Vivien of Holloway: Grace Victory Rose Purple

Hello lovelies,
I love how beautiful the world becomes once spring is in full swing! 
Spring is so inspiring, so welcoming, so delightful... It never ceases to amaze me how almost imperceptibly the pink shades of cherry and apple blossoms are being replaced by the pretty purple-violet color of the lilac trees. It's like nature reminds us that there is always beauty and "good" if we choose to see it... Lilacs give softness to the world and to life. I love it, not only for its enchanting fragrance, but mostly because of its delicacy and humbleness...

The story, according to Greek mythology, begins with a stunning nymph named Syringa (lilac's botanical name) who caught the eye of Pan, the god of fields and forests. Captivated by her beauty, Pan chased Syringa through the forest until she became exhausted. To escape Pan, the nymph turned herself into a fragrant flowering bush - the flower we today refer to as lilac... (Sylvia)


These photos were taken the day after 
 I walked in my lovely neighborhood, where I saw many lilac trees in full bloom - I was so so inspired! I thought I must have photos in front of lilacs.

I'm wearing the most beautiful Victory Rose Purple Grace Wrap Circle Dress by Vivien of Holloway:
and the Purple petticoat:

Victory Rose floral prints are available in Peach, Cerise, Purple and Royal.


This fabric is very special to Vivien of Holloway as it is their first exclusive print, designed by Vivien specifically for their beautiful skirts and dresses. An eye catching and graceful print, each colour is perfectly complimented with VoH latest selection of petticoats. Team the delectable Victory Rose Purple with a wonderfully frothy purple petticoat for a match made in heaven!

   •    1950s Style Dress
    •    Wrap top
    •    Circle skirt
    •    Cotton Sateen
    •    Skirt length 28inches
    •    Made in London England

No outfit is complete without a flower in your hair - I've chosen the Purple White Hair Clip to match this outfit:

I loooove VIVIEN OF HOLLOWAY!!!

"Kissing always makes you beautiful. If you don't believe me, ask the frog who became a prince!"


About Vivien of Holloway:

A life-long Fifties lifestyle and fashion enthusiast, Vivien began sewing vintage-style clothes for herself at a mere ten years old. At eighteen, she opened her first shop in the world famous but now sadly gone Kensington Market, selling her hand-made 50s reproductions to fellow followers of 50's fashions. Many satisfied customers later, we can fast forward... oh, a couple of years to 2000, when the Vivien of Holloway brand was born, and Vivien's signature Fifties style soon took the world by storm.
Our focus has always been on producing beautiful dresses and separates with all the look and the charm of authentic vintage, but in a range of sizes to fit and flatter modern figures and ease of care to suit modern lifestyles.
With period perfect fabrics and cuts only slightly adapted from genuine vintage styles, in Vivien of Holloway you can be transformed into a cheesecake pin-up, a femme fatale, a saucy Mad Men-era office girl, or a WWII working girl – the choice is yours! All our clothes are proudly made in the UK and are loved by well-dressed women (and men!) across the globe; from rockabilly gals and swing dancers, to re-enactors and even celebrities! As well as producing gorgeous vintage-style clothing, we also pride ourselves on good old-fashioned customer service. For us, it's not just about looking the part, it's about the whole lifestyle. We're just trying to make the world a more fabulous and glamorous place, day by day.

Love,

Secrets in Lace in my Boudoir

Hello lovely readers,

 as you all already know I'm a vintage lingerie/stockings/corsets/petticoat lover (freak)!
Here are some photos from my little boudoir wearing Secrets in Lace lingerie, petticoat and of course stockings.
 Nowadays, there are a limited number of web stores which deals in offering these vintage stockings, lingerie, underwear....



I'm wearing the amazing Eva Outline Heel stockings.

"The Eva Outline Heel Stocking is one of our newest, and most loved! This sheer stocking with vintage detail will glam up any of your favorite outfits. Celebrating our 30th Year in Business as the leading designer of newly manufactured vintage nylon stockings we bring you the Eva Sheer Outline Heel Fully Fashioned Stocking. We combined the unique welt design from our Bridgette stocking (launched 10 years ago) with a Sheer Outline Heel to create a true masterpiece! This European Heel Outline follows the shorter wider shape of our Gennia 10 Denier Fully Fashioned Stocking."

These stockings are so beautiful - really a must have and well worth the price.


"Our Soft Chiffon Petticoat has more than 40 yards of fullness and 120 yards of three-inch ruffling trims the bottom tiers."

Bettie Page Bullet Bra 
"Bettie Classic Collection Our satin is shiny and just the right weight to create a perfect line. The Bettie Page Bullet Bra has all the nostalgic details you expect with a circle stitch soft cup to create a sexy projection, perfect under sweaters and our exclusive sheer Anna Blouse. Check out our Sheer Bullet Bra for more Nostalgic Glamour. Exclusively by Secrets In Lace for Bettie Page."

My absolute favorite are the Shiny Seamed Full Fashion stockings:


"We dressed up our classic French Heel Stocking just in time for the Holidays! The backseam is sewn with metallic thread for a festive look. You'll turn heads when you wear these stockings."


In the 20s, women scandalized their elders by wearing sheer silk stockings that drew attention to their legs. They had people wondering, "OMG, are her legs bare?" Scandalous, indeed. In 1939, nylon was introduced at the World's Fair, making stockings cheaper and more delicate. In the late 30s and into the 40s, fully-fashioned stockings had the seams because they had to be closed in the back. In the late 40s and into the 50s, manufacturers were able to make them on round needles and make the parts that received the most stress stronger. That was the birth of the reinforced heel and toe (RHT) stocking. A lot of stockings you find today have a seam but aren't full fashioned, meaning the seam is just for decoration, not for actually putting the stocking together.


The seams are functional, and the heels feature an attractive reinforcement, such as a "point" or "cuban" style.  Fully-Fashioned stockings are the top-of-the-line in vintage legwear.


Secrets In Lace is the worlds premier supplier of authentic 100% nylon stockings, elegant vintage lingerie, garter belts, girdles andbullet bras. Our products are worn by the worlds most famous and influential people. Only they know what lays beneath their classically elegant attire......their "Secrets In Lace". We invite you to share in this incredible feeling and expression of femininity
Remember... Keep The Romance Alive!!!

With love,

Idda van Munster

1st stockings: Dita's Diamond Backseam

This is Dita's personal favorite for the Red Carpet! And it is no wonder with all the unique detail in this Diamond Backseam French Heel Full Fashioned Stocking. It is a masterpiece in every sense of the word; it takes hours to produce the intricate detail of this exclusive stocking. The Black welt has a fine Ivory Picot around the top, the black foot and diamond backseam contrast with Beige or Grey leg made of 15 denier ultra sheer nylon - Add our super soft finish and Dita's world famous logo and you have a fully fashioned stocking like no other.
Fabric Content: 100% Nylon; 15 Denier

I've been wearing these stockings all day and they haven't fallen down, laddered or disappointed me in anyway. Fully fashioned nylons are so sensual.




2nd stockings: Vintage Dot RHT


Secrets In Lace is the only company in the world who makes this dot pattern in 100% vintage nylon. We believe that the classics never go out of style! These stockings are smooth and light, making your legs look smooth and shapely. They've made these out of 100% 15 denier non stretch nylon and given them our famous Reinforced Heel and Toe treatment - also added our Secrets In Lace imprint on the welt for an extra touch of vintage detail. These stockings come in a wide array of colors and sizes, so there is literally a pair for everyone! Try classic black to spice up an every day work outfit, grey for an extra touch of sophistication, or white to go under your favorite summer dress. NEW COLORS: Black Leg - Grey Welt - Grey Dots (Select Black-Grey), Beige Leg - Black Welt - Black Dots (Select Beige),Grey Leg-Black Welt-Black Dots (Select Grey-Black)
Fabric Content: 100% nylon; 15 Denier



 I wear vintage, fully fashioned, seamed stockings every single day. I usually wear an open bottom girdle to hold them up but if I'm dressing more casual, I'll wear a garter belt instead. For me, though, "casual" means a summer dress or skirt and blouse.

When you want to look sexy - or feel sexy - I think stockings add just that right touch...

3rd stockings: Dita Glamour French Heel

This stocking is Dita's personal favorite and she wears this style at every opportunity. The Dita Glamour, with its contrasting colors, makes this Full Fashion stocking truly .. Glamorous! The Welt and foot are black with either a grey leg or beige leg. The French Heel treatment and Dita imprint on the welt add to the authentic nostalgic details.
Fabric Content: 100% Nylon
Made In: Imported
Colors: Beige, Grey





4th stockings: Vintage Diamond RHT


Once again SIL created a true classic. Made of 100% 15 denier non-stretch nylon, these Reinforced Heel and Toe stockings have a subtle diamond pattern. The Secrets In Lace imprint on the welt adds to the authentic nostalgic details.
Fabric Content: 100% Nylon 15 Denier


I love the glamour of wearing stockings and suspenders; as soon and I put a pair on I’m transported to a bygone era where style and romance reign supreme.
If you are a lover of fully fashioned nylon stockings then you'll want to add some of these Secrets in Lace stockings to your collection. Shop at: http://www.secretsinlace.eu

Do you wear fully fashioned or RHT stockings every day? Do you feel comfortable by wearing them?

I personally enjoy how much more feminine they make me feel.

Love,
Idda van Munster

My collaboration with Bésame Cosmetics Europe

Dear readers,


It's official - I am cooperating now with Bésame Cosmetics Europe. I have been dying to try Bésame Cosmetics ever since I first heard about them. I fell in love with the elegantly vintage styled packaging and the vintage inspired lipstick colors and the idea of brightening violet powder.


I´ll do workshops in whole Europe to train you the usage of Bésame Cosmetics based on the beautiness of stars that you all love.

For bookings please direct contact me on my email:   aidadjapo@hotmail.com or at 

 Bésame Cosmetics Europe facebook page.

I had my 1st test workshop in my hometown Sarajevo yesterday. It was a fantastic day - learning all about this brand and sharing vintage makeup tips and tricks. Bésame Cosmetics are a vintage inspired brand that use natural ingredients to provide high quality makeup. Created in the US, not tested on animals, made from natural ingredients and organic oils, pigment rich and based on vintage packaging, colours and formulations. The first thing that drew me to the products were the packaging... but... these cosmetics look as good on as they do in their packaging! Very reminiscent of 1920's-1930's makeup packaging. Gold plated (real gold!) with delicate flower etching. It’s a bit of everyday luxury, and very affordable compared to “big” brands like Chanel or Dior. 


This is really the most gorgeous range of makeup a vintage loving gal could wish for! I'm in love with the lipsticks. All of the colors are just beautiful. Highly pigmented, long lasting, non drying. The texture is creamy and goes on like silk. I can't believe how long the color lasts. Red lipstick is a tricky one. Your skin tone, condition of your teeth, and of course hair colour will all play a part in determining what colour red looks best on you - if you are interested I can do a special post about all the shades (with photos and details)... let me know.
I absolutely love the compact poweders, brightening violet powder, crimson rouge etc. etc. 


Here are some photos from the workshop - telling a little story:


I'm wearing my new favorite shoes by Irregular Choice CHEEKY MOOSE. Find "Metaphysika" on facebook and shop there! The new collection autumn/winter 2013/2014 is amazing!


and the final photo (a part of us):

 I'd like to say a giant thank you to Mija Burazerović for taking these wonderful photos. Thanks to the best place on planet Earth - caffee Zlatna Ribica!

Thank you girls for being a part of my little vintage party!

...and in the end: BIG BIG thanks to Besame Cosmetics Europe.

Love you all,

Idda
