Honey Birdette is a high-end Australian intimates brand that launched in 2006 as a luxurious, woman-friendly brand selling hypersexy lingerie. Today, it’s an AUD$2 billion company, selling extreme push-up bras, high-end sex toys, and buckets of oozing sexuality. Though they haven’t yet taken over the States in the same way they did in Australia, the label now has a few stores in California, and offers free shipping and free returns […]
Since my last article on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, we’ve seen quite a few updates. On October 24th, VS officially announced this year’s show would be held in Paris.

Addition Elle has released a lingerie collection in conjunction with Ashley Graham each season for awhile now, but I’d never been able to try their lingerie since they didn’t go up to my […]
I admit, I had never heard of Intimissimi until recenty. Although the company has been around for 15 years, they stay close to their Italian roots. While there are 1200 stores in 31 countries, none of them are in the US. But they have a huge presence in their native Italy.
