Lingerie Galore

As I've gotten older, I've learned to appreciate a beautiful lingerie set when I see one; bows, lace and all. There is something about wearing "above average" underwear that makes you feel slightly risque throughout the day. I mean, silky intimates vs. the left over underwear you're forced to wear when laundry day is near? I'll take the lace and bows, thanks!

Over the last couple months, I've purchased an unnatural amount of lingerie and thought I would share some of my favourite (and more appropriate) numbers with you, just in time for Valentines day. Now before you get your panties in a bunch, I did buy these items for myself and only for myself. I just so happens that I enjoy wearing lingerie and have made a weekly effort to do so for the last couple years. It makes me feel flirty and uplifted, even on the worst of my days. The little things really do make a difference.


Longline Bra Torrid | Lace Thong La Vie en Rose | Pearls Aldo

All black lingerie is my go-to combination for bras and panties. This bra has to be my all-time favourite. It is single handedly the best bra Torrid has ever sold and I wear it more than I'd like to admit. Pared with a lace bottom and some pearls for a sexier, night time look.



Lace Plunge Bra La Vie en Rose | Lace Bottoms La Senza | Heart Necklace Aldo

Beige lingerie is my second favourite, behind black of course. (I'm boring, I know!) It's feminine without being overly ridiculous, and I love the way it looks on all skin tones... LOVE IT!



Zip Front Tank Dream Diva | Patterned Boy Shorts La Senza | Lipstick Stila's "Fuchsia" | Polish Essie's "Bachelorette Bash"

When I'm feeling a little colourful, I opt for one of these numbers. Not as sexy, a little more sporty, but adorable nonetheless. I often fall in love with printed items but don't always want the matching pieces. I started buying a non-matching, correspond piece in one of the prints colours, always works!

P.s. Stila lip colour... UH-MAZING. That is all.


Strapless Bra Addition Elle | Boy Shorts C/O Hips & Curves | Button Down Old Navy | Thigh High Socks C/O American Apparel

And then there are times that I don't feel like prancing around in lace, and that is when this "boyfriend" look becomes the number 1 choice. There is nothing better than basics that fit perfectly. This casual look is still sexy while being comfortable... Best of both worlds, right?

This is so inspiring! I would love to win too, my email is kcrist@capital.edu and I absolutely love this Enviable Assets Garter Chemise.
As a plus size woman it is so hard to find lingerie that is sexy AND flattering and this looks to solve both of those problems!

I love this post! And hips and curves. :) I've also had a lot of luck getting really cute custom lingerie on etsy...there's something special about it being tailored to your measurements.

My favorite item would definitely be the lace trim satin teddy (http://www.hipsandcurves.com/plus-size-lingerie/p-13405-plus-size-lace-trim-satin-teddy-lingerie.aspx)!

Taylor said...

Call me Plain Jane but the classic Cami-Boy Short Set has to be my favorite (http://www.hipsandcurves.com/plus-size-lingerie/p-577-plus-size-cami-boy-short-set-lingerie.aspx). It can be worn with/under anything, it lets the kitty breathe without compromising its sexiness. Its amazing how something as simple as a piece of under wear can make a woman feel so sexy and therefore, confident. No matter what shape, size, or color, you can't go wrong with the set which is why it's my favorite. I hope I win!

I love the Edwardian knickers and camisole, also the vintage shaper (my lingerie likes run towards the old school sexy looks).

I'm due for new lingerie. Especially with my new boo :) He would appreciate this more than me. So I'm doing it for him. He deserves it.

It's almost embarrassing how many cute pairs of underwear and fancy matching knicker sets I own. Lingerie is my favourite thing to shop for, even above makeup and clothes!My favourite piece at Hips and Curves is the new J'adore Overlay Chemise (I think its something about the ruffles near the bum)

I love corset like tops that can be worn for sexy time and with a cute skirt and cardigan for going out! email is maniawithoutmaddness@gmail.com fingers crossed that I will have something pretty coming my way soon!

Jasimine said...

I am so happy that you informed me of the Hips and Curves website. I have given up on lingerie until I came across this fully loaded site of lace and lingerie. I love the collection of corsets. I never had a chance to buy one, but with the hopes of winning I will purchase the Daisy Embroidered Basque. It is SMEXY !!!!(smooth and sexy)
