Shopping – Page 2 – Lace and Haze

So you want to gift someone special lingerie this Christmas but don’t know where to look? It can be quite daunting if you have never done it before but I’m here to help! If you are shopping for a partner, mother, friend or even for yourself, here are a few gift ideas for a range of budgets and styles.

Robes

Robes come in all different styles and fabrics, you can find one to suit everyone! The best thing about buying a robe as a present, is that you just have to roughly know the size of the gift receiver.

takemeaway_916_darkcharcoal_front — Fleur Intimates Take me away robe. $127 USD sizes S/M M/L L/L

160705_ap_classic_dressinggown_hero_111_1 — Classic Agent Provocateur Dressing gown $470 USD sizes 1-5 or XS-XL. This style also comes in black. Perfect present for all ages.

image1xl — Vero Moda Kimono $55 AUD and sizes XS-XL. Sold on ASOS.

Slips

Everyone needs a good slip in their life but for some reason its often overlooked. You can also never have too many as they can be used as sleepwear, outerwear, under dresses as lingerie and in the boudoir!

hq9a1342-edit_long_edit_1024x1024 — Silk Laundry short 90’s emerald slip is $169 AUD and comes in sizes XS-XL. Amazing quality silk and comes in lots of different colours.

v556756 — Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Lace-trim slip $58 AUD and comes is sizes XS-XL and in 11 colours.

757469_in_xl — Carine Gilson lace-trimmed floral-print silk-satin chemise. This comes in at $1469 AUD and only is available in small and medium via Net-a-porter.

Chokers

Chokers are very much the “It” item this season and are a good choice for someone who is a bit more open with their style. They are great as a stocking filler or secret Santa present.

asobi_burtn_red_collar_1024x1024 — The Asobi collar from Bordelle is $110 AUD and comes in 4 colours. This can be purchased online or at babylikestopony in Sydney.

anita-choker-clear-karolina-laskowska-lingerie_grande — Karolina Laskowska Anita satin choker. Available in 5 colours and is only one size as it is adjustable. $42 AUD.

alexandrea-anissa-ramona-choker_large — Alexandrea Anissa Ramona Choker. Comes in one size. $20 AUD.

The full set

The hardest thing to buy is the full set. Between getting the sizes right and finding the right style it can seem overwhelming. First off look through her underwear draw and find the bra and undies she wears the most and seem to be the best fit. Write down the sizes and brand and take a photo of the styles so you can gauge what you think she will like when yore confronted with the crazy shops before Christmas! Second, make sure you find a balance between what she will like and what you like. If she isn’t comfortable in the style she won’t wear it! Last check the return policy of where you are shopping just in case after all your effort it doesn’t work. Here are a few sets you can find online that may tickle her fancy.

juliet_full_bust_1024x1024 — The Juliet set from Playful Promises. Bra $116 Brief $45 and Girdle $68 AUD. This style is available in a huge array of sizes. Its part of the main collection, Fuller Bust collection and the curve collection.

suspender-garter-belt-6-strap-black-bizarre-ct_1_large — What Katie Did Bizarre Lingerie set. Bra $85 suspender $60 and knickers $33 AUD. Sizes 10 to 18 for bottoms and bras 10C-10F, 12B-12F, 14B-14F and 16B-16E.

eleanor_grey_suspender_belt_front — Harlow and Fox Eleanor Set. bra $176 suspender $155 and Briefs $99 USD. sizes XS-XL and bras 30-38 D, DD, E, F, FF and G. This collection also has a half slip, robe and tap pants, perfect if you really wanted to go all out!

Little bits and pieces

If you are still not sure about actually buying lingerie as a gift, here a few lingerie related items that I promise will go down well as I’m speaking from personal experience!

kisskill_0523_c1ef0437-3ec9-4a25-8205-727192740d9a_large — Silk eye mask from Kiss Kill. There are 2 other options in this style one saying ‘go away’ and my personal favourite ‘fuck off’. this retails for $39.95 AUD.

blue-temple-brakitty-brabag-bracase-women-travel-bra-bag-accessories-lingerie-protector-2016-vegan-summer-trends-canada-toronto-1-year-warranty_ecb686e7-e21a-472a-9bbb-1e151f39494c_large — Brakitty travel case. Perfect for protecting your lingerie in your bag. Lots of different designs available. $49.99 USD

what_katie_did_stocking_bag-ct — Stocking storage bag from What Katie Did. Perfect case to stop your nylons snagging while stored. $25.50 AUD

dsc_1553_1024x1024 — Silk laundry silver silk pillowcase. Amazingly soft to sleep on and an excellent gift to receive. They come in ivory as well as rose. $109 AUD for a pair.

So all of the above is available to purchase online. I would recommend purchasing no later than the 5th of December to avoid disappointment! Some websites have the dates up when you need to order by to receive it in time. If shopping online isn’t your thing, your options are limited but you’ll hopefully have an expert in store to help you. If you are in Melbourne, visit Kiss Kill. If you are Sydney based I highly recommend Baby likes to pony. The department stores are quite good for last-minute gifts. If you go to David Jones you’ll find brands such as Lonely, Simone Perele and Agent Provocateur at the bigger stores. At Myer you will find Pleasure State, Sass and Bide and Palindrome.

Hopefully this has help some of the people who have asked me about buying lingerie for a partner!!!!!

Happy shopping.
