These vintage inspired suits are absolutely gorgeous and made in NYC of comfy and durable stretchable cotton ~ how cool is that? What is more, since this Zelda Sweetwater swimsuit is 100% cotton, it can double as a bustier... It even has a back zip and hook and eye closure. CC plans on wearing it for summer evening cocktails with a flirty mini! Shop here.CC is tagging all of her Fellow Fashionistas; can’t wait to hear your 6 Things, darlings!

Happy sunny weekend to you, CC!
(BTW.. it´s raining here ;)
LOOVE these Chloé anthracite raised leaf boots... AWESOME!!!
Hugs from..
me ;)
vintage bathing suits are so hot! They're sexier than a bikini (in my opinion) because they give such a lovely shape to the body.
I just love this entry so much! The bathing suit shots, especially, are so good they make me want to cry. And the women on Mad Men (not to mention the oh-so-sexy Don Draper and Roger Sterling)??? Stop the insanity, please. I must tell you, I think we may have been separated at birth :)
XOX,
Brandon
