Dreamchaser Lace Duster

I just bought myself the perfect black lace duster! It's from Hellaholics - a Scandinavian brand and online store, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. They find their inspiration in vintage treasures, starry nights, music, and generally fabulous chicks from all walks of life. They aim to create a collection of garments and jewelry that embodies fearlessness and fun, things that gives you that instant attitude, yet are easy to wear. And here is my new duster!

It's made of sheer black lace with embroidered details, and has cap sleeves. Although I'm just wearing lingerie underneath it here to show it off better, this is one of those pieces of clothing you can wear in so many ways! Throw it over any outfit to make it a bit more interesting. Use a belt and wear it as a dress. Or just over your lingerie while at home...or going grocery shopping. Haha!

It comes in sizes small, medium and large, and although I'm usually an extra small, the small one fitted me perfectly! It's called the Dreamchaser Lace Duster, and you find it here!

I have to admit I don't own anything from Dottie's Delights myself though (yet)... So I can't really tell you anything about the comfort and quality of the pieces. Lets just hope they feel as good as they look! Here are a few things they have to offer! To see more, visit Dottie's Delight's website here!

La Lilouche

In 2009, after designing successful collections for the UK high street market for a few years, designer Liya Amar decided to start her own lingerie brand - La Lilouche - inspired by flirtatious boudoirs, seduction, refined elegance and high fashion. The pieces are all made of fine materials, such as 100% silk, power nets, satin and Chantilly lace, and decorated with ribbons, Swarovski crystals and bows. All collections are limited editions though, so you have to get them while they last! Here are some favorite picks of mine...

Sienna silver peony silk chiffon kaftan.

Sophia black silk kimono.

Veronika black faux leather Grecian tulle bra.

Cher retro rouge red silk suspender high waist panties, and Cher rouge red silk satin quarter cup padded bra.

Rosie black tulle net boudoir ruffled cape.

Maxine black silk satin and fishnet corset suspender high brief.

Goldie silk chiffon Grecian long gown.

You find La Lilouche's shop on Etsy here!

Valentine's Lingerie

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and whether your in a happy relationship with someone else, or single and in a happy relationship with yourselves, this day is a good excuse to splurge a bit and get some new lingerie! My favorite retro lingerie brand is What Katie Did, because they create good looking, durable things for daily wear. When I saw their new collection it made me think of Valentine's for some reason, so here it is! The range is all made in England, it's called Liz, and it comes in the colors Amethyst, Ruby, and Black. I'll take a set in each color please...

Radioactive Camera...

Last May I did a shoot with photographer Jan Persson. He always use several different cameras during our photo sessions, and I've already shown you the Polaroids from this shoot. If you want to see those, go here! But that day Jan also used a Graflex camera from the 50s, with a Kodak Aero Ektar lens. These lenses are slightly radioactive (but not harmfully so), and were used during WWII in reconnaissance missions. They were originally made for military purposes by Kodak, who sold them to the US ministry of defense for around 800 USD a piece - which was also what a Chevrolet would have cost in those days...

I love getting the opportunity to stand in front of cool old cameras like this one! You have to stand very still during the process of just taking one picture though! Otherwise it gets blurry. Here are the photos Jan took of me with that radioactive old thing. Haha!

PS. A fallen tree makes a great ballet barre!

Accessories: Leather Gloves, A Riding Crop.... And A Cat

A while ago I did a shoot with photographer Jonas Mattsson. The location was his apartment, and since he has a cat - Nina - I ended up with her as a co-model. She was very curious about what we were doing and found my riding crop to be a fun toy. As she was running in front of the camera all the time, we let her be part of a few of the photos.

The only light we used was the sun shining in through the window, and the lingerie I'm wearing in most of the photos are from Dita Von Teese's lingerie collection Von Follies. And here is the result!

Nina playing with my crop...

This pic was taken through the glass of an open window.

I love this last photo! While Jonas was changing the film in his camera I was cuddling with Nina. Just when she gave me a good head boop he snapped this pic. I wasn't ready for it at all! Haha!
