I have a lot of Only Hearts in my closet. The majority of what I have (and what they make) are bralettes and briefs. I was introduced to them back in the upstate NY by Deb at Torso Lingerie, and have kept coming back to them because they do something really well that I have… Continue reading Designer Spotlight: Only Hearts
Category: Brand Spotlight
This is where we talk about designers. What we think of their lingerie design, their bras, their briefs…what their fabric quality is, how much they cost and generally how they make us feel. In short…are they worth the money to buy? Even if it’s just for a lazy Sunday afternoon (or, of course, an amazing, over the top seduction…but sometimes the Sunday afternoon is the seduction, hey?)
Lonely Lingerie
I heard about Lonely not too long after I came to Australia, but it took me a long time before I actually pulled the trigger and purchased. I had heard that their sizing wasn’t for everyone, and there weren’t many stockists in Sydney so I was reluctant to purchase online without knowing what my size… Continue reading Lonely Lingerie
la fille d’O
For all that I own of this designer based out of G(h)ent, Belgium (read:lots), I have yet to write a feature. And that is one that should be remedied sooner rather than later.

One of my favourite pieces of hers is soft bamboo jersey. (The Phoebe knickers, which I have… Continue reading Hopeless Lingerie
Else
There hasn’t been much talk about Else lately. I’d like to remind you of, or introduce you, to this designer. TL;DR, amazing. The Else atelier is based in Istanbul, headed up by Ela Onur, who was born into the artisanal lingerie field (what I would give to be her…to grow up with that exposure. Sigh).… Continue reading Else
EricaM
EricaM is one of those designers I got introduced to by my friend Deb (who happens to own a luxury lingerie shop in upstate New York) and, you guessed it, fell in love. EricaM is a relatively new design house in the lingerie field, launching fully in 2012. Based out of Brooklyn, she has all… Continue reading EricaM
Cosabella
I have always preferred thongs to briefs, one I got past those unfortunate early teen years, at least on an everyday kind of day. There are some days where full coverage is necessary, or for some reason I wake up and reach for the brief because it’s what my body confidence needs that day. Up… Continue reading Cosabella
