FLEET ILYA

I AM OBSESSED WITH BRITISH LEATHER DESIGN HOUSE FLEET ILYA, WHICH USES TRADITIONAL SADDLE-MAKING TECHNIQUES TO PRODUCE THESE AMAZING, SCULPTURAL LEATHER ACCESSORIES THAT BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN FASHION AND BONDAGE (OK, THIS PARTICULAR PIECE IS FROM THEIR RESTRAINT COLLECTION, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH NOT BLURRING ANYTHING. IT IS WHAT IT IS). BUT JESUS, HOW BEAUTIFUL WOULD THIS BE OVER A DRESS? CHECK OUT ALL OF THEIR PIECES (THEY ALSO MAKE MORE SIMPLE CORSET BELTS AS WELL AS BAGS) HERE.

TODAY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY FLORENCE + THE MACHINE

I SEEM TO BE A BIT HEAVY ON THE MUSIC LATELY, NO? WHATEVER, I GUESS IT'S HOW I'M FEELING. THIS FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE SONG IS FOR MY DEAR FRIEND JESS, WHO I JUST HAD DINNER WITH. SHE IS A BRIT TOO, AND A GINGER, JUST LIKE FLORENCE, AND SHE HAS THE PASSION AND HEART THAT MAKES ME LOVE THEM BOTH.
