In my collection fabrics, I picked up 8 yards of this gorgeous Raspberry colored embroidered lace without knowing exactly what I was going to do with it. I toyed with the idea of making several high-waisted knicker sets with matching bras, a typical babydoll style, etc but these ideas never seemed quite right for this lace. It wasn't until I came across this amazing vintage 1940's Dressing Gown Pattern that I just knew I had to use the entire 8 yards to make this. It came out gorgeous - wide 40's sleeve, pointed lapel collars, waist tie to cinch in at the tiny spot, floor length sheer, naughty lacy goodness. You won't get to see what it looks like on until I shoot the collection in its entirety but my oh my, it is a lovely piece! xx.L</div>

Where in the heck have I been? In an insane, I repeat, absolutely insane sewing cave for custom orders. The first weeks of February were spent trying to balance working on pieces for my new collection, Client custom orders & of course my Vegas wardrobe. This all took an insane turn toward Client orders only as there was just too many (happily) to keep up with! I've got everybody ready for Vegas, everybody ready for their trip to London, Tucson, Los Angeles, Stage performances, etc and phew! I am exhausted! And I've missed you all!<br />
<br />
I have so many lovely things to share with you. Its mighty crazy where this year has taken me already and I am so ready. Sewing needle & scissors in hand, tight wiggle skirt, tight sweater - I'm READY! xx.LLola Devlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363551379441945343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518619875205003520.post-66895594266606675332013-01-21T20:51:00.002-08:002013-01-21T20:51:58.969-08:00OR DO YOU?<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X0m_1JwDhBQ" width="420"></iframe><br />

I have been up to no good. I have been in the clouds dreaming up some pretty amazing things if I do say so myself. I have had these fabrics for a while and think about what to make out of them often. Many times I'll do sketches, jot notes down but I never really know exactly what I am going to make until I pull the fabric out and start draping it, or in some situations, I often dream of what it will be in my sleep. More times than most, its not until I am playing around with the fabric that I let the fabric guide me into what it wants to be. Such is the glory of making one of a kind pieces. For quite some time now, I have been falling in love all over again with a few inspiration sources (of course I'll fill you in later), and this babydoll slip is no exception. There was enough light pink champagne Maribou trim (I suppose we could call it Rose) left in the store to create this absolutely amazing hemline & strap detail, I am just giddy to reveal the entire look. The sheerest of sheer nude tulle, unbelievably naughty & yet so absolutely feminine with this color combination...take a sneak peek for yourself! xx.L</div>

This year for many I have heard & including myself, has been truly remarkable. I think we have all had some amazing opportunities cross our path along with the usual not-so-fun occurrences or hurdles to jump but I think & am blessed to say that it has been a damn good year. For myself, my goals were entirely business related this year & for my small company, I seemed to get a lot accomplished! I launched a collection & did everything I ever wanted to create for that collection (which I never thought would happen), started a new collection, sold many orders one naughty bit at a time, worked very hard at my day job & was part of a beautiful clan of women that pushed our store to the top in the company, fell in love again & again with my favorite boy, had wonderful moments with my family and finally, had a dream come true which I hope to tell you all about soon enough. I will say this however, it is the oddest thing really to have a dream come true before your very eyes but it did not happen without seriously hard work & dedication to my craft along with all of the fabulous hands that were there when I needed them along the way. I always talk about the things in life that make me giggle, which as you know are many, however this time I am proud to say was probably the best giggle of all.<br />
<br />
I want to thank you all for reading my little blog both the newbies & the vintage, I am very excited to see what this next year offers & I can say in absolute certainty, hopefully without jinxing myself (I'll just tap the wood of my desk in case), that big things are soon to happen. Big things in my small little way. Lola always gets what she wants! Happy Holidays Gorgeous Friends.

Absolutely, absolutely in love with absolutely everything about this Alice Hawkins video "Hello Rory". You all know I just LOVE pink technicolor, beautiful lingerie (and luckily all of the lingerie in this video is Agent Provocateur), and the scenes, the music, the story...gasp! It all gave me a giggle, I wish there was more!

<span style="font-size: x-small;">What I do believe is that in every woman, she has a bit that is part lady, part vamp. This doesn't necessarily mean that you will ever get to see this side of her or perhaps you see plenty. But I really believe that somewhere, someone has this in her. Also, the vamp works in mysterious ways sometimes - perhaps we won't all use our charms like Ms. Lili in this photo but we all work in our own ways, perhaps strong at times, perhaps cheeky at times, perhaps many things more but I do hope that when something or someone comes along your path, you will remember that you've got a little bit of minx in you, while still being one hundred percent lady. xx.L</span>Lola Devlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363551379441945343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518619875205003520.post-23013893644032580292012-11-20T09:49:00.000-08:002012-11-20T09:50:05.276-08:00DORIS BABYDOLL<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you should find yourself strolling along Haight Street, and should happen to walk into Relic Vintage, you can find my new collection in my little corner wardrobe! If you ever wanted to see it in person, touch the fabrics with your own two hands and try them all on for a twirl and a wiggle, they are all there for you to see! I'm really having a hard time letting that mustard yellow babydoll go, the one that started it all! Get to it first before I change my mind! xx.LLola Devlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363551379441945343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518619875205003520.post-68569641081043058372012-10-17T00:44:00.000-07:002012-10-17T00:44:37.939-07:00SHOP SHOP SHOP TIL YOU DROP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've said it before & I'll say it again, there is no place in the world that is more special than Cafe Jacqueline. I don't even think there is even a hint of a place like so in Paris quite like this teeny tiny soufflé restaurant in North Beach. Not one where you can go back to the kitchen and chat with her or at least (which you must) go back to say "Merci" in your best french accent after another awe-inspiring meal. I'll take any excuse to go, even if it is to celebrate a birthday late (mine) & this time I got to show someone new this little spot of heaven, my Mama! We got to try the yellow peach for dessert for the first time - she only picks enough good seasonal fruit from the market that morning and will have either one or ten of what is available, you unless you get there early to select one of the seasonal, you will stick to the classics- twist my arm! The best part is, I've been going long enough that she knows who I am and simply asked "how are you lingeries?" whilst whisking away at someone's leek soufflés & we had a giggle over my sewing cave and her soufflé cave...both equally a place of hard work and much love. xx.LLola Devlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363551379441945343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518619875205003520.post-79250713229013297232012-08-26T00:06:00.000-07:002012-08-26T00:06:08.146-07:00THANK YOUMy dear readers, I think that it is such a neat thing to hear about some of you who came from near and far to my little corner in the shop and picked something up for yourself!

I find that I can scour the world for inspiration and it all seems like fun & games but I know that once I've selected the fabrics for a new collection, inspiration for what to make is like when a tsunami hits the shore. Today, I spent a luxurious day at the fabric store picking and choosing and combining different fabrics to create what I didn't even know I had it mind. I feel it is easier to let the fabrics guide you for what you are about to become with this next collection, as it can be difficult sometimes to find what you really want in the color you have in mind. So instead, I play, running around every floor while carrying bolts upon bolts of fabric until I've got the perfect base to start a well-rounded collection and once everything is cut, becomes the even more fun part of choosing the trims and what not. Now, sitting in my studio with a cup of Mariage Freres tea (marco polo of course), the tsunami storm is in full force as I am trying to sort through my collection of inspirations that I have acquired for months now, some fancy, some smutty, always vintage, and am drawing up some blueprints for shapes and ideas. I can't say much more so far other than I am feeling like this is a meeting of the glamorous deco era with my love for classic 50's lines. And yes, I made sure that all of the fabrics matched my red lipstick. ;) xx.L</div>

But when she does something else, she very easily becomes all the animals who ever came out of the ark, rolled into one. Most people move by not keeping still; a very few move by moving; she does neither. She propagates - that is perhaps the word for it - a literally miraculous synthesis of flying and swimming and floating and rising and darting and gliding and pouncing and falling and creeping and every other conceivable way of moving; and all these merely conceivable ways are mysteriously controlled by an inconceivable way which is hers alone." - What E.E. Cummings wrote of burlesque star June St. Clare, in "Striptease - The Untold History of the Girlie Show" by Rachel Shteir<br />
