I am smitten with this cute color-blocked organic bamboo jersey dress from New York based designer, Gina Michele. I like the color choice (primarily navy, with a light blue bodice and brown trim), as well as the use of eco-friendly fabric, and the reasonable price tag. Cute, designer, organic and reasonably priced? Practically unheard of! With a sexy square neckline and rows of pintucking, this sleeveless tunic is both casual and nicely detailed. There is also a contrasting attached belt (ties in back) to add both shape and additional flair.

Couture Candy: Organic Soho Stroll Dress in Navy

So maybe this is not the most practical garment, yet it could be the one-piece sexy loungewear you’ve been seeking for those days when you can laze around the house, perhaps impressing the boyfriend (or girlfriend) with how hot you look in your navy blue organic french terry romper. It would probably make a cute easy on/easy off bathing suit cover up, too. Featuring a strapless tube style top with elastic banding and a 3 button closure, shaping is provided with a drawstring waist, while the shorts bottoms have a 3 inch inseam. All your goodies are covered, yet in a comfortable and cute casual style that is eco conscious. All this in 100% organic cotton, machine washable in warm water, made in the U.S.A.

How cute is this heavily detailed hooded smock dress? I am smitten. Perhaps it’s the cute model doing it justice, but I’d like to hope this charming dress will look fashionable and sexy on any girl. Made from a dark grey organic cotton and soy blend fabric, softness and excellent drape are the order of the day. A perfect little flirty dress for the summer, be ready to layer it over skinny jeans, opaque tights, hot pants, shorts, or whatever suits you. The smock measures 31 inches long, and features two pockets on the front hem, a bit of ruffling at the neckline and sleeves, and a splash of color with a skinny orange tie and green button at the neck. I really like that it is such a neutral shade, making it easy to add layers of color, or keep on with the neutrality depending on the occasion. Brought to you by indie designer, Anisa Makhoul, Makool Loves You is based out of Portland, OR. All shipping in the US is free.

As the summer heats up, you are perhaps still seeking the perfect swimsuit. We’ve featured a number of charming bikini choices lately and I finally found a one-piece swimsuit with enough flair and uniqueness to suit me. Offering something approaching full body coverage, this lined white one-piece features an all over seahorse print in dark blue. With a deep plunging neckline, the plunge ends with a cute seahorse charm dangling between and below the breasts. This swimsuit definitely draws attention to the chest region while keeping everything clothed. Features a halter tie at the neck, as well as a slim back tie to keep everything in place. Offers moderate rear coverage and is constructed of 80% nylon and 20% spandex.

Fig Leaves: Letarte Seahorse Plunge One-Piece Swimsuit

This swanky (and spendy) dress from famed designer James Perse is pretty great. With its dark color softened by the delicacy of ultra-fine cable knit, this dress will provide ample opportunity to show off different slips and other layers as it’s quite see-through. Timeless and versatile, this dress has a classic appeal that will make it a favorite through many seasons. Made of 70% cotton and 30% linen, it’s color is a faded black with a pale grey contrast detail and the garment must be dry cleaned. Features a 3 button closure at the bust, as well as ruching at waist and has ribbed banding at bottom hem.

Damn the Gap and their cute clothes that often actually fit me. Damn them, I say. I have a real soft spot for plaid, and madras plaid is no exception - I am smitten with this cool and casual summer dress. Available in original madras (pictured below) or blue madras which is nice, but not quite as eye catching as the yellow plaid. Made of a gauzy stretch cotton/polyester blend (96% cotton, 3% polyester, 1% spandex), this tiered ankle length dress is lined. Featuring adjustable spaghetti straps, the front scoop-neck ties into a saucy keyhole.

I think I am in love with the indie designers at Deadworry - they have my taste for oceanic creatures dialed in and have been featured on BirdFight repeatedly. Today I present their sweetly charming grey seahorse baby doll mini dress or tunic tank (how you choose to wear it is up to you). The dark grey a-line tank features a hand printed light grey seahorse graphic across the lower right hand quadrant - a large daddy and much smaller baby. Super cute! I am very charmed by seahorses and their unusual approach to life in the ocean. The mini dress is made of 100% lightweight cotton and has a very forgiving freestyle fit with gathering under the front and back square neckline. Can be washed cold with like colors and requires line drying.

I really like this fashion forward take on a classic dress. With a flattering a-line skirt and empire waist as well as a back tie, this is a style that is going to look good on nearly anyone, no matter what your personal attributes. Composed of a poly/viscose/lycra blend and brought to you by the indie style house of She-Bible, I had a really tough time deciding which color I liked best. Pictured below is the mauve version, but their cobalt blue is also lovely. Available in sizes XS to XL, this looks like a perfect spring dress that can be kept casual or dressed up as needed.

Who can deny the cephalopod love? I am smitten with this summery white tank style baby doll dress emblazoned with blue octopi. I would not have the balls to rock this as a mini dress, but it would look damn fine over some fitted bermuda shorts or capris. Brought to you by the indie designers at Deadworry, the two blue octopuses are hand printed on each garment. This relaxed fit tunic is made of 100% lightweight pima cotton - an Alternative Apparel sleeveless a-line blank. I like the square neckline and the ronstadt pockets on the front. This white tank style mini-dress can be washed in cold water with like colors, but needs to be line dried.

Looking for a charming new dress for the upcoming summer? This sweet and saucy little black vintage inspired dress may well be perfect. Black and slimming, this little outfit stands out with demure yet flirtatious cut outs and a metallic floral embroidery detail at the neckline and skirt. Easy to slip on and match to just about anything, yet with enough flair to make it shine. Made of 100% rayon, the drape is going to be fabulous. Available in sizes small to large, be aware that the vintage inspired cut probably requires that you be slender in the waistline and ribcage.
