Pajamas and nightshirts fly off the shelves at Secret Drawers Lingerie at this time of year. Everyone is looking for fun and fashionable ways to lounge around the Christmas tree, it seems. It's not a problem where we're concerned because we have several lines, including Blush, to see you through.

Blush is brought to you by an entrepreneurial family with over 50 years experience in the lingerie business. While they may be known for their more intimate apparel, their sleepwear also does them justice.

On the right is one design of the Molly pj set. These pjs have a 26 inch top and a 32 inch bottom. The fun polka dots are accented by pretty pink piping.

There are two other Blush Molly pj set designs: tapestry (seen left) and plaid (not shown). The deep blue and white tapestry design is also adorned with pink detailing.

Pjs not your thing? No problem. These Blush designs are also available in a nightshirt version. The Blush sleepshirts are 36 inches long. All designs are available in S - XL.

The simple, casual lines of Princess Tam Tam are out to replace that favorite, worn-in t-shirt you wear to bed. Princess Tam Tam calls it Homewear and we think it will fit right in any home.

The Latte, seen right, is in a classic styling scoop-neck with sophisticated back strap crossover detailing. There is a tiny medal mid-back to set off the design. Delicate lines skim the female frame.

As promised, we now reveal more beautiful Philille Matignon; another spring fling.

Slippers are wonderful things. They keep your feet toasty warm as you pad across the tiled kitchen floor to make coffee every morning.

Of course, they don't do much for your frigid ankles. And sometimes you trip over the tip because you haven't successfully made your coffee yet. Oh, and they don't look quite so cute anymore since you spilled yesterday's coffee on them and they can't go in the washing machine.

Luckily for your feet, there's Cozy Toes.

Cozy Toes are our answer to the need for toasty tootsies. Instead of a modified flip-flop, like so many slippers, these are decedent, thick socks with sticky rubber pads on the bottom so you don't slip even if you do wear them first thing in the morning on a polished hallway floor.

On Vancouver Island we experience a varied climate from crisp and sunny, to mild and wet and even cold and icy atop Mt. Washington. Luckily, whether you play in the snow, or escape the chill in front of a fire, we have winter pieces to keep you feeling cozy.

Thick and Cozy

A perennial favorite is Bedhead pajamas and we have been carrying them for years due to their comfort and universally popular designs. To the right is the Bedhead Jade Vienna design, in cotton, which has just arrived in-store.

For those looking to mix-and-match, Blush pajamas come in colourful, cotton tops and plaid, flannel bottoms, allowing you to create your own unique look.

And of course, look for new lines of robes from Diamond Tea and Bella Notte for the ultimate decadence right out of the shower, or lounging all day long.

If you're heading out into the weather, we recommend looking at Kim Allan Silks, offered in long-sleeved tops as well as long-johns (seen right). Kim Allan Silks not only keep you warm but they offer maximum breathability while wicking moisture away from your skin. Perfect for when you're working up a sweat skiing down the slopes, and when you're waiting for the lift to get back up again.

Nina Von C is another line to check out for those who prefer cotton keeping them warm.

This Winter

Now is the time we layer up, break out the pajamas, unfurl the robes and linger in them all Sunday afternoon. But come in soon to select your style because we warn you, we're not the only ones looking to be pampered this season.

When people think of silk they often think of shiny, restrictive, stretch-free fabrics, but with Kim Allan Silks nothing could be further from the truth. Kim Allan Silks produces comfortable, ultra-breathable, nonrestrictive, sensible, everyday, silk garments.

Kim Allan Silks are a woven silk with long fibres allowing for stretching and flexing with your body. It remains smooth against the body making it perfect for sleeping uniquely keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

The Top Five Reasons People Love Kim Allan Silk

1. These silks are perfect for travel. You can toss them into your luggage and rest-assured they will still look great at your destination. They are also easy to hand-wash with shampoo in your Parisian hotel room's petite sink, and they dry in a snap.
2. Silk is perfect for the hot flashes and night sweats of menopause. Silk breathes better than other fabrics and wicks away fabric keeping you dry and sound asleep.
3. Silk is gentle on even the most sensitive skin. The garments are so light and delicate they are preferred for conditions like post-radiation.
4. Used under clothing, the silk provides warmth without bulk.
5. No fabric has all the amazing properties of silk: absorbency, comfort, strength and weightlessness. And Kim Allan Silks takes these attributes and transforms them into sensible silks for every body.
