Straight up.

The Bandeau: Summer's best friend. Straight up, this garment is a worthy buy. Much like any other bra, its primary function is support. Secondarily, and still imperatively, this is an object of chic fashion for the real-woman lifestyle. While the Bandeau comes from the lingerie family, its parallel lines resemble the breed of a bathing suit. This resemblance brings feelings of fun and friskiness. But no need to save this piece for the beach for it can accompany nearly any summer setup.

I do.

The veil worn by Kate Middleton at the Royal Wedding was supreme. Its sheer nature produced just enough colour to give a mild sense of suspicion while still providing plenty of room for glow. The dichotomy between revealing and hiding one’s self is truly the essence of a veils elegance. But why confine this apparel to only a wedding or funeral? Take the veil outside of its comfort zone. Let’s make it acceptable for other activities such as dances, social events and cocktail parties. Now if worn casually a veil of a smaller size and reserved colour is suggested. Moral of the story: let your veils down ladies.
