Luckily, and not a moment too soon, the sun has decided to make a warming appearance in our little corner of the world. With it you might think of sunscreen, days at the beach or margaritas on the patio in the evening. And when it comes time to slumber, you might think of this: "I'm hot!"
At Secret Drawers Lingerie we can't supply you with sunscreen and you're on your own on the margaritas but we can help you stay cool under the covers with today's featured product: the blue wisteria shorty by BedHead.
We sell a lot of BedHead throughout the year because nothing matches its quality. It's 100% superior quality cotton that never pills, stretches or fades. One pair of these pjs and you'll be sleeping with a smile for seasons to come.
Today's design, new in now, is the BedHead blue wisteria shorty. This adorable pajama set is fully piped, has pearlized buttons and has a hybrid drawstring and elastic waist for comfort and fit. Its cheery summer print was exclusively designed by BedHead founder, Claire Bertrand. We think you'll find that this sleep set makes a great gift or travel companion. Come in and see why today.
Christmas is coming. Hopefully, you knew that, but did you know that it's only 3 weeks away! Yeah. It seems awfully close to us too. So we want to help you out. We want to give you a gift guide for everyone on your list. Here are some great Christmas gifts for the curvy women in your life.
1. Hanky Panky Thongs (standard or retro)
Hanky Panky is a no-brainer for so many because once women go Hanky Panky, they just don't go back.

2. Hanky Panky Lace Camis (XS - 3XL)

They are made of 100% of Hanky Panky's classic lace. This means they stretch and flex with every bend and are extremely comfortable - not scratchy.

The ruched detail adds some flirty style to the mix and the cheery songbirds will sing you awake each morning while stretch cotton will keep you comfortable each night.
Light and airy, these Beadhead fashions have to be felt to be fully appreciated. But do it soon, because these birds are flying out the door fast.
Bed head. When spelled this way it might make you think of jumbled, chaotic locks, but when Bedhead is spelled as one word, it means something else. Bedhead means classic comfort with a fun twist.
Bedhead is one of our best-selling sleepwear lines for a simple reason: they're a long-lasting joy to wear. Once you invest in Bedhead, you'll be enjoying it for years to come.
This week the new pattern we have in - and it's going fast - is the Pink Holland Tulip both in a pj and in a short chemise. The pj is in a class voile and the chemise is in a stretch fabric. Both are 100% cotton.
Pink tulips pop on this young and happy style. These designs are perfect for warmer nights when you want to slip into something a little lighter. You'll find sky blue detailing on both designs and an empire waste on the chemise.
And watch this space to be the first to see additional Bedhead styles due in. It's time to spring into fresh Bedhead.
Well, it's official, the weather has definitely turned on the West Coast. Courtenay has gone from streaming sun to raging rain. But that's OK. We're tough West-Coasters and we can take it.
But there's no harm in softening winter's blow and at Secret Drawers Lingerie, we think you can do it with pajamas. Cozy, warm, stylish, relaxed pajamas.
To the right you'll see a pj design that just came in. It's the Black New York Botanical print by BedHead. We've been carrying BedHead for years and we can attest to its long-wearing beauty. Pick a set up this year and don't be surprised if five years down the road, people still mistake it as new.
Find these and other stylish BedHead pajamas in both a stretch and polished cotton. And don't forget the matching BedHead robe. Then you can scoff at the rain in style.
BedHead is superior quality sleepwear and we barely have to utter its name before it goes flying off the shelves. Our last shipment was gone in two weeks.
This new BedHead design is called Savannah Mums. It is a rich coral adorned by lemon and ivory flowers with a baby-blue scalloped trim. This BedHead pajama is perfect for sleeping and lounging as it's a light cotton with a 5% lycra content meaning that it will stretch when you do.
This two-piece cap sleeve lounge set is available in sizes small through large. This pattern is also available in an alternative design - shorts and a spaghetti strap top.
New BedHead pajamas in this week are already selling like really comfortable hotcakes. These items are cute, fun and resemble summer dresses you might wear out in the sun.
To the right is the BedHead Little Tokyo stretch ballet gown. This cotton gown flows down to the ankles and uses small buttons for detail. It's lightly gathered under the bust for a flattering shape. Brightly-coloured Asian images will make you smile as you flounce about in this gown.
On the left is the Palm Springs Paisley Pool chemise by BedHead. This PJ provides a bit of a sexier look while remaining every bit as comfortable and easy to wear. Throw it on while you sip drinks on the deck.
We'll be featuring more styles of BedHead as well as this is just the start of our lighter pajama lines. Flannel or cotton, thick or thin, BedHead has a style that will suit you.
Winter brings about our shipments of pajamas. We carry lines of pajamas in silk, flannel, jersey and other materials.
One of our most popular brands for Christmas gift-giving is Bedhead. This year we have pink and grey Eiffel Tower, blue 3-D stripe, snow leopard, blue Abbey Road and fleur de lis prints.
These pajamas are the ones people crave year after year because not only do they look and feel amazing, but they get even softer with washing and last for many winters to come. Some designs are in flannel while others are in a stretch jersey. Either way, they make lounging a more fun and comfortable proposition.
Bedhead doesn't save itself just for the cooler weather, as anyone can attest after seeing my curls on an August morning. Luckily, BedHead pajamas improve the look substantially.
New BedHead pjs are in pink Carolina paisley and Tiffany blue fleur de lis voile (pattern seen right). The style of BedHead pajamas we're carrying has a t-shirt top and a stretch cap sleeve adorned with a slight ruffle at the top.
These spring colours are in 100% cotton in sizes small through large.
For something a little darker, there is the Midnight Etched Rose Classic Stretch pajama by BedHead. This features the unique combination of the mystery of midnight with the innocence of a white rose.
The Midnight Etched Rose is 95% cotton and 5% stretch material for extra comfort in every stretch and twist. This sophisticated pajama has an elastic waistband and is available in size small through extra-large.
And one thing we can absolutely guarantee is that BedHead pajamas wash and wear beautifully. They never pill and get softer every time you wash them. One pair will make BedHead something you look forward to for a long time to come.
As this is the new year we thought we'd take a look back at some of our favorite lingerie, loungewear and, of course, underwear items from 2010. Today we'll reveal numbers 10 - 6.
10. Bedhead Pajamas - These are a top-of-the-line pajama that wash and wear beautifully a are a long-time favorite of ours. They are a finer cotton flannel than is normally found in pajamas.
Many were snapped up for Christmas, but if you weren't lucky to find a pair under your tree, stop by and try on a pair.
9. The Empreinte Lingerie line - The Empreinte line keeps coming out with superior bras and matching underwear that make a full-figured woman look her very best. We wear it and we love it.
6. Fashion 78 from the Felina Conturelle Dessous line - OK, we admit, that's a mouthful, but the sophisticated beauty of this piece makes it worth it. The Fashion 78 from Felina does look extraordinary on the hanger, but the reason it makes our top 10 list is because of the superior way it compliments a woman's body all the way up to an H cup.

See Santa Downtown this Weekend

The Christmas parade route is Fifth Street from Harmston to Cliffe Avenue. After the parade, visit with Santa Claus at the Sid Williams Theatre, have some hot chocolate and see a live nativity.
This weekend is the official launch of the festive season, so we do hope to see you in town enjoying the hot chocolate and candy canes.
On Vancouver Island we experience a varied climate from crisp and sunny, to mild and wet and even cold and icy atop Mt. Washington. Luckily, whether you play in the snow, or escape the chill in front of a fire, we have winter pieces to keep you feeling cozy.
Thick and Cozy
A perennial favorite is Bedhead pajamas and we have been carrying them for years due to their comfort and universally popular designs. To the right is the Bedhead Jade Vienna design, in cotton, which has just arrived in-store.
For those looking to mix-and-match, Blush pajamas come in colourful, cotton tops and plaid, flannel bottoms, allowing you to create your own unique look.
And of course, look for new lines of robes from Diamond Tea and Bella Notte for the ultimate decadence right out of the shower, or lounging all day long.
Secret Drawers Lingerie is lucky enough to be located in the beautiful Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. Here, we enjoy breathtaking views of Mt. Washington, the Comox Glacier, and the Pacific Ocean. In fact, we can enjoy these views while drinking coffee in our pajamas.
Or we could, if we lived in The Shores at King Coho. Our beautiful model on the right is lucky enough to be relaxing in her BedHead pj's on a balcony in one of their beautiful condos. The greens, and hints of blue and yellow in her outfit fit in perfectly with natural, peaceful surroundings.
While we're on the subject, we love the beautiful wooden arches, and granite counter-tops found in the condo bathrooms. Our model's black-and-white, sunflower, BedHead pajamas go perfectly with the modern, clean lines of the rectangular, white sink and dark, granite counter-tops.
Our model didn't mind taking as many shots as we wanted as the tile floors are electrically heated. Cuddly, sunflower, BedHead pajamas should always be accompanied with warm toes.
(She also looked longingly at the body massagers built into the shower, but unfortunately we had to pull her away for other shots. Being a model can be tough sometimes.)
And finally, Nena's personal favorite, an exquisite Bella Notte robe worn by our model in a library complete with built-in bookcases and hardwood floors. With this much space, Nena would finally have a place to put all the books she voraciously reads.
I also adore the luxury of the Bella Notte robe. It's in a silk-velvet which can only be truly appreciated in person. It's longer in the back, allowing multi-colored glints of light to trail gently behind you as you move. It drapes beautifully over a woman's curvaceous frame.
Our summer BedHead pajamas are here in fun, new patterns including sunflowers, peacocks, an Asian theme and even pure white and tan stripes for those seeking a classic look. Their 100% fine cotton sateen fabric is cool enough for warm summer nights but soft enough to make you want to cuddle up with a good book. BedHead pajamas are proudly 100% made in North America.
The budding nature found in spring and summer was the obvious inspiration for many of these new designs, including the green peacock feather set seen to the right. Rich blues and greens work with a multitude of skin types and evoke images of colorful summer fields.
BedHead's unconventional black-and-white sunflower pajamas, seen left, might not scream the gold and green found in nature, but this unusual design adds a fun sophistication to your nighttime wardrobe. These too are make in 100% fine cotton sateen.
Secret Drawers Lingerie is still carrying the flannel Eiffel Tower design in the night shirt and pajama as well, for those looking for something a little warmer or with international flair.
Vashti and I are going to spend our lazy summer Sundays in one of these beautiful patterns and keep a look out for the fall collection: it's still a surprise!
At Secret Drawers Lingerie we can't supply you with sunscreen and you're on your own on the margaritas but we can help you stay cool under the covers with today's featured product: the blue wisteria shorty by BedHead.
