Fleur of England

The iconic, I think it's absolutely true to name this British lingerie brand so, Fleur of England presented 3!!! new collections of chicky undergarments. Enjoy!
Iconic collection

Lascivious

Oh, yes, this is pure sex! Not only the name of the brand but its products too :)

Vive Maria, FW2011

The lookbooks of this German lingerie brand have always struck me with the glamour atmosphere created in the images and here again, here it is, this guy wearing tuxedo is glamorous and who is there by his side? Ah, yes, a bare-naked woman. I love the contrast created :)

I.D. Sarrieri

And here comes my favourite lingerie brand of all times and places - I.D. Sarrieri (Roumania). Words are unnecessary here, just enjoy the fabulous looks and fantastic lingerie.

Intenzioni, SS2011, FW2011-2012

This is a new Italian lingerie brand that I have found recently. It does not even have info about itself yet on its web-page, so all we have to do is just enjoy lovely collections of luxurious underwear that sometimes reminds of Carine Gilson's creations.

SS 2011

Femme Noir Swimgerie

What I show you in this post is something extraordinary - lingerie or swimwear? It's up to you to decide but this is called swimgerie, the idea behind it is that you can wear it as both lingerie and swimwear. Very convenient actually as it is made of quick-dry micro-weave fabric so no more problem if you forgot your bikini at home. Get undressed and jump into the pool or sea.

Made by Niki, FW 2011-2012

Niki McMorrough under her brand Made by Niki created something outstanding in my opinion. Fringes! Yes, her new collection String features some extremely lovely pieces made of fringes that will tickle your skin as you move. Isn't it exciting?

Bordelle, FW 2011-2012

Wow, Bordelle has stunned me one more time with its extremely sexy FW 2011-2012 collection, I'm at a loss for words. Wear it and it will definitely reveal the inner YOU!

Elegantly Scant

Oh, yes, it gets even hotter, here is flame-haired Tiah Eckhardt featuring Desperate Housewives collection of Australia-based lingerie brand Elegantly Scant. Extremely sexy!

Chanteuse/ Chansonette Lingerie

Chansonette Lingerie which is previously known as Chanteuse Lingerie produces very chic retro lingerie and loungewear. I also discovered that apart from lingerie there are some really lovely outerwear pieces for the retro style admirers.
Model: Katrina Amato

Lady Gaga did it again

This morning I stumbled upon the brand-new video of Lady Gaga "Judas". Well, I like the song but I do not quite like the exploitation of the religious symbols and the Bible subjects and events. But one should definitely watch it.

Ell&Cee, SS 2011

As for me, the Ell&Cee loungewear is the BEST! Particularly their maxi jewelled tunics.

Calzedonia beachwear collection 2011

The Italian brand Calzedonia presented not one, not two but six!!! collections of bikinis and beachwear. The photoshooting is absolutely gorgeous! Looking at the rain in the window it's nice to dream of the sun, the beach and the turquoise sea.

Model: Cameron Russel



Alegro Lingerie, SS 2011

The big-busted women often experience the same problem - where to find lingerie with a perfect fit but at the same time beautiful? It often happens that perfect fit and beauty do not come hand in hand. I hope that Alegro Lingerie is just the brand to help curvy women feel comfortable and amazing while wearing its lingerie.

Besame, SS 2011

This lingerie brand from Colombia left me speechless because of the model, Natalia Velez, who has the perfect figure any woman would die for and any man would break his neck when looking back at such a woman in the street. Enjoy!

Womensecret, SS 2011

Womensecret which I love a lot has two catalogues for spring and summer. My only disappointment is that it has no more branches in Turkey, it's a personal disaster because I love this Spanish brand and the only way I can buy anything by Womensecret is by going home to Russia.

Fred&Ginger, FW 2011

For a second season in a row Charlotte Holmes models for the British loveliest lingerie brand Fred&Ginger, and as far as I can guess the general theme is ballet, everyone has gone completely Black Swan mad, last year it was Alice, this year it is ballet. Anyway, I like it, what about you?

Yes Master, FW 2011

This is the most extraordinary ad campaign I have ever seen in my life and it belongs to a British lingerie label Yes Master whose creative designer Igor Pacemski drew inspiration from psychodelic witchcraft and love potions to create a very interesting lingerie collection. I must say though that celestial prints are not at all new for the fashion industry (Risto Bimbiloski, Christopher Kane's resort 2011 collection), it is indeed new for the lingerie sector. And yes, I would love to have a body with that foggy town streets. Watch the video to get tuned to what you will see in the ad campaign. Emily Browning reinvented that oldie-goldie Sweet Dreams song by Eurythmics, love her interpretation.

Else Lingerie, SS 2011

Today I'm very happy and honoured to introduce you a Turkish lingerie brand (hurrah!!!) founded by Ela Onur, Else Lingerie. It is hand crafted in Istanbul, Turkey, from the finest materials. It includes two ranges, one under the name of Else is more boudoir-like style while the other, Something Else range, is oriented on younger audience that prefers more comfortable and minimalistic style. And this season the Something Else range featured the Chick Flick collection which to my mind is absolutely gorgeous, I love the candy coloured stripes and ruffles on the bra and the cami.

Lonely Hearts

Lonely Hearts is the New Zealand-based lingerie brand behind which you can find a duo of Steve Ferguson, ex-professional snowboarder, and Helene Morris who comes from a family with a long-standing background of dressmaking and textile. Very modern and feminine and with that subtle vintage feeling.

The Cherry Blossom Girl for Etam

The popular French blogger Alix aka The Cherry Blossom Girl collaborated with the French lingerie giant Etam and here is the result - her own signature collection which is very airy, girlie, candy sweet, romantic and gentle like a rose petal, just like the girl herself. First of all see the video and then enjoy the photos. Oh, and by the way, hurry up if you want to get hold of this lovely lingerie, the stock is limited.

Thays and Thamires, 2011

I discovered this lingerie brand from Brazil a couple of days ago and I was astonished, well, you know here, I mean in this part of the world, we are accustomed to see slim fit models with perfect bodies, what I saw in this collection is absolutely contrary to our expectations but this is the matter of beauty standards in various countries. Very yummy model, I must say!

Intimissimi, summer 2011

Intimissimi has been very productive recently, I haven't yet fully enjoyed their spring lookbook as they presented their new summer collection featuring American beauty Alyssa Miller who terribly reminds me of Irina Sheyk and Bianca Balti.

Stola lingerie

I have come across an interesting premium lingerie brand Stola from Colombia. The FW collection 2011-2012 was inspired by Kalash people and nature (an ethnic group living in the mountain range of Hindu Kush, in a province of Pakistan, having rather interesting traditions I must say, check the Wikipedia for more info on them). It features the lingerie that is divided into 3 ranges - Rain, Sand and Rocky Mountain. I liked the prints, evidently bearing the resemblance to the Kalash people designs and the environment surrounding them. It's this intertwine of cultural diversity and lingerie sophistication that creates a totally unique vision of the world. Here is the ad campaign.

Sockbox

Inese, the owner of a lovely legwear boutique right in the heart of Riga, Latvia, brings miracles into women's lives and smiles on their faces because she believes there is a diva in every woman and she helps to reveal it and bring out all the femininity, sensuality and strength hidden inside of us. See her marvellous legwear collections inside. Magic photos!

Boudoir

Hurrah!!!

Hurrah!!! It works! It works! It works again! I'm divinely happy!!! I missed blogging here! But I hope you followed me here :)))

Angry

I'm really tired of the problems that blogger.com creates every day for those who live in Turkey. First, we cannot access to our own blogs but that's OK I can live with that for a time being, and now another problem which makes me terribly angry, I download the photo but I do not see it in the message and my visitors inform me that the photos actually look very awkward. Due to this reason I put posting here on hold till everything is right again, you can follow me here. Gone because I'm tired of this pain in the ass, sorry.

A little bit of boasting

My lace bag bought at Forever New in February, maybe I will use it to match my lace Zara dress.

Rapsodia, summer 2011

I fell in love with this Argentinian brand the first moment I saw it. As I become more and more inclined to Boho style, I knew this is it. Actually I split the cover on this brand into 2 parts, here I want to present you some looks from their summer 2011 collection, and here (another blog of mine which I use when blogspot gets nasty and doesn't let me log in) you can see the collection.

Incanto, SS2011

The Italian brand, Incanto, presented its swimwear collection. Well, what can I say? I do not mean to be rude but it didn't impress me. At the same time, what do you want for that money? I can only comment on the collection itself. What I liked is the tendency to make a combination of mono colour top or bottom and a printed top or bottom. Anyway enjoy Incanto swimwear on Or Grossman at the photoshoot on the island of Capri.

Jolidon Clandestine, SS2011

Another range of Jolidon lingerie, Clandestine, which in my opinion is rather more daring and seductive in comparison with the main collection which I can say is sweet, that's the first word that springs to my mind. The trendy navy stripes are up to the point here, they create a very sexy sailor girl and I feel it looks a little bit like pin-up style. The rest of the collection is very cabaret style. Anyway, it would be nice to hear what you think about it :)

Jolidon, SS2011

The Roumanian brand, Jolidon, presented its SS collection which is very "spring" indeed - the colours are great - light greenish, pink, clean-sky blue. Floral prints also add to the effect of spring, the nature wakes up and we wake up with it. Enjoy!

Malha Lingerie, FW2011

Yesterday I found a very nice lingerie brand. Guess its origin, right, Colombia! It belongs to Confecciones Marlstone Ltd and is oriented on strong determined women between 24 and 30 years old who know what the trend is. First check their black and white ad campaign which to my mind is extremely sexy with those naughty little devil horns and mysterious mask, and  then see their lookbook. The colour palette is rather dark - dark hues of green, blue, red but there is a splash of bright lemon colour. And oh my God, those laces, they drive me crazy! On the whole, I enjoyed.

Ana Alcazar, SS2011

As usual I was net-trotting and stumbled upon a nice German brand from Munich, Ana Alcazar, run by two ex-model sisters, Beata and Jutta Ilzhofer. What do they produce? Now  that's a nice question the answer for which you'll find inside :)

Absolutely Pôm

A new player on the lingerie market, a French designer Pôm Sevestre and her first collection under the brand Absolutely Pôm. The collection includes 4 ranges which are named after women: Amy, Lily, Dita and Scarlett. I think you can already guess who the designer had in mind while naming the lingerie sets :) On the whole I would say that it's very sophisticated but at the same time very comfortable and absolutely sexy.

Nicole Gill and her Parisian Romance

A young but very talented British lingerie and corset designer, Nicole Gill launched her new collection called A Parisian Romance. It's all boudoir and frou-frou in style and the colour palette is luxurious - black and gold. What catches my eye are the lovely playfull detailings like frills and heart-shaped panels on the back of the panties.

Sretsis, FW2010 and SS2011

The Sukhahuta sisters, Pim, Kly and Matina, founded Sretsis (sisters spelt backwards) back in 2002.  "It’s all about whimsical prints, nostalgic details with a modern-day attitude", says Pim. It's very girlie, girlie chic I would say. Forgot to mention, Matina is the one who started her own jewellery brand Matina Amanita.
I know it's a bit late but I just can't help myself, it's beautiful, and you know I can't resist beautiful things. here is Sretsis's FW2010 Stolen Moments collection which was inspired by Lladro porcelain figurines. The colour palette is dusty pink and grey and ice blue, it all adds to the effect of creating porcelain dolls out of models. Enjoy!

Monsoon Fusion, SS2011

As usual Monsoon has presented wonderful dresses. The photos are amazing, they are full of sun and summer feel. By the way, I'm planning to buy a dress, not from Fusion collection but from the main collection. Hope Mom will get it for me because I have set my mind on it and will not accept anything else :)

Alannah Hill, FW2011

I was truly amazed when I saw Alannah Hill's designs. Actually I admire Alannah, her story is a real story of a modern Cinderella. Fancy, leaving home with only 30 dollars in the pocket and now being an owner of a fashion empire which is built on loveliest girlie chic designs. The Mysterious Girl collection is all about romanticism and innocence, elegance and tenderness and at the same time great sex appeal. I just couldn't resist this sweet girlieness.

RCrescentini, SS2011

Now THAT is very sexy and I can even say bold and provocative. Loads of sheer lace embellished with nice round spots, thin straps of bras and thongs, oh, and I absolutely love these under-bust corsets with lacing.

 Instintual
The girl with the ... snake tattoo :) THAT is even more provocative than the previous collection - sheer fabric, jewelled thongs and, yes, those whips give this range a light s&m touch.
