Pour Moi? in GQ

Sleepwear always gets glam at this time of year, and Pour Moi?'s semi-sheer chemise is no exception. As seen in GQ, it's yours for £25.

Bra warmers beat the cold

Cold, isn't it? What you need is a nice bra warmer - and inventor John Ward has knocked one up just in time, as seen in Spalding Today. (Failing that, you might just want to pop your bra on the radiator for a few minutes just before you get dressed).

Posh pants

Exciting news: David's not the only one wearing the Emporio Armani pants in the Beckham household any more - yes, his wife Victoria has just been signed up as the face of the brand's women's underwear, says the Telegraph. Fresh from her triumphant starring role in the Marc Jacobs ads she's certainly nabbing those advertising contracts - but can her famously petite frame do the business when it comes to lingerie? Watch this space.

Who has Australia's best body?

A serious question, this: who, asks Australia's Daily Telegraph, is the best of the current crop of Australian uber-models? With the likes of Catherine McNeill (for Seafolly, above left), Lara Bingle (for Speedo, above right), Miranda Kerr, Stephanie Rice and Jennifer Hawkins all nabbing high profile lingerie and swimwear campaigns, these women now have a shot at emulating the pioneering Elle Macpherson - now a brand in her own right. Which of "the body corporate" is your money on?

Choose Nougat for pampering or Mandala Aroma for organic aromatherapy goodies - perfect for all those hard-to-please people on your gift list, of course, but we wouldn't blame you for popping something in the basket for yourself as well.

Are you suffering from 'cleavage-fatigue'?

Today's hot topic for debate comes courtesy of the Daily Mail: "Could I be the only one suffering from 'cleavage-fatigue' or has it become a national epidemic?" asks journalist Louise Janson in response to the latest pics of Liz Hurley flaunting her famous assets in a hot pink corset.

Without presuming to speak for the rest of the nation, I must admit to not suffering from 'cleavage-fatigue' one little bit - after all, there is no quicker pick-me-up than a nice push-up bra. Below, some of our current faves.

Freya in Self

Here's one of our favourite brands - Freya - in the spotlight on the pages of Self magazine this month thanks to this on-trend purple print set. Balcony bra $60, shorty $30. Some top tips too - how do you prevent that pound rebound?

Celebrity catch-up

Celebs in the news: once again, Ultimo demonstrates its knack of hiring the most talked-about spokesmodels for its wares. Not only is Danny Cipriani - rugby star and current squeeze of Kelly Brook - lined up to model its forthcoming menswear range, but Katie Green (dubbed "too fat" by her agency, apparently) has joined the Ultimo model stable too, says The Mirror. Meanwhile, the latest celeb to announce her intention of creating a lingerie line is The Hills star Lauren Conrad, reports OK!
