Friday Fun: Days of the Week Knickers by Stella McCartney

Did you have days of the week knickers when you were a kid? The Fashion Police are sad to report that we didn't - but now Stella McCartney has provided us with the perfect excuse to buy them now we're adults, with this Knickers of the Week pack, which is £125 at Net-a-Porter. At first the price made our eyes pop a little, but of course, it works out at just over £17 per pair, which you may think is worth it given that they are pretty cute knickers, no?

Budget Buy of the Week: Dusky pink satin sleep set from Next

We have to confess that Next isn't a store we're given to policing all too often, but they actually do some pretty good value basics like t-shirts, tank tops and, of course, lingerie and nightwear, and when we discovered this pretty little pink set for just £14, well, we were sold.

This is also available in taupe, and we think it'd be rather sweet to slip into of an evening, or even to give as a gift. Not bad, Next, not bad at all...

Budget Buy of the Week: Vintage silk chemise from Oasis

At £35, this vintage silk chemise from Oasis is a little more expensive than the items we normally feature as our Budget Buys, but it's not exactly going to break the bank, so if you're looking to add a little touch of luxury to your life, you may think the price is justified.

The lovely pale green colour was what originally attracted us to this, but we also love the thought of going to bed feeling like an old fashioned movie star for once, instead of the usual "anything to keep warm" ensemble. If that thought appeals to you too, the matching vintage silk bed jacket might be right up your street too.

Victoria's Secret unveil 2008 Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra

The world may be going through a financial crisis, but the folks at Victoria's Secret are all just, "Financial crisis? What financial crisis?" because it's that time of the year again - the time when Victoria's Secret unveil a bra so expensive it'll make your head spin.

This year's effort is shown above. It's worth $5,000,000 and is made from ,575 black diamonds, 117 white diamonds and 34 rubies. Oh, and those two things you see hanging down in front, looking a little bit like the string-pulls you get on window blinds? Black diamonds. Big 'uns.

Expect to see it on Victoria Beckham very, very soon...

Do you wear... butt-enhancing knickers?

By now it should come as no surprise to anyone that butt-enhancing knickers exist. They've been around for a long time now, after all, but here's the strange thing about that: we've still yet to meet anyone who actually wears them. Or who admits to wearing them, anyway, which may be a totally different thing. And so we ask: who is buying the butt-enhancing knickers? Is it you? How about you? And what do you think of them, if you do? Do you wear them every day, or is it just a "special occasion" thing? Are they comfortable or does it feel, as the above picture seems to suggest, a little "bouncy" when you sit down?

Excuse all the questions: we're just generally curious about this because, despite not exactly being blessed in the buttock department, these are something it's just never occurred to us to buy. If it has occurred to you, but you just haven't gotten around to buying a pair yet, though, the ones pictured are the Esbelt Better Bum Pant (!) and are £30 at ASOS. Let us know what you think of them though, won't you?

Sequin high waist knickers from Topshop - suddenly, lingerie gets interesting

These were in the lingerie section at Topshop this morning, and, believe it or not, are already sold out online. All we can say is that some people clearly have much more exciting knicker drawers than The Fashion Police do. We now feel deeply ashamed of our collection of non-sequined undies...

If you want to dress just like Kylie, these are £25 and you'll need to visit the store in person to find them. Just make sure you don't stick them in the machine with the rest of the wash...

Save or Splurge: tie-side briefs

OK, so clearly the two items shown above aren't identical, but the style is roughly the same, so what we want to know is: how much would you pay for a pair of knickers, anyway?

The pair on the left are from Accessorize, are made of cotton and are a wallet-friendly £6. The ones on the right, meanwhile, are much more of a splurge at £65, but they are made of silk, and are by Myla, available at Net-a-Porter.

We think both are rather cute, but tell us: is the luxury of silk worth all that extra cash to you, or would you settle for cotton and spend the extra £59 on something else? Assuming that you'd even buy this style in the first place, would you save or splurge?

[More Save or Splurge items!]

Adult Onesies: the Dress Like a Toddler Trend claims further victims

We don't know whether to laugh or cry at this one, so we think we're going to settle for "crying with laughter". Because seriously, readers. Seriously. These onesies would look super-cute on babies or toddlers, but here's the thing: they're not for babies or toddlers. No, they're for us. Adults. Yes, the 'Dress Like a Toddler' trend has struck again. Is there no stopping its reign of terror?

Now, like the Sonia Rykiel cardigan before them, we can't deny that these will keep you nice and cosy on a cold winter's night, and will be super-comfortable when you're lounging around the house. The cosy comfort will be achieved at the expense of your dignity, however, and unless you sleep alone - or want to - you may want to reconsider your choice of an adult onesie complete with pwetty little yellow duckies on the front. That could be really off-putting for your partner, you know?

What say you to these, readers? Do you seek style and comfort, even in your pyjamas, or do these seem like a good idea to you? If so, you can buy them here. (And if the pictures above amused you, wait until you see the men's versions!)

Doll Bras - creepy faces for your breasts

Breasts. Boobs. Lovely lady lumps. Whatever. They're all well and good, you know, but wouldn't they be so much better if they had, oh, let's see, a couple of scary doll faces staring out of them, say? No? What do you mean, "no"? If you don't think that sounds like a good idea, then there would be no need for Doll Bras to exist in the world, and as Doll Bras most certainly do exist in the world, then we can only assume that people are buying them. And wearing them. And walking around with little creepy doll faces attached to their boobs. No, we don't understand why either. And we're scared.

Seriously, wouldn't you be scared if you looked in the mirror and suddenly your breasts had faces? It's like the plot of some crappy horror movie, but trust us, folks: this is no movie. This is real life, and in real life, people are dressing themselves in such a way that their breasts appear to have faces. We couldn't make it up, could we?

Doll Bras are available for the bargain price of $42 each, and you get to choose your own "character" and the colour of the feather boa surrounding it. Sound good? Buy yours here, then proceed straight to the Fashion Police jail. Do not pass "Go". Do not collect $200...

Would you wear...high rise panties?

The times, they are a-changin' in the wonderful world of fashion. Jeans are getting higher in the waist. Bikini bottoms are getting higher in the waist. So we guess it was just a matter of time before lingerie followed suit, and now it has. These high rise panties are from Twin Syndrome Design Works on Etsy, and cost $20 each.

Would you wear them, though?

Well, they look super-comfortable and are probably nice and cosy for the winter, but The Fashion Police never did buy into the high-waisted jeans look, and we think these might look a little bit odd sticking out of the top of our hipsters. So that would be a "probably not" from us, but what do you think, fashion fans? If you like them, you can buy them here.

Braza's 'Reveal' bra - double sided sticky tape for the boobs

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman - particularly those times when we're forced to stick two large pieces of sticky tape to our boobs just to hold them up in a backless or low-cut dress...

Braza's 'Reveal' bra does pretty much what it says on the tin - it "reveals" as much of your breast as is humanly possible, relying on double-sided tape to keep your clothes in place while it lifts and holds from above.

This isn't recommended for anyone larger than a 38C, but if you're smaller than that, you can pick one up at Amazon for $8. We're sure this isn't the case, but every time we look at it, we think of the painful sensation of ripping off a sticking plaster.

Anyone tried it?

Open Cup Bras: frame your boobs, offer no support whatsoever

 

We were going to describe this open cup bra by Kiki de Montparnasse as the most pointless (or perhaps "cupless" would be a better choice of word here) thing ever, but of course, that's not quite correct: not only do shants already hold the title of Most Pointless Thing Ever, this bra does actually have a purpose. It's purpose is, not to support your breasts, but to frame them, as if they were pretty paintings or other works of art.

In other words: it's supposed to be sexy. Are we the only ones who think it just fails at that?

Ah well, ours is not to question what people decide to wear in the privacy of their own bedrooms, so if the cupless bra sounds like exactly the kind of thing you've been looking for, you'll find one more after the jump...

Dita Von Teese for Wonderbra - a match made in Fashion Police heaven

If The Fashion Police were to have a poster girl, Dita Von Teese would probably be it. She's stylish and sexy without ever looking trashy, and given that this is a burlesque dancer we're talking about here, that's quite the accomplishment. So, even although we normally have to suppress a yawn at the news of yet another celebrity fashion line, when we heard that Dita was designing a collection for Wonderbra, we sat up and took notice instead.

Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese will be available from September 23rd, but we have some more pictures of the new line under the jump. Let us know what you think!

More Batman fashion - vest and short set from Topshop

When we asked whether or not you'd wear Batman themed clothes last month, a fair few of you answered in the affirmative, so just for those people, here's another dose of Batman fashion - a vest and shorts sleep set from Topshop.

This will cost you just £16, and allow you to indulge your love of all things Batman without having to walk around in public with a giant bat on your chest. Of course, if you do want to walk around in public with a giant bat on your chest, we guess there's nothing stopping you wearing the vest with outdoor clothes.

No, not even The Fashion Police...

Wanted! Pretty floral print bra by La Senza

We've tried to get into floral print, we really have. We see it on other people, and we think, "Hmm, pretty!" but every time we try to wear it ourselves, we inevitably end up looking like post-war spinsters, and find ourselves wanting to invite elderly ladies round to Fashion Police HQ for a nice cup of tea and a scone.

So floral print on dresses, skirts, etc? Nice, but just not for us.

On lingerie, on the other hand? Well now, that's a totally different matter, and when we discovered this pretty little bra on the La Senza website, we found ourselves cooing over it as if it were a small, fluffy animal.

Then we glanced at the price and discovered it was on sale for £5. Don't you just love it when that happens?

Wanted! Lovely loungewear from La Senza

Yes, folks, we're taking our obsession with bows into the bedroom, and we don't care how much you roll your eyes at us for doing it, because these little sleepwear sets from La Senza are just too cute to resist.

Actually, they're too cute to wear just to bed, either, so we'd put these to good use by wearing them to lounge around the house of an evening, and we'd probably be tempted to wear the cami tops outside of the house too, if only the one on the left didn't look suspiciously see-through.

Ah well, at £18 for a capri n' cami combo, we think it's a pretty good deal. But which one do we like best, we wonder?

Brief Jerky: Underwear made from... beef jerky

Here at The Fashion Police, we love us some beef jerky. Not as much as the people who apparently want to wrap it around their privates, mind you. We don't think anyone should love beef jerky that much. Someone does, though, and that someone is Etsy seller Mixed Species, who is selling this fine example of "Brief Jerky" for the price of $139. For that sum, you too could look like the fine gentleman pictured just after the jump - be warned, though, this picture is probably Not Safe For Work. Or, indeed, for anyone who happens to be eating right now...

Lovely Lingerie: Antonia Ghazlan lace bra at Topshop

We started reaching for The Fashion Police credit card as soon as we saw this pretty little Antonia Ghazlan lace bra on the Topshop website, but something stayed our hands, for where are the matching knickers? They were nowhere to be seen (or they weren't at the time of writing, anyway) and surely this can't be right? Surely a pretty bra calls for a matching pair of knickers, no?

The Fashion Police are waiting impatiently for the missing pants to appear. In the meantime, we're thinking we might just make do with a white pair. You know, like they did during the war and stuff...

'Nundies' by Miss Oops: wave goodbye to visible panty lines. In fact, wave goodbye to your panties...

So, tell us: visible panty lines. How much of an issue are they really? And what lengths would you go to in order to eliminate them? Most of you weren't that impressed with the C-String, but what about these 'Nundies' by Miss Oops? They're disposable  "pantyless panties" which adhere to the inside seam of your pants, allowing you to go commando without any, um, chaffing, and other unpleasantness. Clearly, then, they wouldn't be much use for skirts or dresses, but would you wear them under pants or jeans? Or will you be sticking to the boy shorts/thongs that seem to do the trick for us?

Bottoms Up! Butt-padded briefs give you a bottom like Beyonce

Look carefully at this picture. See those large white pads on each butt cheek? They're making this model look like she has a pert, rounded bottom... when she actually doesn't. They're also making her look like she was the victim of some kind of butt-cheek related injury, but let's not think too hard about that right now. Instead, let's look at the picture again and ask ourselves: what would it feel like to try and sit down with those things in your pants? Would your jeans still fit you, or would you need to buy new ones to accommodate your pad-enhanced derriere? And would you buy a pair?

If the answer to the last question was "abso-freaking-lutely", you can find them here. Do let us know how you get on, won't you?

Ugly Underwear: the scorpion thong

This is not so much a case of "ants in your pants" as "scorpions in them". You heard us.

We don't know about you, but small, pincered crustaceans in the genital are doesn't really say "fashion" or even "sexy"to us. It says... actually, lets; not lower the tone here any further, hmmm?

£5.96 from Fashion.net. If you dare.

Maindenform's Breakthrough Backless Bra - just what it sounds like

Now, we know from our Fashion Confessions that some of you just ain't too fussed about the whole "visible bra strap" issue.  Sometimes, though (and especially when it comes to wearing slinky evening wear), you just don't want those straps to show, and for those backless-dress occasions, Maidenform have come up with their Breakthrough Backless Bra.

This is... well, it's basically a couple of slings for your boobs, isn't it? But if you're wearing a dress that has either no back or a very low back, that could be just what you need if you're not prepared to go bra-less.

The bra is $25 and has just been released, so it's available for pre-order via the Maidenform website.

The Mirdle: a girdle for the guys

Seeing as we women have our Yummie Tummie Tanks, our Spanx and our control-top pants, it seems only fair that men should get their own brands of shape-wear too. And guess what? They do! They're called 'Mirdles' (Male Girdle - geddit?) and according to The Wall Street Journal, men are just lapping them up. (Not literally, we hope.)

Some questions for you, then:

Guys: Would you wear a girdle? Or a Mirdle? Or whatever you want to call it?

Girls: Would you go out with a guy in a girdle? Or be put off at all if he stripped off to reveal the item of underwear to the left of this picture? Remember, men have to put up with our Spanx, so should we support them in their wearing of Mirdles?

Padded cycling briefs. No, really...

Now, we know these padded cycling briefs have a strictly practical purpose and so don't really count as "fashion items", but come on - look at this picture again and tell us it didn't make you smile just a little bit?

Actually, the thing that puzzles us most about these is not the panty pad, which is clearly there to, er, give you some extra crotch-comfort when you cycle, but the "embroidered motifs" at front and rear, which would seem to suggest that these pants are meant to be seen. Otherwise, why bother embroidering them?

Would you want to be seen in a pair of padded pants, though? For real?

Caffeine Tights on Trial. (They make your thighs slimmer...)

The things your Fashion Police do for you. Over the past couple of weeks, we've been getting our thighs slimmer just by wearing tights: Skinkiss Caffeine Tights, to be exact. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it...

Caffeine Tights, you say? What are they?

Just like it says on the tin packet, they're tights infused with micro-capsules of caffeine - yes, the kind that you drink in your coffee. As you wear the tights, the caffeine is released into your skin, where it helps burn fat, reduce the circumference of your thighs and help mimimise the appearance of cellulite. Sounds good, no?

The tights come foil-packed, just like coffee, with each pack containing three pairs of tights. The tights can be washed up to five times each before you wash out the caffeine, and it'll take two to four weeks before you'll see the results. Take a look after the jump to see how our intrepid tester (Norma of Keeping It Realtor) got on when she tried caffeine tights out for herself...

Strapless g-strings: still selling, apparently

When we wrote about the c-string last year, we assumed this style of underwear would be a flash in the fashion pan, and that before too long we'd be searching for other strange items to say. "Oh my God - would you actually wear that?" about.

But no.

This item may be going by the name "Strapless G-String". but it's the same concept, which makes us wonder whether the idea of sticking a piece of clingy wire to your nether regions is actually starting to catch on.  Hands up, then: who's been buying all the strapless g-stings?

Valentine's Day lingerie roundup

You must have known it was coming... Yes, it's Valentine's Day, which means it's time to take a look at some pretty and/or pink lingerie. These pieces range in price from the pink see-through boy shorts, which are £4 at Accessorize, to the Myla bra on the bottom left, which is £75 from Net-a-Porter, but we'd be happy to be given any of them this morning - or, of course, to go out and buy them for ourselves...

1.Polka dot bow knickers by Mimi Holliday at BeCheeky.com; 2.0Woodland print bra and g-string-Odille at Oasis; 3. see-through briefs, Accessorize; 4. Nicole lace bra, Myla; 5. 'Lucky' knickers, Love Kylie

The Winkee: Not What It Looks Like

Meet The Winkee, fashion fans. Yes, we know it looks like a pair of knickers stretched over a bra. Be serious, though: would we show you a pair of knickers stretched over a bra in the name of fashion? (Answer: Yup, we totally would.) No, this Winkee has a practical purpose: it attaches to your bra, allowing you to wear low-cut tops without fear of flashing your cleavage. To everyone else, you'll look just like you're wearing a vest or cami top under your sweater - you, alone, will know that you're wearing The Winkee.

Winkees are $15 each, and come in a couple of different styles and colours. Couldn't you just wear an actual vest under your sweater, though, and achieve the same result, we hear you ask? Well, we guess you could. But would that be as much fun as wearing a Winkee?

Luscious Lingerie by Mimi Holliday at Oli

For reasons which totally escape me for the moment, I've always tended to stick to the clothes and shoes sections of the Oli website, bypassing the lingerie altogether. Last night, though, following yet another, "whoops, I've dyed all of my knickers grey in wash again!" incident, I decided to take a quick look, and instantly found myself lusting over these sets by Mimi Holliday.

It's no secret (well, not any more, obviously) that I'm a bit of a lingerie addict, and not just because of my unfortunate habit of dying it all grey. The world just seems that little bit brighter when you're wearing knickers that match your bra, plus, as your mother probably told you, if you get run over by a bus, at least you won't be embarrassed by your smalls. Because you'll be dead. If you're not, though, the prices and links for these two sets are below...

Mimi Holliday bra, £39; matching briefs, £17; Mimi rHolliday ed spot balcony bra; matching briefs, £13

Get 5% off at TightsPlease.co.uk in conjunction with The Fashion Police

If there's one thing that makes up for the dreary drabness of winter, it's all of the fabulous tights, stockings and hold-ups it gives us the opportunity to wear. We're spoiled for choice with all of the hoisery looks around at the moment, and nowhere is that level of choice more apparent than at TightsPlease.co.uk, which stocks all the tights a girl will ever need, plus a few more for good luck.

TightsPlease are currently offering a 5% discount to Fashion Police readers, so if you want to stock up, now's your chance. I have my eyes on this pair by Jonathon Astor, in this season's must-have purple, but you'll find everything from over-the-knee socks to fishnets, in every colour imaginable, and they've also produced a handy catwalk guide detailing designer hoisery looks from this year's shows, and the tights you'll need to buy to recreate them for yourself.

To claim your discount, just enter the code tp4fashpol at checkout - and remember to come back and tell us what you bought!

The Butt Bra by Bikini - makes your butt look better, apparently

Don't hit that "back" button - you haven't stumbled onto some bondage lingerie site by mistake, this is, in fact, a fashion item, given that it's a piece of lingerie designed to flatter, not to ... well, you know. And while it may not look particularly flattering in this picture (or, indeed, in any of the pictures of it on the website), that's OK, because it's not actually supposed to be on show. Phew!

This is Bikini's "butt bra", designed to lift up your buttocks, giving you a pert, J. Lo-esque shape under your clothes - and if you think this picture's bad, wait until you see the 'Maniki' ( maybe wait until you get home before you click on the link). Is it just me, or does that thing look like it'd be really uncomfortable, perky butt or not?

Bikini  say this really does work, though, and they have the testimonials to prove it, so I guess the question is, "Who wants to be the first to try it out?"

Barely Legal: The knickers Britney tried to steal. (Allegedly.)

Like these 'barely legal' Hustler briefs? Britney certainly did: in fact, she liked them so much that she allegedly tried to walk out the door with them, at the Hustler store on Sunset Strip. This is, of course, all gossip, so take it with a pinch of salt, but what proceeded this incident was even more bizarre, with Brit apparently asking to try the knickers on (People try on underwear before buying it? Really?), being refused, and then whipping off her own knickers (and hey, at least she was wearing some!) in the middle of the store and trying 'em on anyway. She then apparently tried to walk out without paying, but was stopped and had to cough up. Just another day in another bizarre Britney life...

Would you spend £90 on a pair of tights?

OK, so they're made from cashmere, silk and wool, and we're sure they feel very lovely when you wear them, but here's the thing: they're tights. Tights. Can they really be worth £90 (about $180), we wonder? Do people really pay that much for a pair of... tights?

Apparently people do, for these are designer tights by Maria La Rosa, and they're being sold at Browns for the bargain price of - yes, you guessed it - £90. Is it just us, that tends to put our hands through most pairs of tights as soon as we wear them, then? And who couldn't stand the thought of spending £90 on something that the dog would probably put his little sharp claws into and ruin at the first possible opportunity?

Well, is it? Tell us: would you pay £90 for tights? Is it worth it?

Sexy bras! (Not.)

How to turn a bra into a crime of fashion, in three easy steps:

1. Take an ordinary, inoffensive bra. Don't worry, it won't be staying like that for long!

2. Add some straps - no, not at the back, silly! No one will see them there! No, thread them up over your chest, criss-crossing them a few times to get the desired bondage-style effect. Now if you wear anything other than a turtle neck over the top, the straps will show, and you will look "sexy". You see?

3. Slick on some blue eyeshadow, to match the straps. Ah, go on, you know you want to!

Or, alternatively, just buy this very bra for £39.20 from Figleaves, who say the straps will make the bra "really stand out". Oh we know, Figleaves, we know...

Crime of Fashion: Two tone tights

I have a deep-seated horror of anything that could be described as "wacky" or "kerraazzzy!", so when I saw these two-toned tights over at Fashion Binge I almost recoiled from the screen. And to think it's not even Halloween yet! These are from American Apparel (who else?) and come in a whole slew of different colours. Good for court jesters, not so good for anyone else, no?

More Freaky Lingerie: The Favio Freedom Bra

If you thought the C-String was bad, how's about this, then? It's the Favio Freedom Bra, and it was designed to allow women with larger breast to enjoy the, er, freedom of a strapless bra. Now, we're all for things that prevent the "visible bra straps" fashion crime, but I'm still struggling to imagine how you'd actually wear this. (With a C-string, perhaps?)

The designer says she invented it after a couple of glasses of wine. It kinda shows...

On Trial: Over the Knee Socks

I've been seeing over-the-knee socks being sold everywhere lately, but I haven't actually seen them on many pairs of legs, which makes me think that although the trend is making a comeback, not a lot of people actually dare to wear it.

What do you think of over-the-knee socks? For myself, I like the look of them - on teenagers, who I think are really the only people who can can get away with these. To do them justice, they really need to be worn with a skirt short enough to allow the tops of the socks to be seen, and that would make that skirt a little too short for the likes of an old hag like me.

Do you wear them? Will you be buying any?
(If you will, the ones pictured are by Jonathan Aston, and are £14.97)

Wanted! Playsuit-style nightwear from La Senza

I'm never going to be buying into the whole playsuit trend, so it looks like this cute little apple print nighwear set from La Senza is the closest I'm ever likely to get. I'm not sure quite how comfortable a halterneck playsuit would be to actually sleep in, but £18 doesn't seem like too much to find out.

Wanted! Topshop#s itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini lingerie set

Sing it with me, people: "Sheeee woooore aaaaannnn...."  Now, tell me that you haven't always secretly desored a teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini of your own, just a little bit. You haven't? Fie on you! Well, I have, and while this one isn't actually a bikini but a lingerie set, I still love it (also: it's waaaay to cold here to even think about bikini's. Brrrr.) Although this particular image I've cobbled together makes this bikini look like a bit of a mutant, you're just going to have to trust me that's it not. Or, of course, you could take a look at the Topshop website and see for yourself.  £6 for the  briefs,  £12 for the bra.

Crime of Fashion: The C String

Another Fashion Police Facebook find for you, folks. This is the C-string, and I don't know about you, but it's scaring the bejeus outta me.

The makers of the C String say it's idea to wear with trousers, dresses - even swimwear. Yes, swimwear. We say it's so butt-clenchingly horrible that we'd rather just make do with the VPL, thanks very much. I mean, seriously - people are wearing these on the beach? In which country?

It's available from Lovehoney.co.uk., whose lingerie expert comments:
"With temperatures already soaring, C-String is the hottest way to keep cool this summer. As well as beinsexy, elegant and completely unique, it is also the nearest to naked a woman can get without going commando."

Sexy? Elegant? We'll give them "unique" because it's certainly that, but be honest, guys: would you wear a C-String?

Wanted! Wonderwoman vest and short set from Topshop

When I was a little girl, Wonder Woman was my absolute idol. In fact, you know what? She kind of still is. Anyway, my dad made me a crown out of some old tinfoil and a cereal packet, and - by a stroke of amazing good luck - my parents managed to find me a Wonderwoman vest and pants set, which I would wear with pride. So, of course, when I saw this set from Topshop I almost wet myself with excitement.

Anyway, it may not be from the much hyped Kate Moss range, but if you're thinking of joining the mad crush in Topshop this week as you struggle to get your hands on a Kate-inspired number, swing by the lingerie department and pick up one of these, too. Unlike Kate Moss, they will never stop being fun...

Crime of Fashion: VPL Bras at Shopbop

It's not the bras themselves I object to here (although I have to admit, they're not exactly rocking my world) - it's the presentation. And yes, I get that it's probably supposed to be witty, or ironic or something. But it's not really doing it for me. The poor, poor model...

Wanted! Absolutely Everything from the Accessorize Lingerie Department...

Having just booked my honeymoon (YES! YES! I AM GOING ON HONEYMOON! SOON! WOO HOOO!) I find myself suddenly obsessed - perhaps unhealthily so - with buying lingerie, and, more specifically, buying lingerie from Accessorize. See, I'm not much of a "lace stockings and suspenders" kind of a gal. No, I like my undies colourful and I like them fun. Hopefully I'll always feel like this, even when I am 91, but actually, probably not. Can you blame me, though? I mean, lookit! Fun, flirty and fashionable (oh the aliteration, it is embarrassing!), and also: cheap. See more after the jump, but just remember: these are MY pants (I mean "mine as in I'm totally going to buy them soon" not mine as in "ACTUALLY belonging to me") so don't y'all be buying them up now...

I Love My...Bright Green Knickers

I know this is much, much more information about me than you could ever want to know, but as I managed to wash all of my white underwear with the dark stuff last week, suddenly I find myself surfing around a lot of "intimates" sites. Lovely. I know these aren't white, so are about as useful a as an ashtray on a motorbike when it comes to replacing my white undies, but I couldn't resist them, and hey! Grey's, like, SO this season anyway, so all those washed out knickers will be right on trend!

But I digress. If, like me, you've always harbored a secret urge to walk around with the words "Come & Play" emblazoned on your backside, you'll find these for £8 at ASOS.
