TLO + JL slippers!

It is with great pride and jubilation that I present our collaboration with slipper company, Jacques Levine! If you're at Curve expo this weekend pop by the Jacques Levine booth to get a closer look at their latest collection including the two styles we worked on with them!

You can also follow Jacques Levine on tumblr for insightful posts from the man himself musing on vintage shoe advertisements and styles. Check it out, it's truly fascinating to read. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few months back and he was absolutely delightful and had a memory for details like I've never encountered before (my own memory is such garbage I can scarcely remember what I had for breakfast).

Mostly I just want to say: YOU GUYS, SLIPPERS! What is more decadent than a glamourous pair of mules to lounge about while in your underthings? The best thing about these "slippers" is that with their leather soles they're as good for outdoor activity as they are for indoor. I plan on never taking mine off once I get my hands on them (tried stuffing my 7.5 foot into the sample size and while they fit it had an awful Cinderella's stepsister effect that did not do these dainty shoes or my duck feet any favors). Have I ever mentioned here that all the redheads in my family (apparently, I've only just recently met them) have webbed toes? I haven't got them but I thought it was a strange coincidence that the redheads only would have them. Redheads, such a are a strange lot we are.

She Should Have Stayed in Bed

Our newest addition to the TLO lingerie collection, She Should Have Stayed in Bed (bra and shorts) and the movie (trailer) that inspired it! Careful when you click, there are boobs ahead O_O!

My latest 8tracks mix here (on a bit of a vintage disney kick right now)! Still cooking up that high-school post for you. Gonna get it nice and raver-y and humbling, mmm.

For your Love(d One)!

A hearty thanks to all of the ladies involved in this production! You made my editing job equal parts glorious and difficult because there was just so much good stuff to work with! I've been bitten by the motion picture bug and all I want to do now is make little videos (or maybe I just want to make a million bum wiggle loops).

(I meant to make another slumber party mix to accompany this post but have been too busy watching the video on repeat. I promise one later but just in case you missed the first one you can listen here.)

Kennedy & Caroline

Yowza this week has flown by! I'm afraid I'm terribly tardy in posting this (especially since these were supposed to be little teasers to the now released video that I will refrain from posting here just for fun until tomorrow, hehe). 

Kennedy and Caroline joined us from Boston for a day of popping corn, jumping on the bed and dancing around my apartment! It was such an absolute pleasure meeting both of these extremely stunning young ladies. I would welcome them in my apartment anytime (outerwear optional)!

Chelsea

This weekend was a gigantic slumber party! Saturday found my house jam packed with five of the babeliest babes (including enchanting Kennedy Holmes) you'll ever lay eyes on and in their (er rather, my) underpants. Elvia and I are working on releasing our very first video lookbook and as I work on editing all of the dream footage together I thought I would make a couple of posts introducing you to the cast. Pictured above is the most radiant Chelsea Marks wearing the newly named "Hot Thrills and Warm Chills" nighty. For more pictures of beautiful Chelsea and behind the scenes pictures check out our Facebook Page!

Listen to our slumber party playlist here.

undies in the oven

A little sneak peek at what we're working on in the TLO lingerie department! These as of yet unnamed pieces will, fingers crossed, be available later this month! We're also expanding our current collection's size run to include extra small and extra large and have tweaked some of the sizing to fit true to modern day sizing. Trial and error, this!

Landon's computer is in the shop and my computer screen is cracked so that only a third of the already rather small screen is visible which makes internetting beyond email a bit of an eyesore so forgive me if I'm a bit quiet for the next while (though I have been a bit more of a silent blog stalker lately for which I apologize, I realize it is way more fun to participate and am always appreciative of all the comments you leave behind).

Hope all is well! I promise (for real) this is the last lounging in undergarments post for a long while!

& a new 8 tracks mix for you.

The Loved One Pop Up Shop!

Nicole Eymard takes a swing!

The Loved One's first ever pop-up shop! Big thanks to all that helped steam and build and tag and flower the spot. I am so extremely happy with the finished product and wish now that I could spend every day in the fantasy land that we created! I'll have to post a more detailed account of the last three weeks as they were absolute madness but after the 4:00 am wake-up call and 12 hours of travel I have to say that I am completely pooped and ready to catch up on kitten cuddle time O_O!

For pictures of our opening night (complete with lingerie clad model swinging in daisy chain brassieres and loads of "bees knees" induced shenanigans) click here and here!

If you're in Los Angeles visit the space yourself for all of February at Space 15 Twenty!

got to make that 7.21

Watching Sin in the Suburbs (<- recommend viewing with cocktail in one hand and pot of mac'n'cheese in the other as I did earlier tonight only replace cocktail with beer and you've got my friday night) in celebration of the launch of the TLO shop! It's been a long and arduous trek but we made it and we couldn't be more pleased. (Though perhaps not so pleased with our accidentally papery tags, but hey! It wouldn't be right were it to run perfectly smooth the first go round.)

I've got a second bit of exciting shop related news (not the one I referred to earlier, that's still in the works, have enjoyed reading your guesses. not an offspring... yet.) This February we will be setting up shop for a month at Space 15 Twenty in Los Angeles. A whole month of brick and mortar shopping! Opening night is February 4th where there will be cocktails, tarts, underpants, international psych jams, A SWING (complete with a lingerie clad model) and a whole slew of vintage goodies to peruse and take home with you!

Completely unrelated - I'm addicted to this song, it's ruling my brains right now and will not leave me alone but I don't wanna lie, I'm feeling so goo.

Wearing the Fuego set!

the finish line!

I'm just a little ahead of myself posting these now but I couldn't contain my excitement! The lingerie is done (well, err, almost done. The final style is in production) and in the next week we'll have the shop up and ready for pre-sale orders!

That's all for now, back to extreme family hangout times! Hope you all had/are having a terrific holiday! Exclamation points!

sheer delight

The fourth piece from The Loved One's collection named "sheer delight" (ehhehe).

This morning Alex indulged me in some post slumber party activities and donned some samples of The Loved One's upcoming lingerie line!
