A cucumber cocktail???  Well, don’t mind if we do !!

Since grilling season is here to stay for a spell, we love this new way to tell if your steak is done. 

We think summer sleepwear is imperative. We adore these and this for those hot summer nights.

Do y’all attract bugs as much as we do?? We are dying to try this.  A bug repellant and a perfume in one?!? Count us in!!

When it’s this hot out, no belle wants to sweat in the kitchen…here’s an easy dinner that will delight the tastebuds and still let you enjoy summer.

If you like a BLT, then you’re sure to like this dip.

And a fun little etiquette reminder…belles don’t like to offend…just sayin!!
Enjoy!

You can’t beat this velvety option for defining that lip.

As the temperature and humidity rise, we are less inclined to feel constricted. This is a great alternative. And pretty to boot!

Must. Have. This. Book.

Want sooo bad.

For our denim collection, these and these.

We want to serve cocktails on this.

A great tee.

Cosabella, Easter, Farfetch, gifts, Hanky Panky, Nike, plum Pretty Sugar, soludos, Sophia Webster

Here’s our second installment of all the best Easter gifts for the chickadees on your list. Granted…a basket full of all the usual suspect Easter candies might suffice on Easter morning, but we kinda dig giving the bunny a little nudge to include something a bit more substantial…lasting…useful…and belles just love giving (and receiving) a good gift!!

So…this edition of the “Great Easter Gift Guide” is for the girly-belles (think teens and beyond). Again…get ready to do some clickin’!

First up…for a stylish, yet comfy, evening…morning…and beyond, how about these spring-y pj’s from Plum Pretty Sugar?

Or these from Cosabella…
IMG_2620Cute-n-cozy!

And every belle wants to feel pretty “underneath it all”! We think these will do the trick in a very colorful way…
IMG_2631…from one of our favorites – Hanky Panky.

For a colorful way to put a spring in her step…let her get her kicks with these…
IMG_2652…the Nike Free Training shoe from Amazon

And for the little girly-belle…
IMG_2653 the Nike Kids Free should bring a sunshiny smile!

And for another comfy yet more “dressed” option, how cute are these Soludos Flamingo Espadrilles??
IMG_2619We love!!!

Or for something a bit more fancy…’cause that’s how we tend to roll…we are loving this Sophia Webster Crystal Embellished pump from Farfetch.com
IMG_2637The heels make us think of jellybeans…oh my!!!!

Whew! Stay tuned, belles. There’s more to come! We have accessories and some ideas for the fellas coming your way tomorrow. You’re welcome!

do the world (and yourself) a favor…no more panty lines!!!!

Cosabella, Hanky Panky, Naomi and Nicole, panties, Savvy Greenville, thong

Now that fashion contains a seemingly never-ending selection of spandex, jeggings, and leggings (all of which we embrace…within reason), there seems to be an increase in the dreaded panty line (gasp!).

Now let’s be very clear here…nobody looks good with a panty line! And y’all might not be able to see it on yourselves, but believe us when we tell you that the rest of the world can! The only socially responsible answer is to provide a reasonable solution. Being that belles like choices and have certain, shall we say…preferences, we have three very viable options for you.

The first up is a g-string…there, now that we have said it, we don’t have to feel awkward anymore (not as awkward as panty lines look anyway). Now, this isn’t just any underpinning…we can’t have you chafing, or uncomfortable, or distracted by foreign materials in all the nooks and crannies of your nether regions. We have found the gold standard, nay the platinum standard, of unmentionables. Cosabella makes the g-string to beat all g-strings…the talco g- string.

They are available at cosabella.com and Zappos. Or…if your are a local belle…visit one of our favorite local haunts, Savvy, for a little retail therapy along with your Cosabella purchase.

The second necessity is the Hanky Panky Bare thong. This particular style comes in quite handy if you are wearing anything slinky. Often, even if the fit is perfect, a clingy fabric can show the slightest hint of a line. These keep that from happening.

Purchase yours at NeimanMarcus.

Last, but not least by any means, we have a suggestion for those of you who just can’t “go there”…or for those times when you might prefer a little extra coverage. These are a proper panty, but they are made with no seams or elastic anywhere…and they are incredibly thin. Given those factors, we have found them to be the best panty option to avoid lines.

Naomi and Nicole makes a wonderful edge hipster. Available at Amazon.

Here is what it boils down to, belles. First and foremost, please, we beg of you…on bended knee…to try the Cosabella. It is a life-changer. Just try one pair, we promise you’ll go back for more.

Secondly, we firmly believe there is no one perfect pair that works 100% of the time. Cut, fabric, seasons, coverage, etc…all play factors. And, as much as we wish it were so, we have yet to find the one and only underpinning that we belles must have. All belles need a repertoire…nay, an arsenal…of underpinnings from which to choose. If you’ve covered all the bases, then you’ll be prepared for every situation. And believe us, they will come up, crop up, creep up….so stock up, belles!!
