Lovely Unmentionables

I have been searching forever for a satin or silk teddy. Now a teddy is a sort of camisole with legs, which combines the need for a silky chemise to make a smooth base under clothes and knickers in one. It's advantages is a smooth siloutte which stays put. A little tip: The suspender belt goes on underneath but the legs of the teddy, which is in the style of French Knickers that won't catch on them.

If you are getting a teddy to wear under clothes, and not just for sleeping in, get one that doesn't have too much fabric in the dropped waist. That will defeat the purpose of a smooth siloutte under your clothes. There can either be a little elastic or a little string you tie in the waist.

I am not sure when teddies got invented but they were very popular during the 40s but lack of silk and ration on clothes put a damper on the prettiness of unmentionables!

Oh and of course, it doesn't hurt they look awfully pretty!

Until today I haven't found teddies I like without them costing an arm and a leg. I stumbled across them on the New Look site! 

 

This mint green beauty is a mere £7!

This cute floral teddy is just £6.

The mint green one has slightly more fabric in the waist, but still not too much. The floral one is perfect since it is straight, without excess fabric at all.

Now, hurry up Mr. Postman, I want my teddy!

All things pink!

All things pink are always a favourite of mine! Today I wore a pink dress by Bettie Page Clothing with a white box jacket over. I liked the jacket being a little less for fitting than the very curvy dress.
Tan patent leather Louboutin kitten heels and a rose colored Chanel bag completed the outfit.

I recently purchased these lovely 'Ballerina' ruffled knickers from What Katie Did! So feminine, fun and flirty!

Now a girl's life couldn't be complete with flowers, chocolate and chatting on the phone!

Accessories are also very important. My two favourite ones at the moment are the headband and my Chanel bag.

Life wouldn't be complete without music, so of course I have a pink iPod with matching headphones.
