Marlies Dekkers - Thankyou Coco de Mer.
I recently discovered Marlies Dekkers when i went all over London trying to find creations from Obey My Demand. I found this amazing little boutique called Coco de Mer. The woman was extrememly helpful and told me about Marlies Dekkers and although at first i was dubious, i fell in love. The idea seems so simple. The Undressed collection seems so simple but i love it. It mainly features bras that have almost strings at the top of the breasts, as shown above. These are visible in most clothes, as long as they aren't high-necked. To be honest, if you had one of these creations why would you hide it? I like how its part of the garment, such magnificent lingerie shouldn't be hidden away.

Chantal Thomass
I recently discovered Chantal Thomass on my hunt for inspirational lingerie designers and fell in love with Chantal Thomass' classic French style. It is flirtatious, fun and sexy. Whenever she does a collection, they all follow the same theme, obviously; however, i love how when her designs are photographed they fit within these themes perfectly. Also, i love how she can create such differently styled collections with such small garments! She's so fun and quirky and just from seeing Chantal Thomass you can tell what an artistic and fun person she is. I am also impressed that some of her bras go up to a size E! Which is a giant thumbs up from me.
Love at First Sight.
The last present left in my bag of goodies on Christmas day by far made my day. After i ripped off the wrapping paper and saw the blue signature box, i gasped. My mother knows i love Westwood, and these gorgeous shoes were a complete and utter surprise, a rather amazing surprise at that. I already have some flats, in black with peep toes and colourful plastic bows fixed to the front, but boots were perfect to add to my small collection - which i can now call it, two pair's counts!
The boots can be worn as wellies, as the plastic exterior is waterproof and and easily wipeable, however, there is no way i will be walking through muddy puddles in these beauties.
The best part? The smell of bubble gum follows me where ever i go.
Dita Von Teese - Vivienne Westwood.
I find this photo quite misleading, i thought it was a photo that i had never seen before, however, it is the shiny purple dress that mainly relates Dita Von Teese to Vivienne Westwood in any google image search. I must say, it looks far more appealing in the almost navy it appears to be in this image.
What i love about it is Westwoods classic corset incorporated into this highly elegant and flattering wedding dress, completely suited to Miss Von Teese. The bodice accentuates her extremely thin waist and her curvaceous frame. I also love the neck line, making her breast look amazing. The rest of the fabric then billows out, creating such a beautiful silhouette. There is so much material involved in the skirt that her tiny waist is almost lost amongst it.
