I came across this shoot in the latest issue of British Vogue, and thought it was worth the price of the entire issue by itself! I love the colours, the styling and the photography and I love Guinevere in almost anything. I'm so glad to see that the current trend of using models with boobs and bodies doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon (Lara Stone also has a bodycon shoot in this issue too, sandwiched between the Guinevere and Kate Moss stories).

It kind of reminds me of a beautiful lingerie shoot from a few years ago in W Magazine that I'll find and post at some point soon. Anyway, if you like lingerie, buy this issue!

Last week was a rather hectic one for me, so this weekend I took advantage of some much-needed down time and treated myself to a magazine or two (each accompanied by a Cream Egg!). British Vogue did not disappoint, with some really beautifully shot lingerie-filled editorials and shopping pages. My favourite was the Guinevere shoot (more of which later), but cover girl Kate Moss didn't look too shabby either in this lingerie and luxury basics shoot.

I think the full fashion credits are visible if you click on the images, but I'll list the lingerie ones cos let's face it, that's the best bit!

Baby Grand SS2010 Collection

Hot off the press this week is the news that Baby Grand's new collection is now available to view and buy online. The London-based luxury lingerie label have recently been featured in Daily Candy's '25 Reasons To Undress' lingerie special, alongside hot labels like Wundervoll, Undrest, Nona De Samim and La Fee Verte.

The sheer silk satin, chiffon and georgette pieces and polka dot tulle knicker favourites are still in the collection, but this time there is the even more luxurious option of Swarovski covered knickers. For this season, bright eye-popping silks are matched with sorbet shades and traditional lingerie colours like black, white and ivory. The entire collection from pasties to robes, is handmade in house and if, for some reason you can't find exactly what you want in the range, there's the option of a bespoke service available for the big spender!

Lingerie Encore at Dior AW2010/11

In this week's catwalk show for Dior, John Galliano went a little be easier on the under-as-outerwear trend than some designers this season. With a more subtle take on the look, the perhaps unlikely combination of frou frou, ladylike dressing was contrasted with tougher, leather equestrian influences for Autumn/Winter 2010/11. Leather thigh high boots, capes and hats worn with layers of diaphanous lingerie-like frocks were the look of the show.
