Leave it up to Triumph International to develop another crazy publicity bra! We’ve seen the solar powered bra and the shopping bag bra, and now there’s a new “marriage hunting” bra. Called the Konkatsu Bra, it is meant to bring attention to Japan’s struggle to keep the birthrate up. The LCD panel displays the amount of time the wearer has left to marry (thankfully, the wearer herself can set the timer!). When you do get engaged, just push your engagement ring into the special heart between the cups, and the “here comes the bride” will play! There is a pen and stamp seal in pockets on the side of the bras, for use when filling out your marriage license application.

Of course, like all of Triumph’s publicity bras, this one is just for show, not for sale.

Panache has recently released a new fashion-inspired collection, Cleo, which is a perfect way to kick off the warmer months! A vibrant mix of scorching pink, coral, and turquoise make this collection of bra and panties an energetic, playful addition to your lingerie collection. It looks like the perfect summer foundation for women in cup sizes C-J.

The Cleo line isn’t mentioned on the Panache website, but retailers (like Figleaves UK, Limon Ivy, and Debenhams) are already rolling it out.

It’s time for another Looks for Less roundup! We are featuring ruffle bras this time. You know the drill – the more expensive versions are on the left, the “inspired by” pieces are on the right, and there are links under each set to websites where you can buy whichever version you choose.

Hopefully spring has sprung in your part of the world.  It has here in NYC and it has me in the mood for shopping!  If you are looking for a few new pieces to add to your lingerie wardrobe, try some of the new spring pieces from Lou Lingerie.  Beautiful, light, and airy, each range is well designed and exquisite.  There’s bound to be something that suits your fancy.

I absolutely adore the Origami collection!  This delicately embroidered, Japanese inspired collection 3 silhouettes – full cup, demi cup, and push up.  Each can be paired with a bikini, brief, or string also adorned with the embroidery.  What sets Origami apart is the sweet additions like ruffled straps and gauzy bows.

Tokyo is a delightful display of rich and vibrant colors!  Made of silk crepe, the combination of colors, prints, and textures make for a unique and alluring look.  I especially love the sassy, bum flattering Shorty!

Love Leavers lace?  Then you will love Cherry Blossom.  Shown in Azalea, this beautiful, classy set is also available in Ivory.  Perfect for the bride-to-be.

Lucky for you, there is even more to the collection.  Check out these and all the other ranges for yourself on the revamped Lou website.  While there, Magnifique!

Affinitas Intimates has been featured on TLP before for its stylish, sassy, and sexy sets, chemises, camis, and more.  They recently caught the eye of the editors over at Glamour who have featured the summery Joanna Balconnet Bra in its Dos and Don’ts of Going Bare spread.  Clearly, Joanna is definitely a Do!  This convertible bra is the perfect alternative to your basic black and nude under strapless tops and dresses.  Adding a matching thong or hipster won’t break the bank either.  You can have a complete set for $40 or less!  With a great price like that, you can buy another whole set.  Affinitas Intimates are available at retailers throughout the U.S. and online at Lauren Silva.
