Summer Suits!

The weather is getting warmer and living by the beach, I'm thinking about new swimsuits! I went to a few sites that have the cutest you will find this season. Now, we both know that suits don't come cheap. Every year I find myself asking, "why so much for such little fabric?". From someone that has a design degree, there is a lot more that goes into creating the perfect/cute bathing suit. One has to think about how this suit is going to look on and hold up in water. Many, many elements go it not it, so cost is appropriate. That doesn't mean I still don't complain, but I especially complain when I cheap out and get a suit that sits like crap! Coming from someone that has a larger bust, fit and how fabric is going to hold up, in addition to comfort is VERY important!

All that said...check out what I found!

New Fashion Websites For You

Searching around on the web led me to a couple of sites that have great clothes and really good prices. The first is Need Supply Co. from Virginia. The clothing and prices are along the lines of Urban Outfitters and Mod Cloth. What I like is that it's a little less "bohemian" and a little more fashionable rather than too "cutesy". They also carry mens' clothing! Woo!!!!! So here are a few things I picked off the site that I really liked....

The second site I want to share with you is Nasty Gal (I love this website!), it's a little 80's & kinda mod and offers both new and vintage items. Like Need Supply, Nasty Gal carries Jeffrey Campbell shoes (my new and latest love). Here is a bit of what I chose from the site.

Happy shopping girls!!! xoxo

Heels and WHAT?!

The 80's have come and gone and so has it's fashion. Lately though we have seen younger generations picking through fashions worst decade and bringing pieces home from the mall. I personally loved the 80's for it's music and movies, but style wise, I'm quite finished with all of it. Okay, okay... not ALL of it. Which leads me into the topic at hand. Did you EVER think that you would wear socks with heels ever again (outside of a Halloween party)??? During the Spring/Summer 2010 runway shows, ankle socks with heels (sandals) were all over the place. I'm telling you this because I bought my first pair of "heel socks" and I wanna say, they're super effing cute! I don't think of it as a revisit to the 80's, I like to think of it more along the lines of "50's European summer".

If you are a fashion forward gal and willing to try this out, here are a few guidelines. Make sure that the socks are thin, and hit just a couple of inches above the ankle (or if you want to wear a pair to the knee, but NOT over it), and really, stay away from all the ruffle and neon colors. Try to keep to neutral colors or white and black. Your best bet is wearing black with black heels, then it comes off looking more like cute little booties. I posted some of what was on the runway for visual guidelines.
