Let's face it - there are two types of women - those who obsessively buy lingerie as they would any other part of their wardrobe or beauty routine, and those who buy it out of necessity and don't particularly care about the style. Fantasie is a line that bridges this gap well, creating gorgeously crafted styles that perform their function well.

The Victoria's Secret fashion show doesn't offer up anything radically different year to year - gorgeous women in frilly lingerie that never actually hits the sales floor, which makes it pretty much like every other runway show. With all that being said, it's always exciting to dream big, dream sexy, and hope that someday someone will magically put a pair of sky-high stilettos and angel wings on you for your stomp down the runway. The official show airs December 3 at 10pm est on CBS.

There are a few things nearly every woman dreamed of as a little girl - the big white wedding, great accessories, and luxurious lingerie. One of the first things I'll do when I received bucketloads of money (after all the boring things like paying bills) will be to purchase as many fancy-pants sets of matching lingerie. Fauve By Fantasie is a line that instills such aspirational hope as the latest Gucci handbag. These pieces are sophisticated, delicate, and oh so covetable. Warning: Only click through the gallery below if you want a serious case of lust.

What kind of fashion/celebrity blogger would I be if I didn't take a break from regularly scheduled On The Plus Side coverage to bring you the latest in Dita Von Teese photos. In case you missed our first look at Dita Von Teese X Wonderbra collaboration, here are the official publicity postcards for the launch. She's alluring yet approachable, gorgeous but not unattainable - it is The Science of Sexy and she's cracked the code. Check out the official Science of Sexy video for more!

I don't usually like to hail a product as the next greatest thing, but in this case, I just can't help myself.
Remember that day with all the falling? Well without the Miracle Suit High Waist Thigh Slimmer, the whole world would have seen my goodies and some un-goodies. Combine multiple falls with laying on xray tables and you have a day made for flashing disasters.
I've always been the kind of gal to feel a bit uncomfortable in skirts and dresses. Don't get me wrong, I love to wear them, but I'm always worried about my thighs rubbing together or the sudden breeze blowing my skirt up for the whole neighborhood to see.
I'm not going to lie - this thing is serious. The tag says you can look like you lost 10 pounds, and that's probably true. I love the smoothing effect almost more than I love the slimming aspect. Who wants their lumps and bumps on display for everyone to see. However, I do highly recommend you allow extra time for the bathroom - in both getting there and leaving. Due to the intense nature of this garment, the first couple of times you put it on, you will be frustrated (I'm not going to lie). But after you see the incredible results, you'll be willing to put up with the added effort.
I also love that I no longer have to worry about my thighs rubbing together. Since this shaper covers both my thighs and my tummy area, I feel neatly tucked, secure, and rub free. Now everytime I wear a dress or skirt, you can bet a Sephora giftcard that I am wearing my Miracle Suit.
Where else can you get that kind of comprehensive insurance for $40? Even AllState can't cover your rear.

Honestly, we find these rumors absurd, though recent behavior makes it slightly believable. Perez Hilton and Fashion Week Daily are both reporting that Lily Allen is to be the next face of Agent Provocateur. In a recent Daily Mail interview, it was reported Allen visited a hypnotherapist to slim down and says her new addiction is exercise. The photos accompanying the article show a sleek and newly glammed version of the pop songstress.
Maggie Gyllenhaal has been the face of the lingerie line since September, while Catherine Bailey appears in the latest ads. To complete the four part series, new ads will launch in January & April, though the retailer won't comment on the campaign stars.
(click through for the full story) I've been blessed (or cursed, depending upon how you look at it) since a young age, so I've spent the majority of my adult life struggling to find a well-fitting bra, "making do" and just plain being uncomfortable. When I viewed the Elomi Spring 2009 line firsthand today, it was like a breath of fresh air. Even if you're not as naturally blessed as I, you will still find the images incredibly stunning.
