In the Market: 60s Boudoir

There have been times over the last couple of years when I've thought that I would have an aneurysm if I had to look at one more badass bullet/spike studded article of clothing. As much as I love my Rick Owens leather, sometimes a girl just wants to be a girl. I love slipping into something lacy and lingerie-like, smoothing on a slick of red lipstick, and stepping out in a proper ladylike heel. Add some cat-eye glasses and a frilly underwire bikini to the equation, and you've got yourself an old-school (skool?) look straight out of a 1960s boudoir.
