Ell & Cee

You may have noticed a lot of news out of the U.K. this weekend. Unless a certain new bride is found to have purchased something from this brand, they probably won't be included in the millions of words, but the attention did remind me I've long wanted to do a post on the U.K.'s Ell & Cee.



Notice I didn't say 'lingerie brand'. They've expanded into other items as well, but they started with beautiful lingerie, and happily haven't left it.



I suspect Ell & Cee = the L&C in their founder's name, Laura Cloke. Read more of the story here on their website.



I don't know if it's a British charm or just the classic/vintage look of their designs, but if you were to try and describe typical beautiful lingerie, coming up with any of their sets would work well. They also seem to have a knack for using lace and sheerness.

Amanda Righetti Returns In Sheer Blue. Oh yeah, in The Mentalist, Too

The new season of one of CBS' biggest hits of last year, The Mentalist starts tomorrow night. Simon Baker may be the lead, but his costar Amanda Righetti is defiantly the star material for a frankufotos Lingerie post or two. She's previously been in The O.C., the short-lived Reunion, a few movies and a Levi's jeans commercial you may remember.



The above photos are from a Self magazine shoot. You can also check out Ms. Righetti's official web site and MySpace page.

Blue Monday 8 10 09

Amanda Righetti starts the week the way a lot of ladies do - in her nightgown. Too bad we all have to get dressed and go to work. Then again, maybe she doesn't have to just yet. She plays Grace Van Pelt on the CBS series The Mentalist starring Simon Baker, and the new season doesn't start until September 24th.
