We had big hopes for the new issue of V magazine as we'd been told that lots of our lingerie had been used. I don't know what went wrong but unfortunately the only piece that ended up being featured was our CC09 bra. We can't really complain though as we're still swooning from the Lara Stone pics in the Fall issue!

I've been a long time fan of Kiss Me Deadly's Vargas, a combination waist cincher and girdle which is cut saucily high over the bottom. Why didn't I think of that? Luckily we're not like some other vintage lingerie companies one of whom has been very 'heavily inspired' by Kiss Me Deadly's version. This season the Vargas girdle is available in ivory which is ideal as Spring and lighter clothing approach. Keep an eye on Kiss Me Deadly's Diary for an exclusive lovebomb offer.

It has to be said that wearing stockings in the cold British winters is for die-hards only. Luckily Kriss Soonik has come to the rescue with a cosy black turtleneck with suspenders! Yes, at first it sounds like a crazy idea, but on closer inspection it is the perfect thing to wear on Valentine's Day. They sexy keyhole cut out at the back gives a hint that something more interesting might be going on, whilst you can flash your stocking tops with abandon whilst the rest of you stays nice and warm. Sign up to Kriss's newsletter to win one!

I was lucky enough to meet Lorraine from Miss Mandalay in the early days of WKD and it was refreshing to meet someone in the same business who was so helpful. Of course, now I know this tends to be the
norm, but at the time I thought the independent lingerie scene would be rather more bitchy! Miss Mandalay specialises in cup sizes C-GG and our pic for Valentine’s Day is their classic black lace Mia range. Keep an eye on her Facebook page for an exclusive Lovebomb offer.

If you’re a fan of burlesque you’ll love Candy Baker’s hosiery which features a wealth of diamante embellishments. Obviously at WKD we’re fans of classic hosiery and so our favourite line of Candy’s is the Back Seam Tights which feature a crystal seam. Whether you’re a high-kicking showgirl or just want to add some sparkle to your step you’ll catch someone’s eye in these! Check out Candy Baker's blog for an exclusive Lovebomb offer.

We've teamed up with 9 other independent lingerie brands to bring you a Valentine's Lovebomb!

As a fan of WKD you'll already be aware that independent brands offer something different from the general high street blurgh and over the last few years lots of new brands have appeared that you might not be aware of. With Valentine's Day fast approaching we decided it was a perfect time to introduce you to some of the most cutting edge lingerie brands on the market today.

I'm going to keep the names of the brands secret at the moment (although if you really can't wait you can find out a little more over at The Lingerie Addict) but the picture below will give you a clue as to the kind of lingerie that will be featured. Starting on Monday we'll be introducing a brand every day, letting you know our favourite piece from their collections. Each brand will also be doing an exclusive giveaway or offer so be sure to check out their blog and Facebook pages so you don't miss out. I can't wait to show the goodies we have in store!

I told you Besame were going for it in 2012! This time they're in February's issue of Marie Claire (US). Their Cream Rouge is featured: here's what Marie Claire says - 'whenever I'm left with only 90 second to get out the door, I turn to Besame's cream rouge... I swipe this on cheeks and lips then toss the slim tin into my bag for touch ups on the go. The foolproof result: a healthy, well rested flush'. Here at WKD we agree entirely, their cream rouge is currently our favourite Besame product.

Our Harlow Bullet Bra is featured in issue 3 of Lovecat magazine (The Art Issue). It's available from good fashion magazine stockists including Selfridges, who's magazine department is now my favourite place to browse in London. You can also download an issue direct from Lovecat.

Besame cosmetics aren't wasting any time in 2012! Their Cream Rouge, Signature Compact and Sweetheart Balm are all featured in the movie 'The Artist'. We love Besame cosmetics as the founders - Gabriela and Fergus - are just as obsessed as we are about getting the smallest retro detail right: from the perfect premium ingredients to the finish on a vintage style glass jar. I always love visiting their hq in Glendale, California to see what Gabriela has been working on, and let me tell you, she has some amazing products
coming out soon.
