Pretty pretty panties: The Lake and Stars (maybe not 100% work safe)

Lake and Stars Genius bodysuit

I have a weak spot for pretty, yet financially out-of-reach unmentionables. Labels like Stella McCartney and Agent Provocateur make me swoon with sartorial lust. Most recently, I have been enchanted by the ethereal pieces created by The Lake and Stars. Even the name is dreamy! I love their dusky pastel color palette, combined with light-as-air mesh, silk, jersey, and unexpected details. The silhouettes are vintage-inspired, yet fresh and modern. It's not your typical lingerie.

I think I will dedicate a separate post to some images from their latest lookbook, but for now I'll do a teaser featuring some pieces that I really, really would not mind having in my arsenal. No, ma'am, I would not mind it at all.

Lake and Stars Franklin tank

Lake and Stars Franklin briefs
This "Franklin" tank and brief set is at the very top of my list! Oh, please please please I want!!! I would just live in these in the summertime.


Lake and Stars Truce romper
This sold-out romper has suspenders and a little pocket. A pocket!!!

Lake and Stars bow bralette
From their ballerina-inspired collection. Ballerinas!! How could you go wrong??



Lake and Stars Antidote set

Most of these pretties are out my reach, money-wise, although occasionally they're on super-sale at Gilt Groupe. I was recently able to snag a set; I can't wait for it to come!

Images snagged from knickersblog, Journelle, Bonadrag, and kenyastyle, in order from top to bottom. I'll happily take the images down upon request.

  4. Twila: Everything about the suspenders romper is just too perfect! I love how sheer and airy these pieces look.

    Greer: They are glorious indeed! And dreamy, and perfect, etc etc...

    Aya: I just found that bra on clearance at fairefroufrou.com in another colorway, but at almost $70 it's still too expensive. It's taking every ounce of energy I have not to buy it with my happy little trigger finger, but I think I'd better not... !!

  16. You really make it seem so easy with your
    presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

  20. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
    for something unique. P.S My apologies
    for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  21. At this time it appears like Wordpress is the best blogging platform available right
    now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

  22. Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.

  24. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.

    I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.
    net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
