Bluebella...again.

I really don't want to get too repetitive but Bluebella are really tempting me into debt at the moment. Although they have always produced gorgeous lingerie, they really are stepping up their game this season by re-developing some old designs. Previously i had fallen in love with this lingerie set by Bluebella that unfortunately i never managed to purchase. This is the Vivienne set, which although not my normal style (the soft pink base fabric is a little too girly for my liking normally) i really like. The Vivienne set seemed to be quite popular, so maybe this is why it has been developed, but this basque is definitely much more my kind of lingerie. I love the lace and anything even slightly see through, as always, but i think what tempts me even more is the shapes created on the basque which would give the illusion of a smaller waist. This can be particularly flattering and on top of this, the matching knickers are my preferred brief style, as some of Bluebella's basques can only be bought with a more boy short style which i never find all that flattering on myself.

Welcome, Gigi Noir.

  The time has finally come...Gigi Noir accessories are now being stocked on ASOS. Ive been waiting for this since the Lingerie Journal announced this in late July along with a few pictures of the new accessories being stocked.
Although I'm not normally a fan of anything sequinned, i do really like these bondage style accessories for their quirky edge. I think its the rejection of thread tasselling that i love, being replaced by beading so that there is an extra level of detail on each Gigi product.

Nipple Fact Fridays

Well i thought there ought to be something that i did regularly on the blog that gave you something to look forward to, so Friday's are going to be all about nipples (until we know all there is to know).
For today:
FACT 1: No two nipples are identical.
Weird, right? Even the two that you have are different...

FINALLY, normal models.

I was scrolling the internet and came across this American brand called Dear Kate.Their lingerie can be bought all around America and in Canada and the aim of the brand is to create knickers that don't focus entirely on aesthetics, but more on creating lingerie that is comfortable and the perfect alternative to the typical period pants. They are stain and leak resistant and very soft, making them very comfortable and very fairly priced at around $36 USD (around £22).
And then there is the best bit...their new range ADA is being promoted by models in a range of sizes, which is exactly what i want to be seeing in the lingerie market. Its not that i think women with tiny physiques aren't attractive, they can look amazing, but i would like to see more curvaceous women out there. After all, isn't it the figure that a lot of men claim they are looking for? And its certainly a more healthy look that will leave a much better impression on younger girls so that they don't think they have to look absolutely tiny and airbrushed. I applaud Dear Kate for their new campaign featuring these New York beauties, more brands should definitely be following suit!

Triangl Swimwear

If someone asked me which swimwear company succeeded the most this year i would have to admit that it is Triangl Swimwear. Even though the designs are fairly simple, the fabrics and colours used made them this summers must-have bikini! And i have to admit, a massive amount of celebrities have been wandering around the beach in these gorgeous two pieces;including Renee Somerfield, Caitlyn Paterson and Examples girlfriend, who posted a picture of her and her bump announcing her pregnancy in one of the lovely pieces.


On top of this, only a few months ago, Triangl launched their lingerie label Triangl Underwear, offering similar shapes and styles in an intimate apparel range.
Although i want to see what this brand have planned for the next summer season, I'm hoping that they don't change their stock too much as i definitely want to be buying this metallic and khaki set for my next holiday...

BARE ESSENTIALS: August '14

I thought i would do a bare essentials post before i run off to Reading festival for the weekend tomorrow...

There are a few things that have caught my eye this month that I'm hoping to get before i go back to university at the end of September (some that are more realistic than others). I discovered a brand called SJ Lingerie a while back. It is an australian brand that creates very feminine and sophisticated lingerie pieces, featuring a lot of gorgeous laces. Some of these pieces came to my attention when reading a new blog that i discovered called Scarlet's Letter; another lingerie blog that is well worth a read! My favourite from the new SJ collection has to be the Raw bodysuit. I will always have a soft spot for a bodysuit, they are quite literally my favourite style of lingerie. However what makes this quite different has to be the low back and delicate lace detail, which can only be described as absolutely beautiful.

Ive also fallen completley in love with the Neoteric collection. The bralet and knickers that have been matched with a midi slip skirt create the perfect outfit with a slight vintage edge. The lace is really interesting, using a more geometric lace rather than the classic floral pattern that you would find in a lot of laces. With the set coming to around $400 AUD this really isn't all that much considering the company go out of their way to source beautiful fabrics and laces predominantly from European countries such as France.

Lastly, a little bit of high street lingerie. I saw this set in the Oxford Circus Topshop and loved the knickers so decided to try the set on. It fitted really well and I'm sure I'm going to have to make this my Happy September treat...any excuse to buy new underwear...I think I'll have to be doing a review post on this bra as a lot of people seem to have different opinions on the fit of Topshop lingerie and although I've never had this same problem, this really is one of the best fitting bra's i have ever experienced.

Bluebella Eloise Quater Cup Bra Review

  I have quite physically been pining over this bra for months. I'm very guilty for spending hours on the ASOS lingerie department when i should really be doing something more productive, but i always ended up wishing that i had the money to buy this beautiful bra from Bluebella. Eventually, as anticipated, i gave in. At only £30 you can't really complain; this quarter cup bra has soft padding in the sling for that extra support and a fine layer of mesh to cover the nipple, making it absolutely amazing. This bra is sold in dress sizes, so i purchased a 10, which was probably the best size for me. Normally if bras are sized in dress size then i would buy a bigger size so that the cup would be slightly bigger, however because this is a quarter cup i thought that this would not make a lot of difference and this seemed to be the right decision. I have never bought anything from Bluebella before, however this will definitely not be the last purchase that i make with them. Lets face it, with their new campaign featuring the favourite of the MIC group, Binky Felstead, they can't really do anything wrong. The Caterina bra, suspender and knicker are definitely next on the list...
