Lingerie Please Blog

Susannah Reid from BBC Breakfast Show has come under scrutiny by viewers in recent months for showing off her cleavage. The newsreader is always suitably covered up perhaps with a v-neck or a scoop neck but never anything that would be offensive to the general public. Just a normal top worn by a woman blessed with a larger bust.

The question we beg to ask is why are women with larger breasts considered as flirty or ‘flirting like a schoolgirl’ as the newsreader was called in a recent interview because she was wearing a scoop neck? A perfectly modest scoop neck may I add.

These stereotypes are carried on by men and women alike who seem to think that a larger bust means that you are somehow deficient in intelligence yet abundant with outrageous flirty behaviour. Are we to carry on these unfair stereotypes for ever?

In fact the best response was ‘People seem to be shocked that women have breasts’ by Newsreader Susanna Reid. We should be celebratory of our assets if we have them, but other people shouldn’t define us by them.

We at Lingerie Please would love to know your view. Should we be defined by what’s in our bras?

Lana Del Ray looks gorgeous in recent pictures that have been released showing her filming her new video for the song ‘Blue Jeans’. The star looked fantastic in a one piece swimsuit having  a steamy encounter with her co-star.

Lana looks like a pin up from the 50s or 60s in her swimwear as she lounges in a pool for her new video, showing he has the stuff stars are made of. We cant wait to see what Lana does next here at Lingerie Please.

Summer is on its way and we couldn’t be more delighted. We are walking to work in the morning with it being slightly warm and are even contemplating getting rid of my winter coat. Who would have thought it?

For summer holidays you need a great bikini, something that makes you feel comfortable and looks great for your body shape but is also something a bit special too. If you have broader shoulders avoid halterneck bikinis as they create the illusion of making you appear wider if you are top heavy, so go for a bandeau bra, not only will it balance you out it also means no strap marks. If you have narrow shoulders or a boyish figure then a halter neck bikini or triangle bikini will create the illusion of a curvier figure.

In terms of bikini bottoms the choice is yours, there are many options whether you prefer tie side bikinis or feel safer in a brief.

Lingerie Please has a great range of swimwear for any occasion or body type and with some great designs and colours. Have a look whilst browsing for your holidays it may give you some inspiration!

The trend is brights for summer and that extends to your knicker draws girls!

Liven up your underwear with some great brights, fashion doesn’t just extend to your clothes! So treat yourself to something that stands out and is gorgeously bright.

We say extend this to your bras, knickers and even your suspenders for a great summer look.

We think you will look gorgeous so follow the trend with bright lingerie!

A day has come I think a lot of people didn’t think they would see, the Kardashian sisters in there lingerie promoting a new venture. The sisters look fantastic in bra and knicker sets. Khloe Kardashian looks especially lovely in a basque. All of them in the recently publicised pictures are wearing black stockings and suspenders. In another picture Kim is pictured alone in a pair of satin panties that look great in a pale pink colour for a more playful shot.

We at Lingerie Please think the pictures are great as they are promoting more of a positive body image to young girls. Although the pictures may have been airbrushed, there fuller figures are more similar to our figures today and help to dispel negative images created by the media and magazines of what we should be.

The creator of Spanx Sara Blakely has made it on to the Forbes rich list. Last week the 41 year old made it to billionaire status reaching the Forbes rich list from an idea that started when she was wearing some white trouser and she decided to cut the fit off some shaping tights. 

Since then Spanx has gone global, more and more products are added all the time targeting every area of the body from bingo wings to that extra tyre. Not only that the celebrities are loving them too and we are loving them for it! Celebrities such as Beyonce and Sarah Jessica Parker have been seen wearing the cult shaping pants to show us they are normal like the rest of us!

So what is the future for shapewear? Well the new trends as shown by Kate Winslet on the red carpet are heading in the direction of the perfect hourglass. This trend has been made popular from the hit television series ‘Mad Men’ to get that 60s hourglass look. Many lingerie stores are already creating items that give you a nipped in waist and shapely hips as well as boosting your bust for a perfect hourglass figure.

We at Lingerie Please would love to know what your view is of Spanx? Would you wear them?

According to an online survey, one third of women would rather have big breasts instead of a high IQ. A survey conducted of 1,100 18-25 year olds found that 41% of women would rather have bigger breasts than a high IQ because it would make them ‘feel happier’.

44% of the respondents would rather have a ‘slim figure’ than high intelligence, with 29 percent saying having a slim figure would make them more confident. This survey could be as a result of how women feel men view them, with 59% thinking appearance is much more important to intelligence. This also could be due to a survey released last year that found that thin women earned more than there average weight counterparts.

We at Lingerie Please think that being thin shouldn’t have such a massive hold over you, appearance is important but only if its for yourself and not as a result of what other people may think. Flaunt your curves and just wear some great shapewear, you will have more of a laugh enjoying your figure and your life rather than obsessing over things like your weight!

It has recently been reported that Rihanna’s father said she ought to lose weight after he last saw her in her swimwear on holiday back at home.

Her father reportedly said that recently especially at the Grammy’s the star was back to looking her best. Judging on recent photos of her on holiday in Barbados with friends Rihanna doesn’t think she has a problem with her weight. Taking pictures of herself in her bikini on a treadmill and this morning taking pictures of herself naked holding what looks to be a blonde wig with her natural brown hair tied up into a bun.

The star also seemed to poke fun at ex Chris Browns girlfriend posting pictures that appeared to mock where she comes from and also tweeting about his new girlfriends modelling career and claiming perhaps (if reports are to be believed) that she is just a follower of Rihanna’s style and career.

We at Lingerie Please think Rihanna always looks fabulous and that there is too much focus on celebrities’ weight when they are perfectly healthy! What do you think?

Dita Von Teese is world famous as a burlesque dancer and striptease and has done very well promoting other lingerie ranges before. This new range has been designing was set to debut when Dita wrote on her twitter page that she had told all the models they should be without fake tan.

The star is famous for her pale look and retro make up and so it should come as no surprise that she has issued a no spray tan rule. The star will be designing  a great range of sexy lingerie ready to debut very soon!!

Selena Gomez has recently been pictured lounging in her swimwear in a break from her filming, obviously taking advantage of the good weather and topping up her tan.

The star was pictured on her sun lounger in Florida obviously relaxing after her boyfriend Justin Bieber’s birthday weekend. The star wore a string bikini with side tie bikini bottoms and looked fantastic and relaxed with a carton of juice and a pair of sunglasses and her hair tied back in a loose bun. This girl obviously doesn’t feel the need o have the big starry lifestyle and is happy to go make up free on her sun lounger and enjoy the simple things in life!
