Hump Day

Alert!  Alert!  Panty post below :) 

Hump day...that phrase always makes me giggle like a school girl.  Immature I know...to add to the silliness I am featuring some very fancy knickers today.

Why is that British women have much nicer lingerie than we do?  I want to shop till I drop at the online lingerie Boutique - Glamorous Amorous.  Lucky for us they ship stateside.  Lingerie lines like Ell & Cee and Strumpet & Pink will amaze you.   So if you are in the market for a fancy pair of knickers for your honeymoon then look no further.

          Valentines day from A to Z. 

It's nice to get a little something special on valentines day.  It was always the homemade valentines day card that stole my heart when I was a little girl, and when it comes to matters of the heart, it's the thought that counts.

Hand made valentines cards are the best.  If you find yourself lacking in imagination then I suggest hitting up PaperSource.  These are especially cute...

Stumped on what to write in your card? Use someone else's words.  I won't tell ;)

My Honey Bee

Drink the nectar of Greek gods with me
Of the sweetness that’s near to me
My flower child
Buzz in my ear
Sweet songs of passion
Surround me with kisses and sighs
Fly into this lovely space
Come to me with smiles
And tell me no lies
Tell me tales of hope and joy
Filled with our dreams
And that you need me
And must have me
And be with me forever…


-Ben Youngblood 1997

There is nothing like a little Neruda on Valentines day....

 

Love Sonnet XVII

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving

but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

Pablo Neruda (1904 – 1973)

OK,  we covered what to wear under your wedding gown, but what to wear on your wedding night and honeymoon?  Now this is where you can have some fun...

I was so pooped after my wedding all I really felt like doing was putting on a pair of pajamas and crashing.  But you can't do that!  Not on your wedding night!

Here are few pretty pieces, and a couple that are a little bit naughty, and sure to surprise your husband. Now, if your reading this and thinking "Not my man!  He doesn't think that kind of stuff is sexy, he thinks I look sexy in my granny panties"   Well, maybe he does think you look sexy in your granny panties,and maybe you do, but I'm telling you that there isn't a straight man out there who wouldn't be over the moon to find his lady in bed with a big bow on her tush and nothing else.  Everyone loves a good present ;)

Wedding knickers

This week is underwear week!  Yay!  Watch out, you  might find your fiance suddenly interested in wedding planning if he lays his eyes on this post...

Knickers, panties, undies, unmentionables...whatever you want to call them, the undergarments you select are an essential part of your wedding wardrobe.  An ill fitting bra or too tight pair of knickers can ruin your look.  You spent a lot of money on that gown! Do it justice with quality undergarments.  Besides, pretty and well fitting lingerie will make you feel confident and sexy.

 You say Macaroon I say macaron...drool...

After such a long and exhausting day, head back to your hotel with husband in tow, you didn't forget about him did you?   Sip some champers and slip into something a little more comfortable...I'm sure this will do...

Bon Nuit!
