Birds, Lingerie...






images via here

We are trying to find a common theme with each of these pictures by Greg Kadel...there's definitely the lingerie and big blowing hair, but we can't quite figure where the bird motif works itself in.  Even though it doesn't make a lot of sense, it certainly is striking! 
That first image with the garter panty & stockings is superb, and we love the use of the cupless bra in the third image down.  We are always suggesting the cupless/open bras to our customers as a layering piece/accessory for your outerwear, and that open bra layered under the dress is the perfect interpretation of it.  In fact, we might just try that look ourselves tomorrow (with the Myla 'Simone' Triangle Bra)...it's so fun being inspired by fashion!
We actually featured Kadel in our last blog post, and usually don't feature the same photographer back to back, but what the heck!  These pictures just had to be shared...and besides, we're going to use that first picture to create a new graphic for the Twitter link on our blog's sidebar.
