behind the scenes – BTS photoshoot “Into the Woods”- Woodstock

11.11.2014 by btslingerie // 1 Comment

Behind the Scenes – BTS photoshoot

This BTS photoshoot we wanted to bring to life that holiday feeling and we found the perfect cabin in the woods to capture that feeling, with a modern interior and exposed wood beams it set the perfect backdrop to tell the story of lazy days inside and scenic moments on the backdrop of upstate NY’s amazing fall foliage. The Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains are especially beautiful, the trees turn all shades of yellow, orange, and bright red, at their peak it looks like the mountains are on fire, and it is one of the most romantic backdrops to shoot our autumn/winter holiday story.

No BTS photoshoot would be complete without good food, so we brought our cast iron scone pan and made pumpkin scones! We also took a brief outing on our way back the day after in Downtown Woodstock and at the Tibetan Monastery, without further ado take a peek behind the scenes…

The woodstove in the house did an amazing job keeping us warm, we just had to  get the fire going and keep it fueled.

behind the scenes – Between the Sheets 2013 Holiday Pop up Shop

12.17.2013 by btslingerie // 2 Comments

The month leading up to the holidays is always a whirlwind, and well ours lived up to that. We had a ton of merchandise restocked the week before and after thanksgiving (and we’re still working on more) Then we had a sample sale and this pop up start on the same day the week after Thanksgiving. The pop up lasted two weeks and was organized by alumni of Design Entrepreneurs NYC,a program for emerging designers funded by the NYCEDC, we were in the first class about a year ago! The pop-up boasted a whopping 30 designers in a ton of categories, and here’s a peek at our little Between the Sheets nook.

Pop up Shop – A look Behind the Scenes

We went for a ski-chalet feel with faux sheepskin, warm browns,  faux everygreen/log printed fabric, and lots of little wood/snowy details – even electric tea lights to make a little faux fire!

Dressing up our window spot we played on the gold in our Leopard Play holiday collection with gold ornaments.

It snowed both weekends we were at the pop-up, so the cozy decor definitely kept us feeling warm.

On the last day it was a little hard to say goodbye to the beautiful little nook, but we packed it up in a record 15 mins!

Decorating our Pop up Shop

Our booth didn’t come together overnight, with a sample sale overlapping the first weekend we had to split our energy so it wasn’t until the week that we got around to making our space feel like home, here’s a look at what a little window dressing can do for bare concrete!

BTS DIY Wooden Signs – logo and social media

I’m a big fan of pinterest as a resource – I use it more often for crafty projects so a quick search yielded a great DIY sign via: Christina’s Adventures

Here for your reference, supplies total around $10 and can be found at a hardware store, You’ll need:

  • liquid nails
  • wooden shims (we used 2 packs of 12″ wooden shims for our larger sign, 1 pack for the smaller)
  • wood stain & white or light colored paint

As Christina suggested, I used cans as an easy way to hold down the shims as the liquid nails was drying. Notice the fashionable WWD news is our dropcloth!

From top left clockwise: Liquid nails and can weights, dried and hardened shims with stain applied, stencil printout laid over dried/stained wood for tracing, painting in between the lines.

sign number one: our logo. As I was painting I laid out the stencil in front as a reference just in case my tracing wasn’t crystal clear I could see what it was supposed to look like. Note: I broke off jagged edges on the the thinner end of the shims to give this sign a more weathered look.

Leopard Play – Gold Print Holiday Lingerie capsule

10.27.2013 by btslingerie // Leave a Comment

Holiday lingerie: Leopard Play- gold print chiffon

The holidays are just around the corner, and this year we decided that they needed to be dipped in gold! Gilded holiday lingerie wrapped up with a bow under the tree is the perfect way to say “I love you” or perhaps “I want you”…

We took a cue from one our most lusted after black label “Specimen of Seduction” styles, the Arabesque ouvert tap pant for the culotte in this little set. Gold hardware details play off the most subtle gold leopard print chiffon that glints in the light, fades to solid in shadows, and turns translucent and ephemeral (check out the window shots) This collection is all at once understated and eye-catching. Originally slated with just a babydoll and tap-pant – we got such a great response that we added a luxurious robe in the mix. Discover the full range below:
