Wow I'm sure those are great labels of lingerie ! My lingerie knowledge is not that good , so I don't really know . Haha . Thanks for sharing anyway ! Ohh and Happy new year !
Happy New Year, Becky!
I just checked your blog and I can't believe you're only 14. I wish I'd had your style when I was 14. :-)
Thanks for sharing, you have a very wide field of knowledge when it concerns lingerie, it is great that you share that with your readers.
I would like to wish you a very happy and prosperous new year!
May the new year bag you heaps of bargains and loads of lingerie.
Colin.
I love the shot, it's from my beloved Vaneska :)

I dont know all the brands yo named here but I agree about KMD and La Magia. Also Hepburn & Leigh are amazng, specially because of their disscounts hehe
Happy New Year love!!!
@sexylegsandbody
You're welcome, Colin! The only thing I want is for the stuff I'm posting to help my readers. I can't tell you how happy it makes me when someone finds exactly what they were looking for through my posts. :-)
@Ligeia
Hepburn & Leigh is amazing, I agree. The only reason I listed La Magia instead is because La Magia carries more brands and because La Magia has free shipping. For those of us stateside, free shipping is a HUGE perk. :-)
Dear Treacle – terrific picks all 'round. Glad to see Wolford still on top of the tights podium.
Enjoy the new year. Thanks in advance for helping mine be a prettier one.

Thanks for the award, it is nice to be appreciated for what we do.

Happy New Year darling!

This is a wonderful list! I just purchased my first pair of WOlford Tights and am looking to acquire some from Bebaroque!
@Petra Bellejames
You already know you're welcome, Petra. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.
@Vicki-La Magia
You're very welcome. I wouldn't say these things about you if they weren't true.
@Lenorenevermore
Vanessa Ho is one of my favorite lingerie photographers. I feel like her work is just perfect for this blog!
@janettaylor
Happy New Year to you too, lovely!
@Dream Sequins
You must come back and tell me what you think of the Wolfords. Which style did you buy? :-)
Beautiful photo! Believe it or not, back in the day I was a total lingerie addict, I even worked at a lingerie store during grad school to feed my habit. You are inspiring me, so I'll be going through all your picks to find out what exactly I "need" to have for 2010. Happy New Year!
Stay stylish!

I love Black Milk!

Happy New Year's Eve!

Thanks for the link to Timeless-Trends.com
Very happy with my corset!!!
it sometimes seems that two clubs should exist: one for KMD lovers (because you either love it or you don't know it) and those who love La Magia. I'd participate in both!!!
as far as I know, there's nothing better in terms of service and friendliness :)
Best Luxury Lingerie Brand: Chantelle Thomas
Good call! I don’t often hear it praised enough!
