Vintage Inspired Lingerie

We have a confession. We have a weakness for vintage inspired lingerie. That's why we can't get enough of Lucy B lingerie!

They make the cutest and sauciest lingerie in bralettes, ruffled panties, garterkinis and garter belts, babydolls and chemises. Their design, fabrics, and attention to detail are a tribute to pin-up lingerie at it's best.

We think Bettie Page would have LOVED Lucy B!

"Bra Man" helps out women in need

(Oct 8) - It may be concealed under clothes but the bra is a critical garment that can be expensive to buy, and that people often don't think to donate. Now, a Chicago man is working to change that for women in need. Oz du Soleil runs a charitable effort aimed at collecting new or gently used bras and donating them to lower-income girls and women, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Oz du Soleil's Chicago home is filled with piles of new and used
bras ready to be donated to underprivileged girls and women.

He collects the undergarments through donations via his blog. Du Soleil quickly surpassed his initial goal of 1,000 bras and has since collected more than 3,000 in total. His home is filled with boxes of bras in many colors, style and sizes.
Schools, homeless shelters and churches are among the organizations that have received the donations. He has given away over 1,400 to date.
Getting the word out about his trove can be tricky. "Usually they ask if I'm serious, and then I just tell them I've sent more than 1,400 bras around the world," du Soleil told the Chicago Tribune. "I am careful about it since people do look at you like you're some weirdo."
How did du Soleil come to be known as the "bra man"? He traces the roots of his nonprofit endeavor back to an earlier digital art project where he posted pictures of bras along with their owners' stories. When his girlfriend came across the leftovers, she donated them to a local school.
"I was really moved by the response," du Soleil told the Tribune. "The girls wanted them because most of them had one bra to go to P.E., to parties, to the grocery store, to the doctor. It was about giving them dignity."

Knickers Saucy Cheese Bites

We love this little savory cheesy cracker, so we served it at our bra fitting event. Here's the recipe in case you'd like to make them.

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (room temp)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 stick of butter softened
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

Mix all ingredients in a food processor until blended. Form dough into a log, wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Slice dough into 1/4 inch bites. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat mat.

Our Gift to you in October!

Pink Tulips!

It's become one of our favorite traditions! During the month of October, we'll share with you some pink tulip bulbs. Plant them now, and when they bloom in May, they'll remind you to get your mammogram.


Planting tips:
Plant tulips in late fall in well-drained soil. Grow them where they will get at least 5-6 hours of sun a day; full sun in preferable. Dig the soil to a depth of 8-12" and work in Bulb Booster or other bulb food. Set the bulbs 4-8" deep and 4-8" apart, depending on size and variety.
