I may be alone in this sentiment, but animal prints in fashion don’t generally light my fire. Leopard-print trench coats? Pass. Snake-print shoes? Pass. Tiger-striped scarves? Pass. Animal-print lingerie usually irritates me too: it can be a lazy design default for some mass-market brands, as though one of the higher-ups said “well, we’ve done white, […] Read more…
Picking up where we left off yesterday, today I want to share some of the beautiful lingerie that’s caught my eye that will fit those of you who wear cup sizes on the lower end of the spectrum. While some pieces will come in a wider size range, I’ve tried to make sure most will […] Read more…
I got to see so, so much lingerie at Curve! It was wonderful, and I love seeing what my favorite brands have in store for upcoming seasons, and what new brands just might become my new favorites (hint: probably Sunday Intimates), but it’s then kind of hard to go back and process everything!

She recently tried a new style by Parfait, and shortly thereafter Parfait reached out to me to offer another set for review, […] Read more…
It feels churlish to say this, but I almost wish some of the events of Lingerie Fashion Week had been scheduled differently. The first three events (the first runway show and first gallery presentation) were so unbelievably strong that they made it a bit hard for the later acts to follow. One of the later events […] Read more…
I know it’s a little pretentious and anglophilic for an American blog, but we’re gonna go with “knickers” here at Sweet Nothings. “Panties” and “underpants” are just sad, and “brief” and “thong” and such describe specific styles, so “knickers” is going to be our catch-all term for rear-covering undergarments.
