bustier

Good evening lovelies!

I can see that you love a bit of history in my previous post. I really appreciate it. So in this vast blogosphere full of inspirations from magazines and street styles, I am not the only one who is interested in how our wardrobes turned out the way they are now.

Now, I take it inside out by sharing with you this bustier with beautiful embroidery that I am in love with.

Most women think a bustier is a fancy piece of lingerie, it actually is. And since it is fancy, it is absolutely acceptable if we wear it as outer wear. I have never tried going out the way I was in these photos though :))

As its name suggests, a bustier is used to enhance your bust by slightly tightening your abdominal part. And a corset? Well, it purposely gives you a pint-sized waist by taking your breath away :)))

pleated mathematics

Hello smart people!

I must confess that I am not good at math (is it a privilege reserved for designers? :)). So bad that I have to wear it hopefully it will get into my mind. I guess Issey Miyaké is not an exception, that is why he created this Number 3 with geometric shapes and formulas on it :)))

If you're pleat addict like the woman you saw in this post, I am sure you already know that Issey Miyaké is not the first designer who made pleats. Things happened at the beginning of 20th century, when Spanish-born couturier Mariano Fortuny patented a method of pleating silk that enable him to produce flowing, romantic gowns (in my version: he asked his experienced dressmaker wife to hand pleat the dresses). If you're interested, Google his name. He is the multi-talented son, not to confuse with his father who shared the same name.

Back to what I wear, they're all in polyester and the process of making them includes putting a 3 times bigger than the real size products into a heat press. The result of this genius idea is the clothes that move with your body. On top of everything, I love them because they don't take up much space in your wardrobe, they don't need to be dry cleaned and they love you as long as you love them. They're made to be colorfully timeless.

Tiny tips: vertical and horizontal pleats are much sturdier than zig-zag ones. I share this to prevent you from sitting the whole dinner in your brand new zig-zag Issey Miyaké dress and saying good bye to the dress after that, just like I did. Remember, they're made by heat and its the heat that kill them. So please don't give heat to pleats!

The Delphos Pleated Dress (1909) and The Pleats Please Dress (1993) are 2 of the 50 dresses that changed the way we dress dress dress dress dress.

in the mood for love

Hello happy people!

Do you have a favourtie colour that make you feel good? Mine is red ^_^

I love all colours including mustard, mouse grey and horse shit (I mean a kind of pale hunter green) But only red can bring me the mood for love and happiness. However, I don't have that much red clothes in my wardrobe because I live in Thailand and it is not convenient to sport my favourite colour all year round. So, I decided to put together my most-loved red skirt and this unmissable piece of lingerie for you!  

Love and Peace

Good evening again!

Tonight I break my own record, I post twice in 1 hour ^_^

Just remembered that my dear Sacramento and Victoria want to see our products...So...

These days I am finalizing Fall-Winter 2012 collection and eyeing for materials for Spring-Summer 2013. And, I am not supposed to show you that so I searched for some items that our customers have posted on their online shops.

Please welcome sexy Russian ladies to my page!

There are more here and here and here (where these photos are taken from) and of course in my Bangkok showroom ^_^

Have a sexy night! Tomorrow is Friday ;)

skin care for lazy girls

Good evening lovely people!

If you are reading this and you're not a lazy person, I suppose you're a busy one. That 's acceptable too! So, let's get started!

I'll share here my routines but not products' names because I don't promote free for any company ^_^
There's no secrets:
First, I am a lucky girl, good skin is in my genes.
Second, when I was a teenager, I washed my face 4 times a day with WATER!!!! Yes, no chemical! Bio, eco-friendly and cheap too!!!!
Third, I never go to bed with make-up on.
Fourth, I go out with sunblock.
Fifth, I go to bed with moisturizer.
Sixth, my everyday make-up kit: lipstick, blush.
Last but not least, I sleep from 10pm to 7am almost every night.

Expensive products don't necessarily mean best result. I normally go for more clinical brands than cosmetics ones. I pick fragrance-free or very mild scent so I can still feel my perfume. I hate when people walk into a lift smelling like a chemical plant.

I have been religiously doing the above simple steps for the past 10 years, I'll see if it is a good method in the next 10 years. So keep in touch!

Have a good night and sweet dreams!

see-through

Good morning lovelies!!!

How are you? I had a sleepy weekend but everything was great, so you won't hear me complain, don't worry :) And I am so excited to share this post with you all after a million years of no-post. Victoria from Style Marmalade said that I should show my designs here. Well, I had some photos taken but I don't have enough courage to post on my blog, they'll be forever in my hard drive (you know why). However, I am ready show you a lingerie photo like this:

I bought this gorgeous mesh dress from Huy Vo early this year in Hochiminh city, Vietnam but I didn't have a good occasion to wear it until now. 

Underneath was Lise Charmel bustier with removable garters and a high waist brief (yes, the brief is my design and yes, garter-belt and high waist brief are coming back, you don't need to be a granny to wear them!)

Not so easy to play with layers in such hot weather but it is good to have just a mesh dress underneath and a ruched Pinko dress on top.

also wearing Schutz platform shoes, Prada clutch, bangle and ring from Lorna - the beautiful and humorous photographer, Lafont glasses and no name bling bling earrings.
