Go. Now. Don’t walk, run!

It’s the most expensive bra I’ve ever heard of and I haven’t a clue where I’d wear it, but this 6.5 million dollar, 800 carat diamond studded lovely is something I sure wouldn’t mind owning.  It was created by Hearts on Fire exclusively for Victoria’s Secret and contains more than 2000 diamonds.

Of course, as soon as Christmas is just around the corner, all the sales turn to Valentine’s. And in the lingerie world, that means big business. One of my favorite retailers, Figleaves, has some great lingerie ideas for Feb 14th. Like this Flirtation frill bra from SpoyIt:

Padded balcony cup, underwire, stretch silk chiffon and a central bow and ruffled detail.

Now normally I am not taken in by advertising hype and just to be contrary I make a point of not buying things that are advertised heavily. But sometimes it just sounds too good to be true and I’ve got to check it out. That’s what the ITEC Bra sounded like to me. So I went in to La Senza and tried it on. I wasn’t meaning to purchase anything, I was just trying it on so I could give an opinion. But the ITEC bra has to be one of the most comfortable bra’s I have ever purchased.  It’s advertised as the no seam, no stretch  invisible bra. Mostly I agree but I do have a minor 2 disputes with those claims:
1)  No Seam:  yes the bra has no seams, but ring where the the straps in the front connect to the bra are slightly noticeable under some shirts
2)  No Stretch:  I have experienced a minor about of stretching. I used to clip the back in the middle, now I clip it using the smallest option. But I have never known a material that doesn’t have some sort of give to it.

Like I said minor disputes and the bra is so comfortable that nothing that makes me regret buying an ITEC bra.  It is the most comfortable bra in my drawer.  Although I do have to caution anyone who is larger than a C cup. The straps are super skinny, which makes them easy to hide, but they might cut into your shoulders.

My final opinion: An awesome bra, extremely comfortable. I recommend it.  Oddly enough it cannot be found on the Canadian La Senza site, so you’ll have to go in store to buy it.  In store they have a few variations of the bra pictured. More colors and a lacey overlay.  It can be found on the La Senza UK Site though.

I’ve been on the search for comfortable pajama pants. I am picky though, I don’t like lace, satin, elastics or anything else binding for sleeping in. Cotton all the way. And the colors have to be dark.  So I headed up to one of the malls here to check out the lingerie stores.  I was very pleasantly surprised by the colors I saw. Vibrant
jewel bright tones greeted my eyes. I didn’t find the pants I was looking for, but the colors did entice me to purchase this lovely paprika bra by Roselle at La Vie en Rose. And to make matters even better, since I wasn’t shopping for a new bra in the first place, La Vie
was having a 2 for 1 sale on Roselle bras. So I also picked up a black lacey number too.

Now here’s a handy thing to have around to keep your bra straps from showing. Embrace, it’s a little plastic disc that will convert your favorite bra into a racer back/cross back style. Yay! no more straps. And as an added benefit it also increases support and shape. Its available online for both USA and Canada and in select stores in Canada

Heidi Klum is making the tour to promote her new bra called "The Body" bra. Heidi is the spokesperson for the new bra, as she was called "The Body" within the industry, so this bra was named for her (by Victoria’s Secret). Apparently some other models, most specifically Elle McPherson, are totally pissed that Heidi has called herself ‘The Body’, claiming the title as their own.

Heidi Klum may just be the hardest working woman in fashion. She’s a world famous model, the host and executive producer of the hit reality show "Project Runway," and she’s expecting her third child.

As if that’s not enough, she has signed on to be the spokeswoman of the new Body Bra by Victoria’s Secret and face of the campaign in her spare time…

And this is probably one bra that every woman wants to have because it is so comfortable. It comes eight different colors, it has no seams, no stitches. It is not the super sexy, lacy bra, but this is something functional that you want to have every day that is super comfortable and just great."

This Crochet racerback Bra Top from Victoria’s Secret is very sexy

The sexy basic gets spicy with crochet detail. Hidden shelf bralette for support with no show-through. Crochet trim.

It’s also one of the bra tops on sale right now, so that’s a good incentive. It’s regularly $32, on sale on it’s own for $25, but $20 if you buy two tops. Phew.

I’m going to call it the "Gisele Bundchen" bra, even though it really is the "Ipex Wireless" bra. It’s from Victoria’s Secret.

Ipex Wireless is a heaven of a bra – it supports but without the pinch. Very superior to most that try to be this way. However, the bra does look better on Giselle than just held up ;)

Fashion Forms Plunge Bra

This bra is the solution to low cut dresses that still have straps. It gives you the perfect cupping for that needed structure and cleavage, but without seeming to do so.

The straps are convertible for various dresses & shirts.

Price: $28

Sports bras. Ah, could totally make me go bonkers. I have absolutely never found one that worked for me. Oh well.

Anyway, an UK sports bra company called Shock Absorber has come up with a bouncing breast simulator. Yep, you get to watch boobies jiggle. hehe.

Plug in a cup-size and a level of activity, and it produces a 3D animation of breasts of that size bouncing free, bouncing in a regular bra, and hardly moving at all in one of their sports-bras. Extra geeky bonus points for including a 3D wireframe view, so you can see the pure physics of the jiggle.

As you can see, I’ve been rather inspired by Victoria’s Secret lately. Goes on like that, I suppose. Here is one I like – velvet & lace push up bra – even though it’s not really my style.

It features graduated pads to create an accentuated push-up, more toward the centre than a regular push up would do. Also includes crystal and velvet details.

Very Sexy is right. This push up bra and garter skirt thong are from Victoria’s Secret, and indeed are called "Very Sexy".

I’d wear these anyday. They are so so hot. I love so much it’s hard to know where to start.

The bra is a push up without padding, for us gals that have enough but just want the oomph, you know? Comes with sexy lace, floral and scroll rhinestone detailing on the bra, and with lace and chiffon on the lacey gorgeous garters.

What do you think? "Very Sexy"?
