Retro Lingerie - It's New!???

I must admit that I was confused by the whole retro/vintage thing; what's the difference?

Well, as I found out there is a big difference

Retro Lingerie - This is new lingerie based on an old style.

Vintage Lingerie - Is the old girdle that your grandmother had, which is now being sold for an obscene amount!

But what makes it vintage? My mum used to say "that's an antique" every time she spoke about the record player that was 12 years old.

You see, an item passes through several phases in it's life:
  • Modern - Slap-bang up-to-date!
  • Old fashioned - Out of style with it's modern surroundings
  • Vintage - 25 years +
  • Antique - 50 years +
Retro can, of course, apply to any of these (except the modern ;)



Retro underwear, vintage style lingerie, or however you want to class it, is going to be very big next season.

Should you buy it?

The short answer is - Do you like it?
If you do, then "fill your boots!"

Check out Blush's New Retro Lingerie department; I think you might like it.

Enjoy!

Style, Class & All Stops In between!

Hi all,

Picture this scenario: I arrive home one Saturday evening, with a small brown paper bag clutched in my eager little hands.

"Well, dear, you will never guess what stunning lingerie I found for you today. I bought it from that nice chap on the market. He said they were very slight seconds, but if you were careful then the stitching should hold for ages."

I then produce a pair of red undies from the bag; the cheapest red in history!

The hours pass by & eventually I regain consciousness - the doctor says that I should be back on my feet in a week or two...

Nope! I always had the good sense to avoid such things; even when I was very young! Yet these things do not come easy to a man. There but for the grace of God, (I think is the correct term).

So what is style, class & sexiness?

It's a look, a sound, a movement. It's an image, a hint, a gesture. It's hard to describe that's for sure! But let's look deeper...

Q. Who has style?
A. Angelina Jolie!
But as Lara Croft, t-shirt & shorts are not stylish?

Q. Who has Class?
A. Helena Bonham Carter!
So what about Planet of the Apes?

Q. Who is sexy?
A. Helen Mirren!
Even when she played the Queen?

Even the classiest, sexiest woman can look drab (Lara Croft an exception).



Style in lingerie is as diverse as the women that wear it. Choose something for your partner; this maybe based on a photo you've seen somewhere, but stay realistic; what suits Britney may not suit your slightly more ample spouse.

This wonderfully stylish set is from Prima Donna Lingerie

Choose colour wisely, does she have a colour that everyone says really suits her? As a general rule avoid green underwear (unless it's her favourite). Black is a safe colour & very stylish.

Pick a style that flatters her build & shape - If she is a 32AAA then buying a quarter-cup bra is just not going to work. However, if you buy her a silk cami-top, or silk & lace chemise then you're cooking!

Tal, talk, talking - yes sometimes it doesn't come easy! Talk to her (no, not in the middle of Tesco) Does she have a particular item that she has always wanted. Ask her what she thinks makes stylish, classy underwear. It may be a matching bra, brief & suspender set, nightdress & negligee, or maybe a simple black thong.

Discover her style, buy her classy underwear that suits her & what results is a confident, sexy woman.

Enjoy!

Blush Lingerie - sexy lingerie

Intro

Hi all,

My name's Dave. I've been involved in lingerie for over ten years now; no, not like that; my wife owns Blush Lingerie. It's been an exciting time, but I'm always trapped in the back room of the shop; working on databases or updating the website, I never get chance to speak to customers (probably for the best really).

Over the past two years I have written a series of articles designed to help men buy lingerie for their partners. There's no secret to getting it right, but a little guidance is a great help ;)

This Blog is a shorter, more personal version of those articles, kept right up-to-date as new stuff comes out, or if some poor guy needs help in telling a thong from a rio.

Girls if you stumble upon this Blog, then get your guy to read it; it could just open up a whole new wardrobe for you.

Read & enjoy!
