Do you have a cute swimsuit?

Anthropology2

Sorry, this post is just for girls.  If you are one, probably you are watching catalogs and stores to find a perfect swimsuit for you.  And that means a cute one, that make you look fantastic.   That is usually very hard to find, because we don't want the most common model, or the typical color that everybody will wear.  That's why when I saw this beauties,  finally I thought on you ;)

These swimsuits are from Anthropology.  They are not very cheap, but sometimes when you find something special you deserve to spend a little more.   Well at the end you will decide... this is just my fashion advise.

I love the vintage style of it!

More Buenos Aires

If you're still in Buenos Aires since my last post, you probably had already gone to Palermo. Among other lovely design shops at Palermo, you can find "Sopa de Principe", an Argentine dolls and accessories factory were everything is made of soft fabric and a lot of creativity. Monsters, princesses and pets wait sitting inside big fruit boxes.

Created by Verónica Longoni, the pieces try to bring back the spirit of home made toys, very simple and technology free.

Impulse Seattle

Willow dress, $754

I have fallen in love with a clothing boutique in Seattle, Washington called Impulse. The clothes they carry are beautiful, mostly practical and a few fanciful. However, I think all of the lines they carry share a similar aesthetic of  being luxuriant, comfortable, modern, and extremely wearable.

They carry international lines such as Isabel Marant, APC, Willow, United Bamboo, Plesner, Nomia, Rachel Comey and others that are extremely easy to wear while still being stylish and sometimes extremely innovative, such as their sweaters by  Junya Watanabe and Future Classic.

In my opinion, most of their selected designs remind me of the attractive elegance of early American clothing designer Claire McCardell. If there is a designer that created attractive, comfortable, and practical sportswear for women, then it was her. From her suits to her sundresses, I could see myself wearing everything she ever created. Even the few remaining copies of the patterns she created for McCall's Patterns are going for $175 on eBay and the like.

Impulse also maintains a Flickr group showing their merchandise.

Go there. I dare you.

Extra: Another company that shares the aesthetic but is not carried by Impulse is Lyell. I just couldn't leave them out so you can find their designs here.
