Dark Garden Corsets

Dark Garden is the corsetier of choice for burlesque queen Dita Von Teese, as mentioned in her twitter~ Im an avid corset wearer as well, so checked it out, and voila~ not only do they make corsets, they also do corset dresses in various lengths. yes, it means u arent able to sit down when ur in them, but that doesnt really matter does it? as long as u look really alluring~

from ready to wear, to made to order and also custom made corsets, they offer a wide range of unique beauties for u to take home. just check out the pink with black lace overlay corset dress with a cut out detail at the back~ oh and of course the dita inspired black lace corset below!




Back again~

Blogging is really too time consuming. So many inspiring things everyday. I just cant be bothered to blog about them. But i guess commitment is a great attirbute i might as well learn to have, so here i am, back again~

This time around, I would like to blog about fabulous shoe maker Natacha Marro. I have this queasy feeling when seeing people say that Daphne Guinness wears her heelless Antonio Berardi shoes almost on a daily basis. Antonio Berardi is an awesome fashion designer, dont get me wrong. Its just that people need to get their facts right. Daphne Guinness buys her shoes from the out of this world Natacha Marro, who makes shoes for show girls, fashion shows and magazine spreads. According to Guinness, she did a whole load of research to come to a conclusion that exotic dancers wear the structurally most sturdy shoes, because they are on their feet the whole day.

So I looked her up a few months ago, and found these uber glamorous and amazing heels. The heeless red glitter mary janes are divine (i suppose it also reminds me of dorothy in the wizard of oz), so are her red glitter ballet boots~ however my personal favourite is her white thigh high boots adorned with painstakingly well placed feathers. Its not just a shoe. its like..... a sculpture on the feet. In my mind, if it was made in Marro's special white glitter fabric and made with rene caovilla inspried glitter soles, or louboutin-ish ruby crystal strass soles... it sd suit Aphrodite just fine~
