Christmas is full of giving and thinking of others – so when the day is over, make it all about you…

All Is Quiet

Christies Red Silk

Whatever you do on Christmas day, at some point your guests will have all left or you will have returned home, and (once the children are tucked up) you will notice the peaceful and welcoming sound of quiet. It’s precisely at this time when you can relax after a fun but full day – and remember that beautiful something you have tucked away…

Close The Door

Myla Lola Boudoir

Once you close the door it’s up to you: depending on your preference for lingerie, you can transform yourself into anything you want. Whether you’re a romantic or you love to flirt or flaunt, you’ll find something to fulfill your Christmas lingerie dreams – and it can be as cheeky as you want it to be. We love Myla’s Lola Boudoir (above) for it’s suggestive naughtiness: it’s cute, fun and as luxurious as only Myla can be.

Enjoy Yourself!

Elixir Hot Couture

When it comes to choosing a special set of lingerie it’s worth remembering: even though it’s all about enjoyment, we still like lingerie to fit well. Choose a set that above all makes you feel comfortable and if you need it, choose something that supports the girls. Elixir are wowing us this season with their Hot Couture set (above) and we think this will be perfect for that last dance of the night…

Aubade Caresse Sensuelle Camisole Set

We’ve just spotted a couple of ‘must-have’ pieces at luxury online boutique, Silk Storm, and have engraved them on our wishlist. The Caresse Sensuelle Camisole set comes from Aubade’s new and refined loungewear collection, which has un petit peu more than we’ve seen from Aubade’s recent collections. Made in silk, the camisole and briefs £115, have that delightful understated sexiness the French are so adept at getting right: it’s the sheer fabric, the plunging neckline and the bows which all add up to deserve its perfectly sexy name ‘Caresse Sensuelle‘.

Girardi – Hot Italian Legwear

Over to Italy where sexy elegance is de rigeur, and hot legwear the height of fashion..
We adore chic legwear and Girardi has pushed our buttons ever since we spotted their sexy knee high socks; we’re now back in danger zone with Girardi’s Luxe hold ups with white lace and darn cute bow tops, which at £25 are at the top of (this week’s) wishlist!

You can see more of Girardi’s legwear, including the gorgeous Skirted Suspender Tights with diamante detail £29, at Silk Storm.

Knickers readers get 10% off everything in stock at Silk Storm, just use promotion code: KNICKERS at checkout.  This offer is valid until Feb. 14th 2009.

If you’re looking to buy lingerie to make your partner swoon as well as appeal to her practical side, we’ve got just the thing for you..

The Aubade Precieux Talisman at Silk Storm

Silk Storm is always a great first stop when it comes to buying something special: a combination of romantic and sophisticated lingerie that actually ‘works’, Silk Storm always has the latest collections on offer. Their latest arrival is the gorgeous Aubade…

The French treasure, Aubade, is the type of lingerie we used to keep for special occasions: it’s beautifully made and certainly not suitable for shoving in the washing machine along with your regular, cotton undies. Luckily, we’re starting to realise ‘luxury’ lingerie like Aubade is not just for those special evenings in: their bras are well-fitting, their half-cup bra gives a shape no other bra has yet managed to do (for me), and their knickers actually cover the bits you would like to have covered – what more could you ask for!

The Gorgeous Aubade Art Nouveau Chemise

For a large brand, Aubade still retains an exclusive, ’boutique’ feel to it, and always includes super sexy pieces alongside more ‘practical’ lingerie. The gorgeous Art Nouveau Chemise from the current collection will set you back £79.99, which isn’t bad considering the quality and durability of Aubade. Much as we adore ‘frivolous’ lingerie, we also love every day lingerie and if you’re looking for a two-in-one kind of gift, Aubade is practically perfect!

The New Aubade Collection at Silk Storm is available now, prices start from around £45. Knickers readers can enjoy 10% off until the 14th February, just use the discount code KNICKERS and if you place your order at Silk Storm before the 14th February and you can also enjoy free delivery!

If you’re in need of a bit of retail therapy, check out this season’s collections at the gorgeous online boutique, Silk Storm; among the collections, which include ravishing swimwear by Aubade and Valery, the new Oro Collection by Cotton Club had us swooning the most!

Cotton Club’s Oro Liberty Top and Shorties

We’ve been swept away by the pure beauty of this Oro Liberty set £150; feminine, Italian elegance at its best, the gorgeous, embroidered fabric is layered, evoking thoughts of the romantic, ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ (without the comedy). The shorties are utterly stunning with the same sheer fabric, but with a lace ‘thong’ back to them, creating an uber-luxurious combination, we are absolutely loving!

Cotton Club’s Oro Nightdress

We adore Cotton Club’s eclectic mix of virginal and vixen pieces in this collection; this Oro Nightdress £145 couldn’t be more different from the ‘innocence’ of the Liberty set. With a cut away back and balconette cups, this is deep, dark sexiness with astonishing sumptuousness; thigh length, it is sophisticated, erotic, and glamorous – what more can we say!

We love Sleepwear and what better way to indulge ourselves than to do a series about it!
We’re kicking off today with some seriously glamorous nightgowns: beautifully crafted lace, silk and flowing fabric, these gowns are very much suited to the Romantic; here they are in all their glamorous glory:

Canadian designer Christine Morton, creator of Christine Vancouver, has blessed us with this divine Bijoux Charmeuse Silk Gown $259, which we’re absolutely loving! Inspired by ‘old world, Victorian designs’, Christine seems to have a knack for attention to detail, without going over the top; a piece of stretch lace, detailing the back and side, makes this gown a very simple design, but with the effect of incredibly refined elegance. Available in this Vintage rose pink, and ice blue, the gown is made to order, so it does take 6 weeks to arrive, however we’re thinking the wait will definitely be worth it!

With beautiful fabrics and embroidery,Cotton Club’s beautiful Italian designs are awe-inspiring and breath-takingly beautiful. With exquisite detail, this Royal Blue Oro Francesina Blue Nightdress is just stunning; embroidered tulle adorns the neckline, between the cups and around the hips, and flowing fabric with deep side splits sweeps gorgeously over the thighs. An added treat is the matching string with tiny bows, which we think finishes off the whole romantically sexy look with elegance and unbelievable style.
The Cotton Club Oro Francesina Set is available from Silkstorm £230 for our UK readers, and from Mio Destino $456 for our US readers.

With layers of pink, ivory and taupe fabric, the last of our picks is this gorgeously floaty Phoenix Gown $130 by Elle Macpherson. We’re loving the flowing material, the tiny, almost hidden buttons and the delicate straps that complement this gown so beautifully. In all its ethereal glory, this is a gown that will make nighttime something to look forward to, whether you choose it for boudoir wear or for a night out on the town!

Over the coming week, you can look forward to our Sleepwear Series, which will include: Glamorous Nightgowns, Beautiful Chemises, Elegant Pyjamas, Bridal Nightwear and Accessories.

The Romantic: The Romantic needs to be wooed with candlelight, poetry, and of course, beautiful lingerie. She loves soft, flowing chiffons, luxurious silk and exquisite lace so she can look wondrously beautiful while she listens to your romantic words. Valentine’s day is all about being spoiled, and we’ve picked some of the most romantic lingerie for you, so you have more time to spend picking petals off roses to lay on her bed!

Small Sizes

The French are renowned for being some of the most romantic people in the world and their lingerie is no different. With ribbon straps, and lace inspired by old-fashioned French corsetry, this gorgeous Aubade Romantic Cosmo bra £50 is designed with the Romantic in mind. Together with a silky paneled, and lacebrief £32, this is a set the Romantic will love.

The Romantic adores silk, and there’s no better way to indulge her than letting her lounge in this sensational lounge set by Aloe. The 1930′s inspired puff sleeve top $264 and beautiful flowing lounge pants $210 , in navy silk, will not just be a romantic gesture, the Romantic will love you for knowing exactly what she adores.

Large Sizes

Ornately embroidered, this Red Berry Shannon bra $72/£27 is perfect for the Romantic with its deep colour, reminiscent of those velvety roses she loves so much. Available with a matching brief $34/£13.49 and thong $32/£12.59 at either Figleaves for those of you in the US, or at Bras and Honey in the UK, this set could end up being the Romantic’s favourite!

On Valentine’s night, the Romantic will need something to make her feel very special! For this to happen, she will need to feel indulged in every way, and this silk
Leigh Bantivoglio Cara femme chemise with lace trim will certainly go part of the way to make her night!

Other Romantic Picks

If the Romantic wants to indulge her flirtier side, this beautifully flowing, chiffon Janet Reger nightdress £110 with lace cups, and a silky ribbon is bound to give the playful Romantic plenty of pleasure!

Ah, the piece de resistance! We waited until last to show you this incredible creation by one of Knickers’ favourites: Guia La Bruna. If any piece is going to impress and make the Romantic weak at the knees, it’s this, appropriately-named, Love Bow bralet with jaw-droppingly beautiful frill knickers. The exquisitely designed bralet with delicate pink dots on incredibly luxurious silk, a large beautiful bow and sequined straps, all play a part in making this an absolutely stunning set. What more could a Romantic ask for?

Time is running out for last shipping days for Christmas, so we’re going to hurry up and finish out our Christmas Picks series with a big bang: here are our favourite lingerie picks for Christmas 2007, categorized from the Lingerie Virgin to the Vixen.

Virgin: Dessous by Sophie Simmons

For a woman who doesn’t want frills and doesn’t want too much fuss, the simple Dessous by Sophie Simmons is a lovely gift – luxurious, simple, and still guaranteed to make her feel amazing. You can get Dessous at Catriona MacKechnie

Other Virgin picks:

• Eres lingerie (US)
• Alice & Astrid (UK), US stockist

Cozy Cutie: Elizabeth Cotton

It’s been a while since we checked in on loungewear designer Elizabeth Cotton, and we’re loving all of her new lines – in addition to the original cropped-leg PJ’s, Elizabeth has full-length pajamas, nightshirts (pictured above), robes, and some adorable lounge shorts. All lines are available in printed Liberty cotton, sateen or flannel – perfect for any cozy cutie!

Other Cozy Cutie picks:

• Argentovivo Cashmere Pajamas (UK)

Athlete: Pure Lime

Scandinavian label Pure Lime takes workout wear to its bare basics – brilliant fabric, great support, and 100% comfort.

Other Athlete Picks:

• Elita (US)
• Running Bare (UK)

Sophisticate: Christies Lingerie

Given its rather unassuming name, Christie’s is a little gem of refined, indulgent Italian lingerie. Definitely on the sultrier side of the Romantic spectrum, Christie’s perfectly captures that savage glamour and cold loveliness of any Sophisticate. The lingerie looks amazing on her, and the Sophisticate will look as if she couldn’t care a fig. Christies is available in Europe at Cazar and in the US at Nancy Meyer.

Other Sophisticate picks:

• Courtworth Lingerie (US)
• Cotton Club (UK)

Romantic: Sally Jones

The Romantic likes lace, soft colours, feminine shapes and gorgeous fabrics. To fit this bill, we went to Sally Jones lingerie, a Welsh designer living in Australia who has beautifully blended European glamour with Australian chic. Read our entire write-up of Sally Jones here.

Other Romantic picks:

• Julianne (some heavenly pieces this season, UK)
• Carine Gilson (US)

Flirt: Ravage

French label Ravage has been doing some gorgeous collections lately, and their whimsical retro-inspired “Free Collection” is perfectly suited to any Flirt. These frilly, lacy sets are positively Audrey Hepburn but still saucy enough to make her feel amazing. Also don’t miss the Diva collection (particularly the Gupiere) for Flirt-bordering-on-Vixen pieces. (all US, also available in Europe)

Other Flirt Picks:

• Mimi Holliday (UK), US stockist
• Patrick & Skinner (a variety of UK stockists)

There you go, no more excuses! You’re on your last shopping days of Christmas so hop to it, and don’t forget to wrap all her gorgeous lingerie up in our silk lingerie bag!

We’re continuing with our Christmas Picks series, and after pointing out some gorgeous Christmas lingerie for a Romantic, we’re moving on to the Vixen. The Lingerie Vixen loves the edgier side of lingerie, but doesn’t want to compromise on luxury – she’ll take her cuffs in pure silk, if you please.

Nichole de Carle, a line that we’ve been anticipating for over a year, has finally launched, and just in time for your Vixen’s perfect Christmas. Like our romantic pick earlier this week, we chose Nichole de Carle for its fabulous gift-giving potential: this lingerie is limited edition, brand new, handmade and with100% silk, is incredibly luxurious.

It’s difficult to describe Nichole de Carle’s lingerie, because there’s so little else like it — it’s deeply seductive and almost dominatrix in its style, but the complex construction and lattice-like stylings make this lingerie seem more like art, or even architecture. The benefit is that you can buy sensationally sexy lingerie, but without that horrible “sexy sexy” aftertaste – Nichole de Carle’s pieces could never be mistaken for anything but pure silky luxury, and your Vixen will adore it to bits.

You can buy Nichole de Carle’s two gorgeous basques (pictured above) at Silk Storm as of today, and for the rest of collection you can contact Nichole directly to place an order. Some pieces are made to order so even if you miss this for Christmas, I would put in an order for Valentine’s Day!
