Yesterday I shared photos inspired by the elegant, resourceful Irene Adler from the original Sherlock Holmes story “A Scandal in Bohemia”. I had so much fun thinking about the story and how I could use pieces from some of my favorite contemporary independent designers to evoke the cosmopolitan, artistic, and passionate world of the opera singer who ensnared a king’s heart. While neither the editorial nor today’s gift suggestions are 100% historically accurate, these gifts will definitely introduce a little mystery and grandeur into your lingerie drawer. I hope you enjoy!
