Violet & Wren silk loungewear on Lingerie Briefs

Today’s post showcasing Violet & Wren turned into a personal wish list, and as you scroll through these images you will be jotting down your favorites too.  This comes at a time where I’m particularly drawn toward patterns, as I’m currently researching wallpapers for a small home project I’m working on and looking for prints that have longevity.  When it comes to patterns, especially with something you’re … Read More

Simone Perele illustrated by Tina Wilson on Lingerie Briefs from Curvexpo

A trio of floating butterflies on each strap…
A statement of profanity worn with pride…
Bits of tulle and lace, raw and exposed and dripping from the frame of the bras…
Multicolored paillettes dangling from a bomber jacket…
Long mesh skirts with laser cut applique flowers….

Problem: they live in Brooklyn, use only public transportation and worry, as most childless couples do, about leaving their dog alone.
