Luxury Lingerie Shopping

Today’s modern woman is no wallflower.  She is sexy, confident and self-assured.   Corporate America is lining its boardrooms with women who are educated, capable and powerful.  Even with glass ceilings crashing down everywhere, women still want to be women.  Not to many of us want to go to work in a 3-piece suit and a tie.  We love to be pretty.  We love to be sexy.  We love romance.  We still love being girls.

Pretty and beautiful lingerie is flying off the racks everywhere.  Gone are the days of simple and practical basics being the norm.  Women want much more in their lingerie choices and are willing to pay for it—even if it is hidden underneath a more serious suit.

It’s no wonder then that there is resurgence in the popularity of vintage-inspired lingerie pieces.  The vintage look is vaguely reminiscent of undergarments our mothers may have worn, except with a decidedly modern twist.  These pieces are not designed for function and practicality as much as they are made for their utter beauty and sexiness.  These looks love the female body and it’s curvature.  These retro looks truly epitomize the femme fatale intrigue we girls crave.  This lingerie does take it’s style inspiration from the past, but will be embraced by today’s modern woman for it’s simple elegance and classic styling.  The result is sexy lingerie perfection—beauty and sexiness at its finest hour.

Vintage lingerie stores are popping up all over with offerings that are almost too pretty to cover up.  Items you may not have envisioned yourself wearing not only will you want to wear, but they may find their way to the top of your lingerie wish list.  Some of the sexiest vintage looks include garter belts with beautiful thigh-high stockings, corsets, and bustiers.  Seamed hosiery and fishnet stockings are also incredibly sexy and seductive with a definite retro look.

Satin slips and chemises are also making a comeback.  These romantic looks remind one of the glamorous movie actresses of another era, but are very modern and romantic for today’s aspiring woman.  The best part of the vintage look is its focus on romance.  The fabrics are girly, sheer, satiny and sexy.  The retro look is very subtle, yet it screams passion and intrigue.

It’s not surprising that sometimes we have to take a look into our past to discover our future.  Vintage lingerie puts the focus on a woman’s body, accentuates its curves in a flattering way and makes you feel positively beautiful.  These looks may cost a bit more, but are considered almost classic investment pieces.  Who knows– considering the timeless and seductive beauty of vintage lingerie, it may very well be what inspires another generation somewhere down the road.

By now we are hoping that you have ogled at the glamorous ladies of Sex and the City 2 or if not, you must not miss it! Well it is not the best 2 hours of film but it will be perfect if you are looking for some fun. Fashionistas will love the four females of SATC doing their gazillion wardrobe changes. It is really inspiring to see the beauties and how this movie will help set the trends in the coming months.

We did some sort of detective work and tried to identify the lingerie featured in the flick. Enjoy these great finds:

If you have seen SATC 2, you might remember Carrie Bradshaw dining with Mr. Big? Look through the wine glass and have a glimpse of the Infrared Peacock from La Fee Verte. Don’t you just love how she does layering of the bra as the outerwear.

Bravo to the brands of lingerie that made it to the big screen: Marlies Dekkers, Carine Gilson, La Fee Verte, The Lake & Stars, Cosabella, Eres, Hanro, Huit, Calvin Klein, and On Gossamer.

Here’s SJP in a robe by Carine Gilson.

Enjoy that smile by Samantha featuring a thong from Marlies Dekker.

Here are some other images from SATC 2:

First off, the CK bra, Balmain top, and Hanro Shorts hanging on the left. On the right will be the Huit bra and Curveball from The Lake & Stars

Eres panty and bra on the left, and Marlies Dekkers bra Ship of Dreams and panty from On Gossamer on the right

Vintage Calvin Klein on the left, and Curve chemise on the right.

We also heard that Sarah Jessica Parker selected Fleur of England for the film but we were not able to spot it. Oh, and she also requested the bra to be wrapped after the filming to add to her personal collection.

While there are ruffles that can do the trick, there are also colors that can truly make your bust look a little bit bigger and those are bright colors.  If you opt for bright colors on top and darker colors on the bottom, you are definitely going to even out your body a bit and you are certainly going to make your bust look larger.

If you going for the black and white option, your bottoms should be black and your top should be white that way you can make sure that your body is pretty balanced out.  This illusion will also make your bust look a lot fuller, which is the entire point of course.

You can also choose some small details at the bust, for example, peasant tops are fantastic for this.

Having a small bust is something that a lot of women have to deal with, especially when they have a very small frame; however did you know that there are some tips and tricks that you can use to make your bust look larger without going through surgery?  That is what we are going to talk about in the next couple blogs.

For one, there is the ruffles, pleats and breast pocket trick.  Really any detail can add on some volume to your bust; however you do not want to overdo it.  Large, large pleats and ruffles are not something that you want to add into your wardrobe, but some soft ruffles will make your bust look larger.

Make sure that you stay tuned for the next blog, we will have some more tips and tricks for you!

One of the biggest problems in choosing the right lingerie is finding something in which you feel sexy.

Well, fear not. There are guidelines, tips, and helpful pieces of advice that can actually make shopping for lingerie fun.

After all, every woman deserves to feel sexy — and she should not have to go through hell to do it, right?

So just keep reading this series of posts to get some great tips.

Before you know it, you’ll be hot to trot in the right piece of sexiness!

There have been lots of new inventions in the world of lingerie in general, and the world of stockings in general.

One such innovation are toeless stockings. This gets rid of that undesirable look that occurs when women wear stockings as well as open toed shoes.

Because these stockings have no toes, you see nothing even if you wear a pair of peekaboo pumps.

Of course, there is no saying that you cannot still wear close toed shoes in the spring and summer.

If you choose to go this route, then guess what? You can also still wear traditional stockings.

However, try making them sheer, maybe with a little sparkle! This will give your legs a lovely glistening color!

I hate this whole bare legs trend, and I know a lot of women are there with me. Even if we have awesome, shapely, long, gorgeous legs, not all of us want to go out wearing them bare all the time — especially simply because the style gods up on the fashion version of Mount Olympus tell us we have to.

So how about a few alternatives? Like, if you want to actually try this trend but don’t want to flash off your pale legs or bake in the sun.

Well, here, you have two options. For one thing, you can try sunless tanners. Lotion or spray, with little fuss and a teensy bit of muss, you can have golden skin.

Or leg makeup — also good for covering up tattoos!

Now that we have talked a little bit about what P2 Lingerie is all about, let’s go ahead and explore another outfit that I think that is awesome.  The mixture of lace along with a softer fabric underneath is something that I love and I know that P2 is known for.

This piece is also simple, which is something that I absolutely love.  Simplistic designs are what make this particular lingerie company unique, for they do not need a lot of flair to make their lingerie hot.  However – the bottoms on this particular set are absolutely incredible!

You want hot, sexy and chic – P2 lingerie is definitely the lingerie company that you should be looking for!

Now that you know that spring is right around the corner and the weather is slowly but surely breaking, I can tell you for sure that the lingerie for spring is now being revealed and I have some great luxury lingerie for you here!  P2 is actually one lingerie brand that I think is a little on the new side, however their pieces are absolutely beautiful.

Luxury lingerie can be difficult to find if you are looking for something sexy and chic, but P2 makes it easy to find luxury and comfort in the exact same place.  Take this piece for example, the color is something that is very popular right now and certainly is one of the hottest trends and ribbons?  Oh, those are hot!

Spring lingerie is all about the mystery and the fabric and P2 really knows what they are doing when they came out with this collection!  More in the next blog!

Now that we have talked a little bit about the line itself, let’s move onto another piece from this particular collection.  This is one piece that I have to say that I love.  Not only is the waist clincher something that a lot of designers stay away from but it is definitely a necessity whenever you are looking to make a statement.

This piece reflects not only a beautiful look but overall, when you shed those clothes, you are going to look absolutely incredible to anyone.  The top is something that I love – the cleavage of course is beautiful but I can tell you for sure that the fit overall is awesome.

You want the best, LOU is the best and this collection is absolutely incredible all around!
