Louise's big knickers

Jamie and Lousie Redknapp must be our favourite celebrity couple – completely down to earth and oh so nice. So we just had to pop along to Triumph’s do to unveil Louise as the new face of their autumn campaign. And we grabbed a chat with Louise who revealed that she’s a comfy big knickers girl at heart and that her biggest underwear no no is thongs under low rise jeans. Quite right too.

You can count on us

It's blow-your-own-trumpet day today. We do like to think of ourselves as reliable, and now online market research company eDigital has ranked figleaves.com number one for delivery in its annual survey of the e-retail scene. The people responsible? Warehouse team, take a bow:

And the "delight" bit? That eDigital quote in full: "Not only do they meet delivery expectations, they excel at product presentation which further delights the consumer."

But enough of the self-congratulation already. Back to the site.

Iguanas, Jamie, Marco and more Stewarts

• Is it acceptable for a woman to show her bra straps these days? The Guardian's fashion expert Hadley Freeman has her say.

DKNY in Cosmo

Lovely DKNY ad in last month's Cosmo featuring this Body Lights set. New and noteworthy? The VPL-busting shorty - soft and lightweight (like a second skin, in fact), it has laser cut edges and smooth, seamless sides. Now go vanquish that knicker line.

Introducing My Size by Playtex

To paraphrase Prince, we got so many new products that y'all can't handle it. Where to start? Let's take a look at My Size by Playtex. Newly arrived on the site, it's enjoyed loads of pre-publicity thanks to its cute sizing: no mere As, Bs, Cs and Ds for this collection; it also comes in half cup sizes (A and a half, B and a half, etc) for all us in-betweenies. Bras from £16 (the one pictured here is £20), available in sizes 32A-38D.
