We are all really proud of our 'Exclusively at figleaves.com' collection. One of which was this oh-so-sexy little number from Pussy Glamore called Drawn to Her chemise, for £55.
And this is what Vogue wrote about it.
For more on our Exclusives range look here or for a peek behind the scenes at the Exclusives photo shoot, see our blog post.
As seen on This Morning on Tuesday, well done for Fern and Phil guessing correctly on Designer Doubles that this gorgeous set was the branded option, by Freya Swim. Even though it's a bandeau top it's deceptively supportive as it's underwired. Oh, and goes up to a FF cup.
The Daily Mail rounded up summer's sexiest swimwear yesterday. How to look peachy by the pool? Huit's white bikini set, £79, featured in the Mail's nautical selection; this polka dot bikini (top £59, briefs £55) by Sofia by Vix made it into the retro selection.
Sloggi had so much fun at the V Festival last year that they are back again - and they have two tickets to this year's V Festival at Hylands Park to give away. Fancy it? Simply email us at blog@figleaves.com with V Festival in the subject line and answer the following question:
Hylands Park is in: a) Chelmsford, b) Cheshire, or c) Cheltenham
Don't forget to include a telephone number so that we can contact you if you win. Click below to read on for terms and conditions - and to see pictures of last year's event.
No doubt you have been hearing about Wonderbra D-G - the brand made headlines with its shoot featuring 1,000 women in London the other week. In honour of Wonderbra D-G arriving at figleaves.com, we've got some pictures from the day.
Let's go behind the scenes today - here's the gang at our recent Exclusives shoot.
Top left, adjusting the model's bra, is our art buyer Anna Byrne, who looks after our photo shoots. Anna is responsible for booking all our models - so what is she looking for when she does a casting? "It's all about being in proportion - you can cast models for fashion really easily but when they take their clothes off it's a different ball game."
Top and bottom right (in the blue shirt) is photographer Terry McGough in action. Terry started out in music photography (he revamped Will Young's image for his first album) before moving into fashion and he still likes to approach every shoot as if it were a music video. "The pleasure of this job is that the stuff is really beautiful," he says.
Also deserving of a namecheck but too busy taking these pics to be caught on camera themselves were second photographer Jess Mahaffey and photography assistant Jenny Baker. See the final selection (and shop our exclusives of course) here.
This silk Elle Mac cami, as featured on This Morning yesterday, looks like a great buy - not only is it purple (one of the colours of next season, we hear), it also works as both underwear and outerwear. Even better, it's in the sale.
A random picture of a bat today, in honour of hotel receptionist Abbie Hawkins from Norwich. She's been making headlines thanks to a spooky discovery in her 34FF bra - at first she thought it was just her mobile phone vibrating but on further inspection it turned out to be a baby bat. More details on the BBC.
Life & Style had advice for every body shape last week. This Mimi Holliday bikini was on the recommended list for those of us who are an hourglass shape like Spice Girl Mel B.
