Now admittedly, I’m no girl (although that’s arguable in certain situations!). But I can appreciate style and kitsch clothing like the rest of them; hell who hasn’t worn tights before right? Even builders wear them under their jeans in the winter to keep warm (a builder told me this! It was a typically random conversation in the world of DJ Heathen).

So I present to you printed tights by Les Queues De Sardines who produce an array of beautifully designed leg apparel worthy of any fan of retro and vintage clothing. Current season styles include a beautiful pair of nautical tattoo inspired tights with past seasons covering everything from tights depending on the weather outside to geometric patterns and funky cute monster-ish type designs.

Personally, I find their offerings to be a perfect amalgamation of retro/vintage with elegance and a dash of style. Lets face it, they beat the usual selection of tights in your local favourite clothing store hands down (or should that be feet down) yes?

As usual of course, they are not the easiest to get hold of. They are only available from one shop in England and lucky enough for you Londinium folks, you’re not too far away from it! Head down to Luna And Curious at 198 Brick Lane, London.

Hi all,

I though long and hard about what would be the best way to show you all great selection of lingerie available at Queeni-B Boutique so that you could get a proper feel of how it fits and moves with the body, and of course how utterly pin-up cute it all is! And here is the result, the Hula Lula Vintage Pin-up Peep show starring Olivia Orchid in all her hula glory showing the lingerie in action. The lingerie featured includes lots of vintage inspired bras, panties and pasties by BannBee, the Queen of Hearts Bra and Panties set by Bunnies Forever and a couple of pieces of cherry-picked vintage. Olivia (or Lula) also wear some really cute 1940s style hats by Rosielee Clothing. I’d like to thank everyone involved, the editor Roshan Moliko and Olivia for shaking her thing! As for everyone else, I’d love to hear what you think of the goodies.
Best wishes, Be

If you’re a fan of fifties kitsch, burlesque frills and Dorothy Gale is your biggest icon, you love the newest addition to Queeni-B Boutique from East London designer BannBee.  These kitsch gingham panties come in a choice of red and white or black and white and both have adorable frills at the hip. The knickers are ideal for a country pin-up look and wreak of 1950’s nostalgia, as they should since much of BannBee’s handmade lingerie is inspired by the style of 1950s pin-ups.

A new vintage inspired lingerie set is new in today, brought to us by lingerie label BannBee. This chocolate brown and cream bra and panties set sports the classic halter-neck cut and iconic polka-dot print of 1950s fashion whilst having a slight hint of burlesque influence in the details, the panties are ruched and gathered at the rear and are adorned with a big spotty bow.  The whole BannBee range is lovingly handmade in the East End of London and is such seductive eye-candy it’ll make any girl feel like a proper pin-up!

Today we have an exciting new range in from London Designer Emma Brigitte London. We spotted Emma at one of our favorite hunting grounds Craftactular just before Christmas where she was showing a selection of beautiful and unusual customized vintage knitwear and some yummy handmade 1950s style dresses. Emma has since been working on some new pieces too; some 1950s inspired playsuits. All of the above are now available at www.queenib.com. Each knitwear piece is an individually customized vintage jumper or cardigan adorned with the Emma Brigitte London signature lace insert which adds a romantic feel to a previously disowned gem. There are two super-cute playsuits with giant bows; one leopard print and one pink and black polka-dot, both are perfect for a budding pin-up or rockabilly girl. Finally but not least of all, we have six 1950s style dresses exclusive to Queeni-B Boutique. The six styles include the 1950s inspired ‘Bo Peep’ dress in polka-dot or floral – a pin-up inspired tailored dress with sweetheart neckline and peekaboo back, the 1950s inspired floral ‘Hattie’ short pencil dress with peekaboo back and the ‘Missie’ dress –  a yellow polka-dot dress with adorable plunge white collar back. All of these shapely dresses are designed to emphasize those pin-up curves. Click here to view the Emma Brigitte London collection.
