An Ode to Pastels

When this is posted, I'll be half-way through my week's holiday, visiting my parents in glamorous Cornwall.

Ok, so it's not the natural habitat of tanned billionaires, but it's a damn good Great British Seaside and I just find it dreamy.

So, here's my Ode to Pastels, the perfect coloured lingerie to wear under sundresses or countryside chic!

Baroque Opulence: Inspiration Behind AW13

I know, I know, it's only JUST getting sunny, and we are already looking ahead to Autumn!

But we have an excuse, trust me. Our AW13 collection is pretty sumptuous! Inspired by Russian opulence, this collection is full of strong, deep colours and elaborate prints (and even a bit of gold chain!).

I could even see the below set (Anastasia) working for Summer-time too!



View the full set of images of the AW13 collection on our facebook.

To get you in the mood for this opulent collection, here's a little bit of inspiration! These are the kind of images we looked at when designing the collection. 

 

Russian Doll, the Playful Promises AW13 collection is arriving in July and September.

It's that time of year when our swimwear and lingerie samples are being prepared, ready to shoot next year's lookbook!

We've already shot our AW13 collection (part of which will be arriving in late July), and now it's on to the colourful fun of Swim/Lingerie SS14. 

 

The above 4 images give you a sneaky look at some of our swimwear for next year - which print is your favourite?

And here's a little teaser of our SS14 lingerie collection!

The Burning Beat: Win a pair of cocktails

Over the next 3 weeks, we've teamed up with the debauched Saturday night cabaret event, The Burning Beat! 

Calling All Denizens of the Demi-Monde! 

THE BURNING BEAT is a new Saturday night cocktail of cabaret curiosities and bold, brassy bands, swaying to the rapturous rhythm of wild-eyed, tavern stomping gypsy carnival rock n' roll. 

A broken ballet of debauchery, performed every week across three floors of decadent decor, and set to an eclectic soundtrack of Electro-Swing, Balkan Beats & Vintage Jukebox Gems. 

All of which is brought to you by the night's hosts - distinguished DJ duo The Roustabouts, and David Harris of the infamous Boom Boom Club. 

From bygone eras to the furthest flung corners of the globe, THE BURNING BEAT goes on....

Over the next 3 weeks, we will be giving away 5 pairs of experimental cocktails, which can be redeemed at any Burning Beat event throughout April or May!
