Carmine & Hayworth

It's no secret that I'm OBSESSED with vintage lingerie! I've always been fascinated by the construction and the attention to detail in each piece. The latest one I've aquired is so unbelievably ethereal it has left me almost breathless! Nemo Bra by Lilly Dache via lebunnyshoppelingerie on Etsy! I mean COME ON! Just look at the little hand sewn, Daisy details and ruffles! This perfectly mixes girly/ feminine flair with demure and virginal elegance. It doesn't hurt that is fits perfectly :) I've said it before and I will say it time and time again, they really don't make them like they used to! 1950's ad for the Lilly Dache Nemo Bra I also couldn't leave behind this little piece of nostalgia: 1960's Avon Perfume "Pretty Peach" As a little backstory, my mother has been an "Avon Lady" for as long as I can remember and anytime I see something like this I have to have it! I've always loved to collect litt

It's obvious that I've neglected this little part of the internest for quite some time, but alas, I've picked up a third job because I'm insane ;p My hoarding/ collecting habits have hit quite a fever pitch especially with Victorian era pieces. Once I start getting those a bit organized, I will have a hell of a time documenting them! I've had a bit more fun creating different looks over the past few weeks, even though the weather, in my corner of the world, has included subzero temperatures and snow.... fantastic, right?

Bustier: Vintage 1950's via eBay Gold Lurex "Lilli Diamond" Dress: Via BirthdayLife Vintage Normally, this time of year, my collecting tends to hit a slow patch due to the weather, but certain pieces have literally been falling into my lap and I can't ignore it.
