Continuing with our summer reviews, here are Katie’s thoughts on the swapping site, The Big Wardrobe:

The Big Wardrobe

Last week I reviewed the curated (read: members only) reFashioner site and today I’ll talk a bit about the ‘free for all’ swap site the Big Wardrobe.
Big Wardrobe started out as a pure clothing  swap site but now there’s a lot more going on.  Not only can  you swap, offer cash or a combination of both  (if you upgrade your account -£12 a year,  you can sell your things for cash otherwise it’s swap only) and at any given time there are approximate 85,000 pieces available.  They are attempting to cover all bases: men, women, kids, books, dvds, electronic… well you get the picture, just about anything post-able you have hanging about the house is fair game.  

Big Wardrobe is about a year old and like life, it’s not quite perfect (it’s no longer truly free and to do anything but the basic swap requires paid membership and  a lot things are cash only). The issue of swaplifting (someone who arranges a swap, then never complete their end of the transaction, thus getting something for nothing) has occurred but Big Wardrobe have it under control and even have a list of deactivated offenders and their aliases.

For certain categories, it’s worth looking to other sites -for make-up try Make Up Alley. Ok, so it’s not lingerie, but we all love a bit of make-up to go with our fabulous boudoir bargains!

Big Wardrobe is a great place to find bargains and the search engine in the middle of the homepage site works pretty well. If you have a favourite brand, you have the the opportunity to search for it once you’ve chosen a category.  Other positives are: everyone and just about everything is welcomed and it’s worldwide (though primarily U.K./U.S.).  This is really a fantastic site for people more interested in different styles than in brand names (the bulk is found under  “other”) making it a browsers paradise!

Want to try you hand at Big Wardrobe swapping?

Here’s How To Play:

1. Register and become a member of Bigwardrobe.com
2. List your items… add a description and up to 3 photos.
   ( fashion related -including cosmetics & accessories, or unwanted media, electronics, toys, games etc.)
3. Decide if you want to swap or sell your item.
   NOTE: To sell you must upgrade your membership  – £12 annually
4. Finalise your listing and upload it to the BIG Wardrobe
5. Other people can now rummage through your stuff.
6. If a member sees something they like… they can:
   • a) propose a swap for something they have listed on BW
   • b) offer to buy your item for cash
   • c) propose a ‘Combo’ offer (e.g. their jeans plus £10 for your item)
7. When you accept an offer – BW will send you contact details for each other.
8. Make contact and agree (between yourselves) all payment and postage arrangements.
9. The member with the lowest feedback score always posts their item(s) / pays first.
10. If you owe money, pay promptly by either cheque or PayPal.
11. If you need to send something by post – ONLY use Recorded Delivery or a similar track-able service.
    NOTE: If you don’t send by this postal method your parcel can’t be traced if it becomes lost.
12. When your item(s) and/or money arrives, remember to leave feedback for the other member.

We at TLP love Affinitas for many reasons.  First, it is both fashion forward and affordable.  (And in today’s economy, it is good to know we can still be sexy without breaking the bank!).  Second, Affinitas has expanded its lovely and wallet-friendly designs to sizes D-G (which personally makes me beyond happy!).  The newest reason we love the brand is for its new range of panties.

Affinitas Packaged Panties, available in hipster and thong styles, are great for the gal on the go!  Available in cute, butterfly adorned packages, these panties are easily transportable and perfect to toss in your bag for the gym or a weekend getaway.  However, they are also perfect as your every day go tos.  Each 3-pack retails for $28 and includes panties in color combos of ivory, nude, and black or aqua, hot pink, and turquoise!

Affinitas Packaged Panties are slated to hit stores any day now.  They will be sold at a number of retailers nationwide as well as online at Her Room and Azucena Lingerie.  (Keep checking!)

It won't be much longer before the Fall/Winter 2010 lingerie collections hit the sales floor, so in preparation for the up-coming season we're going to whet your appetite with a sneak peek of the latest from U.K. brand Mint Siren. This sleek new collection will make its official debut in September 2010, in which designer Josefine Wing features a beautiful combination of black and gold intimates. We love how the pieces were styled with a definite ready-to-wear vibe...we wish we could walk around work like this (ahem, we would like the model's body too if that were to happen). Overall there's a lot of gold lace embellishment and metal detailing on Mint Siren's pieces, and swimwear has been added to the mix with a black denim bikini.
Which piece will be going on your wish list? You can shop the Mint Siren Summer collection here.

A little over a year ago, the Florrie Mitton label was born (on Etsy) and now it's the must-have label for bridal garters. And these aren't just any garters, Florrie Mitton hand-makes exquisite little treasures from the most beautiful silk satins, lace, tulle and chiffon. Furthermore, most pieces are adorned with a special little detail, whether it be a vintage rhinestone garland or a sweet sparkling charm. Most of the garters are reminiscent of the grandeur of yesteryear from the Gilded Age to the early 20th-Century influences of Art Deco. This makes sense considering the brand was named after and influenced by the designer's great grandmother.
Each Florrie Mitton garter is handmade in the UK and come presented in a keepsake gift box. With a garter as beautiful as these, you may not want to toss it!
You can now purchase Florrie Mitton at Faire Frou Frou! Click here to purchase.

Longtime Knickers readers will know that I suffer from that awful, painful malaise known as “chub rub,” where the tops of your thighs rub together uncomfortably when you’re walking. It’s an embarrassing, painful, and little talked-about problem that makes women feel awful about themselves and keeps us out of the clothes that we like. Chub rub robbed me of the ability to wear dresses for many years of my life, until finally, I discovered thigh shaping shorts early last year – I’ve worn nothing but dresses ever since!

While I love my thigh shapers, I was delighted to see that there’s another product now out designed to help with chub rub – Thigh Society’s shorts for women. Made of cotton, these shorts aren’t shapewear — they are purely there to keep your legs cool and comfortable if you’re wearing a skirt. I tried out two pairs, and here’s how I got on:

Get Them At: Thigh Society
Price: $37.99 CAD
Colour: Black, White and Nude (new)
Size: S-4XL

I have to admit, it took me a while to get used to wearing non-shapewear shorts. I’ve practically lived in my Maidenform thigh shapers for the past year, so these shorts initially felt way too loose. I also found that the shorts tended to ride up a little bit, which eventually gave me the same chub rub problems.

After talking to Thigh Society about my problems, they recommended I go a size down – this helped tremendously, and made the shorts jump from “okay” to “great” in my book. The smaller size felt comfortably in-place, didn’t ride up, and finally showed me that I don’t have to wear shapewear every day to combat my chub rub! The only slight niggle I had left was that the legs could be slightly longer, for that extra little bit of thigh coverage.

I tend to wear my Thigh Society shorts for casual use – running to the shops, padding around the house, anytime that I can’t be bothered to wrangle myself into my shapewear shorts. They are softer, cooler, and more comfortable than shapewear, and are a god-send for me; every time i’m pawing through my underwear drawer and pull out my Thigh Society shorts, I have a little internal sigh of relief — ahh, i know i’ll be comfortable. That might be a little difficult to understand if you don’t suffer from chub rub, but those women who do will know exactly the kind of frustration that i’m talking about!

In a lot of ways, Thigh Society shorts are like a pair of your boyfriend’s boxers, but adapted for a woman. If you walk right past the skirts and dresses because you think you can never wear them, definitely give Thigh Societies a try – you might find yourself with a whole new wardrobe!

The last time we saw a shift towards lingerie as outerwear was the 1980s, and while I exude a general disdain for that decade I can't help but admit that certain fashion elements which emerged from it do have a place in this decade and the next. And so it is that we see various pieces of underwear return to the fore as outwear to feature amongst 2009 and 2010 fashion trends. And in many ways this may become one of the ubiquitous fashion trends; one that is transseasonal, and one that emerges as we pay fresh attention to tights and stockings as a feature piece, and not just an accessory, courtesy of the ripped stockings trend...

So sometimes we don’t have time to handwash our favorite bras and panties.  We know better than to just toss them in the washing machine as is, but what is the alternative?  Well, one alternative is the newly launched Berry Ball!    See below for more details.

Are you tired of pulling out damaged, twisted, tangled bras from the washing machine, but don’t have time to hand wash? If you’re anything like most women, you know you shouldn’t toss your bras into the wash, but do it anyways because it’s quick and easy. Enter the NEW Berry Ball & Berry Bag from Berry Perry, launching Summer 2010. This complete laundry solution set is specifically designed to care for lingerie quickly, easily and effectively, offering solutions not only for bras, but for underwear, hosiery, socks, swim and other delicates as well. The set comes available in sizes Small and Large to accommodate cup sizes 32A – 38D, in colors Pink, Purple or Blue. The Berry Ball & Berry Bag delivers in stores & e-retailers (including ComfortHouse.com and N-fini.com) throughout the United States beginning April 15th, 2010, at a suggested retail price of $13.99.

While throwing bras into the wash will result in twisting, deforming, puncturing, underwire damage, pilling, scratching, tangling and more, bras are protected throughout the entire wash cycle safe inside the Berry Ball, maintaining shape, comfort and support. The Berry Ball additionally features a unique Scrubbing Ball specifically designed to clean bra cups from the inside, creating friction to both clean and aid in dissolving detergent as well. Lose one too many socks in the wash? With your underwear, hosiery, socks and other delicates safely enclosed inside the Berry Bag, you never have to worry about losing another sock or pair of underwear in the washing machine again (and say good-bye to pulling out stretched, runned and twisted hosiery!). When not in use, easily hang the Berry Ball with an attached strap, or even use as convenient bra storage.ry about pesky security going through your unmentionables again!sult.

Going on vacation? Don’t stuff your bras into the bottom of your suitcase where they will inevitably be crushed. Tuck safely into the Berry Ball for a smart, convenient storage and travel item, and arrive at your destination with your bras still in tact. And – never wor

The Berry Ball has undergone extensive research & development to be sure the product is 100% safe in your washing machine, so it will not cause damage to your machine or your clothes. Additionally, the product features closures in addition to a backup clasp, so it will never pop open mid-cycle. For best results, put only 1 bra in the Berry Ball at a time, however multiple Berry Balls may be washed in each load. While the Berry Bag is dryer-safe, never put the Berry Ball into the dryer – be sure to hang the product and your bras to dry. The Berry Ball and Bag complete laundry solution set truly lets you save valuable time by using the washing machine, while yielding a delicate, hand-wash result.

According to a recent global COIN survey commissioned by international lingerie brand Triumph, it was revealed that 78% of UK women have concerns with their bust. Sagging breasts was the major issue with 46% of women in the UK concerned about this (and 32% of women globally1). In addition, a second national survey, revealed that half of us (49%) would like to change the size our breasts and many of us, especially in London, are envious of our friends’ breasts.

With 124 years of perfecting the female silhouette, it's no surprise that Triumph is highly accomplished in working wonders with curves. So this summer, Triumph is answering the concerns of women around the world with the launch of the nation’s first ever regime developed solely for the bust, by No.1 Boot Camp, Triumph Boobcamp.

Developed exclusively for Triumph by ex Military instructors at leading fitness camp No.1 Boot Camp and sport music experts AudioFuel, the bustercise regime targets the bust and the back for optimum results. Combining audio instruction with energizing music that has a beat to match, the 30 minute session is designed to tone and firm the muscles that support the bust area. This unique routine, done regularly will help prevent a sagging bust line and avoid back pain.

The audio regime is available free to download to your MP3 player so you can easily do the work out at home, in the park or in the gym. At the same time, enter the exclusive prize draw to win a week at No.1 Boot Camp.

Any sports regime requires specialist underwear and 30 years ago, Triumph engineered the first Triumph Tri-Action bra which offers specialised cushioning, extra flat seaming and binding, combined with high performance fabrics which keep you cool when the going gets hot. After your work out, celebrate your new curves with Triumph’s new Shape Sensation series which is dedicated to celebrating, enhancing and defining natural curves with nine pieces of sculpting lingerie which help shape a gorgeous décolleté, a slim waist, a flat tummy and a perky posterior.

No.1 Boot Camp is the UK’s leading fitness camp for all ages and fitness levels. Set in a unique country house setting, using inspirational military trainers, it’s designed not only to achieve amazing weight loss but also to learn new fitness and nutrition habits to transform your life. At any Fitness Bootcamp you can overcome physical or mental challenges and push yourself way beyond your limitations. It's an unforgettable, life-changing experience.
