Sailor Girl Anchor Print Capris by Lucy Love: ahoy matey!

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Looking for a way to bring a little more piratical fashion to your wardrobe? Check out these cute anchor print capri pants which are currently on sale at PlasticLand. The cut and style of these navy capris were inspired by retro track pants, so they have a nice wide waistband as well as a two button faux fly. Made of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, the manufacturer warns that they run small, so you may wish to size up when ordering. Navy cropped pants with a cute all-over white anchor print - not just nautical, I say they could easily be piratical.

Vix Swimwear Kenya Bikini: tiger-licious two piece

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

My search for the sexiest animal print swimsuit continues. This dense tiger print bikini is pretty perfect, but be prepared to pay a little extra to look so good - seems my personal taste is always expensive! The halter bandeau style top features a ring detail between the cups as well as removable padding plus side boning for a bit of structure and support. This safari print bikini top will look best on those with a smaller bust, especially once you know it ties at the back versus using a more traditional hook and eye closure. The side tie bikini bottoms offer moderate rear coverage, and have cute tassels to add a little extra pizazz to the suit. Made in Brazil of polyamide and elastane, this bikini set is fully lined and requires hand washing in cold water.

I am a big fan of the New York based designers at Loomstate - they bring nice details and organic fibers to a casual wardrobe that is both classic and stylish. Check out these cute and flattering straight leg corduroy pants currently on sale at Sodafine. Made of 100% organic cotton, they feature a 7.5 inch rise and the slightest bootcut flare at the ankle of the pant.

Marked down 40% from their original price, they are still available in most sizes

Vix Swimwear Savana Tube Detail Bikini: distilled animal magnetism

Friday, April 25th, 2008

This bikini has tons of sex appeal as well as furthering my personal fascination with animal prints and the perfect two piece swimsuit. The monochromatic animal print is striking and spotted, and the black and white print will look good against all skin tones, especially the tanned ones. Featuring fully lined triangle cups, this halter style bikini top will look great on A and B cups, and might be dangerous on C cups and up. The manufacturer says the cups provide half cup coverage, so be prepared to cause a sensation on the beach. The bikini brief has a low rise with a folded waistband, while providing moderate rear coverage. Both top and bottom also have eye catching metallic detailing, which makes this bikini look especially modern. Made of 84% polyamide and 16% elastane.

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

As my thoughts turn from spring to summer (we had our first 80 degree day last week here in Portland), I am always seeking the perfect summer skirt. What does perfect mean to me? Easy to pull on and wear, easy to match, versatile, not too short, and made of cotton. This cute ruffly skirt meets all my criteria. Available in 7 colors, choose from indigo, black, emerald, cocoa, lily, blush and bright ginger (shown below). Made of 100% cotton and fully lined. Features an elasticized waistband and tons of pleated pin-tucks which add volume and a sense of texture. With a cute ruffled bottom tier, this gauzy skirt hits at the knee.

Shoshanna Madras Plaid Bikini: bright colored sex appeal

Monday, April 14th, 2008

While Shoshanna is quite proud of their saucy madras plaid bikini (read - this two piece is spendy!), there is no denying it’s sex appeal. And what you are paying for in addition to cuteness is a good and proper fit. The top is sized by cup and features an underwire - no generic small, medium and large options here. The bandeau style bikini top has a center knot detail, side boning for shape and support and a triple hook-and-eye closure at the back. Fully lined, it also has a thin detachable halter strap, so you have two ways to wear this bikini. The bottoms feature side ties for style and full rear coverage, and is sold separately from the top. Shell is made of 80% nylon and 20% spandex and requires hand washing in cold water.

La Blanca Zebra Crossing Tankini & Brief: sexy animal print two piece

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

It’s almost time to break out the swim suits and flaunt your good taste and sexy bod. I am really liking this mahogany colored zebra print two piece for lots of reasons. Not only is it a tankini, which provides a little more coverage through the torso, it has lots of modern flair with the bandeau style and large wooden ring at the chest as well as a contrasting orange halter tie. The effect is modern, sexy, yet not as exposed as some styles. The top also features a shelf bra and lightly foam lined cups for support - this suit is going to look extra great on ladies who are smaller chested. The bottoms continue the cuteness with side ties in the contrasting orange fabric, full rear coverage and a low rise. The chevron pattern of the zebra markings creates an elongating effect, and the contrasting orange ties really makes this suit pop. Made of 85% nylon and 15% spandex, this two piece is kinda spendy, but you’re going to be a knock out, so it’s definitely worth the cost. The pieces are sold separately.

Emily the Strange Women’s Creepy Bone Cami Set: bone-tacular girly goodness

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

That’s right, I am on a skeletal roll! Check out this super charming girls sleep set featuring a tank with rib bones and vertebrae graphic, plus matching undies with pelvic bones. Brought to you from Emily the Strange, be aware that the bones are only on the front side of the set. Actual details about the garment are hard to come by, but I am guessing the set is made of cotton and spandex, with more of an emphasis on the stretch. There is another, nearly impossible to find version (at least here in the States) with additional red detailing that is super fine. Here is one selling on Ebay from Hong Kong, should you be feeling the love. Either choice is perfect for your inner goth girl, or old skool punk rocker.

Organic Seasonal High Leg Printed Brief: warmth of skin changes printed design

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Cute, organic and these trippy panties use thermochronic ink in their tree graphic? I was not familiar with the term “thermochronic” - it means that once the panties are warmed by your skin the leaves on the tree disappear. Pretty cool! Brought to you by the British company Greenknickers, these underwear are bright yellow with a tree design gracing the front. Made of 100% organic cotton, these undies have a high rise waist and full rear coverage.

Giraffe keyhole halter one-piece bathing suit: sexy safari

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I am a sucker for animal print (it just never gets old for me when done well), and Gap has caught my attention with this playful and saucy giraffe print one piece swim suit. The keyhole style top is going to provide a really flattering cut for the smaller busted ladies, and the bathing suit offers moderate rear coverage that many girls will find appealing. Too much coverage, you say? Fear not, they have also released a sexy giraffe print halter top style two piece.
