Toot's Birthday Lingerie Lust-List!

My 20th birthday is coming up this Saturday and I'm incredibly excited already! Spent the last few days gawking over pretty things that I will be able to buy once it comes round and unsurprisingly, most of this stuff is lingerie! No doubt on Saturday I will be dragging my poor (but very lovely) boyfriend around Harrods and Selfridges looking at luxury lingerie and possibly some lingerie boutiques if we get round to it! However, these are the pieces that have caught my eye lately and will possibly be treating myself to... Happy birthday me! Oh and I promise that after my birthday, any new and favourite pieces I've purchased will certainly be making an appearance on the blog!

Kiss Me Deadly Sirena Set

What it Means to be a Newly Single Lingerie Lover

Bra and briefs by Myla. Girdle by Kiss Me Deadly

Warning - this is a highly self-indulgent, personal break up post! 
My boyfriend of 4 years and I decided to part ways recently. Almost my childhood sweetheart - we met when I was 16. Now, at the age of 20, I feel like I have a great journey of personal growth ahead of me and I'm feeling fragile, excited, upset, relieved, at a loss and invigorated all at once. You're probably reading this and thinking, 'what on earth has this got to do with me and my panties?!' I don't blame you and I promise I'm not usually one to air my smalls on the internet - well, the proverbial ones anyway - but I wanted to share this because it's actually so relevant to my love affair with lingerie. From the initial spark of, 'well I guess I'd better start buying big-girl panties now that I've got a boyfriend and all...' to the shocking realisation, 'oh my knickers, lingerie shopping is actually damn cool!', my private relationship with - let's just call him Handsome Boy - coincided perfectly with my relationship with undies.

Ouvert and Cupless - What's the deal?

Damaris

What is the point of lingerie? Is it functional, is it for covering up your boobs and bum, for support? Or is lingerie simply there for the point of being alluring, beautiful, and making you feel like a goddess? I'd like to think it was the latter but I suppose that when lingerie was first created they weren't as forward-thinking. It wasn't until the nineteenth century was lingerie was created as a visually appealing garment. So why do we have lingerie that purposefully doesn't cover nipples and genitals?! Well, here at Toots & Booty I'm all for the idea of being naked whilst also getting to wear the cutest and most beautiful lingerie pieces!

Toots, Booty and Sean OMalley Combine Forces with Fabulous Boudoir Consequences

Back in June, Toots & Booty decided to embark on the sexy, scantily clad mission of shooting some imagery for our humble little blog. This is partly because we were sick of being faceless bloggers but also because, lingerie is made to be seen right? We just don't think it would be fair to parade images of ladies in their smalls around the place without getting involved! So this is us in all our scant glory - Toots is the blondie, Booty is the one with the irrationally large bottom! And this is what we wore...

eBay Lingerie Finds

I know there are probably a few of you sitting there thinking "eh? What kind of crazy bitch buys their undies on ebay?" well I'm a crazy bitch and you'll thank me later for it. Ebay is a wondrous site where you can find pieces for low or discounted prices, pieces that have gone out of season or are sold out, and even versions of designs you like but are out of reach, all at the click of the button and the majority of bits I have come across have been unworn and with tags. Do you miss this Bordelle limited edition Angela cage dress? Well here's a taste of what's to come.The reason I'm saying all this in great confidence is because I got this beautiful Bordelle bra for only £30, brand new, perfect. So here we go, I'm sharing these with you!

Sale Rail!

The sales have started and there's so so many lovely things that you can get at the moment for teeny tiny prices! So not to worry if you're strapped for cash and need a lingerie fix to get you through the working week because there's even designer styles down to prices as little as £10! So here's my top picks for this seasons sales!

Christmas came early!

I Heart My Bras - Top Five

This isn't my usual method of bra storage

As I'm always banging on about bras I like, bras I want and bras I think everybody should rush out and get, I thought I should probably share some from my own collection. My favourites change practically every week but these are my top 5 for now! (Warning: Very inexperienced photography coming your way!)
