B-Tique, Lifestyle & Fashion

I’m a big fan of Kelly’s TLP Coverage of Secrets In Lace. She posted a Stocking Update today and it’s GREAT NEWS for vintage lingerie fans! :)

These designs date back to the early to middle sixties when Marc Bohan was heading Christian Dior.
I’m adoring these.
I thank “experiments in the lab” for their post!

Not the first time we’ve had Angels Carrying Savage Weapons lingerie on the blog and now that their new collection made it onto The Lingerie Post it’s time they got another mention, right?
100% retro and vintage, 100% luxurious and a model with her hair on fire and I like it! :D Obviously these are [...]

I like the whole reviving of old trends thing, and I like the fact that some labels don’t seem to be too involved with the marketing side of the deal, or the “let’s make something a lot of people will buy”-kind of thing — but just focus on making pretty, lovely and nice pieces that [...]

I love the way the pieces are reminiscent of the 1950’s. They [...]

Veronica Etro has certainly done her part to bring the 70’s Retro look back into fashion. Models in Milan on September 25th wore her designs beautifully. The look was retro fashion, as the colors and styles are reminiscent of the days of hippies and rock and roll. Tye-dyed dresses and smocks and long flowing gowns [...]

Try matching cap-toe heels with a smart suit (a la 1940’s), slim pencil skirt or long wool slacks. Sling backs will give you a more contemporary look, while the classic pump or a Mary Jane style will compliment that retro [...]

I don’t know if it is the fact that we just celebrated the Fourth of July and I have Old Glory on my mind, but lately I have been drawn to stripes. It is a good thing Old Navy has an entire section of clothes on its website, labeled “stripes”. Who would have thought [...]
