Shopping

I shared this piece on social media yesterday, and then decided I simply had to feature it on the blog too. The Soni corset is part of Agent Provocateur’s new AW18 collection, and is the first design of theirs since last year’s Haylie bra that has really caught my eye.

Yay, it’s finally summer! Now that the weather is hotting up, my blog post on 35 stylish, modest swimwear options from 2016 is getting a bunch of hits again. However whilst some of those pieces are still available to buy, many are not. So I thought an updated 2018 version of the list was in order.

I’ve always had a thing for sumptuous, ruffly knickers (they are excellent for creating the illusion of bigger curves) but these ones are especially gorgeous. The rows of leaf-shaped cut-outs make them feel like something out of a fairytale – lingerie for a pixie or a wood elf.

Chances are you’ve heard that singer and fashion icon Rihanna is launching a lingerie lingerie, and now it’s here! Savage X Fenty went live today, currently only available through that website and a Brooklyn-based pop-up ending tomorrow…

I’ve been going through a comfy lingerie phase recently, forgoing some of my fancier lacy pieces for ones that are sturdy and breathable. I’ve come across some lovely sets that prove to be gorgeous, comfortable, and perfectly patterned for spring.

I’ve been researching swimsuits and bikinis with the intention of buying a couple for the summer ahead, and thought I’d share my favourites with you here.

I’m going through something of a sheer mesh phase right now. I’m late to the trend, I know. But there’s something particularly entrancing to me about this barely-there fabric – especially when it forms a backdrop for stunning embroidery work.

After the gloominess of the winter months, spring always makes me want to put on my boldest and brightest clothing. The sky is blue, the sun is shining… why shouldn’t your lingerie match up? I always find that a colourful bra set lifts my mood too – it’s the perfect way to kick off each day, and the new season ahead!

Although oodles of support is no longer what I really look for in a bra, I had a Panache bra back when I was pregnant and have also tried, and been impressed by, their Cleo by Panache line. This is a brand that combines a wealth of fit expertise with great fabric choices, to create full-bust lingerie that isn’t boring.

The intimacy of lingerie is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it makes it the perfect gift for such a romance-filled occasion. On the other, it can make it pretty tricky to work out what someone else would feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in…
