Little bits & bobs of me...'RETRO lingerie'

 YO!...the furthest feel from what you about to see lol! After yesterday's update I've felt so inspired to blog again; when i realized my little lingerie range was very pretty 40s styled pieces. I should have updated it with yesterday's stuff but why not upload the new things because its my own :) so have a looksie and feel feminine...'
pretty nude lips! Yes please :)

awesomely high stacked heels






>>>THE MOODBOARD<<<

My moodboard depicts the trend i worked with at the time. Pretty, nudes, peaches, cream shades and black. It portrays a  very old school glamour- sexy yet cute.

>>>MY DESIGNS<<<
My designs were quite simple, i am quite the fan of minimal design. I always think that less is more and make small detail and finishes- all designs are the same two colours: peach and black. fabrics include: stretch satin, chiffon. Finished include: lace trim, black elastic and binding and ribbon.




































Bra, high waist panties, suspenders and  stay ups.
>>>SHOES<<<
You can never go wrong with a pair of pretty nude courts- 
Teddy knickers
>>>THE PRODUCT
A stretch satin teddy knicker (one piece with press studs underneath) with and over layer of chiffon slightly  gathered under the bust. back satin bow with edged detail.

>>>THE PRODUCT
satin top gathered into the bottom chiffon camisole, roll hemmed. trimmed with black chiffon ribbon with adjustable straps. Stretch satin bottom briefs with an overlay chiffon 'skirt' the same trims as the cami 
frill arm hole sheer gown, corset and matching bottoms

'SOMETHING ODD...'

 So its been quite a while since I've updated this little spot! I've been busy sorting things out and i realized how much I've missed clothes and trends, so today i'll be telling you about the retro trend and 'little odd' but awesome pieces :) This trend is easy to pull off, and you'll look totally cool rocking it for the festive season! 

CHECK OUT THE BOARD...
A totally chic and summer style, its simple and spot on

PIECES THAT INSPIRE...

The items below are actually clothing items that are in our stores at the moment. don't be afraid to mix it up with things you already own- take something inexpensive and make it look amazing. 
sneakers rock!! i am that girl who'd go gaga over a pair of high tops before those killer heels but for this look its totally adorable and fun- lady like and street. NB! shoes and bag might no longer be in store.
Wear a basic knitted sweater, a 'granny' jersey is just as great for this look. A simple shape with a random print :)

wear formal trouser shorts or high waist shorts with this look, it pulls it together nicely
wear any excessive charm bracelet or dangly stuff form your wrists
visit costume stores, you might find some cool and unusual bags or purses


dont be afraid of the bazaar shoes, however if you not brave enough- opt for chunky heels

Check out the bag!!! :D

easy laid back chic
see the simplicity in these two looks- easy to pull off and even easier to find :) NB! the shoes and bag might no longer be in stores
simple items, yet all printed makes it striking
the adorable hat and tied up shirt- do it yourself with any tee and knot it to the side or in the middle :)
random printed blouse, with classic tweed Chanel- beautiful 
unusual necklace- check out random little jewels at Sass Diva 
wide leg jumpsuit- bold colour says it all :)
SEE HOW SIMPLE IT IS...
Pair up super modern things like a leather bag and woven wedges with something completely odd like over-sized jersey dress 

'Remember to keep makeup simple- a matte face with a wide line of liquid liner, over the top eyelashes are lovely. Super black mascara and nude lip is perfect. if you not wearing the trend in clothes, you may go all out with accessories like pointed or round sunnies with a red lip. keep hair neat wearing a low bun in the nape if makeup is bold or keep it loose and flowy if makeup is minimal.'
Good luck rocking random! ;)
