Almeida launches on If You Please

Back in May, we got chatting with London-based lingerie designer, Tamara about her fetish-inspired brand, Almeida. (Read that post here). Almeida is now available on online boutique ifyouplease.co.uk. This gives us the perfect opportunity to take a look at some of the pieces from the debut collection we didn't get to share here. I love the purple/red lace and how it contrasts with the leather. Congratulations to Tamara Bell on a sophisticated, fabulous debut!

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)!

Designer Exclusive - Almeida

With a new website currently under construction and a concession on ifyouplease.co.uk from July 2nd, independent brand, Almeida, is about to take the lingerie world by storm. The stunning, bondage-heavy look book showcasing fetish-inspired pieces and the website dominated by a leather clad model with merely the ominous words "Coming Soon" have got us very excited for this fresh new brand. Checking out the look book it seems we can expect plenty of leather and lace, cupless bras and a fab little lingerie dress. A big thanks to Tamara for chatting with us about her sophisticated and, frankly, smoking hot new collection.

Fetish Fancies from Playful Promises

I'm all about Playful Promises today as they've been delighting Facebook followers with fabulous sneak previews of upcoming lingerie the passed couple of days. For example, I'm very intrigued by this teaser from the upcoming collaboration with Kaori's Latex Dreams and can't wait until more is revealed.
