Lingerie

Sexy music superstar, Rihanna, has revealed her fondness for lingerie. She told More magazine that it’s really important to wear gorgeous lingerie because it makes you feel great and you never know who you’ll be undressing in front of.
The 21 year-old singer, who had hits with the tunes ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Unfaithful’ also said that she likes giving lingerie advice to her friends and female fans. She stated, “I would say always wear some sexy lingerie under your clothes. Even though you have to be all bundled up [in winter], you’ll look cute when you take it off.”
Rihanna described how she loves lace and silk and designer lingerie. She also explained how she finds it difficult to watch what she eats, and feels pressure to stay slim for her media appearances, especially as the regular poses for photoshoots in lingerie. Recently the star has spoken out about an embarrassing event which happened at the beginning of the year, where an ex boyfriend released raunchy pictures of her. Despite feeling “humiliated” at the time, she recently said to The Sun that every woman should have naked pictures taken of themselves.
Maybe the gift of lingerie could spice up your love life this Christmas?

This years Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York and Miami saw Velda Lauder designs grace the catwalk. With celebrities such as Heidi Klum and Marisa Miller modelling these stunning corset creations, it’s no wonder this corset brand made a show-stopping mark on the runway.

The elegant Velda Lauder designs were also modelled by the glamorous Miranda Kerr. The striking custom-made corsets she wore were made from a beautiful satin material that was encrusted with sparkling jewels giving the runway the ‘wow factor’ of the night.

The Victoria’s Secret fashion show is an extremely high profile event in the US with celebrities such as Eva Longoria-Parker and Hayden Panettiere watching, and the likes of Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas performing.

Inspired by her love of all things glamorous, Velda Lauder set up her own corset company in London which attracted many celebrities who wanted to make a seriously sexy fashion statement. Her unique corsets can make anyone look and feel like a supermodel by the way they shape and sculpt the waist without causing any discomfort.

And to top it off, Velda Lauder’s hand-made ‘Ready to Wear’ range is entirely manufactured in Great Britain and is traditionally made from the highest quality materials around – showing the US that our British designers can really up the bar when it comes to fashion!

Take a look at the exquisite range of Velda Lauder corsets at Mio Destino now.

Christmas is approaching and one item topping the modern lady’s Christmas present list is sleepwear. Far from boring, sleepwear is a thoughtful and useful gift. Sleepwear is perfect for the woman with everything, and luxury sleepwear is great for women who always put family first.

Sleepwear is one of those things that people may resent spending money on; after all, not many people are going to see it whilst you’re sleeping. However if you are one of those people who can’t wait to slip on comfy sleepwear as soon as you get home, you can’t underestimate style and luxury for making you feel good. Luxury sleepwear in silk or soft cotton is the perfect pampering gift for a busy mum and can make her feel stylish with no effort.

Now more than ever, sleepwear is a contemporary fashion statement, as a number of designers featured sleepwear in their catwalk shows, alongside lingerie as outerwear. Last spring, American beauty, Jessica Alba wore a Dolce & Gabbana pyjama suit to a film premiere. She looked chic and undoubtedly comfortable in the black and white polka dot, silk sleep suit. If Alba can step out to the public like this, luxury sleepwear is definitely good enough to greet the postman in, or even wear for Christmas day.

Ted Baker is one of those covetable brands which exude fashionability and sophistication. Since they extended their offering to sleepwear, lingerie and gifts, and are stocked on Mio Destino, they have built on their success even more. Ted Baker has recently opened new stores in Australia, and in Boston, USA. The new American Ted Baker store is situated on trendy Newbury Street and the cute interior is inspired by the Mad Hatter’s tea party. The store will join Ben Sherman as British brands settling on the American High Street.

Ted Baker is known for its quality and fashionable prints. Actress, Eva Longoria is a fan. After Longoria was spotted in a floor length Ted Baker silk leaf print dress, the item sold out. Eva Longoria is much loved by men and women alike for her sassy role in Desperate Housewives and is a well respected style icon.

Ted Baker has summer covered with funky bikinis and as we head into winter, you can trust Ted Baker for stylish sleepwear solutions. Their navy kimono pyjama set and matching butterfly robe is perfect for snuggling up this winter. Elegant and flattering, they show off the essence of Ted Baker’s quality English design.

Famed for her delicate and feminine frame, Nicole’s Kidmans slimness, like her paleness, is signature to her look. So recent photos, which show her almost spilling out of her satin, magenta gown came as a little bit of a surprise to onlookers. At Mio Destino we think she might have had a little help from some clever lingerie.

All the smart girls know that a little help from the right bra goes a long way to helping keep the spotlight on you at any event! This was certainly the case at the country music awards in Nashville. Despite it being the night for Kidman’s country singer husband, Keith Urban, all eyes were on Kidman and her heaving chest.

It is important to note here, however, that having a helping hand from your lingerie doesn’t mean you have to lose any sophistication or elegance. Kidman proves this, looking the epitome of style and grace. At 42, her lingerie is simply an aid to help make her look and feel great.

At Mio Destino we have a wide range of push up bras which whilst being beautifully made, are also fantastic at giving your cleavage a subtle helping hand. Leaving you feeling confident and looking great!

Proving she’s still one of the sexist women in film, Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, bares all for the first time in her new film after giving birth to her twins Knox and Vivienne 16 months ago.
In the upcoming spy thriller “Salt,” Jolie strips down to her black lingerie and reveals her toned stomach – impressive as she filmed the sexy scenes just 6 months after giving birth!

The film, in which she stars as CIA agent Evelyn Salt who is forced to go on the run after she is accused of being a Russian spy, is set for release in the UK in August 2010.
The 34-year-old Tomb Raider star faced allegations she may have hired a body double for the scenes but, her lingerie clad figure is definitely recognisable because of the unique tattoos on her waistline.

Jolie was last seen flaunting her toned body six years ago in the promotional pictures for Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, but outside of the studio, she has always been very careful not to be photographed in her bikini whilst on the beach.

When asked how she had got her bikini body back in to shape, Jolie said breast feeding and running after her children had helped her shift the weight. Not bad hey?!
