Vice Merchants Bedsheets : Subtle sex art in 300 thread count

I have a secret bed linen fetish. There I’ve admitted it. Others go gaga for a bit of lace and a nicely turned cushion and matching home decor but I’m all about the bed having delectable sheets and a brilliant pattern. Make the bed look good and I’m half yours.

Yes, my love for bed linen doesn’t compare to my shoe collection or my penchant for Dior Saddle Handbags- but I do very much enjoy pretty sheets and Vice Merchants linen designs seem to have been made with me in mind.

At first look they’re lightly patterned pale sheets, faintly floral, a little whimsical, a little dull even. At second glance it’s like woah, did you just spot the leg/boob/thigh in there?

These saucy silhouettes have been cleverly blurred into the print, and add a little X-rated risqué play to your sheets.

There are a few designs to choose from, from the pastel prettiness of Deco Gems to the blue infused Pearl Divers.. to the gay cowboy Cowpoke.

Pick your favorite- they come in all sheet sizes.

Check them out at Vice Merchants.

Little Mermaid walks on land : Walk with Princess Shoes!

The Little Mermaid is one of my all time favorite movies, so I screamed with excitement when I saw these shoes. Perfect on so many levels- I love the heel, the height, the mix of contrasting colors, and that they come adorned with Prince Eric and Ariel is simply too fabulous for words.

The heels are hand painted by Etsy Seller Ashton Atelier, and she’s a whizz at creating Disney Princess types on the bottom of your soles. Not only will she create Ariel- or Sleeping Beauty/ Cinderella etc, but she’ll also apply them to ANY pair of shoes you want, as you get to send her a pair to work with. Yes, that does make the whole princess a little pricier- and you’ll be without your shoes a while, but in return you get back a pair that you know fits well that has now had a major revamp.

Work out in style- Outfits for all workouts

If we’ve managed to learn one thing from January 2013 it’s that gyms are hard to get to, and that exercising when its cold sucks big time. If your resolutions need a boost, and your wardrobe needs a makeover, this is the right place for you. It used to be easy to workout- a pair of trainers and s ports bra, but multiple sports and interests mean that you require different outfits. Plus, you never know who you might meet at the gym. so you might as well be sweaty in style, right? All the following options can be adapted for your own particular budgets, so feel free to workout what styles would suit you.

Yogalicious

Yoga is a tricky workout to dress properly for., Sure, you envisage yourself looking serene and Sienna Miller like, but to get an effective workout you’re probably going to sweat, and skintight clothing and sweat patches.. umm, no. Look for clothes which offer antibacterial properties and ventilation and you’ll be able to downward dog it without worrying. Accessorise with a cute water bottle and sweatbands, and voila.

LeParcel- the beauty delivery box for THAT time of the month

Beauty boxes were big business last year, and they show no signs of slowing down. It’s easy to order everything from sneak peeks of new lipsticks to products for curly hair- and they’ve just added a new timely beauty box line to the current offerings. Called Le Parcel, this monthly box is designed to always get to you on time.. as you’ll need it.

Yes, this is tampons and pads BY MAIL. Each box comes with a selection of 30- and you can choose by brand and flow. Additionally you’ll get a bar of chocolate (mm) and a surprise- anything from a cute watch to some hair ties based on previous boxes. The boxes are timed to arrive 5 days before you ‘start’ so there shouldn’t be any mishaps and the packaging is pretty adorable.

They make ordering a simple process, and allow you to cancel ‘if things change’, and you won’t get charged if its within five days of delivery.

New York City Subway Tights

Navigating New York is not an easy task. Sure you could just yellow cab it around, but those Sex and the City days are gone, and it’s all about living with Girls style Dunham realism. These sexy looking NYC subway tights might not feature every stop you’ll need, but at least they’ll add a little razzmatazz to that subway ride. The tights feature the different stations and actually do map out some of the most common stops- for authenticity sake, naturally.

Created by Nylon Journal, the tights are made of microfiber nylon spandex, so they should be pretty longlasting. They also do a bunch of other covetable designs, including the eye exam tights, which I heart big time.

Gun stockings for some extra thigh spice

I would never try and glamorize guns, but I do find myself drawn to these rather stylish look gun stockings. There’s something about the delicate nylon of the tights against the printed gun images that make these strangely alluring.

It’s a combination of delicacy with the suggestion of something fiercer that draws me to these designs, and the fact that they’re wallet friendly helps as well.

AK47 Sunglasses from Jeremy Scott and Linda Farrow

Nothing says serious glamour like some hardcore weaponry, and these bling silver and gold gun-inspired frames add a certain element to any outfit. Now, you’ll have to judge if that is goof or not, but you won’t go un-noticed in these. Designer Jeremy Scott- known for being edgy- and classic sunglasses designer Linda Farrow have collaborated to create these designs, that blur the line between war-chic and good taste.

I think there’s something rather striking about them, and that if you weren’t looking closely you could almost miss the guns- those double takes will be entertaining. The frame shape would flatter most faces and the color choices are pretty classic.
