Fashion Natterings: Upcoming Lip Service Collections

I've been quite disappointed by Lip Service lately.  They did not produce what looked to be a lovely jacket from one collection then ruined another jacket I was looking forward to by making it out of cheap '70s sofa vinyl.

So I had pretty much written them off and taken comfort in Betsey Johnson.  I decided to check Redemption Klothing today just to see if Lippy was up to anything.  There are tons of line drawings up for some new collections.  There are several lovely men's items that I think Sweetie will look quite handsome in.  We need more matching Lip Service outfits in our lives, hee.  There are no production dates set and I'm not going to become too attached to the items since it seems they cancel a lot of their collections these days.

However, I can't help but squee gently and mentally re-arrange the Shiny Things Budget:

Step In Time - Westing Manor:

I am a fan of the Step in Time collections although I have not purchased anything.  (Sweetie has the men's tailcoat from the first collection.)  I'm still kicking myself for not purchasing any items in the lovely striped key print last year; my budget was just not in the right place at the time.

I will have to wait for the actual photos for the Westing Manor items to decide whether I like them.  Many of the items mention a plaid colorway and vinyl trim.  It all has the potential to look pretty terrible in my mind.

However, I find this print with stripes and Victorian ladies oddly charming:

Lady Print Cami

The Blacklist:

There are two tops that would be lovely for summer (ugh I do not wish to think of summer right now):

Chiffon Ruffle Top

Chiffon Cap Sleeve Top

For Sweetie:

Men's Tailored Jacket

Men's Velveteen Vest with Pocketwatch Chain

Men's Dress Pants

Desert Exile:

I rather like the cut of this jacket - even the little cargo pocket.

Stretch Canvas Jacket

For Sweetie:

Men's Stretch Canvas Cargo Pant

Voracious Velveteen:

Matching velvet jackets for me and Sweetie!

For Me:

Velveteen Jacket

For Sweetie:

Men's Velveteen Jacket

Gangsta Pranksta 2012:

This is probably one of the longest running collections.  You cannot go wrong with pinstipes!  I think the skirt and shrug would look striking together:

Collared Shrug

High Waisted Bustle Skirt

For Sweetie:

Men's Bondage Jacket

Men's Bondage Pants

Of course the bum flap on those pants would come right off.  Bum flap?  *shakes head*

Fashion Victim 2012:

Ooooh skelly jackets!!

For me:

Skeleton Screen Moto Jacket

For Sweetie:

Men's Skeleton Print Moto Jacket
