Sally Jones is an Australian lingerie designer who excels in every piece she designs. Her aim to is design luxury lingerie that is unique and a one off item. She achieves it with perfection and has just released details of her 2010 collection. I have to say it is an outstanding achievement.

There are eleven designs in her 2010 collection which all need a good look in however my two favourites are Madame Coco which is peach silk mixed with ivory lace, the set would be perfect for your wedding day or honeymoon and I am inclined to think that Sally Jones have taken the inspiration from an elegant 1950′s icon.

My next favourite set is Tiffany which is really  stunning and is  black lace teamed with black satin and silk, finished off with velvet trims and diamontes. Do be sure to have to a look at the other sets which include addiction of Audery, Bardot and Charlotte Grey as these are equally as stunning and prove that Sally Jones is good at what she does.

International  lingerie company Bendon is hinting at one of their collections for 2010. It will be aimed at the larger breasted woman with an emphasis on fashion as well as size. The collection will be called Dimity So and will feature bras of a D to J size.

I like Bendon simply for their comfort range of lounge and sleep wear.It appears numerous other people do as well because  Bendon are  reporting on target sales in an economic crises that is the worse since the great depression of the 1930′s. This is really quite strange as they have not released a collection for two years and have only just expanded into Europe. Perhaps the fact that they expanded into Europe and have not seen an increase in sales says it all.

I won’t be shopping from their new Dimity So range for bras as I am only a 34b, apparently a diminishing size in this current world where women are meant to be getting bigger by the day. Never the less I look forward to seeing this mixture of fashion and comfort for the larger breasted woman. I have plenty of friends who may secretly be pleased.

We are constantly surprised at the sensual  lingerie that John Galliano manages to design and produce. Lingerie is just one of his many collections and the sneak previews of his Spring 2010 sensual lingerie collection shows that he has pulled it off again.

The designer has won designer of the year three times, in 1987, 1994 and 1995. In 1997 he shared the award with Alexander McQueen, of course this was for his overall contribution towards fashion however we can see that he puts the same amount of effort into his sensual  lingerie collections as he does his other ranges.

The Spring Lingerie collection for 2010 from John Galliano is a mixture of pale blues, pinks and creme teamed with old fashioned lace to product striking garmets. His inspiration for his sensual lingerie work he says is “the aim to seduce” and we can see this in every lingerie collection that John brings out. Well done John and keep them coming.

French lingerie all under one roof comes to us in a website called “Luxury French Lingerie.”  Sometimes when I am not in the mood for surfing the net or trailing from store to store then I love to have everything in one place so I can shop at my own pace. Luxury French Lingerie has  designer’s collection on one website that makes for easy shopping.  They also have a special section to guide men on what to buy for their wives,  gift vouchers are available as it is luxury wrapping.  I think this is one website to accidentally leave open if you want a nice Christmas present!

I love this collection displayed on their website. The Rosa Kasiopea bra, briefs, suspender belt, choker and thongs. Ideal for everyday wear or even on your wedding day.

Romantic lingerie accounts for about 50% of lingerie purchases both in high street stores and on the internet. Both men and women buy romantic lingerie however there is a fine line between romantic lingerie and lingerie that screams lust. There are some very simple ways to distinguish the two and they are  style, colour and material.

Looking at style first, then the best tip to help you when you are looking for romantic lingerie is at the same time look for elegant lingerie. Elegant lingerie means no holes where they are not needed, no chains, no studs and no zips. All these styles are  for  racy, lustful  lingerie. I am sure you know this already but just to clarify as well. No teddy  bears or large flowers either, these are known as comfort pyjamas and suit a ten-year old child more. Just remember elegant lingerie means simple.

Colour is a very important thing to remember as it is  known to send a message to our brains and have an effect on our moods and reactions.  Romantic lingerie should be  various tones of red, pink, purple or  blue.  Of course the most romantic colour is red,  think of 12 red roses, love hearts  and valentines day. Two colours definitely not suited to romantic lingerie is green and greys. Green signifies mothering, grey is dull and provokes no reaction at all.

Material is perhaps the biggest decider.  PVC, leather, cotton are all a definite no no  when it comes to Elegant lingerie. Silk however screams romance  and it is definitely a winner. If you like lace then more importantly apply the first two rules of style and colour first.

I hope these top tips help you, the market on romantic lingerie is so big that you can have a field day choosing. Just be sure to follow the rules above and you will find yourself looking elegant and romantic for the special man in your life.
