Claudie Song Swim / Evening Wear

LLS — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:15:08 +0000

Indeed, if price is any indication of luxury, then Claudie Song from Lyon, France fits the pattern. Ranging from three hundred to five hundred US dollars, these magnificent one and two piece swimsuits are breathtaking. But if the bathing suits alone are not stunning enough to admire, the idea behind the collection is pure genius.

The glorious bathing suit is actually an integral piece of a grander evening ensemble. Adding long gowns and skirts, the outfits, complete with bathing suits, can be worn as cocktail dresses or evening gowns. My personal favorite is the marvelous purple and white Dona Flor, long flowing jersey dress on bathing suit inlaid with amethysts. In addition to the long gown and one piece suit, the collection offers a two piece suit and gorgeous long flowing shawl-like scarf that can be over the shoulders of the gown or the bathing suits.

Although, the Dona Flor (photos above) would be my first choice because of the colour scheme, I would not complain about having to purchase instead the alluring Don Diego (below) with black tulle skirt, or the Flamenca in black and purple with scalloped breast highlights, or even the Infante citrine coloured gown with natural pearl straps.

Indeed, a romantic Caribbean vacation or destination beach wedding would not be complete without one of Claudie Song’s spectacular ensembles.

Huit 2008 Collections

LLS — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:04:48 +0000

Huit’s 2008 collection of swimsuits and lingerie can now be found in stores. The lines are dainty and feminine catering to younger and smaller women. The lingerie lines offer soft and padded bras, half bras, underwire and push up air bras. The little matching panties come in string style, brief boxer and low-waisted underpants. Demure colours in porcelain, milky white, platinum, raspberry pink and black keep the line elegant and classic to be worn under fancy or casual clothing.

To celebrate its fortieth anniversary, Huit Lingerie has recreated a 1970’s best seller in the TITCHA set complete with pretty flower design on each breast. Choose matching panties to complete the set.

Huit’s swimwear line comes in both two-piece and one-piece styling. Classic vibrant colours, cute little beach dresses and playful ribbons are the norm. One ingenuitive point I noticed is the one-piece suit made to look like a two-piece bathing suit.

Forty years in the business is justified with such subtle and timeless designs!

Gorgeous Maternity Collection from Belabumbum

Belabumbum, which is actually pronounced BelaBoomBoom, offers the most luxurious and fanciful maternity lingerie collection that would make any woman jealous. Playful and comfortable loungewear, sexy lace foundation wear and cute single and double piece bathing suits make it very difficult to believe these designs are made for pregnant women.

Their baby doll and pant sets are made to be worn, both to bed when sleeping and comfortably around the house, as the tops have adjustable straps and fully lined cups for extra support. The collection also offers nursing bras and panties in both a brief and thong style.

Belabumbum boasts all the right customers, too. They sell to many stars and are actually written up quite regularly when it becomes known that another celebrity is wearing their lingerie. Their Fall – Winter 2008 Maternity Collection will be shown in New York the last week of February. Products can be purchased online or in person in upscale boutiques across the United States, Toronto Canada and a few other international locations.

Jessica Simpson Bikinis – why not?

We’ve been flooded by Jessica Simpson Beachwear news on the net in the past few weeks… Ever since the first week of July the fashion blogs have been reporting, and quite frankly, I’m not so sure the Jessica Simpson Swimwear collection deserved all the hype. On the other hand — she is an A-list celeb, so whatever she does draws attention anyway.

Just for the fun of it — here’s the coverage on the blogs we love:
