Valentine Vamp by Domino Dollhouse

My love of lingerie has carried over from my previous job and I was super happy to introduce lingerie and corsetry at Domino Dollhouse this Valentine's season! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to produce my own designs just yet, so I sourced from some of the finest plus size manufacturers, threw in some gorgeous hatties and thus, I present: the Valentine Vamp collection! Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot. The photography is by Michele Muerte, the hair/make up is by Natasha Marcelina, and the models are Tess Munster and Rayna Salcido. All clothing and accessories were provided by Domino Dollhouse!

OOTD: Valentine's Day

Since Valentine's Day landed on a weekday, my husband and I had little more than time to go to dinner. So dinner we had, at a fabulous crepe restaurant that just opened up near our house. I laughed when we snapped these photos because it's been a while since I took pictures without either my pewter docs or Beth Ditto jacket. I hope you guys recognize me still!

Purikura for Valentine's Day

I'm back from Vegas and yesterday Joe and I hung out to celebrate our first Valentine's Day as a married couple. We went to lunch and the japanese photo boots, or Purikura (japanese for "Picture Club"). I was hoping to get better views of my full outfit for an OOTD, but those images ended up being too little (chalk it up to timed image choices and bad Japanese to English translations). Regardless, I'll include the details in case anyone is curious AND has a magnifying glass.

Necklace - Nordstrom
Skirt - American Apparel

Guide to Lingerie

I <3 lingerie! I've said it before and I'll say it again. While my lust for meshy, lacey, frilly, high end lingerie is still unsatisfied by the current state of the industry, there are VAST improvements in the selection. And don't hesitate to grab up the lingerie even if you don't have a honey: cute undies make any outfit that more special.

I went through each of my favorite go to places for Plus Size Lingerie and chose my picks for their best offerings this Valentine's Season. Click the image to get pricing, sizing, and purchase details.
