by // Leave a Comment

We’ve showed you some other behind the scenes shots from the Specimens of Seduction photoshoot and you’ve seen the stunning final images on our new site, but the way these pieces move is just amazing. This  shoot was definitely magical with Larry Baglio behind the camera, Vincent Welch behind the film, Jaime in the spotlight, and our friend at Borrowed & Blue lending some gorgeous accessories this was one of our best shoots at BTS yet!

Revamp Productions- seriously sexy handbags

by // Leave a Comment

I heard about Revamp Productions back in high school when I fell in love with one of their bags, it’s a hardshell clutch with a printed exterior and shape that makes it look like you’re carrying a folded up poster or  magazine under your arm. The prints are usually kitschy and vintage. I love the colors, the themes, and the personality that this brand injects into their creations and I admire that they’ve been making bags in the USA for years!

I think some of these items could be worn with jeans and a tee to instantly inject a little pin-up/rockabilly style into your wardrobe! I have my eye on this Meteor handbag modeled here by the fabulous pin-up & cheesecake model Bernie Dexter:

I was surprised the other day to find this bag from their collection that shares our name- Between the Sheets! How funny, right? I have to say there must be something cosmically crossed because some of their styles in handbags definitely overlap with our vintage inspired lingerie.

Check out all the vintage car, tiki, pin-up, burlesque, and retro style handbags on the Revamp site. They may not be so budget friendly that you can buy them all, I know I’d stock up on those meteor/deville car inspired bags in all their colors if I could! Just one bag is enough to kick your closet and spring wardrobe into gear. The lingerie as outerwear trend is going strong, and these pin-up pieces are a great way to add to your look. I think some of the pieces border on costume but that’s the fun of it!

sexy food- berry berry yours parfait

by // Leave a Comment

Super easy and fast to make this sweet alternative to traditional sweets will be sure to satisfy your taste for something fresh, crunch, or sweet. Since fresh fruits and berries are starting to come into season I plan on adding back in this summer staple to my regular rotation!

Ingredients:

  • A couple of spoonfuls of plain or vanilla yogurt (I prefer vanilla which is sweeter, but regular yogurt is great if you like its tartness)
  • Assortment of fresh berries ie. raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries
  • Granola of choice (here we used Honey Bunches of Oats – Just clusters)
You can use low-fat yogurt and if you want you can make your own granola so you can control the ingredients. In case you want to try making your own granola check out a recipe by alton brown click here
I also tend to go with more berries and yogurt and really try to limit the granola, but it’s really to your tastes the ratio of each in your take!
To add an elegant/refined touch I like making this parfait in a martini glass or champagne flute so you get a really nice view of the layers from the side- plus it makes you feel like you’re getting a luxe dessert at an outdoor cafe (at least that’s what I like to think)

raspberries next (you could also add strawberries & blackberries- the more the berrier!)

bon appetit!
