Retro Looks In The Modern World: Pin-Up Story

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time. Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

Tongue and cheek! I love this spread from Grazia France- February 2013. Oversized props, cheesecake poses and retro lingerie and accessories add up to a fun and refreshing editorial!

On My Wish List: Gossard's Retrolution

Gossard has recently come out with a retro inspired collection, called Retrolution. It has been on my watch list for a while.  It has a fine mixture of retro styling and modern sculpting fabrics to help you out in all the right places. A few pieces are on my wish list: 

The Retrolution Slip will give you curve and smooth lines under your sexiest vintage dresses and pencil skirts.  I need this! It also comes in nude- which is a must have and a great bridal piece.

However, the two piece set is what I'm really lusting over. I'm not going to lie, I already purchased this Staylo Plunge bra so it is no longer on my list. I bought it at work (no horrible day job, here!)  and am now waiting for the Waist Cincher to arrive. The bra is very padded, which for me takes some getting used to. What I love, is the deep V plunge and longer line. I am dying for that high waist cincher panty though!! That is still on my wish list, but hopefully not for long. 

What do you think? Do you have any of the Retrolution pieces? Do you want them? Would you wear it?

On My Wish List: What Katie Did Bullet Bra

This lovely Bullet Bra from What Katie Did won't stay on my wish list for long. In a two weeks I will be on vacation in sunny LA. Once there I am making a bee line to the What Katie Did boutique to get myself this bra. I've been wanting one for a while and now that this UK brand is stateside it makes it easier to try on. I love this look and it's time to take the plunge. Do you have one? Do you wear it on a daily basis or only with vintage? What do you think?

You don't think she got this look naturally do you?
