Darker My Love: Hopeless Lingerie launches on Craft and Culture

Don't you love it when two things that you are independently obsessed with come together to make something even more amazing?!  This is one of those times.

I have been obsessed with Australian lingerie brand Hopeless via Etsy for a while now.  It's a little bit racy, a little bit S & M, and a whole lot of awesome.  I love her use of fabrics, interesting strap placements and cutouts.  I actually just placed an order with her a few weeks ago!  I have been anxiously checking my mailbox for it's arrival ever since!  Each piece is hand made to order, so I completely understand the wait period.  And its coming from Australia to boot!

Craft an Culture is an amazingly well curated online store based in Seattle, which just happens to be where I reside as well!  They feature fantastic hand made goods and independent designers on their site.  I pretty much want everything on there.

These two masterminds joining forces is pretty much BLOWING MY MIND.  Check out the some of these lookbook photos that Craft and Culture took:

TIE DYE DIY!

A couple weeks ago, I got together with two lovely ladies, Voss and Terris, for a little DIY sesh. We conjured up a few afternoon bevvies (AKA mimosas), turned on The Craft, and got to work!

These girlies are two-thirds of Neon Nightmare Vintage, a super-rad online vintage store that just launched. They are just getting the site up and running, but between you and me, it's gonna be pretty freakin' awesome.  All three girls have very different, distinct, and amazing styles which is going to make for a huge array of goodies on the site! I got to preview some of their treasures, and OH GIRL it's goooood!

With these ladies constantly hunting for wares for their online store, and with me just being a general clothes hoarder, we had a slew of vintage slips lying around.  Great minds think alike because we all have been wanting to tie dye said slips. 

The boxes of RIT dye said to only use on cotton and natural fibers...these slips were definitely NOT cotton. Polyester? Rayon? Some sort of blend? The info on the fabric content tags were worn away so who knows! We took a chance and went for it, wondering whether or not these mystery fabric slips would even take the dye. 

And, oh hell yes, they did!

AH-MAZE-ING.

We went in for round two and did more slips, but I don't have pictures of those.

This makes me want to tie dye pretty much everything I own. Everything. All of it. I also want to try some dip dye action once I get more confident with dying techniques. 

Thanks to the ladies of Neon Nightmare Vintage for hanging out! And check out their blog posts on our DIY day here and here! There are a bunch more photos of our day on their posts, I got really into my crafting, was a bad blogger and forgot to take photos. Whoops!
