May be I should change the description into this
This blog is actually dedicated to me who need more intimacy, romantic and peaceful marriage by being femininity and dress like feminine at home. Do I need to remind again, our goal next year (another 2 months to go) is to be fashionable and feminine as possible ( I still had lots of argument on this blog). Thanks for dropping by. Hope you enjoy the journey of me to become a fashionable wife again .. huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu
The journey is begin.....
Dear readers,
Please suggest me how to improve this layout, gadgets to add etc. Thanks
I still believe that wife should stay at home while the husband go out, slave the dragons n protect his family .... LOL. I'm a bit conservative n retro wife type, and I wish to keep it that way. But I might going back to school, as a student. It still on plan because I had to reconsider few issue before making any decision. I'm no longer in Canada, ok? I lost my life, and I want it back. I had to move on, I can't go on like this.
I'm back .I don't know what to write. I read my blog again . So that was me during the last few years. So surprising to see the change of me now. I'm lost and not only that, I'm not happy with myself anymore. Where is the feminine side of me? What actually happen to me all these year? Somebody please tell me, is this blog real? It looks like fairytale to me. Does this fashionable wife really exist in this modern world?
What am I wearing now? Skirt with floral blouse, like the one in my avatar. See, I still wear that blouse until now. But my skirt really not matching it, I just grab what I saw in my closet. My two adorable boys ( already two huh? ) were in blue jeans n shirt, they're gorgeous. Its already quarer to eight, but DH still at work. Why daddy had to work long-long time, asked the eldest. Well dear, daddy had to work long-long time because we're not in Canada anymore, ok? ( they gave him class lecture at night)
So the story begins....
This would be my last post in this blog. This blog will be closed for temporary. I just don't have a time to write and update it. Thank you.

When a man wants to buy a gift of lingerie for his partner, it can be a huge and bewildering task. Where do you start? So many brands and styles exist. What are the differences? This short and basic guide to styles and brands of lingerie will help to clarify the basics and will give the essentials necessary to ask for advice in a shop, department store or boutique.
There are 6 different categories of lingerie in the market: Sporty, Natural, Elegant, Designer, Sexy and special occasion, or Bridal Lingerie. Of course, these categories can overlap, Bridal or sexy lingerie can be made by a designer. Sporty lingerie can also be natural. Natural can be sexy. But understanding these six categories will help one to determine which lingerie to select.
Natural Lingerie, in general tends to be functional and less obvious. Simplicity, quality and comfort tend to be the major criteria for use. Darjeeling lingerie brand is for women who prefer the natural look.
The purpose of sporty lingerie is that the lingerie should support but not hinder the lifestyle of the woman. They should not be obvious under tight clothing and yet not give up anything in the way of functionality. Prada is well known for their sport lingerie. Sloggi developed a strong image in this area as well.
Elegant lingerie is designed to give the woman a look of subtle sensuality without being too obviously erotic. Many types and styles of elegant lingerie cross over with designers. Chantelle’s Riviera lingerie is one example of elegant lingerie
Designer lingerie gives a woman the feeling of being special. As few people will ever know she is wearing lingerie made by a designer, the woman who spends the money on designer lingerie is spending it mostly for herself. The focus is on style over comfort or quality. Dolce and Gabana, Versace and recently popular Agent Provocateur are a few important designers of lingerie.
Sexy lingerie combines a wide range of styles and look. Many different types of lingerie can be included here, such as thongs or g-strings, teddy, corsets, garters, body stockings, sheer lingerie etc. To be sure, any of these can be included in other categories. For example a thong can be sporty or elegant. A corset can be sexy, provocative or elegant. Any of them can be made by a designer. But the overall look of these types of lingerie gives the woman a sexy feel. Victoria’s Secret has a focus on sexy lingerie. Fredericks is their fading competitor. Lola Luna specializes in G-Strings or thongs. Lady Marlene focuses on Bustiers. Lise Charmel of France combines seduction with fashion.
Bridal Lingerie is made especially for that one day for which a woman waits all of her life, her wedding night. Usually it combines a white, creamy color with elegant and sexy style. Comfort or durability is hardly an issue here, but sensuality and style are essential. It seems that every lingerie designer markets a line of bridal lingerie.
So which brand of lingerie do you buy? Mostly that depends on where you live. Lingerie tends to be national or regional. Though some manufacturers are attempting to become global, there is no one company dominating the global market:
• Chantelle Lingerie is one of the top brands of French lingerie, exporting to more than 50 countries. Passioneta and Darjeeling are Chantelle brands. However, Chantelle sales are still quite small in the USA.
• La Perla began as a small Italian manufacturer of corsets and is now becoming well known internationally as a manufacturer of lingerie
• Fantasie is a UK lingerie designer that focuses on lingerie in larger cup sizes. The UK represents, by far, the major sales for Fantasie.
• Triumph is a German lingerie manufacturer that like La Perla had its beginnings as a small local manufacturer of corsets and has grown to an international corporation. Sloggi is a brand which is owned by Triumph. Triumph is barely existent in North America.
• Victoria’s Secret was started in the 1977 by Roy Raymond who wanted a European style shop that was accessible to males as well as females. Raymond sold his company in 1982 to The Limited Inc and it has grown up to be the top US manufacturer of lingerie. However, Victoria’s Secret is almost unknown n Europe.

White is a hot trend for Spring fashion this year, I guess. Most of apparel store like GAP, Old Navy have a lot of spring fashion based on white color. The one in the picture is from Reitmans, I got if from thrift store. I was shopping for retro outfit and just saw this dress. Its white and retro, just nice for this spring season. I just spend 75% less than buying the new one at GAP.
I think everyone should have at least one white dress in their wardrobe. Try your luck at thrift store, and who knows you can find a great brand name dress at very affordable and cheap price. Good luck.
