Ginch Gonch for Girls Review

Over the summer during one of the FreshPair sales I finally picked up a couple of Ginch Gonch knickers and I love, love, love them, so much so that when they had another sale I ordered the long johns for the fall! These squarely placed me in the Cozy Cutie category with a side order of childish, yet, like Boyfriend nightshirts these are still quite sexy. The 4-way stretch form fit cotton and the pillow tag (no itching or scratching there) are so soft, the wide elastic waistband doesn’t pinch or roll, the Underroo inspired prints are really fun and the How To Wear instructions are hilarious.

How To Do Pin Up Passion With Taschen!

If you’ve never come across Taschen (the Cologne-based publisher), you’ve definitely been missing out! Along with slightly more risqué themes, Taschen also publish fabulous books about art, photography, interior design and fashion, as well as a host of other tantalising subjects. Benedikt Taschen, the brain child behind the company, started selling his own drawings in Cologne as a mere nine year old; since then the publisher’s name has become synonymous with iconic celebrities and imagery.
