From Russia with Love – Review of the Marie Jo Lingerie Autumn Winter Collection 2010

The upcoming collection from Marie Jo takes inspiration from exotic Russia combining opulent colours with luxurious fabrics.  The Marie Jo Lara epitomises this collection with a wide range of different bra styles that highlight the delicate embroidery and tulle.  This stunning story is available in black, ivory and the new red of the season fiesta red.  There is a new multiway smooth cup bra available up to an F Cup.  It is also a collection that features briefs for every taste, including the increasingly popular Italian briefs with the sheer back panel and hotpants, a new style being introduced.  Marie Jo Lara is very pretty and delicate, perfect as bridal lingerie in the ivory or as a fine lingerie for a seductive evening.

If you love a bit of colour for the when the nights get longer the Marie Jo Tonya is a real treat.  Rich opulent amethyst with golden flowers or you could choose the black with emerald embroidery. The two key styles are the demi padded balcony bra and the push up bra, unfortunately they are only available up to a D cup.  For all you E cup ladies you will have to choose between the full cup bra and the smooth cup padded bra.  I think the ladies from Plums Lingerie will love this range it has such a luxury feel.

As much as the Marie Jo Tonya exudes warmth the stunning Irina evokes the chilled climate of Russia with it's gorgeous sapphire blue and the natural with black embroidery.  The pencil thin embroidery drawn on to the fabric is a graphic calligraphy.  The embroidery is shown off beautifully on the balcony bra that has a vertical seam. This range will also prove to be popular as it has a suspender belt as part of the story.   There is also a basque but it is only available in natural, the sapphire blue would have been extremely striking.

In every Marie Jo collection there is a printed story.  These are designed with the young Marie Jo woman in mind however we often find at Plums Lingerie that they aren't always very popular.   This season it is the Masha in a black with pretty pinky flowers and a pagoda blue.  It is only a small story with only 3 different styles of bras.  It is fun and flirty with the print inspired by the matryoshka dolls.

Marie Jo has taken popular ranges from last season and brought them into winter with rich sumptuous tones.  The Marie Jo Cate has been coloured in midnight blues and greys which make the embroidered flowers pop out like little stars. If you like theses tones then you will love the gorgeous nori colour of the Camille.  This was a very popular range in the summer and this fashionable tone will ensure plenty of ladies will add it to the lingerie drawer.

Last season the delightful Jane was made a permanent addition and this winter they have brought out a gorgeous wine red which is very flattering against so many different skin tones and is a perfect alternative to the stronger scarlet tones.  The other story that has benefited from a re-colouring is the eternally popular Marie Jo Avero.  The chocolate brown is a warm tone but browns can be an acquired taste and with the resurgent popularity of navy blue it seems to have lost its place as the first choice alternative to black.

The Marie Jo collection can be bought at the Plums Lingerie online store.

If your mom stole your Donny & Marie dolls...?

that you got for Christmas back in the 70's...would you steal them back? How would you go about finding them in her house full of other useless crap?

My sister had those. She got them before I was born. haha

Just start digging through, or hold something of her's hostage and negotiate some sort of exchange.
