Can Lingerie Help You To Lose Weight?

After lots of time searching for the answer to my question I can confirm that yes, sexy lingerie can help in weight-loss.  It can encourage weight loss in a number of ways and at every stage of your weight loss progress. With or without a romantic partner, shopping for a negligee can inspire you to stick to a regular plan of diet and exercise, it can also give you the motivation to work out even when you’re not feeling otherwise motivated, and amazingly it can make romantic moments far more pleasurable.

I believe lingerie can flatter virtually any body shape and type if you get the right size and design. I also believe that when you put on that negligee and look in the mirror, you’ll find yourself transformed into a sexier woman. Your romantic partner will be amazed, and that extra attraction between the two of you can give you a further boost of confidence (and lose you a few extra calories, see my post on Sex and Weight-loss) . But, even without a romantic partner, just looking at yourself in the mirror in a negligee can give you a great boost of self-esteem. The more self-esteem you have, the more motivated you are to work out and the more confident you are to perhaps even go and join a class to work out.

Telling yourself you need to lose ten pounds by a certain date can be an effective way of structuring your diet and exercise routine, but it’s hard to picture the visual rewards of losing weight when you’re still in the process of losing it. Trying on a piece of lingerie can show you in the mirror where your curves might improve after a little exercise and toning. You can also buy a negligee that’s a few sizes smaller than what you currently fit into. Holding up that negligee and telling yourself that you’re going to wear it once you lose those 10, 20 or 50 pounds can give you a tangible, visual goal to work towards.

Lingerie can also make your romantic life more exciting. Negligees can be responsible for changing your usual routine when it comes to the bedroom and encouraging more foreplay, both of which can make your romantic life more exciting. If you find an attractive piece of lingerie that you want to wear in order to spice up your romantic life, you’ll feel more motivated when it comes to losing weight and fitting into the negligee that flatters your more toned shape.

Some negligee items can come with slimming materials that make your body seem curvier in all the right places and slimmer in all the places were being slimmer is more attractive. The negligee can make you appear more toned and give you a preview of what your body can naturally be like after you continue to lose weight.  Looking in the mirror and appreciating your slimmer figure can motivate you to achieve similar results without the assistance of the slimming fabric.

Hide Weight Instantly

We have all heard of 'magic knickers', which, if you didn't know, are now available for men as well as women to keep your figure looking slim but there are many more types of shaping lingerie that can address different problem areas. You may simply want to hide some stubborn flab around the midsection, or you might want to sport some shapely thighs under skinny jeans. There are even full-body shaping lingerie pieces that can give you instant contours and curves. But these types of undergarments are not just for achieving that perfect hourglass figure, shaping lingerie has many more benefits which you can uncover with long-term use.

There are three primary areas that are addressed by body shaping lingerie: the bust, waist, and the hips. One big benefit of wearing shaping lingerie is that you instantly get that feminine silhouette. With the right push-up bra, corset, and thigh shaper, you have that hourglass figure that will go well with your sexiest dress. And all these can be achieved in an instant, without having to see a cosmetic surgeon. The corset or girdle can tame that stubborn flab around your midsection. Thighs can seem less flabby with the thigh shaper. You can create better cleavage with the right push-up. For every problem area, there is a quick fix in the shape of a body shaper.

Shaping lingerie, especially the full-body shapers, promote good posture. They keep your midsection so tight that slouching becomes very uncomfortable. Having good posture helps greatly in adding to your sexy appearance. So not only do you look slim and curvy, you also end up looking confident. Plus, good posture is always good for keeping back pain at bay.

Another big benefit to body shaping lingerie is that these tight fabrics actually further promote weight loss. Shaping lingerie is usually made from Lycra or silicone, a warm but breathable material. If you have ever been to a spa, you will know that with some weight-loss treatments, they usually recommend the sauna and a body wrap? Well, Lycra works in a similar fashion. Lycra wraps around your problem areas and keeps them warm. Plus, when you move, the material creates friction against these areas, causing them to sweat. This is why most women who regularly wear shaping lingerie find that their flab slowly disappears over time.

Benefits in Self-Esteem

Believe it or not, not only does shaping lingerie change your outward appearance, it can change your attitude towards weight-loss as well. Most women who wear body shaping lingerie are encouraged to retain a healthy and active lifestyle. This is because once you get a sneak peek of what your body shape can possibly become, you start to believe that your dream figure is achievable.

Seeing your body in a sexy silhouette will make you want to pursue a healthy diet and keep up your weight-loss efforts. Sporting curves and managing to slip into that slim dress also gives you a boost in self-esteem, which tends to remain long after you’ve slipped off the lingerie.

Lingerie is a clothing item that requires a lot of confidence before you can wear it well. The point of wearing lingerie is to feel sexy, confident and alluring. However, it’s hard to feel these emotions when you are feeling self-conscious about your body. The secret to feeling comfortable in lingerie is to choose the right style that fits your body type. If you are planning to shop for lingerie in the near future, keep these guidelines in mind.

Apple-Shaped Body Type

If you have an ample bust size but also a flabby tummy then you have an apple body type. Women with apple body types tend to be heavy around the mid-section but have relatively slimmer legs. When buying lingerie, your goal should be to disguise your tummy. Naturally, you should stay away from skimpy lingerie that exposes your mid-section, such as two-piece lingerie and lingerie made of see-through materials. Instead, choose lingerie that provides coverage for the stomach. Lingerie in dark solid colors is also best. A two-toned color scheme is also effective in concealing a big tummy. The bottom half of the lingerie can be dark while the top half is lighter. To further draw attention away from your stomach, it’s also good to emphasize other parts of your body. For instance, if you have a nice bust, choose low-cut lingerie or wear a bustier so you can show off your cleavage. If you have well-shaped legs, opt for garments that are cut high up to show off your legs.

Pear-Shaped Body Type

If your problem areas are your hips, thighs and buttocks then chances are you have a pear-shaped figure. If you have this body type then your goals would be to conceal the bottom half of your body. You can do this by wearing long and flowing lingerie. To draw attention away from your hips and thighs, emphasize the upper area of your body by showing lots of skin. Lingerie straps and a plunging neckline effectively show off the skin on your shoulders and chest. If you prefer to wear shorter lingerie, choose a design with ruffles along the bottom hem to conceal the size of your thighs.

Cylinder-Shaped Body Type

If your figure happens to be slim but lacking in any curves then you’ve got a boyish or cylinder-shaped body type. Luckily, there are several things you can do to accentuate the femininity of your boyish figure. Since you have a slim stomach that you can show off, you can get away with panties and bras. Boy shorts look great on your type of figure – they can accentuate your butt and make it look fuller than it really is. Choose boy shorts that come in sensuous materials such as lace and silk. If you happen to be flat-chested then you need to choose a bra that can give you the illusion of an increased bust size. Push-up and under-wire bras can give you an instant lift. However, if you are looking for something more, then choose bras that are padded.

luxury S&M de luxe lingerie and bodywear label Bordelle combines romantic themes

With diversity in mind, luxury S&M de luxe lingerie and bodywear label Bordelle combines romantic themes with a touch of humor for its debut bridal collection. Consisting of three ranges – True Romantic, Something Blue, and Bondage Bride – Bordelle’s Bridal collection offers brides and brides-to-be, a beautifully sexy and edgy mix of accessories, dresses/girdles, bras, briefs, suspenders and thongs. The UK-based company has been known for firing up the static sexy lingerie apparel industry and this entry into bridal helps cement that reputation even further. The bridal ranges blend delicate couture lace with customized satin elastic bands for a feminine and timeless alternative to what the company describes as an abundance of dull conservative styles currently dominating the bridal market.

The collection offers some of the same styles such as the Angela dress within all three groups, but with a slightly different twist depending on the range. The Bondage Angela dress, for example, with its delicately and symmetrically placed 18k gold plated oversize rings has more of a S&M de luxe feel while the same dress in True Romantic inspires slightly less naughty thoughts. The blue, satin double bow on all of the items, including accessories, within the Something Blue range are just lovely.


The new bridal range already has its own fan following and piqued the interests of celebrities and stylists in the media world as well.

Bordelle Bridal collection on the cover of British GQ October with Lana del Rey“With a vast celebrity and media following including the likes of Madonna and Lady Gaga, it was no wonder internationally acclaimed stylist Sascha Lilic called upon Bordelle for GQ’s ‘Woman of the Year’ shoot with songstress Lana Del Rey. Wanting to toughen up Del Rey’s ‘girly’ image the intimate but elegant editorial portrays a dominant vixen by teaming the feminine Confetti Lace Angela dress with an oversized, white tuxedo for a RTW finish,” noted the company. “Falling under the title of ‘True Romance’ the dress is beautifully hand crafted in the labels West London atelier by combining a mix of French Chantilly lace with cream elastic panels to structure the silhouette and add a touch of vintage glamour.”

NOE UNDERGARMENTS SS14 AT LINGERIE FASHION WEEK

New York City’s Lingerie Fashion Week had us dying to purchase pretty new underthings and daring underwear, but some sexy lingerie lines did more than just inspire undies envy.

If you haven’t yet heard of NOE Undergarments, a California-based lingerie company, a glimpse of their Spring 2014 collection should cement them in your mind. With a vision of “empowering women through encouraging sensual expression, creativity, and total unrestricted freedom through the world of intimate apparel,” designers and twin sisters Bonnie Rae Boyes and Shelah Jean Abubo have created a beautiful line of lingerie for women to feel absolutely sexy in.

Models were given pale and perfect doll-like faces and pink wigs with strong brows. It was a welcome departure from the sexed-up red cheeks and lips, creating an otherworldly, innocent look for the collection. This seemed to underline NOE’s intent of appealing to women and their needs rather than simply in the context of men.

Futuristic, original, feminine, and empowering, NOE Undergarments’ Spring 2014 showcase was a joy to behold.

There are four lines in the sexy lingerie range, including breezy nightwear in pale prints mixed with cut out elements and metal studs, soft pastel florals, bright and sheer bodies and playsuits and romantic lace in colours such as electric blue.

In the swimwear, meanwhile, there are just two lines for now, a monochrome collection in various prints and a gorgeous vintage rose print.

Goddesses of lingerie: escape is not an option

Lingerie is best highlighted by a sexy attitude but whenever there’s a dream-like atmosphere involved, the scenario gains a certain softness that becomes practically irresistible. Infusing the shoot with its old-world charm, the inn serving as location feels like the perfect hiding place for the goddesses of sexy lingerie. Photographer Billy Rood explored the depths of seductiveness and brought out its most delicate reflection.

It’s hard not to instantly fall for the almost retro feel of the photo shoot, especially as it complements the subtle magnetism embodied by models Dana Taylor, Samantha Drew and Caroline. Faded colors, blocks of sheerness and the most gentle fabrics criss-cross in a story that seems to be touched by the elegance of a different era, more so with Erica Milde’s ultra-light styling balancing out the extreme sensuality.

Featuring gorgeous hair and make-up by artist Carol Wood, a blend of naturalness and old glamour, the photo shoot is exquisite in emphasizing the role of lingerie in a way that makes use of both sides of femininity.

Chrissie Nicholson-Wild’s latest collection for Curve Couture

Forged with traditional English influences, couture corsetier Chrissie Nicholson-Wild’s latest collection for Curve Couture, ‘Countryphile’ reflects the faded glory of the aristocratic country pile. Rundown and archaic heritage, still faintly gilded around the edges and still profoundly beautiful. Countryphile features Edwardian sexy lingerie in sensuous leather, classic tailored suits and glorious gowns mixed up with equine fashion, armour and Steampunk detailing. Hugely important to the aesthetic of Curve Couture is the transformative affect of the corset, both on the physical body and the psyche of it’s wearer noted the designer.

Nicholson-Wild says, “I love the aesthetics of the corset, the flow of the lines, the über feminine silhouette it creates. I love that when you wear a corset you feel like you’re wearing armour, and you know that all the eyes in the room are on you. It’s a wonderful kind of confidence to be put on show, and yet feel entirely protected.”

Lingerie makes the perfect gift for intimates

Lingerie makes the perfect gift for intimates - granted you get her sizing correct - but pretty underpinnings with a fashionable bent will earn extra brownie points this Christmas.

Lonely, the sexy lingerie line from local label Lonely Hearts, has released a very cool mint coloured version of their 'Cyd' bra ($85, pictured above), to mark being sold in the cult US boutique Opening Ceremony. Their soft cup bras are particularly popular, but the introduction of underwire this season means the lingerie works for more shapes and sizes, with a DD cup available.

Stella McCartney's sought-after lingerie is now available at The Dressing Room at Takapuna's The Department Store (and online here), while luxury French brand Chantelle is being sold in Smith & Caughey's extensive lingerie department.

Other designer lingerie to look for? Ingrid Starnes' silk 'Henrietta' slip and Kate Sylvester's lace detailed soft-cup 'Loella' bra will cater to vintage tastes, and pieces from Araks - worn by the likes of Sofia Coppola, Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams - will speak to the woman who likes to keep things elegant and simple.A small selection of classic pieces are available from Everyday Needs.

Rihanna At Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: Lingerie And A Rockstar Attitude

NEW YORK — Rihanna rocked sexy lingerie at Wednesday night's Victoria's Secret fashion show in New York, providing the highlight of the live-music soundtrack and holding her own on the catwalk with some of the world's top models.

And those models even had props, including Adriana Lima's ringmaster wand, Doutzen Kroes' body cage and several pairs of the oversized wings that the retailer has made its signature. It would be a close contest who got the biggest wings: Toni Garrn's giant poppy pair or Miranda Kerr's swan-style feathered pouf. Only Lily Aldridge could boast star-spangled wings that shot out silver sparkles.

Alessandra Ambrosio's orchid-petal wings might have lacked a little grandeur, but she made up for it with a $2.5 million jeweled "floral fantasy bra."

Still, wearing a sheer pink mini that gave glimpses of her bra, Rihanna sang "Fresh Out the Runway" at the end of the corset-and-garter parade and she was the one to grab the audience's biggest applause.

The fashion show has become a pre-holiday season tradition for the retailer. CBS will turn it into a one-hour special, which also had performances from Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, to be shown on Dec. 4.

Lima said she loved opening the show in the ringmaster costume. "The atmosphere of the Victoria's Secret fashion show is electric," she said. "It's so much fun to be able to interact with the audience! What other show will you see Rihanna, Justin Beiber and Bruno Mars on the runway with angels?"

This year's event had a slight twist. It started with an announcer noting that Victoria's Secret and CBS had each made a donation to relief efforts for Superstorm Sandy, and a thank you to the National Guard members who are based out of the Lexington Avenue Armory that has for years been home to the show.

Mostly, though, models are encouraged to smile, ham it up and show off the extra time at the gym that most admit to in the weeks beforehand. "It's highly televised, and you take that into consideration," said model Joan Smalls ahead of the show. "This is kind of not the same as other runways. You have to prepare your body: No. 1 is the wings are heavy, and No. 2 is you have to be comfortable with your body because the camera will pick up on it if you're not comfortable and confident."

There's an emphasis on glitz, skin and dramatic production here, not wearable undergarment trends for typical Victoria's Secret shoppers. It was divided into six sections: Circus, complete with acrobats, contortionists and a sword eater; Dangerous Liaisons; Pink Is Us; Silver Screen Angels; Angels in Bloom; and Calendar Girls, which allowed Bruno Mars to serenade a model for each month of the year.

For his first song, "Beauty and the Beat," Bieber, wearing low-slung white pants and a white leather studded vest, sat alone with his guitarist in the mellowest part of the show. For "As Long As You Love Me," however, he brought in backup dancers and interacted with the models while moving around a giant makeshift pinball machine.

"It's like a dream come true," said Bieber on the pink carpet before the show. "I would rather be here than anywhere in the world."

Top 3 Swimwear Trends for the 2014 Season

It's time to turn out your drawers, because your old, faded one-piece from last summer is just not going to cut it this year. 2014's sexy swimwear trends are anything but shy--think lingerie-inspired looks and cutouts galore--and you need to be in-the-know before things really start to heat up. Ahead, we've got the 7 coolest, boldest and sexiest swimsuit trends to hit the sand this season, as well as all the reasons why you'll want to rock each and every one.

1. Sleek & Sporty-Chic

Volleyball, frisbee, yoga--you're the kind of girl who truly loves to get down and dirty in the sand, and you need a swimsuit that's as functional as it is fabulous. Enter the sporty-chic look. Consisting of streamlined one-pieces and athletically-cut separates with thicker straps and ample coverage, these pieces will keep you comfortable and supported as you work up a sweat. We suggest that you skip the basic black and Baywatch red styles; instead, nothing screams "sporty-chic" like a bright color-blocked pattern.

2. Peek-A-Boo Perfect

This year, bathing suit straps are taking over…literally. 2014's hottest suits are all bound up with bands weaving intricate (and enticing) patterns in every way imaginable. The result? Plenty of peek-a-boo detailing that's seductively sexy! The best thing about this look is that you can be as wild or conservative with it as you want. Go minimal with a bandeau that's solid in the front and strappy in the back, or amp it up with a style that crisscrosses from your collar bone all the way down your torso. Just be sure to go heavy on the sunscreen, so you don't end up with a web of tan lines you could totally do without.

3. Float Away with Flutter & Flounce

While we have yet to meet a ruffle we didn't like, we're really over the moon for the flutter look this season. 2014 is seeing longer, floatier frills adorning nearly every style of suit imaginable, which is perfect, as this trend flatters each and every figure! Busty girls can frame their assets with a plunging v-neck with fluttery flounce, while itty-bitties can be enhanced by bandeau trapeze tops that sway oh-so sweetly in a soft summer breeze. Need a little camouflage around the middle? A one-piece with flutter detail will provide great coverage while still evoking that irresistibly sexy look.

Dreamgirl Fall/Holiday Collection

Dreamgirl International has launched its new collection of sexy and festive fall and holiday styles just in time for the buying season.

“Dreamgirl’s 2013-2014 Fall/Holiday/Valentine’s catalogue is sure to inspire the senses and stimulate fourth quarter Holiday seasonal sales with its tightly merchandised presentation of on-trend fabrications,” cited Dreamgirl Sr. VP of Merchandising and Design, Susan Feldman. “The product line in both our hanging and packaged assortments radiates with the shimmer of satin and the sparkle of sequins and rhinestones, in colors and styles that are sure to be a Holiday success.”

Why I Love Lingerie

Although I gave an introduction about myself and it must be pretty clear how much I love lingerie, I wanted to share with you a little of the why– so here goes & I would love to hear your feedback:

Essentially, what I love about lingerie is how it can express a part of you that has nothing to do with what everyone else sees. True, your choice of undergarment affects the look of the clothes on top of it (imagine a bullet bra vs. your classic Victoria’s Secret push-up) but within the most basic guidelines, you do have the potential for a lot of freedom. Your outerwear does work as a way to express yourself, but it is so often circumscribed by the formality of the occasion, your profession, the weather or what you want other people to think of you, while sexy lingerie is a secret, decided entirely by you.

Lingerie is can be a fantasy and the fact that you usually only share it with your partner (or partners) means that it can be a special part of you, a secret self that totally under your control about when and where you reveal it. They’re called “intimates” for a reason, but I think that if you’re the sort of person whose lingerie means something to them, when you show off your lingerie you’re sharing a little bit of who you are as well as your body.

Of course, comfort is also essential when it comes to lingerie– as the layer closest to your skin, discomfort can ruin you day. Wearing lingerie that fits (especially bras!) is essential for taking care of yourself, so stop worrying about whether your size is “too big” or “too small.” Uncomfortable underwear can ruin your day– don’t let it.

This is not to say that you have to be queer to have lingerie or femininity be a key part of your identity or that lingerie is essential to true femininity– just that, for me, it helps remind me of my independence of what people say and what people think. And all my beautiful, frilly, colorful panties and bras are part of a collection that tells me who I am and what makes me feel enteirely like myself.

Lise Charmel AW13

One of the things I love about trade shows is that I can see the brands I write about in person. It’s a treat to see and feel these amazing garments, spend some time with the passionate and talented people who create lingerie and learn a brand’s story.

Even a short visit leaves me with a deeper, richer understanding about what the brand is about. Earlier this year at Curve, I had a chance to meet with Lise Charmel’s Xavier Zorn. He led me through an amazing selection of Lise Charmel at his booth and I walked away eager to share their AW13 collection with TLJ’s readers.

Founded in the silk neighborhood of Lyon, France, Lise Charmel has been creating lingerie for more than half a century. The brand is focused on fit, comfort and sophisticated design and is a favorite of retailers and consumers around the world. The brand’s AW13 collection — available as immediates — offers several ranges: Floraison Eden, Magie Cashmere, Precieux Tissage, Sublime Assur, Ispahan Grenade and Feerie Palmyre. Each range has a different theme and are all tied together by Lise Charmel’s amazing design, quality and aesthetics.The evocation of a walk in the extraordinary gardens of Babylon before the evening’s festivities. A modern creation of an innovative, floral motif through its style and technique. Creation of cuts that taper silhouettes for a very elegant beauty.

The luxurious evocation of cashmere colours and styles that was one of the elements of multicultural art that inspire the collection. A line with the distinction of radiance and reserve: like the most beautiful women dressed in saris who enchant the landscape of India. Lace motifs resonating with the sophisticated art of ancient Persia, combined with modern fishnets.Sexy lingerie that is at once classy and seductive. Designs of extreme beauty, originality in cuts, considered transparency, a mastery of lines: for a suggestive beauty. With her art of fine embroidered arabesques, Lise Charmel creates a line made of luxurious materials and embroideries, in mahogany, amber and spice-coloured, profound colour patterns, evoking the nature of the gardens of Babylon with dashes of opal light. A luminous beauty and delicate grace of materials alternating satin opacities and suggestive transparencies of the embroidered tulle.

Rebecca Ansah AW13/14

Feminine, erotic and fit for the stage. Rebecca Ansah’s AW13/14 collection takes inspiration from the world of ballet to bring to life nine striking new styles for the fall. Each piece is designed to be worn together and the fashionable combinations are limited only to a customer’s imagination.

Soft detailing and peplum styles are found throughout the new offerings of bodysuits, bras, thongs and sexy dress and the designer added, “Swarovksi crystals have been used to create beautiful show-pieces reminiscent of ballet productions. The contrast of the lace with the solid panel structures are in keeping with our signature aesthetic and yet have an erotic but feminine twist.”

Rebecca sent us some powerful images of the collection in action and we love the combination of styles like her Rosalie bodysuit paired with the olesia harness. Like all of the designer’s collections, AW13/14 is designed and handmade in London.

Romantic Lingerie That’s Perfect for Valentine’s Day

Every February 14, in many places throughout the world, loved ones exchange candy, flowers and gifts all in the name of St. Valentine.

The celebration of St. Valentine, who’s become known as the patron saint to lovers, did not have any romantic connotations until Chaucer’s poetry about “Valentines” in the 14th century. Shakespeare romanticized this in his work, and thereafter Valentine’s Day gained in popularity throughout Britain and the rest of Europe, eventually making its way to America. From its first celebrations with greeting cards to the modern day mix of chocolates, jewelry, and flowers, the Valentine’s Day tradition is still going strong. However, nothing complements the most romantic day of the year more than gorgeous lingerie.

The sexy lingerie celebrates a woman’s sexuality, sensuality, and personality, and shopping for it should never be a “one size fits all” experience. In fact, one of the most important fators in finding the perfect lingerie is knowing the right size. Nothing is more uncomfortable and “unsexy” than ill-fitting lingerie. If you’re not sure of what it is already, take the time to discover your partner’s bra and panty size. However size isn't the only factor to consider. Finding the right style to complement your partner’s personality and fashion sense is just as important as fit.Luxury lingerie is that little something extra when it comes to Valentine’s day gift giving. Since 1996, Bracli has been the go-to brand for thousands of romantics. The combination of luxurious lace and genuine Mallorcan pearls is perfect for more intimate activities, and the new Paris collection has a style for everyone. And with the history and worldwide respect the Bracli label has, you can feel confident that you’ve made a good choice. Choose the gift that keeps on giving the gift of lingerie.

Sexy costumes have gone far beyond the normal sexy cop

This year, Halloween falls smack dab in-between two weekends, giving celebrants twice the opportunity to dress up in their holiday finest.

It also means we're bound to see twice the number of totally unnecessary sexy costumes.In recent years, sexy costumes have gone far beyond the normal sexy cop or cheerleader, and have become increasingly gratuitous- this past weekend we saw a sexy rubber ducky, sexy toddler, and sexy cowardly lion, for instance.

On the large scope of sexy costumes, however, these actually proved to be rather tame. Today during our research, we came across a sexy Osama bin Laden, a Hulk Hogan, and a sexy Barbecue set- um.
