Intimate Moments

(Lace trimmed camisole set from Juicy Couture)

I have always been obsessed with sleepwear and let me tell you why. Love lace, love tulle, love satin, love sweet little things and where else can you indulge in all things girly and flirty then in your own boudoir!

Slipping on a soft silk satin camisole and to feel its buttery threads caressing the curves of your body is already foreplay step 1. What happens after that is then left to your imagination….

Therein lay the secrets of being a woman. We have this innate ability to sprits ourselves with flowery notes of confidence and sensuality wherever and whenever the situation warrants it. The one tool we use to do that is putting on irresistible inner-wear.

There are so many types to choose from – the more expensive ones that can cost you your half month salary or the more affordable ones that…well…can be purchased for daily use. But for that special occasion, come on, live a little…splurge!

Designers have been conjuring up swaths and wisps of pastel and candy coloured camisoles, loungewear and briefs to the delight of the fashion-conscious fashionista. I love what Stella McCartney does with inner-wear. She’s English and leave it to them to tamper with pastel colours for a frothy finish. This chemise is named the Clara Whispering Chemise and how fitting with its intricate lace and body cut-outs, it is sure to please your other half.

Marni was thinking polka-dots when she designed this camisole. I love that this camisole can be worn in the bedroom but come to think of it, you could wear this underneath a white business suit to chisel off the hard edge and put a little feminity to your ensemble.

But if romping around your boudoir is what gives you the kicks, then, this playsuit from Mimi Holliday is what you want. Tie a red silk ribbon around your waist and you’ve set the mood for a playful chase before lights out.

And for you new brides or brides-to-be, I’m sure the all important shopping you have to do would be a trip to the lingerie department. Don’t sweat it. I’ve got the perfect first-night ensemble. You’ve worked so hard all these months to get your body in shape to wear THE dress and to look your best in the pictures that will be taken as a lifetime memory, right? So, why hide that great body under layers of cloth. All you need is a little teaser and the perfect one is this snow white silk tulle brief with a bow from Damaris (pictured below). That’s all you need to wear…. and it will be a night you will never forget!
