Cougar Mama!

Kurv magazine, photos by Tony Duran

Normally we don't care for the phrase 'cougar' to describe a woman, but in this case, that is precisely what Brooke Shields is portraying in this photo shoot. Brooke is a 43-year-old mother of 2 and quite sexy in this shoot; almost unrecognizable in the first picture. It really goes to show that 40 is indeed the new 30!
We're not sure whose lingerie she's wearing, but it certainly works!

Pink Lady - Kylie Minogue

Kylie wearing a Cadolle corset

While visiting Pink Lemonade this morning, we found these adorable images of Kylie Minogue! They just seemed so 'frou-frou', and given that LA Shopping Reviews just compared our boutique to Sofia Coppolla's version of Marie Antoinette (which these pictures reminded us of), the images are a perfect fit for our blog.
If you visit the TOUS website, they have the most adorable video directed by Ellen von Unwerth of the 'making of' the photo shoot. You should certainly check it out!
To make this post officially lingerie-related, we included a picture of Kylie Minogue wearing a Cadolle corset (though you can't really see what she's wearing!).

Lingerie - Italian-Style

Isn't this the cutest photo shoot from Vanity Fair Italy?! These pictures feature Canadian model Kastyn Reid in a series of fun lingerie shots. These pictures make a day in lingerie seem very do-able! We like the idea of cooking pasta in a cute red bra & panty set. Don't you?

P.S. - If you click on the images, and have good eyesight, you can read the lingerie designer credits.
