As those of you who follow me on Twitter will know, I've been updating the old lingerie drawer recently. After a long period of singledom I have decided it is time to get back out there and I've been going on a few dates and decided I needed the pants to match my new found attitude. Those Primark cotton numbers just aren't doing it for me and certainly wouldn't do it for whichever lucky chap or chappess I decide to bestow my charms upon.
I've had a couple of little sprees at both good old M&S and the wonderful Lulu and Lush (I'll be talking more about this little gem of a shop in a coming post) but, on reading my colleagues (not mine honest) copy of "Closer" magazine today I spotted another range I am just going to have to take a gander at. the lovely and delightfully offbeat Paloma Faith has designed a range of silky vintage style pretties for La Senza, in aid of Breast Cancer Care. This girl knows her vintage, and from the pictures I've seen the range shows that. I also love the choice of colour, green being a somewhat unusual choice for lingerie. And also, as a donation is made to charity with each purchase this is the kind of guilt free shopping I adore.
As the lady herself states:
"I'm really excited about my range of lingerie that I've designed for Breast Cancer Care this year. I've gone for a luxurious 1940s style and I can't wait for you all to see it! It's going to hit La Senza stores in October and every penny we raise will be used to help people affected by breast cancer. My Mum had breast cancer so this is a cause I am very passionate about. Without Breast Cancer Care some women would have nowhere to turn to. With one person diagnosed with breast cancer every 10 minutes, many of us will sadly know of someone dealing with the disease right now. Breast Cancer Care will use the money we raise together to ensure none of them face it alone."
Hmmmm....I am definitely going to have to get the set in green and the knickers in the black for wearing with my girdle.
I just hope I find someone to show them off to soon. ;-)
Oh nice! When my finances are a bit more settled I want to get a pair of these http://www.etsy.com/listing/53971768/bon-bon-womens-high-rise-french-knickers - so cute!
ReplyDeleteyou know, I spotted those on etsy just last night myself. they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteooo are they in stores now? I might just have to grab some of them before I move!
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that you are getting back to your old self and getting back out there on the dating game, the right underwear always feels so right.
ReplyDeleteI love that this is about "knickers"! We tend to refer to them as panties but I do like knickers more :D ..I'm with foodycat, my finances have told me no shopping for a little while..maybe I can afford one tiny inexpensive item...but grr..when I buy - knickers! - I wanna spend a few hundred bucks and really have at it!
ReplyDeleteOooh, the Paloma Faith stuff looks nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd green! My little red headed heart goes pitter pat!
You 'bestowing my charms' made me giggle. I do hope you find someone lucky enough to bestow your charms and Paloma Faith knickers on soon :-) x
ReplyDeleteOooh the green! Want! I have some emerald lingere from Kiss Me Deadly, wonder if those tap pants would match...
ReplyDeleteThese look fab! And you just *HAVE* to buy them if it's for charity...
