Bank Holiday Sales Round-Up (May 2016)

Posted on by

Hey lovelies! Sorry for the radio silence over here – those who follow me on social media will already know this, but I’ve been a bit out of action recently due to appendicitis and subsequent surgery, not to mention sorting for university exams and my new nephew arriving seven weeks early! Anyway, I’ve been working on a few posts and should be back to regular posting soon, but since it’s currently a bank holiday weekend here in the UK, many lingerie and clothing brands are offering bank holiday sales and discounts. So, today I thought I’d do a quick round-up of what’s available!

Rochella Lucy Leopard Set Rochella Giselle Set Rochella Tattoo Butterfly Set

Rochella are offering 50% off their current collection (which I previously showcased here)! Rochella are a new premium lingerie brand, offering some really gorgeous designs right up to a J cup. Bras are usually £59, while suspender briefs and regular briefs are usually £46 and £30 respectively, so if you were curious about Rochella, now would be a great time to try them out!

Fallout Inspired Lingerie

Posted on by

Last year, the gaming community exploded with the news that the much-loved Fallout series would be receiving a new sequel. I’ve been thinking about doing a series of Fallout inspired lingerie for a while now, and with the first DLC release coming up, it seemed like the perfect time!

So, first up, Vault Boy! Vault Boy is an iconic mascot for the Fallout franchise, usually shown wearing the standard-issue vault jumpsuit in shades of bright blue and yellow.

David Bowie Lingerie

Posted on by

As many of you will know, a few days ago, the legendary musician David Bowie passed away. Bowie was an incredible songwriter, a pioneer of glam rock, and a master of reinvention, and due to my dad’s love for him, Bowie’s music made up the soundtrack to my childhood. Many tributes to him have been appearing since his death was announced, and I felt I should contribute in one of the only ways I know: lingerie. So, today I am sharing my picks for lingerie inspired by some of David Bowie’s iconic characters and personas.

First up, possibly Bowie’s most famous persona, Ziggy Stardust! Ziggy’s style was flamboyant, eyegrabbing and androgynous, with his outfits composed mainly of skin tight jumpsuits combined with flowing sleeves, geometric patterns, asymmetric cut outs and fantastical make-up.

Crystal Gems Lingerie

Posted on by

I’ve recently been watching a lot of Steven Universe, and a dear friend and I got to discussing the Crystal Gems’ individual styles. I thought it could be fun to put together some sets of lingerie inspired by the Crystal Gems, and as my friend (Lorna) is an illustrator, she thought it would be fun to do her own lingerie designs and illustrate the Crystal Gems in them. So, we decided to collaborate!

Let’s start with Pearl! Pearl’s style is elegant, floaty and ballerina-esque, using shades of duck egg blue, peachy pink, apple green and sunny yellow.

Centre: What Katie Did Clarice Bra & 1940s Tap Pants in Blue (discontinued). Continue reading →

My Top Picks for Black Friday

Posted on by

Black Friday is very much an American thing, but over the past few years, more and more UK stores have been joining in on having big sales. Which is fine by me! So, today I thought I’d share some of my top picks for sales and discounts.

Gossard Phoebe Suspender Belt

Gossard are offering 20% off everything, including pieces in the outlet category, which means you can get up to 70% off on some styles! I am very tempted by the Phoebe Suspender Belt, which is already half price off, so is just £17.60 with the discount! Discount is applied automatically at checkout. Ends at midnight tonight (Friday, 28/11/14). Continue reading →
