    Velvet Lingerie: ‘Cause Baby It’s Cold Outside

    Byelisabeth December 11, 2016 9:25 am

    Velvet lingerie is everywhere right now. It’s the perfect Winter fabric thanks to its smooth and thicker texture. Just looking at velvet makes me feel all warm inside. It’s not just showing up on bras, either. You’ll find it on bralettes, bodysuits, chemises, slips, briefs, lounge shorts, and robes. It’s often used as a trim, or crushed and burned…

    Pretty Blue Lingerie That Won’t Give You The Blues

    Byelisabeth October 24, 2016 9:03 am

    Blue lingerie is big this Fall. To be honest, it’s been a favorite color choice the past few seasons. What is it about blue? It turns out that it’s everyone’s favorite color. Blue is the color of the sea and the sky. It exudes trust and confidence, which is why it’s good to wear to a…

    Knicker Luxe: Never Boring, Luxury Cotton Basics

    Byelisabeth October 20, 2016 9:07 am

    Knicker Luxe is an Australian brand I stumbled upon at one of the semi-annual intimate apparel tradeshows. It was easy to talk to Sophie Higgins, Knicker Luxe co-founder, and Brand Director. It wasn’t just her great sense of humor and adorable accent that reeled me into the booth. Her infectious passion for the business of…

    Fall Lingerie Trends: In Stores or Coming Soon

    ByHolly123 September 26, 2016 9:14 am

    I stopped doing formal lingerie trade show coverage a few years ago for reasons that aren’t exactly a secret: much of the stock at shows like Curve looks pretty much the same. Lingerie trends have become less exciting over the past few years, and color palettes have evolved to focus on nothing but the most…

    Not Wearing Bras: Empowering or Embarrassing?

    Byelisabeth July 25, 2016 8:23 amMay 31, 2025 4:46 pm

    I’m intrigued by the reported trend that women are no longer wearing bras. Ditching your bra is supposed to make you feel more independent, liberated, and empowered. Here are some headlines from the past few weeks: “Why Millenials Are Going Braless,” Why More Women are Freeing Their Breasts,” and “12 Reasons Going Braless is the…

    FW2016 Lingerie Trends: Work Is Play and Play Is Work

    Byelisabeth March 9, 2016 3:58 pm

    What lingerie fashions might you find in stores this Fall? After walking the aisles of New York’s Javits Center for two days during the Curvexpo Lingerie & Swim tradeshow, I can sum up FW2016 lingerie trends in one sentence: work is play, and play is work. What do I mean? Athleisure styles continue to dominate…

    Baby It’s Cold Outside: 12 Hot Winter White Bras

    Byelisabeth January 20, 2016 9:05 am

    White bras make me think of my early teens when my mom took me to the intimate apparel department of The Bon Marche (now Macy’s) to buy my first bra. I wasn’t thrilled. Not because I was embarrassed about my recent breast development. My new bra shopping adventure felt awkward because my mother looked at my chest…

    Layneau Lingerie: Reinventing and Reclaiming Feminine Power

    Byelisabeth November 11, 2015 9:11 am

    Think starting up a new lingerie brand is only for energetic young fashion graduates? Think again. Layneau founder, Kaaren Bedi, launched her luxury lingerie brand after a successful career in another industry. I first met her when she showed her initial collection in New York. I could relate to her mid-life professional path switch since…

Pick your own date, any date! You can invest in sexy lingerie whether it’s a three year, three month, or third date anniversary. It’s a special…
