Lingerie Please Blog

Over and over again I read articles about plastic surgery and liposuction, and it physically makes me feel in pain!  Celebrities are the worst for it, they can’t seem to stand the fact that they may have put on a bit of weight, and even worse if it is post-baby!

Surely you’d think that losing the baby weight would be the last thing on your mind when you have a beautiful new little member of the family around?  Celebs such as Victoria Beckham and Giselle Bundchen dieted majorly and had the weight off within 2 months, whereas Chanelle Hayes has gone under the knife for liposuction and a boob job.

Yes, it gets the weight off.  Yes, it leaves flabby skin.  And Yes, it leaves scars!

I personally would recommend enjoying life with your newborn, and trying to sleep rather than worrying about your weight!  I’m not saying I would stay looking pregnant for years to come, but gradually losing weight is the best way forward!  You can just turn to Lingerie please for your help!

Treat yourself to some amazing shapewear, like the Spanx Higher Power, and staying comfy in maternity lingerie and nursing bras!

Love from Bex xx

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!)

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!

“5…4…3…2…1…Happy New Year!!”

“Happy New Year!”

“What will your New Years resolution be?”

“I want to start a diet and lose 2 inches from my waist!”

Yes, I am sure that most of us started 2010 with the best intensions and diet related resolutions firm in place. However, as we now move into February I wonder how many of those have stuck to our diet plans or new exercise regimes? I know I haven’t! As the New Year slowly turns into ‘just another year’ we begin to forget our promises of chocolate free lives and morning jogs in the park and settle back into reality.

As you re-stock your fridge with treats and put your trainers to the back of the wardrobe it is natural to feel a small, but all be it there, pang of guilt. Especially if you made your resolution along side a friend, who is still sticking to their plan with military precision. As if you don’t feel bad enough already you know that your best friend will soon be reaping the rewards of her hard work and (stronger than yours) will power. You will go out for cocktails and she will be the one getting eyed up, or she will come to your house and your teenage kids will say ‘Wow you’re looking great’ (something they haven’t said to you for about 3 years) and you will regret that lunch time éclair straight away.

Lingerie Please are here to help. We understand how hard those resolutions can be and we know the guilt you feel as you fail. We have a quick fix solution that will ease the guilt, boost your confidence and make sure its you that gets the flirty looks when out with your friend and compliments from your kids.

Your friend will think you have worked as hard as she has at your mutual diet/exercise resolution and nobody needs to know otherwise! Get instant results and feel fabulous again with Lingerie Please.
