What I particularly love about the S/S collection is the variety of unique silhouettes that designer, Adam Sakara, uses to captivate the eye including kimonos, bralettes, tap shorts, rompers, and more.  I also love the versatility of the pieces.  Not only can they be mixed and matched to create new looks, but a number of pieces are able to double as outerwear as well as innerwear.  My favorite innerwear as outerwear piece would have to be the romper.  In both ivory and black, the piece is striking and could easily be incorporated into an outfit for a night on the town.   Another favorite feature of this collection is the subtlety of the colorways.  With simple, yet elegant combinations like black and ivory, black and lavender, gray and pink, and pink and ivory, the intricacy of the design shines through.

See above for a sampling of photos of the collection.  Many more are on the website.  I promise, you will be hooked!

Bodas was a new brand to me. With bras, knickers, camis, and more in cotton, mesh, and tactel, the collection is ideal for keeping you cool and comfortable as well as chic. In a variety of colors and styles, Bodas is perfect under clingy summer dresses and sexy summer short shorts!

With wedding season in full swing, I’m sure many of you are purchasing gifts for friends or perhaps for yourself. If you are looking for something a little different, I suggest Letters of Marque. This line proves that the sweet, vintage Victorian look can be sexy too. Soft and sheer with Leavers lace embellishments, it will be hard to choose between the bralette and cami and the bloomers and g-string. The collection also includes a babydoll and bed jacket.

Pretty, pretty! If you are in New York City, visit Journelle for a sampling of each of these collections. If you are out of the New York City area, you will soon be able to shop Journelle online, but in the meantime, check out Araks and Bodas at Lille Boutique and Letters of Marque at Nancy Meyer and Dollhouse Bettie. Enjoy!

Remember, if you’re ever looking for hard-to-find What Katie Did styles, or are just bargain hunting, keep What Katie Did’s ebay shop bookmarked! End-of-the-line and other merchandise can be found in the ebay shop, often at discounted prices.

While I was a little apprehensive about trying a new site, the clock is ticking, so I had to jump on it. Navigating the site was easy and the check out process was a breeze. I appreciated the follow up email detailing my purchase. The set was shipped the following day and arrived neatly packaged a few days later.

The site features swimwear brands like L*Space and Luli Fama and lingerie brands including Undrest and Dessous. While the number of brands featured is small, the selection is decent and the purchasing process is easy. I would definitely use this site again.

The versatile Mia collection is available in a number of colors that include a chemise, bralet, and french brief among other silhouettes.

Heart to Heart reflects the ultimate in comfort. Mix and match a cami or 3/4 tee with a boyshort, short, or pant.

Bisikay is current available at a number of boutiques including Intimacy in both New York and Atlanta, Delicates in Boca Raton, and Le Soutien in Denver. While I did not see the option to purchase these on the websites, you may want to visit if you are in the area or give them a call. Hopefully, Bisikay will be in more stores very soon. If you spot Bisikay in a store near you, please let us know!

As always, the detailing is impeccable. I love the keyholes on each side of the bikini. The addition of the bow above each is simply darling!

The photos seen here are from the “Peach Bellini” colorway. Age of Innocence is available at Macy’s West stores in June. Hopefully, the group will be arriving at a store near you (and me) in the near future as well!

For Autumn/Winter 2008, Lavande SWK is introducing the glamorous group, “Primadonnas and Sugarmamas.” This impressive 20 piece collection, featuring bralettes, babydolls, knickers and more, retains the signature, sensual style of Lavande SWK while adding new elements, such as elegant bras with more structure.

The colorways for this feminine group range from a light, frosty silver to the darkest black with rich teal and muted lavender in between. Another attribute of this lovely collection is that a number of items, such as the babydolls, can be worn as inner wear or outerwear!

Lavande SWK is available at a number of retailers throughout the U.S., including TLP favorite, Faire Frou Frou (from which you can also order online!). To see a list of stockists on the website. I’ll continue to keep you posted on new locations as I hear about them.
