Store Adore on The Today Show

If you haven't yet discovered our new friends at Store Adore, then do have a look. Launched this month by former Lucky editor Meredith Barnett and business buddy Cristina Miller, it's an online guide to the best boutiques in various American cities as well as the internet. Figleaves.com is on there, of course, and when Meredith visited The Today Show with her Valentines picks the other day, she took along our Mary Green "Seven Ways To Say I Love You" panty set, $105.

As seen on Ladette to Lady

So last summer I took the train to Darlington with a suitcase full of designer swimwear to kit out the Ladette to Lady girls for their poolside party at Cliveden. Must say that they all seemed very sweet and were clearly on their best behaviour. Anyway, the resulting episode was screened last night and while we can't claim that the bikinis turned our heroines into ladies, they certainly looked very nice when they weren't busy screeching and splashing in the pool. What they wore? Simone was in Freya; Holly in Lisa Curran; Neema in Vitamin A; Nicole in Vix; and Louise charmed the bachelors in La Blanca's deep plunge one-piece.

As seen on TV

Thanks to sharp eyed Desta in our Buying department for spotting this Freya bikini on last night's episode of America's Next Top Model. In shimmery shades of gold (the season's top swim trend, everyone!), it was featured in the auditions stage. Meanwhile, check out tonight's episode of Ladette to Lady to see how the girls get on at Cliveden in some beautiful bikinis from figleaves.com.

Paris Hilton in Calvin Klein Steel

Thanks to our eagle-eyed friends at Calvin Klein for passing on this image - it's Paris Hilton on the cover of 944 magazine (the "Official Lifestyle Magazine of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee", apparently) in a pair of Calvin Klein Steel briefs. Not entirely sure where we are with Paris, to be honest - do we still like her? Did we ever? Are we bored? But the pants look great - find the range here.
