Feel like a real starlet in this gorgeous robe!

Have you ever wished for glamorous, comfortable and snugly alternatives to sweat pants and hoodies? Beautiful garments you can lounge in around the house, that make you feel a million dollar?

Or maybe you are a burlesque star looking for a true Old Hollywood style dressing gown.

Well, you know we are always on the hunt for new designers and we are thrilled to finally have found one that will make your wishes come true. It is Betty Blue's Loungerie.

Exclusive to Sweet Pins, Betty's aim is to provide gorgeous girlies of all ages and sizes with snugly, and most importantly glamorous, garments to recline and relax in –just as those stars of Hollywood did in the 1930's to 1950's old fashioned films did!

The highlight from Betty's latest collection is the Nell Robe. A stunning full length robe/dressing gown in buttery soft red jersey fabric and beautiful sheer lace panels around the waist. 

Have you ever seen the 1952 film “Don’t bother to knock”? It starred Marilyn Monroe, as Nell, and she was wearing a seductive robe that was the inspiration for this.

The jersey is oh so comfortable whilst the lace shapes your curves to show off your figure to its fullest, in a corset-like effect. 

Slip into this robe for a romantic night in. Wow effect guaranteed.

The Nell Robe is now on sale at Sweet Pins.

There are so many ways to wear your Vargas suspender dress...

I am a firm believer than lingerie should not be hidden under your clothes or limited to the bedroom.I mean what's the point of splurging in gorgeous underwear if the rest of the world can't see it?

So I've been looking for different ways to show off my Kiss me Deadly Vargas suspender dress. I found some amazing pictures on the Kiss me Deadly blog - they have accessorized it with pearls, corsages, feathers.. you name it! 

But this look is one that I really love..and I think I'll be replicating soon.

Morgana is photographed here with a Vargas suspender dress, sheer stockings, a pencil skirt from Hola Chica and driving gloves. Simply fabulous!

Kiss me Deadly Blue DeVille lingerie set & suspender skirt

You can't believe my excitement when this collection finally landed to our Sydney office!

I had never worn a suspender skirt and I was quite keen to try one. The most beautiful thing about the Kiss me Deadly DeVille skirt  is the material: a stretch satin in a midnight blue with a black lace overlay on the waist. It feels and looks divine on!

The skirt has scalloped edges that split and overlap in the middle, revealing (if you wish to) a glimpse of your stockings top when you walk.
In fact, attached from the inside are 6 garter straps. Metal clasps, sturdy and secure, like only Kiss me Deadly can do.
I found this is also a very versatile piece - paired with a black top and black heels, it makes a very glamorous evening outfit. But you can also wear it with lighter colors for day time. I've been experimenting with a fitted Breton top, nude seamed stockings and red heels. Very Bardot meets Lolita :)

So how do you wear your suspender skirt? What do you love most about it? I'd love to hear your comments. Or send your pictures to lidia@sweetpins.com.au or post them on our Facebook page

The theme for the new Kiss me Deadly collection is women spies from WW2: this woman stole secrets from a naval office with the help of her lover (and some knock-out drops), and when caught, they took their clothes off and pretended to be in flagrante in order to explain why they were sneaking around the building!

The Blue DeVille skirt, matching bra and knickers can be purchased here. This is a limited edition collection, only 300 sets have been made.

Get a glimpse..

Stockings, fun and frolics! Glimpse magazine offers a light hearted view for all those into retro culture. It is inspired by gentlemen’s magazines from the 1950’s, a period where simply a glimpse of a ladies under-garment was enough to send many into convulsions. Published by Tony Nylons, the famous pin up photographer, these magazines are a real collector's item. While some of the features may lead your vicar to choke on his tea, these are not designed to be an adult publication.However we still think it would make a naughty Christmas present this year (wink!)
And if you are into pin up and burlesque dressing, you will get plenty of ideas for new looks.

Stockings and Lingerie shopping - a gentleman's guide

Christmas is just a few weeks away and it's time for you gentlemen to carry out some lingerie detective work! Simply abandon any visions of a pre-canned gift idea that you might be clinging to. Instead buy her a sumptuous, glamorous and unique gift from the heart - an object of desire which could be transformed in something fun for you both in the boudoir!

Here are some golden rules to help you find the perfect gift for your fabulous significant other (ladies, feel free to forward this email as many times as you like. Or print it and hide it in his pocket - wink!)

Tip1 : Women generally do like red. Men THINK women love red. To choose a colour that she will love and feel comfortable wearing, have a sneaky look at her lingerie drawer. What do you see?
Lots of black and neutral tones: Stick to the same colour for stockings and suspender belts. Black is sexy and easy to wear. Black suspenders and black stockings is a winning combination. White garter belts look beautiful with nude sheer hosiery.
Leopard prints: Yay! Your girl probably prefers the glamour of vintage or vintage inspired. Experiment with eye catching prints and bold colours. Yes, you are allowed to buy red stockings, if you really want to.

Tip2 : Buy suspender belts with metal clasps, not plastic. Cheap plastic straps will allow stockings to come loose and fall down the leg. All our suspender belt have metal clasps and are fully adjustable for a perfect fit. To find the right size check her undies - it is very likely to be the same size as her knickers.

Tip3 : Seamed stockings are sexy. And slimming. Chances are your lady will love them! Fully fashioned stockings have a seam sewn in (rather than printed), are ultra sheer and more expensive, but also more durable and a special treat.

Tip4 : Practical lingerie is generally not sexy lingerie. Ditto for stockings. Get her something that will make her feel fabulous!

Finally, don't be scared to ask the experts if you are still not sure. We are always happy to offer ideas and advice!
