DREAMY MONDAY WITH DOLCI FOLLIE

What could be more perfect on a Monday morning than lacy pastel loveliness? I give you Dolci Follie, a luxury lingerie heaven tucked away in Notting Hill. It's only been open a few months and is already attracting attention for it's exclusive luxury brands, interiors - inspired by an opulent Venetian Palazzo, and quality of service (a glass of Prosecco in the changing suite? Thank you kindly!) 

Needless to say the boutique is rising fast and I can see why when I met the Simona, the owner of Dolci Follie; she told me that there is real TLC lacking from todays luxury lingerie experience, she treats each customer as an individual and builds up respect over time, which is why her loyal customers keep on coming back. 

This boutique really is a girls dream, whether you're looking for dreamy intimates or swimwear for a holiday, Simone has it all! I totally fell head over heels for the silk pyjamas by Olivia von Halle, I've decided they are the only things suitable to lounge around the house in. Also, if any of you or your friends are getting married you simply have to visit, whether it's a special gift or a full set, the range is SO BEAUTIFUL!

Thank you to Olivia from Bryan Morel for spending the afternoon with me, I'm sure I'll be back before you know it! 

You can find Dolci Follie on 28a Hereford Road, W2.

Marie Jo L’Aventure by A.F. Vandevorst

Belgian lingerie company, Marie Jo L'Aventure, has formed a unique partnership with fellow Belgian fashion due A.F. Vandevorst to create this exclusive collection.

The great thing about this collection is the contrast between revealing and concealing, for example; Knickers with transparent legs are reminiscent of briefs worn over skin tone stockings, this creates a beautiful layered effect. Natural earth and skin tones paired with charcoal and dark grey's are the colour palette for this collection.

A key piece in this design collection is a revamped corsage, which uses transparent tulle and a mix of colours, lines and materials to make an immaculate design piece.

The A.F. Vandevorst piece unique will be touring around Europe through September till November where after the European tour it will return to its hometown of Antwerp, Belgium where it will be exhibited in the entrance hall of the MoMu, Fashion Museum Antwerp December 7^th through to 19^th 2010.
