It has truly felt like the longest winter of all time.
Last week – for the first time since September – my legs were able to leave the house without tights. This, I call a breakthrough. I adore the seasons & they each have their own charms and allure, but when winter-weather drags into April; i.am.over.it.
As someone that loves to spend time digging through the ‘new in’ pages on various sites, I admittedly hadn’t been feeling too inspired by the latest drops & collections. With events, shoots and a trip to Las Vegas coming up [anyone going to SNW?!] I was seeking a couple of inspiring new pieces to add into my wardrobe. The first ‘add to cart’ recently was this puff-ball, not-for-everyone PVC bustier top. I love pieces I can immediately imagine styling in different ways, and this got me feeling excited to style.

Shape, structure & texture are aspects I can easily [and often] obsess over.
The sharpness of the point on the peach collar, layered over the contrasting bustier PVC neckline, deeply pleases my soul.
EYE SPY: a new harness. We sampled this particular style last year – but it didn’t end up going into production over thoughts it may be too similar to HWH. After months of my lusting after it and then re-sampling it in black patent, I can confirm she will be made & I am THRILLED: launching this summer.
