The World of Lucile

For those of you looking for inspiration in finding lingerie either for your Wedding day or honeymoon you must have a peek at Lucile and Co.  A truly British luxury brand who offer a unique style that I just adore.

With an interesting heritage, Lucile and Co are inspired by Lady Duff Gordon (whose designs are still available to view in the fashion collections at the V&A museum) and her revolutionary and stunning lingerie designs of the early 20^th Century.

Their prices however do make their garments a real one off purchase... and definitely something for a very special occasion.

For those of you who really want to treat yourselves Lucile also offer a private bespoke service.

Glorious Garters

For many garters are a bit of an after thought... something that you think you should have, as one does! However, after looking into these wonderful undergarments a little further I have decided that an 'after thought' they should most definately not be.  There are some absolutely beautiful creations out there.  Gone are the days of a bit of cheap lace with a baby blue ribbon running through it... just take a look at these little beauties.

 

I think this vintage style 'Aphrodite wedding garter' by Florrie Mitton is such a beautiful creation. It is handmade using silver sequins, beads and metallic embroidered thread. Available at Liberty in Love.

This nude silk tulle 'Glitterati' garter is also by Florrie Mitton, Liberty in Love. The detail of the hand-beaded trim on this garter is so delicate and pretty.  I think it would look amazing paired with some fabulous nude shoes.

This 'Parisa Chantilly Lace Garter' from Love by Suzie is more delicate and traditional. Made from French ivory chantilly lace, vintage embroidered hearts ribbon, cream silk organdie and finished with pearls.

This 'Brigitte blue wedding garter' is an eclectic mix of vintage lace, cream picot satin ribbon and blue ribbon candy stripes under a delicate silk bow.  I don't find it anyway near as classically beautiful as the others, but love it for its simplicity. Available from Love by Suzie, also in pink.

If you are a bridesmaid, what a perfect gift for an unsuspecting bride. Or if you are the bride, go ahead and treat yourself.  These garters are all packaged in beautiful boxes making a fantastic keep-sake of your Wedding Day.

Honeymoon underwear... hot, hot, hot!

Myla is one of my true favourite underwear brands... their quirky style is sexy and seductive yet exudes quality and femininity.  With an absolute no budget policy I would purchase an entire line of Myla underwear for my honeymoon, but in reality just one or two pieces would really set the trip alight!

My favourites for Autumn / Winter 2012 include:

The Luna Collection

 

The Isabella Collection

 

The Velvet Collection

The Chrissie Champagne Collection

 

The Elsa Collection
