Under the layers
by theeducatedderelicts
Is anyone else an avid Gossip Girl watcher? It never fails to spark some fashion-envy in me, and one of my favorite things is Blairs collection of beautiful slip, lingerie and robes. When the rain returns, I hope to be swanning around home in something small and sheer and black and beautiful – fortunately plenty such things have been catching my eye lately.
When it comes to undergarments I think the key is to opt for the subtly stylish rather than overtly sexy; ladylike rather than lewd. A beautiful lightweight robe, pajama shirt or soft knit will complete the look.
Local label Lonely Hearts are the NZ pioneers of lovely fashionable under-pieces. My favourites:
Australian label Hatsumi’s Laundry (discovered courtesy of KatherineIsAwesome) have also fast become favourites of mine.
And for an opulent pop of color, Ingrid Starnes has made some lovely pieces, some of which may be left if you get in quickly.
I absolutely adore Gossip Girl and it certainly stirs my fashion envy! Love NZ labels and Lonely Hearts lingerie is gorgeous. x
I’m glad to hear it’s not just me!
I have a weir obsession with underwear. That’s probably what I buy the most, love it. Even if only for me eyes I like really lovely styles, like the ones above.
I don’t think it’s weird Ana! I like the idea of wearing something lovely that no one else knows about.
I love this line… Very sexy!
Great picks for underwear!
Thank you Pati Mo
These look nice. I’m on board with subtly stylish and ladylike.
PS. Have you already finished the book Dancing on my Grave? I haven’t started reading my copy but I’m about to get there.
I have – it was very interesting, though a little depressing in parts. I really enjoyed hearing her thoughts on the nature of dance and expression
I would love to have a huge collection of amazing undergarments. I think it totally transform an outfit even if no one else can see it. That dotted one is my favorite.
Stay in the Lines
I agree Jaclyn – and I love the dotted pieces too!
