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.

Dang but this is one of the coolest hoodies I have seen for the summer. Brought to you by the indie design crew at Supermaggie, it showcases their cephalopod love and fine aesthetic sensibilities. Front and center is a large black octopus, while the back is covered with a more detailed print which includes an upside down octopus as well as multiple blue waves. The two sided, two color print really makes this v neck hoodie stand out as a fabulous find. Printed on an oatmeal colored raglan pullover hoodie and made of a unique eco-fabric which is knitted imperfectly to create a vintage look, it is machine washable. With sleeves that hit above the elbow, marsupial pockets, and a plunging v neckline it’s both cute and perfect for layering.

Supermaggie: Octopus and Waves V Neck Hoodie

I am a sucker for camouflage, most especially if the colors are other than traditional. This cute, long cut tank top from Oakley is a nice example of a modern camouflage in a black and grey or white and grey print - the black is pictured below. Made of 100% cotton, the Oakley logo is pretty discreet on the lower left corner and surrounded by stars. A basic ribbed women’s tank with style and a little bit of bite.

Oakley: Women’s Travel Camo Tank

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.

This black zip front hoody from Heatherette is a charmer. I am most smitten with the fur lined hood and puff balls, but I also like the added detailing and pink buttons which are almost hidden against the pink all over graphical print. The sweatshirt is 100% cotton, and has front marsupial pockets, as well as a ribbed hem and cuffs. Add a little fur lining to your spring wardrobe.

Karma Loop: Women’s Majorette Hoody

A cute mama kitty sleeps peacefully with her litter, but who is that little pink one? This is a new woman’s shirt from the great designers of Gama-Go, and it comes in either black or green. The soft shirt is a 50/50 blend and the print is silkscreened on the front.

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.

I have a soft spot for most things bird, and this cute tee from Oakley pleases me with it’s ornate rendering of a hummingbird. Add in the bright azure colored tee with a soft heathered looking mineral wash and I am sold. The tee is also available in white, which is a bit more subtle, although the hummingbird seems more prominent contrasted against the white. Made of 100% cotton with a nicely detailed hummingbird screen printed on the right chest area and a small Oakley logo on the left shoulder. I like the contrast stitching on the sleeves, as well as the logo minimalism and the long cut tee that hits at the hip.

Oakley: Women’s Hummingbird Tee

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.

Shana Logic: Octopus Baby Doll Dress

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.
