Do You Want to Get Noticed this New Year's Eve? Let Secret Drawers Help You Dress to Impress!

Now that everyone's tummy is fully of turkey and the armfuls of crinkled, wrapping paper are in the recycle bin, people turn their thoughts to New Year's Eve -- New Year's Eve is only days away, you know. And even though you might have picked out the perfect outfit that will sparkle and shine in any room, that outfit just isn't complete without a visit to Secret Drawers Lingerie.

Why?

Well that's simple. We have the undergarments that are going to make your outside look its best as you dress from the inside out.

We have talked and talked about the importance of the right bra and how the wrong bra can actually make you look 10 pounds heavier! But there is more to holiday dressing than the bra that you choose to wear.

For example, take Spanx. We recently got in an array of new pieces in a lighter control that are perfect in addition to our existing pieces with stronger support. No matter what type of support you choose, these control pieces will give you a nip and tuck without the need for an appointment or a knife. Get rid of those bulges, lines, and dreaded back fat with pieces that will cover you from chest to hemline.

And no dress is complete without the perfect pantyhose to set off the look. Whether you are looking for flirty and fun, sophisticated and unique or just downright sexy, we have them all.

In short, you haven't got a completed look until you decide on your foundation garments. They are going to give you the best lines, and look, of the year.

Get Yourself a Little Something This Christmas

Now that you've bought (hopefully) everyone else's gifts, have you considered getting yourself a little something this Christmas? Maybe you need a new colour of Hanky Panky thong (scarlet red for Christmas?) or maybe a slinky look that you can pop into his stocking might work for you. Or, of course, you can consider yourself planted firmly on the nice list by getting yourself a new, fashionable bra or comfy, lounge-worthy pajamas. Or consider the fine filigree top as shown here or in a camisole -- that should light up under that tree.

And if you still need a little something for him, try Naked. Once a man goes Naked, he often never goes back to those old, unfashionable undies. 

In short, we have all your favorites and your favorites-to-be so pop in and fill your own stocking with what you really want this year.

Chantelle's Graphic Bra in Graphite

Graphite, as a colour, is in this winter, and luckily for all, Chantelle has brought out a piece that will flatter and fit a wide range of sizes and shapes.

Today we introduce C Graphique by Chantelle. This is a three-quarter, or demi, bra with medium coverage. This means it's going to give you lift and support but also great cleavage. The C Graphique cups are knit and non-padded. This stunner has an overlapping graphic pattern on the bottom of the cups with a classic grey fabric on top. It's set off by a nude edging and a glowing Chantelle emblem at the breastbone.

Chantelle's C Graphique will fit a wide variety of shapes thanks to a subtle stretch in the top of the cups. This design is available right now in sizes 34-40, cups B-G. Try on this French design to see the rounded and uplifted shape it will give you.

How Lingerie Can Ease Your (and His) Holiday Stress

At Secret Drawers Lingerie, we love the holiday season. We love the Christmas trees, the holiday spirit and all the merriment it brings. The one thing that’s not so great about it, though, is the stress some people feel about fulfilling all the items on their Christmas lists. Luckily, we’re here to help you with that.

1. Make a “loves” list for your guy. We all know that the men in our lives can sometimes have trouble picking out the perfect gift – so why not help them out by registering what you love with us at Secret Drawers Lingerie? We’re happy to keep a gift registry on file that includes what you love and your sizing so that your partner can just pop by and pick what tickles his fancy.
2. Give lingerie to your man. True, we generally think about our own stockings stuffed with frilly underthings for Christmas but I suspect that he would be just as happy seeing those items in a package for him with the promise of playful times to come.
3. Don’t forget to get Naked. While we tend to think about lingerie for women over the holiday season, don’t forget, he deserves superior underthings too. Once men try our Italian microfiber Naked line, many can’t go back to anything less.
4. Shop now! We hate to put pressure on you, but the fact is, selection and sizes do go quickly during this time of year so coming by sooner is much better than later. If you wait until a last minute shop we just might not have what you love. (And keep in mind, it’s too close to Christmas to have anything ordered in.)

And one more holiday shopping tip: if you’re looking to spruce up your holiday look, try a new pair of patterned tights. Bring your dress with you so you can see what your newly completed look will look like. And if you need control pieces like Spanx? Then it’s really critical to bring your dress with you. We have so many types of control pieces that finding what makes you look your very best requires trying things on under your, specific garment. And with that, we’d like to simply wish you all a glorious holiday season and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Wrap Yourself in a Plush Hug of a Robe

We have mentioned Ringella before -- specifically Ringella pjs. We noted that these pajamas are a joy to wear due to their softest jersey. It should not surprise, then, that wearing a Ringella robe is also an exquisite experience.

This Ringella robe is like wearing a very, plush hug, It's champagne both in experience and colour. Its texture lends to its ability to keep you warm and dry after a bath or cozy around the house.

Ringella robes are available in the above as well as lilac and aqua. Robes by Ringella come in sizes S-XL. Come in and see this perfect Christmas present today.

New Chantelle - The Vendome - Celebrates a Gemstone Theme

Chantelle's pieces are designed in France, and we can definitely see the hand of the French at work. They often provide classic lines with modern themes as seen in today's feature: the Vendome. The Vendome, by Chantelle, provides full coverage and a great uplift in a wide range of sizes all while celebrating a modern take on the gemstone.

This Chantelle piece is being offered in ultra nude, a colour that will disappear under even light-coloured fabrics for most. It is available in sizes 34-44, cups B-H, making it perfect for almost anyone looking for a fashionable look that supports and defines.

We love the details the Vendome offers like embroidered, striking straps, a fun and unique pattern on the cup and a small jewel at the breastbone. Of course, in order to truly appreciate the way this design makes you look and feel, you have to wear it, so stop by today and give it a try.

bSoft PJs and Nightshirts and Robes , Oh My!

Now is the time. Now is the time to come into Secret Drawers Lingerie and get your pjs, nightshirts and robes to fulfill all your holiday needs. Why now? Well, that's easy; because shortly, we tend to experience a run on sleepwear and your choices will be limited accordingly.

We have previously mentioned Ringella pjs and Diamond Tea and Kenan robes and today we add bSoft to that collection of lines.

bSoft is unique in that it is made from a bamboo-cotton flannel (70% bamboo). Bamboo is a great choice for people looking to minimize their impact on the planet as it's fully biodegradable and made from a renewable resource. And bamboo is known to wick moisture away from the body keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter making bSoft an investment in your comfort all year long.

This bSoft sleepwear collection has coordinating pjs, robes and nightshirts available in a variety of patterns of which this fleur de lis design is only one. The bamboo in these bSoft pieces is comparable to a blend of cashmere and silk. But don't take our word for it -- come in and feel it for yourself! bSoft nightshirts are approximately 36 inches long and have a pocket under the left shoulder.

Diamond Tea Robes Will Keep You Warm This Winter

Those in the know seek out Diamond Tea robes. And it seems like more people are getting in the know every year as we receive more and more inquiries about the Diamond Tea brand.

Why are people looking so hard for Diamond Tea? Well, this exclusive line is of unparallelled quality and their unique designs catch the eye of many.

Today's Diamond Tea design is of a zip-up, velour robe in a red, floral pattern. This type of robe will keep you toasty warm around the house and is easy to put on and wear thanks to its zipper in the front. This is a way of adding easy luxury to your collection of loungewear.

Find this, and other, Diamond Tea robes in-store in sizes S-XL.

Houndstooth Tights by Trasparenze

We're pleased to carry Italian-produced Trasparenze legwear. These pieces are not your average pantyhose. When you wear Trasparenze, you make a statement.

Today's design is the Conramusa by Trasparenze.

This new arrival is a winter warming tight. It's perfect now that the breeze has begun to blow. You'll notice a high-fashion houndstooth look on the leg to above the knee, changing to a smaller houndstooth pattern topped with a black panty with a comfort waistband. These tights are 70% cotton, 28% nylon and 2% elastic.

Visit us in-store to see all the variety of legwear we have to offer this season. Find tights, stockings, pantyhose, over-the-knee, legwarmers and more.

An All-New Line of PJs - Ringella

This holiday season we're bringing in a new line of pajamas. We're bringing in Ringella, as it has an excellent balance of fashion, quality and price that we think you'll love.

Today's featured Ringella pjs are a v-neck design. These pajamas are made from a soft jersey, meaning they stretch, but are of premier quality so they keep their shape, wash after wash. A cute extra feature is the pockets on either side of the striped pants.

Watch this space for more on Ringella as we get closer to the holiday season. And, don't forget, come in soon to get your pick of styles so what you see under the tree is exactly what you want.

Felina Makes an Impulse You'll Enjoy

Looking to brighten up your underwear drawer with a little bright white? We think the stylized flames on the Felina Impulse will definitely liven things up.

The Impulse by Felina is unique in that it offers both horizontal and vertical stretch, which is perfect as no woman has perfectly identical breasts. This feature provides a better fit for all shapes and sizes.

This Felina bra has been brought in specifically for the larger-bosomed woman -- we're carrying it in sizes 40-48, cups D-H. It's a gorgeous all-lace look that's both comfortable and fashionable.

Secret Drawers Lingerie Closed Tomorrow and Saturday for Renovations

Well, like many of you, we like to update our style from time to time and this weekend is our time to do it. We're closing Friday and Saturday this week and will open after Thanksgiving (Tuesday) next week with a fresh new hue.

We're sorry for the inconvenience but we do hope you'll come in and see the work once it's done.

New 3/4 Robe in Graphite

While some people don't like to be reminded of it, winter is well on it's way. As we enjoy the last vestiges of the warm weather, we should probably all also be pulling out our woolies.

But, to make things feel a little easier, we suggest you also bring out your cozy robes that may have been too toasty for the summer. These can be enjoyed straight out of the shower or around the house. We carry several lines of robes including the (nearly infamous) Diamond Tea, but today's offering is from Kenan's Frou Frou collection: it's a 3/4 robe in graphite.

It may be hard to ferret from the image, but this robe actually has 3/4 sleeves along with a 3/4 length. This is perfect for many women who find the wide cuffs on robes a bother -- these won't get in the way. Also, if you've found that robes are often cut for someone taller than you, this one is guaranteed not to drag along the floor.

This robe is a cotton and model blend, making it easy care  as well as absorbent after a bath. Find this Kenan Frou Frou piece in sizes up to 1X.

The Secret Slimmer You Need for Your Holiday Party Look

Lingerie is often devoted to making you look great when you're not wearing that fancy cocktail frock, but the fact of the matter is, at Secret Drawers Lingerie, we carry pieces that will make you look great in your clothes too. Most people have heard of the line Spanx, but you might not be aware of everything it has to offer.

Of course, we carry standard Spanx pieces like the shorts, cami and high-waisted pieces but we also carry the full slip, featured on the right, and this piece offers some distinct advantages under a dress.

A slip makes the most sense under a dress for the smoothest silhouette, but this slip is special because it is open-busted -- with it, you can wear your own bra. Gone are the days where to achieve a smooth form you had to flatten your bosom. Now, you can tighten and tone and still keep all your womanly curves.

This open-busted Spanx is their most popular silhouette and when you see how it makes you look in your favorite frock, you can see why. Also note, this piece has built-in underwear closed with hook and eyes and a silicone strip at the hem to keep it from rising.

Try this super-sleek look today. And don't forget to bring your party dress with you when you do it so you can see exactly how it will improve your look.

Stunning Simone Pérèle - in Velvet

Simone Pérèle is known at Secret Drawers Lingerie for its superior quality and design. In fact, they often lead the way when it comes to lingerie trends. What we're seeing this season by Simone Pérèle, is a fresh take on lingerie that includes velvet detailing.

The Velvet, by Simone Pérèle, marries evanescent lace with Swiss-dotted micro-fishnet and velvet accoutrement. The velvet trim makes up the straps, lower edge and the bow at the breastbone.

Pair this bra with its matching retro-brief, made up primarily of the stunning, eyelash lace with a triangle detail on the back that is outlined in velvet and topped off with a bow. Simone Pérèle's Velvet is available in sizes 32-38, cups B-D.

Go to the Opera with Chantelle

Some women look to minimize their cleavage through lingerie, but for those looking to maximize it, we have the Opera, by Chantelle. This design not only makes the most of your bosom, but it also has gold thread woven throughout the floral leaves lace for an extra touch of va va voom.

This demi cup style by Chantelle also has gold hardware detailing at the breastbone and on the straps, which split near the cup into three. And unlike so many other bras, Chantelle treats the band just as fashionably as the cup, as the back is a lycra fishnet lace.

We are carrying this high-style piece in sizes 32-38, cups C-F. The shorty and the thong bottoms are also available and equally stunning.

Minimalist Sleepwear as Soft as Skin

Women are always looking for comfortable sleepwear. Of course, "comfortable sleepwear" means different things to different people, but one of the things it pretty much always means is fabric that is soft to the touch and today we bring you a new line: Skin. Skin definitely fits that bill.

The skin pieces we are featuring today are the Sexy Slip (seen right) and its sister piece, the Sexy Gown (not shown). You'll find the slip in a blueish pink called powder and the long gown in aubergine.

Skin pieces are made from a super-soft, stretch, double-layer jersey making them perfect, breathable pieces for sleep or for around the house. They are minimalist with an essence of zen.

And wearing Skin isn't just a statement about fashion but it's also a statement about sustainability as Skin works to create a holistic product that reflects the company's vision of environmental responsibility and social fairness.

Find the slip, gown, and other Skin pieces in-store now in sizes S-XL.

Absolue Simone Pérèle in Flamenco Pink

Today's feature piece is truly striking: it's the Absolue by Simone Pérèle and I think we can easily say it's absolutely stunning.

The Absolue by Simone Pérèle has many unique design features. You'll find lux's lace and graphic, Italian pleating on the Absolute as well as a shape that will maximize the beauty of your décolleté,

You'll find this flamenco pink piece in sizes 32-38, cups C-E. Matching panties are also available to complete this high-fashion look.

The Push-Up in Plumberry

A couple of weeks ago, we introduced you to The Sweetest Sin chemise by Blush. We featured this piece in plumberry. Well, what we didn't mention, is that there is a matching push-up bra and thong available, also in plumberry.

For sinful cleavage and bust definition, do check out this bra by Blush. This bra has molded push-up pads for enhanced cleavage and features Blush's signature floral lace. This piece has beautiful details like a scalloped edge and an ombré bow at the breastbone.

We're carrying the Blush plumberry push-up bra in sizes 32-38, cups A-D and the matching thong in sizes S-XL.

Kenan Shows Her Unique, Sultry Side

Are you looking for a robe that's long and lovely? Maybe something that's a little sultry? Boy, does Kenan have you covered today.

Today's feature is the Kimora robe which we're carrying in both black and red. This is a striking piece with unique details like the slits on the arms and a keyhole detail in the back. This robe is slightly gauzy, giving a hint of what's underneath without complete exposure.

The Kimora robe by Kenan is in silk charmeuse -- an incredible, barely-there fabric with a satin weave -- with slippery silk satin for the cuffs, belt and shoulders. This piece is perfect for the woman looking for sex appeal without the slightest hint of vulgarity or someone who simply wants to feel sexy everyday.

Blush's Sweetest Sin

At Secret Drawers Lingerie we consider lingerie the farthest thing from a sin, but what you do while you're in it? Well, that might be considered a sweet sin.

At least, that's what lingerie-maker Blush seems to be suggesting with their latest design: Sweetest Sin in plumberry. This breathtaking chemise is 31 inches long and has a one-quarter underwire for subtle lift and shaping. The cups are lined and trimmed in scalloped lace. There is a hook and eye closure at the back and adjustable straps for the perfect fit. There is also an alluring keyhole in the back for additional sizzle.

Take Blush's Sweetest Sin chemise home and charm someone into enjoying the Sweetest Sin with you.

For the Curvacious Woman - A Silk Gown

Do you ever walk into a store and find that there's nothing in your size? Well, you won't have that problem at Secret Drawers Lingerie. We believe that women of all sizes are beautiful and deserve to feel their sexy best every day. That's why we carry gorgeous pieces from size XS -- XXXL.

Today, we're featuring a silk, print gown by Kenan specifically for the curvacious woman. In fact, we're only carrying it in size XL. The floral design and lace at the bust accentuate a woman's shape while flatteringly skimming the tummy and hips.

As usual, Kenan has used only top quality silk and it must be worn to be believed. Pop in today to try it on.

The Only Smoking that Looks Good on You

At Secret Drawers Lingerie we don't smoke -- who wants to get that awful smell all over their beautiful, French delicates? However a new piece this week by Prima Donna has us reevaluating the beauty of Smoking.

The Smoking by Prima Donna Twist is a sexy, new design with masculine overtones yet with feminine detailing. The details on the Smoking line include shiny, satin inserts, retro bows and Swarovski crystals on the straps. A woven pattern with dots and pinstripes are featured on the cups.

We're carrying the Prima Donna Twist Smoking in sizes 34-38, cups C-F. And don't forget to pick up the matching briefs too, in sizes M-XL.

Frou Frou and Kenan Bring You a New Rose Design

Today we're featuring a new design by Frou Frou (by Kenan) for those of you looking for cool, 100% cotton sleepwaear. This new pattern is called the cabbage rose and we're offering it in both a pajama and a gown style.

The cabbage rose pjs by Frou Frou are cute and fun with a pair of lovebirds on the ivory top. This set is perfect for lounging around the house as well as sleeping in thanks to their cotton that will stretch any way you do. The contrasting tie at the waist is another youthful detail.

The lower cabbage rose design is for those who prefer a gown. This three-quarter length gown with a v-neck will stretch, breathe and do everything you need for a comfy, everyday piece.

Both pieces work well for a range of ages and body types. Find both styles in sizes S- XL in-store now.

And watch this space for more, new Kenan soon including silk, and micro fleece delicates and robes.

Simone Pérèle's Latest: The Délice - A True Delight

Today we're featuring Simone Pérèle's striking new design: the Délice. "Délice" translates to "delight" in English and we think this fits perfectly.

According to Simone Pérèle, Délice is "a poetic line where delicate flowers blend with wild grass in an exclusive embroidery." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

The Délice by Simone Pérèle is being offered in classic white in sizes 38-40, cups C-G. We think you'll love the split shoulder straps and the embroidery detail included on the cups, band and straps.

The Prima Donna Symphony Now Rises in a Golden Shadow

Above is Huit 8's Au Naturel in scarlet. This is the colour we originally got in but now we're also offering it in navy blue. This bra is special in that it's a convertible bra -- so you can wear it with standard straps or with the straps crossed over in the back to allow for a racer-cut top.

Prima Donna is Divine

We probably shouldn't throw around the word, "divine," but today, we just have no choice as this new design by Prima Donna is called, quite realistically, Divine.

We've been eagerly awaiting the Divine's arrival and we're glad to say it has been worth the wait. The Divine, by Prima Donna, is a molded, non-padded cup that is exquisitely embroidered in a floral and leaf motif. The woven tulle cup will work best for women with a larger bosom.

We have the Divine in sizes 36-42, cups C-H and are carrying both the full and rio brief  bottoms. The bottoms are particularly fetching with tulle side panels and an embroidered flower set off center.

Stunning New Chemise that Embraces Lace

Today we have a bit of a special item. It's special because it's the first chemise we are carrying by Wacoal - and boy, is it a looker. It's the Embrace Lace^TM chemise by Wacoal in white and in black with white detailing (shown).

The Wacoal Embrace Lace^TM is stunning with its mesh body and lace bodice and extra-wide hem. The cut of the lace flatters a woman's curves and is just see-through enough to be sultry while still leaving the details to the imagination.

This new Wacoal chemise has adjustable straps and has a finished length of 32 inches. Try the all-white version for the perfect fit on your wedding night.

We Think You'll Be Crazy in Love with this New Prima Donna

I admit, we've taken a bit of an hiatus here from Underwear Matters. But don't worry, that only means we've had extra time to scope out some beautiful, new lingerie finds that will keep you looking your best.

Today's addition is in the fashion colour emerald - it's the Crazy in Love by Prima Donna. This new line is specially designed to flatter and support the larger breast and is available in sizes 34-40, cups D-F.

The Prima Donna Crazy in Love is unique, not only in colour but also in its use of ribbon. This ribbon can be found in bows at the breastbone and on the straps. Also note the tulle inserts in this sexy, boudoir look.

We are also carrying the matching briefs in M-XL to complete this corset-inspired design.

Rosa Faia Makes You the Canvas onto Which Modern Brushstrokes are Made

Are you looking for something a little different? Maybe you've got enough black, white and nude but summer brights aren't your thing? Maybe today's feature, the Malia by Rosa Faia, is for you.

Rosa Faia's Malia is new in this week. It's a classic shape with a modern pattern that resembles brushstrokes of grey on platinum. The way the two-tome design is laid out, it flatters the shape of the breast and, of course, the shape of the woman wearing it.

Find the new Malia by Rosa Faia in sizes 32-40, cups A-E. And, of course, pick up the matching brief or thong in sizes S-XXL.

What Every Bride Needs to Know about Lingerie for the Big Day

Every bride wants to look her best at her wedding, and lingerie can help you achieve that, if you know what you’re doing.

The most important thing to know is that you should have two lingerie outfits for the big day: one for under the dress and one for the evening’s escapades. This is because the lingerie that will help you look your best in the dress is not the same as that which helps you look your best out of your dress.

For under the dress, consider shapewear like Spanx. Those are the pieces that are going to nip and tuck and create a smooth silhouette. They’re not necessarily beautiful, but they certainly are effective. When you’re selecting these pieces, keep in mind that your dress may already provide much of the support you need as many dresses now come with built-in corsets and boning. The best thing you can do is bring your dress with you for your lingerie fitting. Then you’ll really know what will work best. And don't forget to leave yourself plenty of time as some special pieces may have to be ordered in.

Then be prepared to change into something svelter for after the wedding. Depending on your preference, this could be a babydoll that skims your curves or a chemise and thong set that accentuates your shape.

One final tip: pick up some Body Tape when you drop by - it's the fashion world's duct tape. It affixes cloth to skin to make sure that you neckline never has a wardrobe malfunction or even cloth to cloth to fix a fallen hem at the last minute. It's a must-have for last minute fixes and for that polished look.

Personalized service at Secret Drawers Lingerie can point out many options for both outfits that will make you look and feel like your best self on a day, and night, you will remember forever.

Sleep Shorts for Summer

Luckily, and not a moment too soon, the sun has decided to make a warming appearance in our little corner of the world. With it you might think of sunscreen, days at the beach or margaritas on the patio in the evening. And when it comes time to slumber, you might think of this: "I'm hot!"

At Secret Drawers Lingerie we can't supply you with sunscreen and you're on your own on the margaritas but we can help you stay cool under the covers with today's featured product: the blue wisteria shorty by BedHead.

We sell a lot of BedHead throughout the year because nothing matches its quality. It's 100% superior quality cotton that never pills, stretches or fades. One pair of these pjs and you'll be sleeping with a smile for seasons to come.

Today's design, new in now, is the BedHead blue wisteria shorty. This adorable pajama set is fully piped, has pearlized buttons and has a hybrid drawstring and elastic waist for comfort and fit. Its cheery summer print was exclusively designed by BedHead founder, Claire Bertrand. We think you'll find that this sleep set makes a great gift or travel companion. Come in and see why today.

Embroidered Hanky Panky for the Bride

The bride is always looking for that perfect something for the wedding night. Might we suggest you take a look at Hanky Panky? You have many styles to choose from and today's is the Embroidered Mesh Babydoll with matching g-string.

Of course, the bride is usually looking for white, and this semi-opaque look is happy to oblige, but Hanky Panky kicks it up a notch by also including vibrant pink, floral embroidery. This babydoll flutters down each side of the body in a flattering drape.

Find this new Hanky Panky piece in sizes small-large in store. And don't forget to check out your other wedding essentials like garter belts, stockings, Spanx and other undergarments.

Colour of the Season - Coral

You might have noticed a bright, new colour making its way into our drawers lately - coral. Coral is the colour of summer 2014.

And today's offering is one of our best-selling bras - the Wacoal Awareness bra - in calypso coral. This is an excellent example of taking a classic winner and tweaking it with au courant style.

You'll find this new Wacoal Awareness bra in a wide range of sizes in-store now. And make sure to check out the matching briefs to bring your drawers completely up-to-date.

Hanky Panky Babydoll in Periwinkle Silk

Normally, when we talk Hanky Panky, we're talking about their signature lace. And Hanky Panky's lace is what so many people love about their designs but their silk chiffon isn't so bad either.

Today we introduce the Bella Blue Enchanted Babydoll and G-String by Hanky Panky. This piece does include Hanky Panky's signature lace but that lace takes a backseat to silk and embroidery. All together, this creates a glamorous and romantic look with the g-string's outline suggestively visible through the transparent babydoll.

A New Take on the Look of Lace by Marie Jo

Lace and embroidery are hot, hot, hot this summer and these details inspired the Flynn, by Marie Jo L'Aventure. The Flynn is a contemporary take on these details and it certainly isn't going to be confused with your grandmother's underthings.

The Flynn is available in flamingo - a hip colour that will definitely stand out in your drawers and goes well with pastels. Marie Jo calls this the "perfect t-shirt bra" so if you're looking for something that will be invisible under your thin, summer fabrics, this is the one for you.

The Marie Jo L'Aventure Flynn is available in sizes 34-38, cups A-D. And just as shown in the picture, we have the matching briefs available too, in sizes M-XL.

Yellow Daisies for Spring and for Your Drawers

You may remember the Avero by Marie Jo. You may remember it because it's so striking and so popular here at Secret Drawers Lingerie. It's the design with such a lovely strap, you don't want to hide it behind a modest neckline.

Today we are pleased to announce that Marie Jo's Avero is now available in sol - or sunshine - yellow. Unlike some Avero designs, this one features a two colour design rather than the tone-on-tone, which is more classic.

Find the Avero by Marie Jo in 34-36, cups B-D. And, of course, you have to pick up the matching bottoms in sizes medium-large. Come in and get that splash of colour to brighten your spring today.

Implicitly Stunning by Simone Pérèle

Simone Pérèle brings us some of our hottest designs - and by hot, we don't just mean current and fashionable, we mean hot as in oo la la. Today we're featuring the Implicite line by Simone Pérèle which really goes to prove our point.

Featured here is the Talisman design bra. It's modern and sexy with clean lines and sleek details. The matching thong is stunning with similar lines and a cut-out in the back.

We're testing out the Implicite line by Simone Pérèle and so this piece is only available in-store in sizes 34-36, cups A-B in both black and white. But don't worry, if you love it as much as we suspect you will, we'll be widening the range in the future.
