Summer must haves

After a cold and long winter, the summer is always a big welcome for all; the energy that the sun engenders in people and plants is impeccable. The blooming season brings parks to life in a vibrant manner; it makes me want to pick flowers, or just lie down and think of nothing except that my mind like nothing else always seems occupied.

Humans, they work out, they strip down, it is an international given moment to get down to bares without raising hell. Of course, that brings another sort of thing and then there are those allergic to pollen, sneezing and rubbing their eyes so as not to miss out.

Affinitas, an online boutique offering lingerie solutions, wants to be part of the summer story. Whether you are packing for a holiday trip or for a bask under the sun, it is recommendable to give a thought to the underwear.

The summer may be hot, or you on the other hand may be hot. Either way, the attire for the season might be suitable when defined by a seamless, strapless, convertible or travel friendly thongs and bras. If you prefer, you may make the best out of the season with no strings attached.

You may visit Her Room or Lauren Silva for more collections of summer must haves.

Underwear turned into outerwear

An unavoidable circumstances led to the end of one year and the beginning of another. And with an inbuilt nature of striving to be the best of ourselves, most of us made new year resolutions.

Among the wildest, or most ambitious resolutions that were made were humble efforts, wishes, and dreams to more fashionable.

Made by Niki boutique saw the opportunity and took matters into its hands; “turn innerwear into outerwear”. That would obviously get you eyeballed, maybe ogled, perhaps even break some necks and most definitely give you a head start into your year long resolution.

With an ever glamorous and gorgeous collection of dinky clean-edge thongs, boy shorts, bras, high-waist nippers, tank tops and a lot more, the boutique says that you will be nipped in and perfectly poised from boardroom to tavern and there between.

“Slinkies is our most exciting development ever. They make you feel amazing – pert, bouncy and full of fun – they put a spring in your step and make you stand taller. Strutting into a room with the pencil dress on – you know your body looks its absolute hottest, and you’re going to turn heads. There are so many ways to style the garments, you’ll never run out of ideas, and they are so simple and portable – easy to take wherever you go!”

And fortunately enough, there are only two ways to find out exactly how that feat will be achieved. Either ask them or get the garment and do the experiment yourself. For those who are daring, practical and as experimental as scientists, the second option would be the way to go.

Good luck with your quests of all nature. Please drop us some 411 when you find out that which might be of benefit to us. For now, everything remains a luta continua as the faithful and unstoppable clock ticks on.

"Tops the size of a postage stamp"

This summer has perhaps been the most ill-weathered and damp for many but for those who have been lucky to catch up with the sun, have been left tanned and battered in fashion crossfires. And they wonder why.

Well, several authorities have in the recent past challenged the ideal dress code for public pools, parks, streets and beaches. And what is it with the sunbathers doing so indecently? (Don’t ask me..) First came the saggy pants issue in Louisiana, and a while ago, the banning of thongs and bikinis in Utah, just to mention a few.

And now, Helsinki is the latest city to have been caught up in a mishap of the kind after a woman was ‘allegedly’ caught sunbathing in a children’s pool in strings and tops the size of a postage stamp. The words used to describe the incident are strong and if you’d get the picture you’d perhaps ask the lady to cover up. Apparently, a normal bikini is allowed at the pool. It is not clear however, what a ‘normal bikini’ is for this matter. What is normal and how normal can it be?

One thing beats me though; even though the respective authorities are quick to forbid bikinis and all that, they do not know what is the best outfit for a public sunbather leave alone recommending it to any would bes.

A Fashion Poem

We’ve been born fashion, we’re here to stay

We have the flow, we’re here with frays

With a flow to a show, we catwalk with sways

With a know how, some dow, n a show to run, we’re to stay

§

Without strings attached, they run the show with strings and thongs

With strings attached, we suit in stripes and straps

Wake up with the make up, take-away make-up by the drive-in

From pedicures to manicures to ‘womancures’ all while driving

§

Handbags got paint and polish, to brush and to polish

From head to toe, it’s all sparkling, for a dent there is a tow

For a friend or a foe, it’s all for a sparkling show

For a clipped toe, there is an open shoe, with a show
§

With bangles, earrings, necklaces, a ring and bling

With a dangle, a shake, a sway, a click and cling

With a handle, and a chain, and another, am zing

A tattoo, mascara, and a tan, am think, am zinc’d

Global warming is a reality, even in fashion

Global warming a reality, even in fashion
