{runway inspiration: karl lagerfeld + milan}

fendi, milan


. . . the runways of milan were wispy pink, ivory and ecru, in linen and tulle and ruffles and frills, all mixed with softly frayed edges, loosely piled hair and high, high heels wrapped in bows . . .



{p.s.}
* more wispy loveliness at the side project

* aren't the perspex clutches stunning?

Lingerie As Outerwear...Really...




Marc Jacobs runway SS2010

Every time New York Fashion Week hits, we eagerly search for any trends having to do with lingerie, and Marc Jacobs hit the spot! Though admittedly we aren't crazy about this look, it certainly is fun and noteworthy. Actually, if the trend of wearing your bra outside your blouse catches on, we will be in heaven...finally a way to show off all of the beautiful pieces that we own! Though we have a feeling that won't be happening anytime soon.
The bras kind of remind us of The Lake & Stars...perhaps Marc Jacobs was inspired while reading about them on the Frou Frou Fashionista! (okay, yeah right).

Jessica Stam

We love Jessica Stam, so it's very exciting to share some of these beautiful images of her from Numero Korea (October 2009). She glams it up in her undies paired with a bustier, jacket and even a fur (we hope it's fake...there's no reason to use real fur in this day & age). We love the shot with the fishnet stockings - it seems like lately anything that is paired with fishnets is automatically a favorite (it's likely we're just excited about being able to wear our own Falke stockings when the weather cools down).

. . . another whirlwind week has come and gone and this weekend is tall boots and fallen leaves, brisk afternoons and warm tartan blankets, and in the evenings, tulle dresses and moonlight . . .

Frou Frou Fridays

Sarah from La Jeune Marie

Today marks the final installment of our Frou-Frou Fridays series at La Jeune Marie. This week's theme is Anniversary Lingerie, which means we selected pieces that are dramatic and dazzling.
Thank you to Sarah for providing us with this very fun opportunity! We also hope our readers have been enjoying Sarah's boudoir photos; she perfectly demonstrates how boudoir photos do not have to be overdone and tacky (unless you want that!), but instead can be elegant and tasteful. We hope this inspires you to get one done as a treat to yourself (and your special someone)!

The Lake & Stars - Fall 2009











photography by Matt Sundin

Everyone's favorite lingerie brand, The Lake & Stars, has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2009 collection titled "A Shot in the Dark". In true TLS fashion, their catalogue includes images worthy of W Magazine (just wait until you see their Spring images!) and the designs remain true to the brands roots. We love how designers Nikki and Maayan take the best-selling looks of a previous season and add new life into them in a way we could have never imagined. That's what true talent is all about. A fun little fact: for "A Shot in the Dark" each group is named after a battle that was fought at night; Waterloo, Sedgemoor, Barnet & Franklin. There's always a fun fact with everything TLS does...even their wash instruction tags are imaginative!
