Lace-it’s something that never goes out of style. If you are looking to update your closet, it’s the go-to texture for any season, any occasion. Lace is delicate, yet durable-somehow managing the stress of the harsher wash cycle when you accidentally throw a pair of lace panties in with the darks. It’s affordable, flirty, and [...]
With seemingly no end to the wet weather here at home, I jetted off to Miami at the weekend hoping to ‘color up’ a little, throw in a bit of trend spotting and do some urgent bikini shopping. Well I accomplished all three of these, though my translucent white skin hasn’t seen the sun for [...]

After the teenage revolutions of the 1960s, unique sub-cultural styles began to flourish in the seventies. Glam Rock, Punk, Disco, and Funk music all had a strong impact on society, and of course, fashions of the decade. The seventies were a retro-fuelled decade style-wise; the decadent accoutrements of the roaring twenties and glamorous thirties inspired [...]

So the modern bra as we know it really kicked off in the 1960′s when the first real strides in stretch fabrics were being made (my previous log entitled ‘The Stretch Revolution’ covers this).

What is it about black lingerie that is so tantalizing and sexy? There is something dangerous and glamorous about a woman in black bra and panties, yet it is hard to pin point what it is exactly that makes it so tantalizing.
