Doctor Who Diva!

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Doctor Who, one of the BBC’s most popular family shows, have got a very special Christmas edition for you!  Catherine Jenkins is in the show, and she shares a passionate kiss with Danny Horn!

Doctor Who star Karen Gillan poses in a black basque and knickers in Shortlist magazine for a raunchy shoot.  She looks fantastic, and the whole basque and knickers look is bang on trend this season!  As seen on celebrities such as Cheryl Cole and Rihanna, the leotard/big knickers thing is amazing to wear with hosiery, for a sexy and fashionable look.

She poses for a few raunchy and seductive photos throughout the magazine, which is a tad controversial to the program.  Karen also did some other sexy lingerie shoots earlier in the year, and the program received many complaints about how they were innappropriate for a family program!

I still think she looks great! Carry on with the underwear as outerwear! x

Sobbing For Shapewear!

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

There comes a time in life where we need a good cry, and it seems as though Katie Holmes was at this point whilst shopping yesterday.

Trawling through the underwear section of Barneys, Katie had her eyes peeled for a certain type of lingerie.. Shaping underwear.  This just shows that we’re not all perfect, as I’d say she definitely doesn’t need any tummy control knickers on at all!

As she was looking for said shapewear, she seemed to get all emotional as she struggled to find it!  Apparently she was so hysterical that the staff had to call a police escort to calm her down.

This could be due to the pregnancy rumours that are currently circulating of course, or the fact that she is in the most boring religion around Christmas time!

It’s not the first time I’ve heard of lingerie breakdowns; a friend of mine was going on a 4th date with a guy she really liked, and she was so keen to get something nice and sexy, but sophisticated, and not tacky, that she broke down in the middle of Selfridges!  I found it highly amusing… (Can I also just add, her and the same man have now been together for over a year!)

Is That Liza Minnelli?

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Strictly Come Dancing’s winner Kara Tointon poses cabaret style to promote the Euromillions Millionaire Raffle Draw on Christmas Eve!

Looking like Liza Minnelli, Kara wears a black waistcoat, black big knickers and very seductive stockings with a suspender belt.  Again, the burlesque/seductive/black lingerie look is hitting the celebs and magazines.

Hold ups and mock suspender tights have been a huge hit for us this season.  With the weather being like it is, we all definitely need tights to wear to keep warm(er!).  The Henry Holland Super Suspenders, the Bandana Suspenders and Wolford Satin Touch 20 Hold Ups have been in a great demand.

Keep up the underwear as outerwear trend over Christmas, it’s a perfect look for NYE!

Shapewear In The Snow!

Monday, December 20th, 2010

It has now come to a time where I couldn’t think of anything worse than a White Christmas.  The snow in Birmingham is horrendous, it was as if I was pulling my suitcase across a beach last night!

As I’ve woken up this week and shivered as I got out of bed, I’ve been thinking how many pairs of tights and shapewear can I put on under my trousers!  Shapewear doesn’t just suck you in, it also keeps you warm!  The Spanx Power Panties have come in very handy, and I very nearly put Spanx Higher Power over the top of those too!

All of my Henry Holland tights aren’t being used as a fashion accessory at the moment, they’re all being layered up and the patterns are colliding and clashing together!

Keep warm please with shapewear and hosiery!  Who thought we’d be buying lingerie to keep warm, bye bye scarves and gloves!

Whitney Port In Sexy Lingerie

Friday, December 17th, 2010

Whitney Port, our favourite fashion intern ever, is always the girl who makes us envious.  Her figure, hair, style and and wardrobe is absolutely fabulous!

She said she’s always liked the idea of being a lingerie model, and in her shoot for Maxim magazine, she looks exactly that!

Dressed in some tasteful, but sexy lingerie, The City star poses like a a true supermodel and is definitely going to make the magazine sell!

Black, bondage style lingerie is what she chose.  Again, the bondage and black look is all over magazines.  The seductive look and feel makes the wearer feel empowered and sexy, exactly what we want!

For tasteful and sexy lingerie, we recommend Gossard, for a beautiful design and style - especially the Ooh La La Long Line Plunge Bra and the Temptress Scarlet Plunge!

X Factor Shows Style!

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

When we see celebrities in lingerie and hosiery, we always jump up and see what they have got on!

The X Factor contestants (or should we say ex?) have done us proud today!  Cher Lloyd has had the Henry Holland Bandana Knees tights on to the X Factor wrap party last night, however she wore them back to front!  I wonder if she knew she had? :/

Katie Waissel wore a raunchy black and red lycra dress, with coned shaped bra like cups, to the wrap party, and she looked extremely thin and sophisticated!  Obviously we know the Burlesque look is huge at the moment, and the coned breasts are definitely the way to a seductive look!

Sophia Wardman from Belle Amie also wore some Henry Holland tights, this time the Paris Citights to the wrap party.  It seems the X Factor girls can’t get enough of the tights and lingerie look at the moment.

Speaking of Henry Holland, Ellie Goulding has also had the Chain Suspender tights on, the House of Holland has done well today!

It’s All About Burlesque!

Monday, December 13th, 2010

The Burlesque trend has gone worldwide! From sexy lingerie, suspenders and stockings, to basques and PVC, it’s all going down!

Christina Aguilera performed on the X Factor on Saturday night, and looked extremely seductive in fishnets and a black fringed dress.  Her dancers were all dressed in cone bras and basques, making the whole performance look majorly sexy!

The film ‘Burlesque’ is out this Friday, and with a few members of our team already having seen the screening, apparently it’s one not to miss!  Why not spruce up your cinema trip by wearing the same outfits as the cast?! ;)

Get the Burlesque look this winter and look sexy and sophisticated and be the talk of the town!

Cher-Through!

Friday, December 10th, 2010

Well..!  It’s not normal when I’m actually shocked at what I see people wearing (afterall, I’ve seen it all!) however when I saw a photo of Cher at the Spanish premiere of Burlesque, I was horrified.

It wasn’t even as if she’d gone in a bright pink leopard print tutu, she’d gone all black in a blouse, mini skirt and fishnets.  However, the blouse was sheer, the skirt was mini mini, and the fishnets looked horrendous.  To top it all off, she had a SHEER BRA  on also, so the whole top half of her outfit was see through!

Cher’s always known for raunchy and radical outfits.  Earlier in the year she wore a very short black dress to the Hollywood Burlesque premiere, and then at the MTV awards in September she reacted the ‘If only I could turn back time’ outfit! Argh!

The sheer bra would have been trendy and a little edgy, however, as long as the nipple wasn’t showing, and the shirt was more opaque!  Cher could have done with some nipple stickers from Braza, or basically just a new bra!  Something like this Gossard Ooh La La Plunge Bra would have looked fabulous and still sexy underneath a sheer blouse!

Alesha Reveals All!

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Wearing a short, short and tight dress is never great for jumping around in.  Alesha Dixon found this out last night at the BT Visit London Awards.

Dressed up to the nines in a short, silvery, one shouldered number, as Alesha strutted her stuff whilst performing songs off her new album.  These songs involved an energetic dance routine, and occasionally, we saw a little more than we had liked!

She did the odd flash of her briefs from time to time!  She definitely could have done with a longer dress, and I also hope she wasn’t wearing a thong!

In these situations, briefs and shorts are always better than a thong!  Showing as little as possible leaves more for imagination… ;)

Pixie Cinches In!

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Our favourite singer and style icon Pixie Lott has yet again struck gold on her latest tour.

Curvy and confident, Pixie wears a figure hugging corset covered in sequins, really rocking the party wear trend.  Her debut tour, Crazy Cats, was at the Hammersmith Apollo in London last night, and apparently it was amazing!

The said corset, made her figure look amazing.  Pulling in her waist perfectly, the corset worked like a charm.

This curvy and shaped figure is bang on trend this season, with celebs such as Christina Hendricks and the rest of the cast of mad men all having the perfect hourglass figure, along with models such as Abby Clancy and Kelly Brook flaunting their curves.

Get the perfect hourglass figure today with our shapewear, corsets and bodies!
