New bras for Plums Lingerie?

The gorgeous Lady Gaga has been in the news with her exploding bra . Not sure how much demand there is going to be for this in sleepy little Jersey. I can just see some poor chap getting a bit of a shock when he gets overly amorous!

It's going to be a busy week at Plums. We have one of our fitting nights on Wednesday so we're looking forward to seeing our regular customers. It's a great excuse to catch up and have a few cheeky glasses of bubbles. We are also launching the bra recycling scheme so it will be interesting to see what gets brought in.

Plums Lingerie is Going Green

At Plums Lingerie so many ladies who come to us, get fitted and find none of their bras at home are any good. As upsetting as it is to find that pretty pink lacy number is about as much use as two nipple tassels and a piece of extra stretch elastic there is a silver lining to that cloud!

Send in all your old unwanted bras to us and we’ll give to 10% off your next purchase! All the bras we collect will be going to Waster Saver at Oxfam. They take old bras and send them to lovely ladies in Africa. Any that aren’t up to the trip will get recycled! You can find out more at the Plums Lingerie website

Armed Robbery at Plums!!

Oh my goodness what a week! Very dramatic, as mumsie was held up by a scallywag with a knife in our lovely little boutique.

We have had the local police out in force, SOCO has been around to check the crime scene. It's been like CSI Jersey! Unsurprisingly Mumsie kept her composure, and the toe rag was intelligent enough to scarper promptly. But Plums has been on the news and in the paper and lots of lovely well wishers have popped in to see how Mumsie is holding up.

I am slightly concerned that the attention is going to Mumsie's head, she's taken to wearing dark glasses and checking for paparazzi before popping out to pick up the milk.

Beautiful Brides

Despite the rain and gloom I have decided to cheer myself up by adding a new section to the website. I am browsing through all the prettiest lingerie and nightwear to put together a section dedicated to all those lovely ladies getting ready for their wedding day. It seems to be taking much longer than I expected as there is so much to choose from. I am trying to restrain myself from putting everything on the site in the one section. I have started to narrow it down and the gorgeous silk negligees from Marjolaine. I think this stunningly elegant simple Soie Unie Slip has to perfect for the wedding night.

Still so much to get on before I can publish it so mustn't keep getting distracted!

The Weather Outside Is Frightful!

I simply can't believe that weather has become so dreadful just for the weekend. I don't know why I am so surprised after all with 25 years (no laughing) of living in the UK I should be used to a spot of inclemancy. Never fear it will not dampen my spirits as it's my favourite day of the week. Saturday is my day to be in the lovely boutique and get to chat to my delightful customers. It's been a tad quiet today but Emily, our wonderful Saturday girl, and I have been working wonders on the Plums Lingerie Website. We've added more information on shipping and sizing, not thrilling but very very useful.

Meanwhile in the shop we've had a day filled with bikinis and T -shirt bras, so very optomistic! I really must help myself to a bikini or two before everything in my size goes. I would hate not to be cutting a dash on the golden sands of St Ouen. It may not be the Riveria but that's not an excuse not to look glamorous!

Fergie looks spectacular wearing marlies|dekkers in the latest music video of The Black Eyed Peas!

05-06-2009

Fergie, the strong woman of worldwide known hip-hop crew B.E.P. chose marlies|dekkers as her main outfit for their latest single ‘I gotta feeling’!! She looks wonderful wearing a bra of the Triangle collection.
The Black Eyed Peas had their big breakthrough in 2003 with the catchy song ‘Where is the love’. After their fourth album Will.i.am and Fergie went on solo. Now the B.E.P blast back with their new album ‘The E.N.D’ (Energy Never Dies) which has just been released in The Netherlands…

The energetic B.E.P are touring all over the world this summer, so be prepared because with the B.E.P in town it will be buzzing all night!

As soon as I get the new collection in store I'll pop up a post!

social media malarkey

Here I am all on my lonesome in the boutique today so I thought I would constructively use my time working out how to put my blog, twitter and facebook together to work in perfect harmony. Unfortunately I still have no idea how to show my blogger updates on www.plumslingerie.com. I have managed to get twitter on there which is a small achievement.

There seems to be no end to the ways I can communicate to everyone out there. This doesn't even include the emails I send to Plums Lingerie's faithful followers who have visited the shop and my lovely exotic overseas customers. I seem to be constantly blogging, commenting, feeding back, emailing and texting. It such a welcome change when I actually get to speak to a customer face to face.

As for these communications the latest has been an email to everyone about the gorgeous Eternal Spirits corsets. Tricia has been speaking to the lovely Susi Henson, the creator of Eternal Spirits, about coming to visit our little boutique to help us launch them in Jersey. It's so exciting but difficult to choose which ones we want! I desperately want to have the fushia pink leather one with black tassels!

We haven't got a date set yet but as so as we do I'll post it as we are taking appointments for personal fittings and made to measure corsets!
