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.

Felina Bridgette: Seamlessly Add-A-Cup
Available in this season's neutral colour, oyster, the Bridgette creates seamless lines without looking plain. In addition to the bows seen at the center and on the straps of the bra, there is gentle lacework on inner cup that is truly pretty.
The Bridgette is designed with the smaller-busted woman in mind. This Felina line is known as "Add-a-Cup" as it has built-in enhancement for cleavage and curves.
And to complete this feminine look, a matching Felina Bridgette low-rise thong is available. Both pieces contain floral spray lacework and ultra smooth microfiber.
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.
Fashion in Sapphire
We're pleased to offer fine lingerie in the latest colour trends. Sapphire is part of spring's colour story as seen in the Felina Conturelle Fashion 60 design.
And while innovation is good, what we're after is the look and feel of the lingerie. An easy elegance comes to mind when thinking about this new look.
The multi-coloured embroidery and luxurious detailing ensure sophistication through to an H cup and the matched underwear continues the design.
Felina's 120 years of experience is proudly brought to the Comox Valley by Secret Drawers Lingerie. Drop by to see why this underwear matters.
Hanky Panky Springs Ahead
Feel like celebrating the spring with flowers but don't have a green thumb? No problem, the lily pad print on this spring's Hanky Panky have you covered, even if all you can seem to cultivate in the garden are stems.
The new lily pad print by Hanky Panky is more lily than pad with the pattern accented by an extra-wide, peach, stretch-lace waistband on the thong (seen right).
If prints aren't for you, you might express the rebirth of spring with a thong in one of three new colours now available. From top to bottom we have true blue, buttercup and grass green. We can see any of these hues painting the watercolour of a spring day.
New Hanky Panky - because everyone deserves the smile of springtime even if you have to wear a charcoal gray suit. Underwear matters.
New Prima Donna Twist - Coup de Foudre
This week the postman brought us a Twist, a Prima Donna Twist to be exact.
This is the Coup de Foudre, the new Prima Donna Twist design. The Coup de Foudre mixes comfortable, smooth fabric with a trendy, retro print and contemporary palette.
In the tradition of fine Prima Donna design, this look flatters the fuller-bosom so we're carrying the Coup de Foudre up to 44 E cup in blue opal. To accompany the look, we're also carrying the full brief, which covers the tummy for a slimming effect.
Not sure if the Coup de Foudre is for you? No problem, stop by and see us and we'll find something that is.
Pure Chantelle
On the heels of the Chantelle Hedona, the Chantelle Pure is new in-store and shares the same understated, smooth look.
The Pure is part of Chantelle's spring-summer 2011 collection and as in the Promesse design, we are carrying it in golden beige. This clean-cut bra is designed to look seamless under the t-shirts we're all unpacking for the warmer weather.
This lingerie might disappear against many a skin tone were it not for the shimmering stripes knit around both the bra and pant. And speaking of pant, we have both the brief and thong on offer.
Chantelle calls this collection:
. . . a new vision of the French Allure . . . Chantelle Lingerie is simple, yet a staple essential for a woman’s wardrobe. It is the symbol of elegance. With its perfectly proportioned and balanced lines, this modern and graphic silhouette embodies the Parisian style.And any time we can be accused of having Parisian style without paying the plane fare, we'll take it.
New Mary Green - Viktoria
It's another appearance of misspelling today. Nope, it's not Victoria here on Vancouver Island but the new Viktoria chemise and thong set by Mary Green.
Mary Green calls this fabric crushed silk, which gives the comfort and flow of silk without the shiny look. The deep lavender, stretch lace on the Viktoria adds a traditional feminine touch but keeps it young with scalloped edges and a bow at the breast bone.
The matching Mary Green Viktoria thong is stretch lace, continuing the flattering scalloped edge and adding the flirty pattern of the chemise just on the back.
This sheer georgette chemise is guaranteed to make you feel young no matter what the calendar says.
Kenan - Lisa's Folly - Luxe
To the right is the Truffle/Honey, part of Kenan's Lisa's Folly - Luxe line for the summer. The Truffle/Honey is a chemise in a lavender, known by Lisa as iris bliss. Honey lace adorns the neckline and peeks through a daring slit.
To the left is another example of honey lace accents. This time on the Lisa's Folly - Luxe, blue angel babydoll set. This isn't your average babydoll - this one keeps it fun and young with a racer back.
And if colours aren't making their way into your underwear drawer, then we also have the Hayworth: a sexy slip with scalloped edges in midnight black (not shown). The Hayworth adds elegant sophistication in knee-length silk and lace.
We've found that no matter which collection we pick from Kenan, they're an amazing example of why underwear matters.
Philippe Matignon - New - Ethnique
As promised, we now reveal more beautiful Philille Matignon; another spring fling.
Above is the Ethnique top and Ethnique leggings. These are a little more sophisticated than your average summer fare.
We're carrying the Ethnique by Philippe Matignon in brown, as above, but this black, close-up on the right allows appreciation of the fabric's delicate shine and classic tone-on-tone checkerboard pattern.
The straps crisscross into a keyhole detail at the bust, where the fabric gathers. It's almost impossible to see these pieces and not picture yourself lazying in the warming sun.
We have additional styles and colours so join us in-store to find the design that will make your beach wardrobe sing.
Philippe Matignon in the Spring
Beautiful pieces arrived this week, by Pilippe Matignon, that have everyone thinking of the warmth of sun on their shoulders.
True, we don't spend much of our time lying on the grass surrounded by flower petals, but it does express the feeling of this cheery, two-tone mini-dress and leggings. This is the Flocon with cotton leggings by Filippe Matignon.
The Flocon can be worn as a top or daringly as a dress, as seen above. A navy blue band is across the breasts while the body of the piece is a Persian blue. The navy gathers in a knot with ties left to dangle to the waist.
Stay tuned as we will be revealing more Philippe Matignon in the days to come...
New Trasparenze - Leggings Too!
It came to my attention that when I talked about the spring / summer line of Trasparenze last week, I didn't mention leggings. Today I'll correct that oversight.
To the right is an example of the Paige legging from the Trasparenze spring / summer line. Leggings are a hot trend right now as they can add informal adornment to any leg and, only extending to mid-calf, they are perfect paired with flats, heels or sandals for your day in the sun.
The Paige has a fishnet leg and the appearance of embroidery on the band at the calf. These are available in ivory (known as silk) and navy blue (known as oltremare).
New Kenan Kimono, Cami and More
To the right is the Marvelous deep back chemise paired with its matching belted kimono. Like traditional kimonos, this silken version sports judo sleeves with generous trim running the length of the robe and at the cuffs. The nature-inspired cobalt detailing on the kimono takes this look from simple luxury to luxurious beauty.
Next, on the left is the Kenan NK iMode Tremendous camisole and matching boxer short in cobalt blue. This design combines classic cami and boxer lines but adds generous, floral, lace bands on both the cami and the short.
The Tremendous is available in a long, flowing gown in addition to the cami and boxer short set. The Tremendous gown has full cups of tone-on-tone lace and provides some bust support. The long gown is available in a more subdued, porcelain blue.
Finally, we see the introduction of coral into the line with the Fabulous vintage long gown. Styled as a dress, you might just want to go from the bedroom straight to a relaxed garden party (perhaps with a cami underneath the sheer fabric). The print is flower-reminiscent, but abstract so you don't compete with the blooms at the party.
Flared details are seen around the neckline and zinnia lace provides additional bust detailing on the Fabulous.
Kenan works to provide a variety of silhouettes in the NK iMode line. All shapes, sizes and ages can find a piece of Kenan that provides an everyday luxury experience.
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.
