News / Summer item Bikini turns 60
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 10:19 AM
When the bikini first made its debut at a poolside fashion show in Paris 60 years ago, the designer had to enlist a stripper to wear it because the models refused.
My, how times have changed.
Check out this photo gallery from Slate documenting the early days of the two-piece, once scandalous, swim suit.

The Snuggie phenomenon overwhelmed the country. Now with summer around the corner, there's the Wearable Towel. Will this too take the country by storm?
The Wearable Towel has three arm openings placed along the side and does not employ the use of any fastener. It is unisex and can be worn in either a tunic style or a toga style. The company appeals to your patriotic side by offering the Wearable Towel in colors of red, white or blue.
And how much do you have to shell out for this great summer item? How about a mere $19.95. Act now and you'll also get a free backpack!

Features / Summer item Fashion goes highlighter for summer
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 3:45 PM
The 80s are coming back full force for the summer. In fact, with all of the bright neon colors blinging in the malls nowadays for summer, you practically need you some shades to shield you from the highlighter colored attack.
From the LA Times:
Summer's shocking color palette isn't for the timid. Flashes of neon are adding a sporty feel to warm-weather dressing that's a throwback to the roots of Southern California beachwear. Think Body Glove, Camp Beverly Hills and Sarah Jessica Parker's SanDeE* character in "L.A. Story." How could we not do this shoot at Venice Beach?British designer Christopher Kane was onto the trend a couple of years ago when he showed tube dresses in highlighter shades. But neon didn't really make its mark until this spring with Alexander Wang's boyfriend jackets in "Miami Vice" brights, DKNY's sporty anoraks and miniskirts, and Louis Vuitton's Pop Art Stephen Sprouse collection totes (pictured above) and shoes.
Apparently, if you want to be hip and trendy this summer, your clothes and accessories should scream for attention. Hey, I'm not hating.

Features / Videos / Summer item Online shopping done right with bevello
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, May 20, 2009 at 1:13 PM
Love is in the air this summer with Raleigh's newest online women's boutique bevello.
Shopping online can be somewhat of a hassle at times. Will this dress look the same on me as it looks on the girl in the picture? Will it fit right? Bevello.com, which has been up and running since early April, tackles those frustrations and worries head-on.
"People want to shop online but they have a lot of doubt and intimidation and restrictions that keep them from doing so, such as will the dress fit, what will it look like, what will it feel like, is it going to be a different color when you get it," says Mary Gillogly, bevello's "behind-the-scenes girl." "So we take that frustration out and that intimidation factor out as much as possible, so that bevello can be a company that you can trust."
