If I have done nothing else for myself on the internet, I hope at least I’ve left you all with an understanding that this is how I want you to think of me: wearing something completely self-indulgent, eating cake.

It’s the last week of regular Sweet Nothings updates, so let’s talk about meeeeeeeee… While I’ve greatly, hugely, enormously enjoyed almost all of the posts and projects I’ve worked on over the last five years (including this one, a total of 490!), some posts hold a special place in my heart, whether because of the lingerie itself, […] Read more…
