Candy corn, the NYC Village Halloween Parade, crazy carved pumpkins, haunted NYC brownstone scenes, spooky dogs and kids, these are some of my favorite Halloween things.
My go to Halloween costume for many years was a witch ensemble. Halloween gave me the freedom to dress provocatively and to be exposed, something I have never been comfortable with in day to day to life. Dressing in a bustier or corset as a witch … Read More
Sensual, daring, and exquisitely crafted, the Follement Sexy Collection captures the essence of the Lise Charmel brand. Designed to accentuate natural curves, this 18-piece collection is a powerful statement of feminine beauty.

Frankly, I am beastly to fit; it is rare that a delicate looking bra could support me through one of my 12 hour work days. This style is so precious; it reminds me of an ethereal spider web.
