I was happy to receive this item at a discount for my honest review.
Received item in five days in a sealed package. Nice quality shaper, good materials. http://goo.gl/jIEaVy
This chemise is adorable, incredibly soft and comfortable! I am a person that really needs racerback for lingerie, otherwise the straps just fall right off my shoulders. So when I saw this online, I thought I’d give it a try. I couldn’t be happier, It stays on and the straps are secure. I’m right on the cusp of size 6 and 8 for pants so I went with a medium with this and it fits great. It is a bit pricier than others out there but so far it seems to be made really well and I’m not sure I’ve ever slept in anything more comfortable than this. http://goo.gl/phnRJ7
The fabric is so delightfully soft. Feels so good on. Very pretty. As far as fit, I put that it fits as expected. Normally I would wear a Medium and I bought both M and L. I prefer sleepware on the large side, so I kept the large. I wear about a size 10 and could have kept the M, but the L was more loose and comfortable, so I returned the M. http://goo.gl/pHnQqZ
It turned out to be too nice to wear as a sleepshirt, so I use it as a nice tee for Florida winter (a little to heavyweight for summer in the swamp). http://goo.gl/N2G3yo
These pajamas are so comfortable!! And I love the length of them. I’m 5'8 and they fit perfectly. http://goo.gl/Bwm5da
I ordered this in both colors when Amazon had its Lightening Deal. LOVE LOVE LOVE these!! so soft, made well and fits just right. they are comfortable during pregnancy and I can tell that I will still be able to wear them afterwards. These will be perfect for nursing as well. Planning to take them to the hospital for after the baby is born. I got such a great deal with the Lightening Deal, but I would not hesitate to pay full price for these as well; absolutely worth it. I have had them for several months now and there is no sign of wear. http://goo.gl/cCLyRb
I love this body hugging style with the beautiful lace around the bodice. Great fabric. Washes great and back to its original fit. It doesn’t get any better than this perfect nightie.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this product was everything I expected. The quality, fit and comfort is all that you could want. I wish it came in more colors.
TheMorgan Women’s Sheer Mesh Long Sleeve Bolero is exactly what I was looking for. It shipped to me very, very quickly which I appreciated. Make sure and read the measurements on the last page of pictures. I usually wear a size large (size 14) in normal tops or jackets. After reading the measurements…. I ended up ordering a size 2X. I was nervous it would be too big, but It fits perfectly! I am very tall and the sleeves are plenty long. It is well made. Thank you for an inexpensive product that looks so expensive….no one will ever know. http://goo.gl/xBOQXW
Ultra-soft microfiber triangle shaped soft cups with graphic motif and eyelash lace edges at neckline and on torso. Unlined. Adjustable shoulder straps.
Long Sleeve T-Shirt Tops + High Waist Pencil Skirt. This outfit arrives looking exactly as pictured, it is gorgeous!! I love everything about it. It is a 3 piece set, the skirt, shirt and belt are all separate pieces. The belt that ties around the waist is very long, so you can tie a large floppy bow, or wrap it around twice and have a tighter , more proper bow. The length of the belt tie is 95", so you can really get creative with it. The shirt and skirt are both very form fitting, and the skirt is even designed with the natural curves of the body, so it comes in at the waist, and out at the hips. If worn as pictured, the skirt can be worn as a mini skirt, with the belt tie wrapped at the waistline, and the outfit even almost resembles a dress. However, if you are more of the conservative type, the skirt can be pulled down as well, and worn just above the hips for a much longer look.
