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!

MODCLOTH for my girls

Some of you may have heard of the website MODCLOTH. If you haven't, it's kinda like Urban Outfitters. I happen to think it's a little bit better clothing wise though. When I first found this site, it reminding me of my girlfriends Selina my Love, Sarah Rosenbud, and Jessica "Gizzy" Lee. Plus they have a lot of the retro era I love. Here are some examples of great shit from this website. Oh, they do carry vintage clothing, but my MAJOR complaint is that the whole lot, except usually one item, is listed as sold. Total BUMMER!!!

Nicolita & Unigue Vintage: 2 new sites for you!

Spring is in the air, it's warm outside, and I'm going to Las Vegas this weekend, so it got me thinking about swimsuits and fun dresses. Browsing around on the web like I do, I came across a couple websites that I really liked and I thought I would share them with you!

Nicolita

NICOLITA'S designer, Nicole Di Rocco, established NICOLITA Swimwear in 2003. Di Rocco's designs focus on conservative sexy and curve conscious styles. It's obvious her inspirations stem from her family's cultural Cuban roots. Nicole creates each bikini collection that is reminiscent of Cuba's 1940's era, by blending vintage glamour with modern day silhouettes. The NICOLITA line includes handbags, bikinis and accessories and are produced in Los Angeles.








Unique Vintage

This site focuses mostly on many types of dresses. You can find a flapper dress, a prom dress, a wedding dress, and a cute summery dress all on the same site! It kinda seems corny, but once you browse through, you can find some adorable stuff at decent prices. I was really impressed with their swimsuits and retro dresses.
