According to designer Adrianne Lee, ‘There are certain words you never want to use to describe your style. Boring is one of them; dowdy is another.’ Adrianne’s Ninkybink lingerie label is anything but. Her frivolous, flirty and fun-loving kickers exude 50s pin-up girl glamour and will make you smile, though only you’ll know you’re wearing them. Perhaps.

One of the biggest modern day myths is that all women love to shop. Well actually, I don’t. And I don’t think I’m on my own. Some things in particular fill me with dread; shopping for jeans and shopping for bras. A well-fitting bra is the holy grail of women’s clothing - highly sought after but rarely found. But don’t despair, help is at hand.

Vanjo is a sexy, funky, retro lingerie label whose underwear comes in a wide range of sizes and fittings. Their cup sizes range from C to FF, making them a must-have item for curvy women. They are also eco-friendly using, where possible, stock or leftover fabric and trims from cloth manufacturers ’ creating a use for material that would normally be thrown into landfill sites.

In addition, they also offer a range of men’s printed t-shirts and trunks.
