Kriss Soonik delivers fun, fresh and new ideas to the world of lingerie. Exemplifying the Estonian sense of style and due to its uncompromising attention to detail is considered one of the worlds most forward thinking lingerie brands. All of the pieces of lingerie, loungewear and nightwear, are exclusively produced and designed in Estonia bringing the world the fanciful styles and playful nature of this truly unique lingerie brand.

Kriste Chiffon Nightshirt
Stared in 2003 from a strictly woman’s wear line, Kriss saw a niche market in the realm of lingerie. Having developed quite the following in Estonia and in 2005 she introduced her loungerie to a wider market in London. In December of 2008, Kriss handed in her resignation and never looked back. She is always looking for new inspiration from any source and in any setting. The 2009-2010 Autumn/Winter collection is based on the dark side of Snow White. How will she make her marriage last? Not through singing in the woods or dancing with the animals. A collection completely designed in cute dark black colors and oh so naughty.

Our Favorite Designers
As I have been concentrating on the site recently and trying to get back into school I have been posting little or nothing. So to get back in the swing of things I decided to tell you about my favorite designers. More of a list and soem images but I think you will get the general idea. These are in no particular order as I can never decide on a number 1 designer.
Sonata Lingerie
The brains behind Sonata Lingerie is Sonata Sonata Rapalyte and is based in London, England. Sonata knew from an early age she was destined to be a designer. Born in Lithuania and after moving to London launched the first Damaris collection – she was a designer for them in her early years of designing. She started Sonata Lingerie in 2008 and I have loved every minute of it!

A few Hiccups

It will be a little bit longer on getting the site up and running due to these “issues.” Rest assured that the site will be up by August at the very latest. Stay tuned to find out all the details!
Novia – Colombian Lingerie
Novia is a lingerie design house located in Colombia South America. Latin America has always been a source of style and sensuality but in recent years these countries have gained a hold on the world stage. It may be due to the sultry styles or angled cuts of fabric, but the fact remains that South America is a leader in the lingerie industry. Novia has expanded their hold to Australia in the past year and was met with great success.
Novia has a flare for color! As they should considering were their home country is. The lingerie is a reflection of the Pacific and Caribbean climates of the region. Bold and bright colors are blended with the most exquisite fabrics to produce gorgeous lingerie sets and separates. The online store also carries other brands as well. Some of the brands include Ea Lingerie, Phax, and Armonia. Novia’s lkine of lingerie is small but worth the look. Only a few bra styles are available from Novia, but they have a multitude of underwear and panty styles. In addition, Novia Lingerie offers a wide variety of camisoles, tank tops, and chemises.

Isabella Fine Lingerie
Started in 2000 by Lauren Amerine, Isabella Fine Lingerie carries only French and Italian lingerie. After a trip to Europe in 1999 Lauren realized that there were no suitable or comparable lingerie boutiques in the Midwest. She jad always loved the designs from France and Italy and decided to open her own boutique. She now has two store locations and an eshop, and has been on business for eight years.
Every expanding her ranges and styles, Lauren does her best to provide a great selection for every customer, online and off. Designers include: Blush Lingerie, Christian LaCroix, Huit, and Nina Ricci to name a few. The site is simple and appealing as well as being very easy to navigate. I would certainly buy from this boutique. Her stores are located in the greater Chicago area and the online boutique may be found at this address: www.shopisabella.com. Be sure to visit their blog. In addition the shops all have professional fitters; online there is a step by step instruction for sizing yourself.
