LOLA BABYDOLL

My signature babydoll & favorite style to make...in purple of course! x.L

RELIC VINTAGE

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.L

SHOP SHOP SHOP TIL YOU DROP

Bringing you some seriously drool-worthy fabrics trimmed with laces that could bring you to your knees, we have finally gone live in the online shop! Everything as you know if you have read this blog for a while, has been made with care & an incredible amount of patience, love and always heaps of giggles. Inspired from past times in history, my personal favorite lines for lingerie & some from my dreams, I hope someday you are able to pick up something to wiggle around your house in. Don't you dare forget to pair with your best bedroom stiletto. Light me up, turn me on! xx.L

IT'S A GOOD DAY

I am thrilled to be able to announce that I have a fabulous, beyond fabulous in all of its simplicity, brand new website! Which also means, my dear readers, that you can now finally view the Light me up, Turn me on Collection! I now have the final duties of listing everything in my Etsy shop as well as hang & tag many of these items in my little corner of Relic Vintage. I have to say a big thank you to my web designer, Monika Cancilla who did such an amazing job & was great to work with- without, this could not be possible.

Check it out! And I will hopefully have these items available in my shop by the end of this week! Snag up what you really love quickly as most I only made one of each! xx.L

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO...

LIGHT ME UP, TURN ME ON from Lola Devlin on Vimeo.

It is absolutely amazing to see a dream come to life, and it is almost strange for me to watch the video because it is exactly as I had imagined it in my head. I owe it all to my incredible production team - Carson Bell (Production), Ms. X (Model), Mr. Oran Scott (Actor), I couldn't do it without you! I hope you all enjoy! xx.L

CAFE JACQUELINE

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.L

THANK YOU

My 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 just want to say thank you, truly and I hope you have been enjoying those knickers and turning heads in those pencil skirts! I appreciate you all so very much & that goes for those of you as well who want something but haven't gotten it yet. Before I get sappy, I'll sign off...again, thank you from the bottom of my high-heeled heart. xx.L

FEELING DECO

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
