Palamuti by PJ Valenciano

fashion July 09, 2015

We tend to have the misconception that everything coming from asian countries is of low quality and mass produced but we forget that even those countries still have their independent artists who are working hard to make unique pieces. It is why I was very pleased when I discovered Palamuti by PJ Valenciano. They have a group of women artisans who each specialise in different skills, such as embroidery or beading or wire wrap jewellery. Their accessories are uncommon, inspired by traditional Philippines' art.

Their guiding principles are:

- Sustainable livelihood

- Empowering consciousness

- Creative conditions for artisans

- Value for work and labour

- Responsible consumerism

- Promotion of local and homegrown materials

They had sent me a lovely clutch bag made by Paola Germar in black beads and stones, a beaded flower necklace in red and black by and a wire wrap necklace with real pearls, onyx and jet black beads made by Steph Lopez. As you can see in the photos, they are very well made and quite elegant, perfect to be the star of a cocktail evening.

So go ahead and check out their designs for sale, you will certainly find an original piece for you!

Shoespie Wishlist

advertising June 26, 2015

To be honest, I can’t imagine a world without shoes. Shoes became more than just to walk on and to protect your feet. Nowadays they’re statements, eye catchers. Yes, I am a shoeholic. I can fall in love with a pair of high heels or some knee boots so badly. The best thing is, now when the new season started, the (online) shops are filled with new musthaves. That’s why there is a new wishlist here on the blog, to show you my latest cravings.

Lately I discovered this awesome shoe boutique called Shoespie (http://www.shoespie.com/). You can’t even count the shoes they have! There are so many different sorts and different styles that I really love this site. They have loads of stiletto heels for women (http://www.shoespie.com/C/Stiletto-Heels-101409/). The ones with glitter or a touch of metallic you’re a 100% party proof! And I also found quite a few gothic looking boots that got me rethinking my budget.

So if you are looking for some fairly cheap high heels, here is where you can find them (http://www.shoespie.com/C/Heels-c1-101402/). As we all want the best products for a good price I think you should really check out Shoespie and the sale thy currently have going on. I am sure you’ll love it as much as I do!

Vdesign Corset Review

corsets June 22, 2015

Waist training is usually easier in underbust corsets, but it is not impossible to be done in an overbust as well if the pattern is well drafted. I was quite lucky to come across this gorgeous design and it was instant love. My favorite things about it are the contrast between the beige and black with that beautiful waist insert drawing the attention to the area, the beige stitching around the boning channels and the overall resemblance to a victorian corset from the 1880s.

This beauty was made by Valeria Toloknova of Vdesign, who is a bespoke corset designer and model. She can custom make your own garment to fit perfectly to your measurements for the most comfortable wear.

The corset has 6 panels and 8 steel bones (including the 2 that flank the grommets) in a mix of flat and spiral on each side, plus a sturdy but flexible busk. The busk ends lower, with only 6 loops and at the top it ties with a ribbon through hidden grommets, for the extra decoration. At the back, there are also 15 black grommets on each side. There is an attached front modesty panel and also a boned floating panel for the back, which I didn't wear during the shoot as I am stil seasoning the corset and this way I can tighten it easier (also the reason of the uneven gap, which I will ask you to forgive me for. It is the curse of a small busted girl, having to pull in the top while the waist is not yet accustomed). The fabric is a strong cotton coutil and the interior is lined with the same beige cotton. The sewing is very neat for this handmade corset and I was pleased to find that it is quite a comfortable wear too, despite the fact that overbusts are usually more restrictive. I can't wait to finish seasoning it and perhaps integrate it into some other future shoots, with a vintage flair. And I would definitely recommend it to someone looking to buy a quality overbust!

Be sure to check the Vdesign facebook page to see more unique works!

And many thanks to Jacques Hermitte for the photographs!

And there should be plenty of art ahead and a more careful choice of collaborations to bring you lots of delicious and witchy news! So enough blah-blah for now. I'll leave you to enjoy these photos and the promise of rebirth of the blog.

Red Like Winter Berries

fashion January 18, 2015

It's been a very mild winter here and the only snow I've seen was on the short trip to the mountains during the winter holidays. Holidays that I've spent learning from morning until night time. I guess I've been finding refuge in knowledge these past months.

But on a fashion note, I didn't think much of this dress at first, but now I adore it. Simple but quite elegant, with a lovely multiple straps detail. I'm thinking it would even make a good stage dress if I ever get to hold any concerts with my new band. Maybe add a few black beads and sparkly lace and it will be perfect!

Fecbek Dress, Geox boots, vintage coat, Mimi Pompadour headband

Conspiracies of a Lady: Icons of Disillusion

fashion November 30, 2014

Uni is crazy as always but we learn some really nice things (I even made my first paracetamol pill, woo!). But it's been quite a while since I took a break, so this weekend when I went to Paris, it was a real treat. Of course, being me, I ended up taking photos in front of a generic bush that you can find anywhere else. Because it had pretty red berries. But either way, the rest of the day was mostly visiting museums and shops, not exactly better backgrounds. None of the usual touristic attractions this time since I have already seen them many times now.

Oasap skirt, Pimkie sweater, Geox boots

Black Friday shopping was very brief for me, I am still longing for a new laptop and a new camera that I just can't find a decent offer for. But at least there is Cyber Monday to make up for it with lost of websites holding sales! Be sure to check out this one from Oasap!

Choosing the Best Corset For You With The Burgandy Boudoir

advertising August 07, 2014

When I was looking for my first corset, I wandered how to choose the best one for me. All the models were very attractive but I didn't know much about the structure and making of a corset. Back then, there were few tutorials online so I had to learn along the way. My favorites quickly became the steel boned corsets that allow to pull in the waist a lot without creasing. Which is one thing my new Red Burlesque Corset from The Burgandy Boudoir does perfectly. It's great for someone who is more used to wearing corsets and it's nice and thick thanks to the cotton lining. It would also work great for a busty girl since it has plenty of room at the top. The extra features are the modesty panel at the back and the slots for inserting garters. It makes quite a comfortable wear and the outer fabric has a gorgeous sheen, plus the color and pattern were just like in the product photos, no faults at all! And it's also perfect for an early stage of waist training, when you need to get used to the feel of a sturdy corset. The laces it came with are also great, which is rare for an OTC corset! They make it easy to lace and unlace and are thick enough to hold it all in place.

Make sure to check out the rest of the shop to find your ideal corset. There are plenty of models to choose from for all occasions, underbusts included! And they come with a lovely thank you card too!
