Lingerie
As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently shot with Miss Betsy Rose and Bella Noell (hair/mua) for Ava Corsetry!
The last time I shot Betsy was back in 2011 for Playful Promises, so it was wonderful to work with her again. We shot so many looks that I've decided to split the images up into separate batches, and post each batch separately.
Here's the first set - I'd love to know what you think, what your favourites are! I believe all the corsets are available to order from Ava Corsetry.
One of the most wonderful (well, depending on how you look at it, perhaps the word "tempting" is more apt) things about the post-Christmas period is SALES!
There's some amazing lingerie sales on at the moment, and I've been incredibly tempted. I'm being very good and saving my money for a much-needed coat (from Collectif), but I can still share my wishlist!

Earlier this month, I caved in, for the second time, to Amoralle's 70% off sale.
I've previously mentioned how much I adore Amoralle's loungewear/lingerie, and the socks/leggings that I DO have from them are beautiful.
However. I have to say it. I'm completely put off by how long both of my orders took to ship.
I really try not to complain about customer service etc, and I'm imagining that Amoralle has a fairly small team, but I feel that 18 days JUST for the items to ship is ridiculous. The first time I ordered from them, back in May, it took 13 days.
This time I did recieve a copy&paste email 4 days before the items finally shipped, saying they would be delayed a little longer because of the high volume of sales.
As I said before, I hate complaining, mainly because I'm not just an uninformed consumer, I know how difficult it is. I pack, ship and deal with customer service emails as part of my day job. With just myself dealing with the orders, I think I've only ever been a few days delayed (EVEN during a sale period), and even then I send out personal emails to the customers who are waiting. If the wait is outstanding (over 5 days), we would offer a free gift.
The issue I have is that Amoralle are supposed to be a luxury brand, and that means that the entire shopping experience should be luxury, which includes the shipping. One may argue that during a 70% off sale, customers cannot expect such a luxury experience, but surely this is the ideal time to draw future customers in. If I hadn't have had such a delay on both of my orders, I would still be considering saving up for one of the bodysuits.
Oh well! I bought the striped socks (they are actually a dark brown and white) above and these sheer leggings with long bows. As I said before, the products themselves are beautiful quality! I wore them with my Irregular Choice boots.
EDIT
Amoralle kindly got in touch with me to apologise and explained that they had some technical difficulties when dealing with orders :)
