I'm a big fan of slow fashion. Buying garments because I truly love them, waiting for exactly the right thing rather than impulse purchasing and, wherever possible, investing in well-made lovingly-designed pieces that will remain in my wardrobe for years. Sometimes you need to spend a little bit more to get something that's just right... Continue Reading →
Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend the iconic event Goodwood Revival for the first time, and so I thought I'd share a little window into my experience. I volunteered to help out on the Gowns by Roberta stand, and planned to attend for most of the time that the event was open to... Continue Reading →
I first discovered Gowns by Roberta last year on Instagram and was instantly drawn to the timeless glamour of the brand, and its iconic red rose motif. I have a deep love of the colour red and of roses, so this made all of the skirts very appealing... even before I learnt that the velvet... Continue Reading →
I love discovering the work of talented independent lingerie designers through recommendations from friends and so was very excited when, last month, I saw Tigz Rice mention Miss Vivienne on her Instagram stories. Not only are the designs stunning, with beautiful fabrics and details, but Vivienne Lynch also makes every piece to order in her... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I went to visit the annual Pin-Up Pop-Up Shop organised by Ronke Fashola, the brains behind vintage-inspired ethical fashion brand Love ur Look. Each year she organises a pop-up featuring a selection of UK independent fashion brands with a vintage style, where you can meet the makers and try on a gorgeous selection of... Continue Reading →
I have kept a close eye on the London College of Fashion BA (Hons) Fashion Contour graduates since 2014* and was lucky enough to be invited along to the catwalk event organised by this year's graduating class. On Thursday 12th July, I headed to east London for an evening of lingerie, loungewear and swimwear, featuring... Continue Reading →
Fans of exquisite lingerie will have seen it already, but I just couldn't resist posting about the stunning Aurora collection, which is a collaboration between luxury full-bust brand Harlow & Fox and award winning couture lingerie designer Karolina Laskowska. The more you look at it, the more the details jump out at you. Before long,... Continue Reading →
I've clearly not been paying enough attention to some of my favourite brands lately, because some news just popped up in the private Lingerie Addicts group on Facebook that I somehow missed last month... Angela Friedman is moving to London! This was announced on 8th January and is very exciting news for London-based lingerie addicts.... Continue Reading →
Back in 2014, I reviewed a bra from London-based lingerie brand Playful Promises which was their first to go up to a UK F cup. A year later, when they released more E and F cup styles, I blogged about the process the brand underwent to develop these styles and ensure a good fit. In... Continue Reading →
I'm not usually one for swooning over lingerie lookbooks. Where other bloggers or lingerie obsessives will coo over every minute detail of a brand's latest collection, I have to admit to sadly becoming quite blasé. But all that changed when I opened an email from luxury fuller bust brand Harlow & Fox and my jaw... Continue Reading →
