12 Days of Holiday Lingerie: Day 12

Give the unforgettable gift of sumptuous Italian silk from Christine Lingerie this Christmas. 

Courtesy of Christine, I've recently had the pleasure of adding this beautiful Gatsby Lounge Top (pictured below) to my armoire of particularly special pieces. It is absolutely luxurious to touch. Made of a light, silk charmeuse, it will pair perfectly with denim and stiletto booties. While tailored black culottes and strappy sandals will play up the drama of the design's contrasting noir details.

Any piece from the stunning Gatsby Collection would make a memorable present. Christine Lingerie's iconic kimono may best show the beautiful digitally printed peacock motif.

Honestly, the best part is that the garments are not 'dry clean only' as one would expect. I was more than pleasantly surprised to learn that my gorgeous piece could be gently handwashed and hung to dry at home!

The Gatsby Collection and other fine silk collections are available online at Christine Lingerie, at Christine Lingerie's Vancouver showroom and in-store at Romantique Lingerie in West Vancouver.

Truly a special gift, for someone truly special.

12 Days of Holiday Lingerie: Day 11

Cozy, chic and comfortable doesn't get much better than this.

When it comes to soft, Fleur't's signature modal fabric is a no brainer. We love this set first and foremost because it's just crazy soft! Over and above that, the chemise offers fabulous fit and support. 

The T-Back Tank chemise is both beautiful and functional with stretch cups, lace overlay, empire waistline and body skimming a-line skirt.

 Beyond the ever-so-soft signature modal (Did we mention that already?), The Take Me Away Short Robe features a long-sleeved wrap design with a hint of silk at the waist.

Both pieces are available in-store at Romantique Lingerie Boutique in West Vancouver.

Something for the new, or soon-to-be momma.

I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for versatile and comfortable nursing attire. Take it from a new momma - Au Fait Mama Breastfeeding Apparel is the perfect gift! 

My Au Fait Mama pieces have been wardrobe staples both prenatal and postpartum. Made right here in Vancouver, the soft bamboo jersey apparel had plenty of stretch to change right along with my changing body during pregnancy. Now that I'm breastfeeding, these pieces are essential functional foundations in my wardrobe. The scooped neckline design simply pulls down when it's time to nurse, then returns back to it's original shape!

Effortlessly modern underpinnings that work for fuller figures.

This is another set on our personal wishlist. Not only because Fortnight Lingerie's modern and versatile pieces are designed and manufactured in Canada. You know how much we love that! 

Also because they make, what we feel to be one of the most stunning longline bras out there. 

  

Fortnight Lingerie Longline Bra in Strass.

But mostly because we, like many women out there, have held the belief that that a wireless longline was for small women with small breasts. That was until we saw Candice Huffine killing it in the Luna Longline and Luna High Waist Knickers.

Red most definitely is the colour of love, when you see the Cordelia Bra and panty! A stunning red satin is overlaid with black eyelash lace, peeking over the top and bottom of the cups. A delicate black bow with tiny red rose is placed in the centre of the cups. A sensual and alluring set that you’ll want to wear over and over again!
