Quite adore these pretty floral patterns that remind me of spring blossoms on the English countryside . . . florals seem to exude a relaxed charm, as if staying in a quaint little cottage somewhere impossibly romantic . . .

still trying to figure out what to use it for . . .

We discovered these swimwear and lingerie shots from the latest edition of Harper's Bazaar Australia (thanks to the Pipeline) and were so pleased to see model Crystal Renn! Crystal is featured in this spread by Luis Sanchis (all images except the last picture) and the results are stunning! Not only are these pictures so beautiful, but it also proves that beauty comes in all sizes!

It's the first day of May and the weekend! Excited about the Spring sunshine, open-toed shoes!, and the luxury of a lazy Sunday morning . . .

Have a beautiful, beautiful weekend, everyone!

We just received a wonderful Spring shipment from Myla, filled with several amazing and naughty styles! We typically don't do too many risque looks at our store, but we just couldn't resist with this collection. To see the full range, visit our website. It's the first time we actually had to censor our images (we just felt compelled to do so) because of the various peek-a-boo bralettes and the gorgeous Amelie 1/4 cup bra. But breast censors aside, these new pieces are killer!
