Simple Shoes Cushee- Eggshell comfort

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

The Cushee undoubtedly gets it’s name from the nice big insole which looks like it might make a day of wearing these flip flips from Simple Shoes a delight. While not officially part of Simple’s Green Toe line, we gave them an eco friendly rating for effort. The shoe is after all constructed using hemp, and a recycled rubber out sole. Simple even goes as far as to ship their products in biodegradable bags. Many companies have jumped abourd the green train in an effort to profit, Simple is not one of them. They continue to show creative ways to make appealing shoes while taking real measures to do what they can to cut down on harmful waste.

Madras Patio Dress: casual plaid comfort for summer

Monday, May 19th, 2008

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.

Blumarine Leopard Print Bikini: flaunt it, wild thing

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Your assets are going to look extra tasty in this big cat inspired jersey leopard print bikini by Blumarine Beachwear. Local temperatures have spiked crazy high for May setting new records this weekend and encouraging people to wear less and less clothing to cope - a perfect time to find a sexy new swimsuit for this year. Big pluses for this two piece are the wonderful black rosette print on a warm beige fabric and the tie front underwire bra style top complete with hook and eye closure. A good fit and sense of support on top is always welcome in a swimsuit. Both pieces have gold colored contrast trim and are made of 72% polyamid and 28% elastane. The bikini bottoms are a high cut brief and offer moderate rear coverage.

Deadworry Grey Seahorse Dress: charming oceanic icon

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

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.

Men’s Sequined Vishnu T-Shirt: supreme being takes flight

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

With a bold teal and yellow color scheme, this Vishnu tee from Artful Dodger is a real eye catcher. Vishnu is known as the supreme being who is responsible for the preservation of the universe. Pretty big job, eh? This rendering captures him with talons, immense wings and a crown upon his head. Printed on a white cotton t-shirt, Vishnu is front and center across the chest, and there is a small logo printed on the back. The shirt is also available in a khaki version.
