I feel like my brain had been replaced by a knickers drawer. But I must admit that there were a lot of things to drive me to the subject, lately&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First there was this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecherryblossomgirl.com\/bientot\/13093\/\">post<\/a> from fashion blogger Alix (aka the Cherry Blossom Girl), a preview of her work with Etam. I&#8217;ve seen the lingerie ensembles in store last friday and it&#8217;s not something I would actually wear, but this made me wonder what would my collection look like, were I given the chance to design one (as you may <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carlottastermaria.fr\/blog\/?p=256\">recall<\/a>, I consider underwear to be just as important as &#8216;regularwear&#8217;_ and oh well, I just love lingerie).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Then, there was this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.accrodelamode.com\/index.php?post\/2011\/04\/15\/Les-culottes\">post<\/a> from Isabelle (check out her blog, it&#8217;s in French but she&#8217;s a former stylist with an amazing eye) dedicated to knickers (I hope I&#8217;m using the right word, by the way _ or should I say panties?). A few years ago knickers had to be low-waisted, unnoticeable or were even replaced by thongs, but now they&#8217;re back! Etam sells whole &#8216;semainiers&#8217; (packs of 7) of knickers, brands like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strumpetandpink.com\/\">Strumpet and Pink<\/a> now sell luxury knickers, even my favorite brand Princesse Tam-Tam made a limited edition of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessetamtam.com\/PrincesseTamTam.Site\/fr\/produit-Culotte-famous-FAMOU126.aspx\">hand-embroidered knickers <\/a>lately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The following week, two bloggers talked about high-waisted, giant granny panties. <a href=\"http:\/\/diglee.com\/old-maid-lingerie\/\">Diglee<\/a> seems to prefer lace (albeit teenage shoppers obviously prefer thongs), and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogforbettersewing.com\/2011\/04\/in-defense-of-granny-panties.html\">Gertie<\/a> appears to be a radical advocate of the plain nylon version (but seems to add lace and bows). I personnally rather like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/53971768\/range-5-bamboo-and-organic-cotton-jersey\">this one<\/a>. Then, Woody wrote in Flavor magazine on how to wear <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flavor-magazine.com\/2011\/vintage-la-nuisette-selon-woody\/#more-17132\">slips<\/a> outside (lucky girl also got an email from Australian label <a href=\"http:\/\/hopelesslingerie.com.au\/\">Hopeless<\/a>&#8230; I&#8217;m green of envy!). This was quite obviously the lingerie assault. I could no longer resist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Once again, I tried to find something on Etsy I knew wasn&#8217;t there, and found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/Bettiemarie\">this shop<\/a>. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/61019495\/the-tied-knickers-pattern-b0904\">tied knickers<\/a> brought me there, I staid for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/49271461\/the-puff-panties-b0901\">puff panties<\/a> and I&#8217;m considering the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/49271947\/the-frilly-knickers-pattern-b0902\">frilly knickers<\/a>, but there are also the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/53317261\/the-peepshow-panties-pattern-b0905\">peep-show panties<\/a> if it&#8217;s your cup of tea. I sent an e-mail to the seller, and YES! In a charming answer, she told me she could draft the pattern of a balcony bra for me&#8230; Because even if I love knickers, there&#8217;s no way I could wear mismatched undergarments. Ah! The things you call &#8216;dignity&#8217;&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To be continued!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This month, lingerie is all I can think of.
