everything you always wanted to know about lingerie*
*but were too afraid to ask

Who is the ultimate lingerie wearer???

So this may be no surprise to you at all, or it could be a sudden enlightenment to live your life like this individual. The ultimate lingerie wearer I am talking about is the never boring Lady Gaga. Yes, the bad romance, monster loving artist of our generation. She loves to wear garments that either look like something from the future or what should belong hidden for intimate time.  You can say what you may on Lady Gaga; there’s no debate on her love of lingerie. With this current Spring’s love for wearing inner wear for outer wear, we may need to look at Lady Gaga for inspiration. Okay, so many of us  wont be wearing a bra top and fishnets to a ball game anytime soon, but who knows right? Here below are just a few pictures of inspiration from the famous Poker-face.    - JH

Guys guide to buying underwear

First of all guys its okay to ask a lady what she wants. Find out what size and color she likes. Remember this is just as much for you as it is for her. Woman like lace and cotton. With G-strings being to scandalous. Always go for the more practical, woman like to feel good in their underwear. Thongs and briefs are always safe bets. If you have a budget go to Victoria Secret. If you want to splurge go to La Perla Such as the one below. Black Pink and red are always a good color for her. She might not even hate you if you buy a size to small. Be smart gentlemen. Remember you want to be able to see what you bought on your lady otherwise all you hard work goes down the drain.

What She Would Wear: Christina Hendricks

I don’t know too much about Christina Hendricks, but as suggested, I thought it would be fun to do a WSWW on a bustier actress. I started watching Mad Men last Christmas with my parents and I kindly asked them to not watch without me, but they got hooked and I have yet to catch up. :(

I think the trickiest part of finding a bra when you are curvier is finding the right amount of coverage without looking like a grandma. You still want to be sexy even if you have a larger assets. Many of the sites that I looked at for bras either did not offer enough support or they were wildly ugly and covered everything. Biggerbras.com offered a lot of great options for gals who need more support.

Enjoy!

Cheers!

How about Christina Hedrick? What would she wear?
I am about the same size up top, plus love her style, so was wondering what you'd suggest.

I would love to do this for you! 

I see LONDON, I see FRANCE, I see your…

From the looks of the Mach issue of Elle magazine, the old saying will no longer be a shameful taunt. The creative director,Joe Zee, did an article called “After-School Special” about this Spring’s key trend: wearing innerwear as outwear. The Elle Style A to Zee addition this month included the new fresh faces of television, the cast of Skins. Of course for this week’s blog, I had to show you the wonderful pieces they used! It wont be long until someone says to you, “Your underwear is showing” and you can happily reply, ” Thank you, I’m glad you noticed!” Check out the photos below on the article!- JH

Mens age old question boxers or briefs?

Here’s the thing, men are always on the hunt for the right pair of underwear. What would you say to that? Boxers, briefs, or the elusive hybrid boxer-briefs? Underwearimageimage

What She Would Wear: Kristen Stewart Valentine’s Day 2011

I am not a big fan of Kristen Stewart’s acting, but her styling seems to catch my eye from time to time, especially in the February edition of Vogue. She has a super edgy tom boy style and isn’t the most conventional at times, but her face is so innocent and cute that I think it would be interesting to see what she would want to wear to the bedroom. Taking this opportunity to style Kristen for Valentine’s day was my sick way of getting myself ready for MY own Valentine’s day with my future lover Robert Pattinson but REALLY Edward Cullen (JOKING…kind of.) CHEERS! CG

What She Would Wear: Zooey Deschanel Valentine’s Day 2011

I fell in love with Zooey Deschanel years ago and ever since she has been a great source of inspiration when it comes to picking out my own clothes. I love how effortlessly chic she is. Every girl wants to dress like her and every guy wants to date her. That is why I thought it would be a fun idea to put myself in her shoes and create what she would wear on Valentine’s day (I threw in some MUST-HAVE beauty products that I think she would love as well). Hopefully, this will help some of you ladies who want to look eclectic, whimsical, and all around adorable for that special someone on Valentine’s day. CHEERS! CG
