Lingerie Style Icon: Bettie Page

5"5 of glamour, style and raw sex appeal, the fetishist and model Bettie Page still continues to be a style icon for many of us interested in pin-up, lingerie and fetish. Her jet-black hair, stunning blue eyes and what is now known as "Bettie Bangs" have influenced artists, designers, and models heavily and she is still fresh in our mind! So here it is, get the "Bettie Page" look. First off: get a bottle of black hair dye, cut hair to shoulder length and cut short fringe (hairdresser not necessary)!

Here Comes The Bride!

With the recent influx of fashion-forward bridal lingerie it's no wonder I'm having dreams of white weddings! Whether you've been given a diamond ring or just a ring with diamonds, there's no time like the present to be checking out the fantastic bridal ranges popping up recently. And who cares if there's no ring on your finger because with lingerie this beautiful you don't need an excuse (and if you're getting married soon then you're just lucky!).

Trend: Triangle Bras

L-R - Calvin Klein, Intimissimi & Damaris

I'm loving the popularity of triangle bras at the moment. As opposed to some other soft-cup bras, they're really flattering on the bust and tie in perfectly with the 'underwear as outerwear' trend (a lot of these bras would look great under a sheer blouse). One of the best places to go for triangle bras is Damaris/Mimi Holliday. They have a great selection in fab colours like the lemon drop bra pictured above right. I also love the scarlet Calvin Klein (top left) with its applique detailing on the cups and the gorgeous lace Intimissimi bra (centre) with pink floral accents.
