Karolina Laskowska is back!

A good reason to return to this blog is talking about Karolina Laskowska and her new collection for 2013/2014. If you follow this blog you've already seen what beauties she's able to do. For the newbies, Karolina is an indie designer based in London and also a Contour Fashionstudent  at De Monfort University. Her lingerie is so gorgeous you wont stop staring at it. The first thing I loved from her was her harnesses but this new collection is way far more beautiful (if that's even possible).

This collection is full of lace, sheer and kimono fabrics, which are awesomely used in the Ume knickers, corset and pasties, made from different fabrics which make them unique.I specially love the Monika set, I usually go for the black ones but this bra and knicker pair absolutely amazing. If you wanna grab some of KL creations you should go to her site [karolinalaskowska.co.uk] or to Kiss Me Deadly page, where she's having a pop up sale and also exclusive items like pasties and suspenders to complete your collection.

And now, onto the lovely designs. The photos are taken by Catherine Day, the make up artist is Jade Crean and the model is Karolina herself!

Frilly love


Frilly knickers 1

Good Easter afternoon! Hope you're having a good day wherever you are. In this post I'm about to express my love for frilly knickers. I only have two but there are tons that I would love having. The blue ones where purchased while living in Rome in my Erasmus year. They're from a store called OVS, famous there but quite unknown outside Italy. I got them for like 3 euros, they're not high quality but I adore the color and how cute they are.

The black ones are something completely different. They're the classic frilly knickers from FairyGothMother. I saw them a long time ago in their site but I got them on a sale the lovely Morgana (Threnody in Velvet and Iberian Black Arts) did on her facebook page (you should check it out, there are lots of cute things). These are fantabulous. I got a size Large (I'm usually a Medium) but this way I got more frills and they sit perfectly on my hips.

Harness? yes, please

Dress: Asos

A blog post before the regular two months hiatus? Yeah, it's possible. Today I' blogging about a wonderful lingerie piece that arrived in my life. I'm talking about the Kordelia harness from Karolina Laskowska. If you haven't heard about this woman, you should start checking her website because you'll be amazed.

First time I've seen her designs was in a series of photographs Felice Fawn published. I loved the edgy, structured and specially dark style of those bras. Time after that, she started her own website, selling her garments. The Pentagram playsuit is still on my wishlist but what really caught my eye was the Kordelia harness.

And after months of lurking, I got it on one of the sample sales she did on her facebook page. You may think, "blah, that's really simple" but you would be completely wrong. I've worn it both as outerwear and as lingerie and it is fantastic. Works wonders for your cleavage and adds that dangerous and strong bit to any outfit you may wear.

In these photos I'm sporting it as outerwear with an Asos dress. Apologies for my tired face after 9 hours of work. I hope the vision of Byron will make it more bearable hihi.
