Luxury Lingerie Shopping

Lala Rose, Miss Lala and Mia are all collections by Lebanese luxury lingerie designer Stephanie Abidjaoudi. An exclusive collection, only found in the best lingerie boutiques around the world, Lala Rose is a relative newcomer to the luxury lingerie industry having started in 2003. But that has not stopped Lala Rose from become a well -deserved name with its own factory of thirty-five employees. Considering Stephanie started out by hand-making her precious creations, she has come a long way in a short period of time.

Made exclusively with high quality silks, cottons, and laces, the garments are bright, colourful and reminiscent of long-gone eras. In fact, the Summer 2008 Collection, Miss Monroe, is a dedication to Marilyn Monroe with gorgeous pink camisoles and bikini panties, canary yellow spaghetti strapped camis with long pants and fabulously red bustiers. The collection is playful, vibrant and sexy and is meant to bring out the star in every woman while at the same time letting out the child in her.

The story behind the name for the business is interesting. Princesses in Morocco are called Princess Lalla and their first names. While Stephanie attended a wedding in Morocco, the other guests called her Lalla Stephanie which is princess. So she named her company Lala Rose.

Stephanie’s designs are so highly coveted that she was chosen to design the wedding trousseau for Saudi King Abdallah’s granddaughter. In 2006, her collection centered on Jackie Onassis creating the pieces from tulle, vintage materials, colourful silks, Swarovski diamantes and plenty of pretty lace.

When once asked in an interview if she was happy with the number of locations that sold her collections, Stephanie answered by saying that she was very picky about what types of stores retailed her products. She would rather have a few upper brow stores than many low-end shops selling her line. And she is not kidding when she makes this remark. A new very high-end store (Sex&…) in Miami opened in November 2007 selling only the most expensive products from around the world. Lala Rose’s complete Marie Antoinette line adorned its rightful position in this posh store. The price tag on an underwire bra was two thousand US dollars. Add the matching panties and the set cost five thousand dollars.

Now that is luxury!

I.D. Sarrieri is all about glamour, sexiness, feminine and elegance. The creations are stylish, provoking and sexy, creating al elegant female silhouette. The fall/winter 2007/2008 collection is about luxury lingerie. The line has taken a glamorous turn. The key statement of the line is the neutrals: golden touches, deep dark brown and caramel hues, combine with rich and jeweled shades, mixing the hottest tones with the warm colors. The fabrics used create a fairy tale look: silk, lace, embroidery.

One of the items that we like is the Padded half-cup bustier (see photo right). The embroidered lace makes this particular item a very sexy gift for that special someone. Mix it with the Brazilian g-string for a perfect naughty combination. The bustier is available on Lingerie Creations for $260.

Planning a destination wedding takes detailed planning and organization. It can also be very exciting and fun! There’s the excitement of picking out engagement rings, the thrill of the bridal party pageantry, and the careful planning of the romantic wedding night with diamonds. Women like to make sure that the first wedding night is memorable, and one way to do that is through making it a sensual feast of luxury and indulgence.

Diamonds have been associated with luxury for ages. Now, even lingerie makers like Victoria’s Secret have paired this beautiful gemstone with the lacy delicacy of lingerie. The Victoria secret fantasy bra line comes out every year trying to entice someone to lay down millions for a jeweled diamond bra. However, you don’t have to have millions to get the same effect. The secret is in tying the right kind of fabrics to the wedding night jewelry for a stunning effect.

Diamonds work well with satin, lace, and luxury fabrics, like velvet. Designing your own luxury lingerie outfit can be as simple as matching your engagement rings to outfits that bring out the luster, rainbow highlights, or brilliance of your diamond jewelry. Fabrics with a nice luster or texture can pair very nicely with diamonds. You can add diamond earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, without resorting to having them stitched into the lingerie. This can make it more affordable and fun to mix and match. To be really daring, add a diamond ankle bracelet to bring a little excitement to the bed sheets.
