As Secret Drawers Lingerie we know that sometimes the winter weather can get the best of you, but don't worry, we're here to help.
Specifically, we're here to offer you cotton flannel and jersey hugs for the taking.

And we have even better news: Jet-Stream Travel Fashions is joining us in this one-day sales event. They are offering 30% off their best-selling 100% cotton EzzeWear line - perfect for when you escape to a sunny destination.
So join us this Saturday for comfy-cozy wear for you, or maybe even your Valentine.
Plaid, Polka Dot and Tapestry Pjs
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.
Get Your Head in Bed
Well, it's official, the weather has definitely turned on the West Coast. Courtenay has gone from streaming sun to raging rain. But that's OK. We're tough West-Coasters and we can take it.
To the right you'll see a pj design that just came in. It's the Black New York Botanical print by BedHead. We've been carrying BedHead for years and we can attest to its long-wearing beauty. Pick a set up this year and don't be surprised if five years down the road, people still mistake it as new.

Floral Summer Pjs in Multiple Designs
The Kenan Chintz Flora is available in the pictured pjs as well as a short pj with boxer shorts and a spaghetti strap top. A nightshirt is also available in this line.

Spring PJs by BedHead
This new BedHead design is called Savannah Mums. It is a rich coral adorned by lemon and ivory flowers with a baby-blue scalloped trim. This BedHead pajama is perfect for sleeping and lounging as it's a light cotton with a 5% lycra content meaning that it will stretch when you do.
This two-piece cap sleeve lounge set is available in sizes small through large. This pattern is also available in an alternative design - shorts and a spaghetti strap top.
La Cera - The Breath of Cotton
Cotton is the choice for many because it's so easy to wear and it's a naturally breathable fabric - perfect for those hot summer nights. And cotton drapes organically producing a fresh and sexy look.
We're carrying the white La Cera, seen right, as well as five other styles both with and without sleeves. Discover the serene comfort that cotton can offer in these Victorian looks.
Donna's Ingrid Pj and Gown
Pjs are popular lingerie gifts because they suit a wide variety of people and the fit is not as critical as it is for other items like bras. But even within pajama designs there is plenty of room for personal self-expression.Enter Donna. Donna is a Canadian manufactured line. Donna has made lingerie, ready to wear and cruisewear since 1970. In Donna's own words:
This can easily be seen in Donna's Ingrid designs seen here. The Ingrid comes in a long gown, seen above, and in a draw-string pj. These designs are gauzy, elegant and understatedly sexy in an earth-tone paisley print.Donna has been inspired by the evolution of the world of fashion, the trends and the fabrics. It has enveloped your femininity and elegance with glamor and sophistication.
The Donna Ingrid designs are available in sizes small through large and are made of polyester. Flounce in one today.
New BedHead Gown and Chemise
To the right is the BedHead Little Tokyo stretch ballet gown. This cotton gown flows down to the ankles and uses small buttons for detail. It's lightly gathered under the bust for a flattering shape. Brightly-coloured Asian images will make you smile as you flounce about in this gown.
On the left is the Palm Springs Paisley Pool chemise by BedHead. This PJ provides a bit of a sexier look while remaining every bit as comfortable and easy to wear. Throw it on while you sip drinks on the deck.
We'll be featuring more styles of BedHead as well as this is just the start of our lighter pajama lines. Flannel or cotton, thick or thin, BedHead has a style that will suit you.
Princess Tam Tam - Upscale Leisure
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.
The Princess Tam Tam Jolie is a short nightgown available in blue and red, sizes extra small - large. You'll find the comfort of its cotton impeccable.
They'll Keep Your Head in Bed
Winter brings about our shipments of pajamas. We carry lines of pajamas in silk, flannel, jersey and other materials.
One of our most popular brands for Christmas gift-giving is Bedhead. This year we have pink and grey Eiffel Tower, blue 3-D stripe, snow leopard, blue Abbey Road and fleur de lis prints.
A Pair of New Frou Frou
Frou Frou is one of the lines from Canadian company Kenan. It represents a particularly feminine touch in delicate sleepwear.
Part of the Frou Frou autumn / winter 2011 collection is the Opera chemise, seen right. Romantic, pink, stretch lace is seen atop a silken jersey.
If you prefer a traditional pant and shirt pajama option, the Picture Perfect, seen left, might be for you.
This pajama set has floral printed, pants and button-up top with full-sleeves. The pjs are a cotton / bamboo blend, soft right off the hanger.
The Frou Frou Picture Perfect have a waist with drawstring and elastic as well as satin piping on the sleeve and collar. Details also include pearlized buttons with raised ridges.
We think both looks will give you sweet dreams.
BedHead in the Summer
New BedHead pjs are in pink Carolina paisley and Tiffany blue fleur de lis voile (pattern seen right). The style of BedHead pajamas we're carrying has a t-shirt top and a stretch cap sleeve adorned with a slight ruffle at the top.
These spring colours are in 100% cotton in sizes small through large.
For something a little darker, there is the Midnight Etched Rose Classic Stretch pajama by BedHead. This features the unique combination of the mystery of midnight with the innocence of a white rose.
The Midnight Etched Rose is 95% cotton and 5% stretch material for extra comfort in every stretch and twist. This sophisticated pajama has an elastic waistband and is available in size small through extra-large.
And one thing we can absolutely guarantee is that BedHead pajamas wash and wear beautifully. They never pill and get softer every time you wash them. One pair will make BedHead something you look forward to for a long time to come.
LaCera - Cotton Comfort
LaCera is a line specializing in comfortable cotton but with pin tuck, ruffle and embroidery detailing that makes you feel beautiful and feminine.
To the right, is the Batiste, a 3/4 length gown with pin tucking through the bodice, side seam pockets and a flounce hem. Shell buttons and delicate embroidery are special extra details.
To the left is a breezy, more ornate nightgown with an ivy-floral pattern. Rosy pink and mint green paint the feminine print. Ruffles accent the neckline and sleeves. A more relaxed ripple finishes the gown at the bottom. The ivy-floral print is also available in pjs, which are also sleeveless.
The best part is LaCera isn't just comfortable the first time you put it on either, their secret is their machine-washable cotton gets softer every time you wash it.
LaCera adds feminine touches and sophistication to create a new traditional nightgown.
Bamjamz - Something New Under the Covers
Bamjamz is a new line of rayon-bamboo sleepwear, bringing contemporary cool to bed. To the right, you can see a Bamjamz tunic, designed as an extra long shirt so you can wear it with, or without, the matching leggings.
We're also carrying the Classic Signature, full-length, pants. With a drawstring waist, they're perfect for nighttime, daytime or yoga-time.Bamjamz is about "energy, youthfulness, and waking up in the morning with a smile on your face," according to Brad Rudin, the co-founder and creative director of Bamjamz.
We're also carrying short-tees with new, hip prints, one in garden green and gold, that might make you believe Rudin and his team are onto something. Or, at least, that's what Elle Canada, the Globe and Mail and The Hollywood Minute seem to think.The love-fest might be due to the fabric: it's sustainable, feels like silk, soft as cashmere and washes like cotton. If you're looking for youthful, comfortable, contemporary, loungewear, as usual, we have you covered.
Secret Drawers Lingerie Top 10
As this is the new year we thought we'd take a look back at some of our favorite lingerie, loungewear and, of course, underwear items from 2010. Today we'll reveal numbers 10 - 6.
10. Bedhead Pajamas - These are a top-of-the-line pajama that wash and wear beautifully a are a long-time favorite of ours. They are a finer cotton flannel than is normally found in pajamas.
Many were snapped up for Christmas, but if you weren't lucky to find a pair under your tree, stop by and try on a pair.
8. The Unbelievabra - The Unbelievabra Ultimate by Shapeez is a unique foundation garment that is known for both slimming the torso and also removing bulges on the back with it's slimmer and bra built-in-one. And we absolutely had to have it on our list as even a chiropractor loves its benefits of reducing back pain.
7. Plus-Size Camisoles by Hanky Panky - At Secret Drawers Lingerie we embrace any company that does justice to a plus-size figure, so we were excited to see the expected Hanky Panky style and quality available in plus size camisoles. In granite, white and black they go with almost any outfit.
6. Fashion 78 from the Felina Conturelle Dessous line - OK, we admit, that's a mouthful, but the sophisticated beauty of this piece makes it worth it. The Fashion 78 from Felina does look extraordinary on the hanger, but the reason it makes our top 10 list is because of the superior way it compliments a woman's body all the way up to an H cup.
Next time find out our absolute favorite top 5 items of the year. The best underwear that matters is yet to come...

Pajamas Are Extremely Popular Christmas Gifts
Today's pajama selection is from Frankie and Johnny. Frankie and Johnny's idea is a simple one: Create a line of fun, comfy, cozy jammies that you can live in, 24/7.
Frankie and Johnny pull their inspiration from family adventure and everyday things, like these moccasin-clad lounge pjs, seen right. Like every Frankie and Johnny style we have selected this year, these are made of bamboo rayon and cotton. And yes, the deep red utters the word Christmas, but the whimsical print makes it in season any time.
Sleepshirts by Frankie and Johnny are also available. The Le Maroc sleepshirt, seen left, consists of a classic black-and-white pattern adorned with contrasting trim and buttons, and one front pocket under the left shoulder.
This sleepshirt is designed not only for comfort but to also create a flattering sillouette as you sip hot cocoa with your kids. And just like all Frankie and Johnny fabrics, the texture of this sleepshirt feels like a blend of cashmere and silk.
Not feeling Christmassy yet? No problem. The bamboo-climbing pandas on this lounge pj don't require the addition of a holiday. This endearing design, seen right, reminds the wearer that they are indeed wearing fabric made of bamboo. The fabric wicks away moisture making Frankie and Johnny pajamas versatile in both winter and summer.
True, the bamboo flannel of these garments make them snuggly, but the pandas on the print don't hurt either. On the lounge styles there is a button-up front with two pockets, as well as an elastic drawstring waistband on the pant.
We do admit, it's hard to choose between Bedhead Pajamas, The Cat's Pajamas, Blush pajamas or Frankie and Johnny pajamas. The only advice we can give is to come in and see for yourself. By the time you leave, you may find your Christmas list half done.
