Party Hardy: Zinke Intimates Swim 2012 Presentation!

I had the pleasure of attending the Zinke Intimates swimwear presentation the other night, and it was fantastic. The vibrant & playful collection of bathing suits and coverups was styled with gorgeous Loeffler Randall shoes and elegantly edgy jewelry by Sandy Hyun. Man, I can't wait for summer.

Beautiful lookbooks with hand painted details by Jessie Zinke herself!

The ensemble. Cool, color-poppin' chic. 

Instantly picked out my favorite look: #9. Endless Summer crop, Starboard bustier in lemonade, Kristen high waist brief in popsicle pink. I can't wait to rock that one. Also loved her gold triangle earrings, which I am ordering riiight after I write this.

To see a few more of the photos I took, take a look at the Pretty Little Underthings Facebook page! xo

Lingerie Inspirations at Morgan Carper's S/S 2012 Presentation

First off, HAPPY PEPERO DAY! If you don't know what Pepero is, hasten to your nearest bodega or Asian grocer and pick up these tasty chocolate-covered sesame sticks (or read this Wikipedia entry). You'll notice that I posted this at 11:11am today.

Sooo... I've been holding onto these photos since Morgan Carper's gorgeous S/S 2012 presentation a few months ago, mostly because they were so pretty and I didn't want to share. I know, I know, bad blogger. *hand smack*

I had never seen Morgan Carper's pieces in person, and I really loved the movement of some of her looks, like the leather-trimmed fringe skirt in the first photo, and the way the white dress in center of the second photo drapes and flows. I also got so much inspiration for styling intimates as ready-to-wear after this, so thank you *hat tip*. 

Hope y'all enjoy these few photos before you start your weekend. Have an amazing one! xoxo
