  • Trend Watch: Sheer, Underwired Bandeau Bras

    by Estelle Puleston October 5, 2022

    Remember when I reviewed a Marina V bra back in March and said I’d try to do a round-up of similar pieces, because it was definitely becoming a small but noticeable lingerie trend? Yeah, I forgot. But lately I’m seeing this bra style pop up more and more, so I’ve finally put that list together!

  • How to Wear Lingerie as Outerwear for Different Occasions

    by Estelle Puleston February 23, 2022
    by Estelle Puleston February 23, 2022

    The more unique or ultra-pretty pieces I add to my lingerie collection, the more I find myself trying to ‘sneak’ some of them into my outerwear. A strappy bra peeking out from under a top there, a slip worn as a summer dress there – there’s usually a way to slip a little lingerie in if you want to.

  • 22 Lingerie Looks for People Who Love Bows

    by Estelle Puleston January 24, 2022
    by Estelle Puleston January 24, 2022

    Bows on lingerie seems to be a very polarising design feature. They’re everywhere, so it’s little wonder some people are bored of them, but it is worth knowing the reasons they’re so ubiquitous. And personally, I’m thrilled that bows are having a bit of an extra popular moment in lingerie right now!

  • 24 Animal Illustration Loungewear & Sleepwear Looks

    by Estelle Puleston June 9, 2021
    by Estelle Puleston June 9, 2021

    I’m not quite sure what to call this new(ish) loungewear trend – it’s not ‘animal print’ in the typical sense, so I’m going with ‘animal illustration’ instead. Emblazoned with repeating motifs – most frequently snakes, zebras or big cats – these pieces will add heaps of fun to your homewear wardrobe!

    Fluffy and fabulous, marabou is commonly associated with the sex kitten glamour of the 1950s as it was often seen on Hollywood stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Mae West. Since then it’s faded in and out of popularity – and right now, it’s definitely having a comeback moment.

  • 19 Silk Slips You Can Wear as Loungewear or Dresses

    by Eliza Lahey September 11, 2020
    by Eliza Lahey September 11, 2020

    This year I’m seeing a trend of silk slips that double as both loungewear and dresses you can wear out and about. So many slips this season are designed in gorgeous opaque colours and fun prints that they’re pratically begging to be shown off in public.

  • How to Wear 7 Lingerie Types as Outerwear

    The more I invest in adding beautiful and unusual pieces to my lingerie collection, the more I find myself trying to think up outfit ideas that will show them off to the world. After all, if you can wear something as both underwear and outerwear, that makes it doubly good value for money, right?

An unintentional new addition to my Lingerie Mix n An unintentional new addition to my Lingerie Mix n Match series - I've just gone through and hashtagged all of these #lingeriemixnmatch if you want to check out the others.

I adore this @emmaharrislingerie Melody bra, but sadly the matching knickers have gotten damaged. I am planning to repair them, but when I saw this @harlowandfox Eleanor thong in colour 'Hazel' in the brand's sample sale earlier this year, it looked like a reeeeeally good colour match to give me a second option to wear with the bra. It turns out the silk isn't *quite* as similar a colour as it looked online, but it's pretty close right? I might even add a little bow and pearl charm to the bra's gore to increase the resemblance (and also just because I love pearls).

There will be more mix-n-matches to come in 2023! I really haven't bought a lot of lingerie this year - my latest blog article explains why - so I'm feeling especially motivated to try out new combinations with what I already own. It's a great way to make a lingerie collection feel all exciting and 'new' again without doing any shopping 🛍️🚫

New blog post: Why I hardly bought any lingerie in New blog post: Why I hardly bought any lingerie in 2022. I'll pop the link in my stories 🔗

I only made 3 lingerie purchases throughout the whole of this year, including this Sulis slip skirt. (I also bought this Rosamosario camisole this year but I'm not counting it as lingerie - I wear it as a top). I started trying to live more sustainably in 2019 and admittedly it took me a lot longer to change my lingerie shopping habits than it did my approach to buying things such as food or makeup or even other types of clothing, because alongside fancy patisserie cakes, lingerie has always been my main indulgence. The thing I love and buy to treat myself.

But realistically, I have way more lingerie already than one person actually needs. I still love discovering new brands or designs, but I've stopped feeling like I need to *own* a particular piece to be able to appreciate it. So, anyway, just some thoughts I wanted to share as we wrap up the end of the year - there's more in the blog article.

I think a lot of us are trying to be more sustainable nowadays. Have you made any changes to how you shop for, or care for, your lingerie lately?

As someone who loves white and cream clothing, her As someone who loves white and cream clothing, here's something I couldn't live without: slips! A friend recently described hers as her 'granny slip', but we should totally reclaim this garment and make it popular again - it's SO useful. Do you wear them?

P.S. This slip skirt is by @sulis_silks in a custom champagne colour. A great brand to check for affordable, ethically-produced silk lingerie and nightwear!

One of the things I am trying to get better about One of the things I am trying to get better about is repairing my lingerie/clothing. I take really good care of my underwear in general - I hand wash everything, I let it air dry, and I store each set in its own protective bag - but I do have a terrible habit of throwing things on a 'to repair' pile when they break and then just forgetting that they exist. 

This Fréolic set is utterly gorgeous, and generally speaking it's one of the best-constructed sets I own, but the corded metallic lace appliquéd onto the thong was unravelling all over. Photo 2 was taken back in February and it had only gotten worse since, until I eventually stopped wearing it because I didn't want to damage it further.

Well, I finally fixed it. Unfortunately I couldn't find a gold thread in quite the same shade, and I'm definitely no expert embroiderer, but I don't hate the result. At least now I can get back to wearing this beautiful, beautiful lingerie set!

How often do you repair your clothing that breaks? Is it just the special pieces, or something you try to do for everything?

If you're in search of a really great, comfy bra t If you're in search of a really great, comfy bra that is relatively inexpensive and will work under lots of necklines, might I recommend the @lavinialingerie balconettes. The all-black Mia bra (swipe to see it 👉) is one of my everyday staples! Both bras are the same shape but different cup sizes; I got my best fit by going down a cup size from my usual, but I often have to do that in moulded bras so your experience may not be the same.

What are your favourite everyday bras? 

(P.S. These are both available in plus and full-bust sizes)

I saw this cute little book, Instant Expert Linger I saw this cute little book, Instant Expert Lingerie by Marilisa Racco, online and couldn't resist adding it to my cart. Just spent the afternoon reading it cover to cover. Unfortunately, it's not a great beginner's guide to buy now because it feels pretty dated - as well as some info/advice I don't agree with, it was written in 2011 and large swathes of the book are dedicated to recommending brands (and even some specific lingerie sets) of which a significant number are no longer around. Though if you like learning about now-defunct luxury lingerie brands from the 2000s/2010s, then it might be worth picking up for exactly that reason!

What are your favourite lingerie-themed books? I've read a few, but am now wondering how many others are out there that I've missed over the years...

I saw these obnoxiously pink trousers in the @port I saw these obnoxiously pink trousers in the @portmanbathboutique in Bath on my recent trip to England and simply HAD to have them. I'm not sure if they are intended to be lounge/sleepwear or outerwear - there was a matching lace-trimmed camisole which definitely gave the set a pyjama-y vibe, but it's possible they're just pyjama inspired.

I've been after a pair of high-waisted, loose-fitting silk trousers for ages but everything I'd liked was out of my budget. These aren't pure silk, but they are REALLY good value for money. When I saw the £55 price tag, I assumed they'd be polyester but nope - 20% silk, 80% viscose, and made in Italy too! 

The biggest downside is the sizing - they only came in "one size". Guessing that is a big part of why they were so cheap. My waist is currently 64cm and I had to reduce the waistband by 9cm to get them to fit, so they'd probably fit a UK 10-12 at most and smaller if you're willing to tailor them.

Although the brand has an online shop, these aren't on there right now. Definitely worth a look in store though if you happen to be in either Bath or Devon where they have another boutique. They came in lots of colours 🌈
