Summer Sensations at Journelle

I recently stopped into Journelle, my favorite boutique in NYC, to see the summer selections. I noticed a trend of light, airy pieces perfect for the 90+ degree weather we are experiencing here!My favorite pieces were from Araks, a brand we haven’t mentioned much here on TLP, but clearly should more often! Sweet and simple, yet very sexy, the collection is made up of sheer bralettes, panties, camis, chemises, and an absolutely adorable teddy. Details like ruching, silk and lace trims, and contrasting colors give the collection a unique flair. Choose from basic colors like Black and Cream or more summery colors like Sun, Lapis, and Marine.

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!

Bodas Swimwear for 2007

Mandolina — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 22:39:02 +0000

I feel kind of guilty about finding these amazing swimwear/beachwear collections at the end of June even though they’ve been around for a few months, but nevertheless I’m going to share them with you, seeing as they’re really worth checking out — and hey, some people have been able to hold out until now when it comes to buying their bikini, I suppose!

First up this sober bandeau bikini top. I like my bikinis sober — and this is an absolute beauty when it comes to minimalistic sexy. It’s also functional, the Bodas website says: “Another tip for this bandeau top is if you like swimming topless but don’t like emerging topless onto the beach you can to pull it down and wear it around your hips when you are swimming – it is really easy to pull back up”. I’m not such a fan of topless swimming (I prefer topless tanning), but I can see this being a fun little extra. It’s not cheap though, Â£45 just for the bottom.

This sexy triangle is great too — the tie-side string bikini bottom you can pair it up with is revealing, but I love the design. Again, sober, but pretty.

They’ve also got a sale going on the Bodas website — lingerie and sleepwear up to 50% off. Make sure to check it out!
