Saturdays are my only day off of either MCAT prep, dancing, or being in the lab, so today will be filled with lounging around and playing D&D with friends
Gorgeous @vixen_lingerie put together this image of us twinning in @silklaundry’s fabulous silk teddy! For ages I didn’t realise @lingerieofthemonth’s “Twinning” concept was about looking or posing the same, the symmetry is wonderful when someone can make images that match beautifully like this but what I actually really enjoy about the theme is seeing the same garments or sets on different bodies. My curves absolutely pale in comparison to this gorgeous woman’s, yet look; here we are, in the same garment, both wearing it well. This is something that I think really speaks to the quality, design and cut of the piece (really nice work @silklaundry!) but also to our preconceived ideas of how something “should” look. I know I’ve often times been duped seeing something in a catalogue/webstore/magazine on a model ~roughly~ my size and thinking “ooooh that’d fit me!” Only to be bitterly disappointed when the item shows up and is miles too big/too long/sits funny/gapes/gathers or falls off because it’s just not made to suit anything outside of the ‘standard’ body proportions. So this is just a friendly PSA to say, you don’t have to be a leggy 5'9 and a stock standard size 8 for things to fit you, or even look good on you. Explore brands and garment/fabric types that work best for you! Look through these #LingerieOfTheMonth entries and see that maybe something you thought wouldn’t work on you, sits just right on someone a similar size or shape to you! Knowledge is power ladies and when we share our knowledge, we give each other the power to inform our purchases and shape the industry with our cold hard cashola! • #Twinning #SilkLaundry #Silver #Silk #Teddy #Sleepwear #Loungewear #LingerieAddicts #Curvy #Straight #BodyPositive #BodyLove #Lingerie #Love #EveryBody #LoveYourself #Whatever #Size #Shape #Shade or #Sex you are
Being at home all this time has made me realize how terrible my lounging clothes are . Not saying I’m going to stop wearing my NBA tees to bed, but I had to level up just a little. Wearing a cute set from @nastygal. Check my stories for the link to this lounge-set. - Have you leveled up on your lounge clothes this year? Where are you purchasing your loungewear from?

A simpler photo for today… I don’t know about you guys, but for the longest time, I considered clothes with built-in bras as a concept. I had never found any that would fit my breasts and my body at the same time and honestly wondered how they could fit so many different people with a S-M-L sizing. Actually, the idea of trusting a top to contain my breasts tissue outside of the house wouldn’t come to my mind. So when @sugarcandybra launched their Lounge tank top, I eventually got curious… I just published a review of this great product!

Check out the robe I designed for @kentwoman AW2018 ! Just updated my website with more of these photos, at mariekheffernan.com. Kent collections are created with organic silk, low impact dyes, and a fair and transparent supply chain. Stay tuned for more loungewear by me in Resort 2019.

The #metgala has me thinking about that time in 2013 that I designed a loungewear collection based on ornately decorated catacomb saints. Inspired by the book “Heavenly Bodies”. I love this theme more than anything. #extravagance #luxe #loungewear #fashionart #throwback #fashion #FIT #fashionillustration #mariekheffernandesign #fbf #flashbackfriday #metheavenlybodies #metgala2018 #skeletons #catacombs #saints #catholic #fashiondesign #inspiration #metropolitanmuseumofart
