Ecclectic, Fantastic and Out of This World!

Monday, May 14th, 2012

We’ve always been entranced by the way Maaji Swimwear matches up such seemingly contrasting patterns with such ease. The result is wonderfully whimsical and evokes an underwater dreamland. Which is exactly where we feel like we live when wearing Maaji, and we LOVE it! Marrying quality swimwear fabrics with an eye for unique design, the Maaji spring/summer collection is both breath-taking and eye-catching!

With the scuba-inspired trends hitting runways and stores and streets all around the world, there’s no reason for the industry from which it originated to miss out, and Maaji does neoprene with major style.

Fit Guide: Tops II

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

Yes, tops again. But this time we’re focusing on what can be done to enhance a not-so-full bust. The options might seem limited, but doors open once you know what you’re looking for, so here are some easy style tips to think about when looking to find a flattering top for a smaller chest:

1. The Bandeau – Natural Accenting or Sleek and Chic

Left to right: Cartagena Bandeau by Pily Q, St Thomas Bandeau by Mikoh

Far too often we hear fit specialists tell smaller busted women to ex-communicate the mere thought of trying to wear a bandeau, but we are full believers that as long as the bandeau top fits correctly, it can be flattering. The balconette top at the left is totally wearable, and the three key factors why are: 1. the molded cups will accentuate your natural curves, 2. the sweet heart-shaped neckline gives the illusion of a fuller bust, and 3. it actually has a built in underwire AND pushup structure!

The strappy taupe bandeau just works. No really, it does, and the fact that you have a smaller bust actually works to your advantage here! The style is unorthodox – cut straight across – but we find that many that are hesitant to try it on end up falling in love. The material is ultra soft and the horizontal lines of the cut draw the eye across, creating a fuller look. Let’s be honest though, while the top doesn’t add too much size-wise, we think the look is flattering nonetheless: sleek, chic and model-esque!

2. Details that Add Body

Subtle (or not so subtle) details like a ruffle or floral applique can do a lot to add body, as evidenced above. If you’re looking for a more traditional ruffled bikini, this minty green one and cream-colored one also work under the same principle!

3. Bold and Charming Prints

Patterned tops really draw the eye upward, and can be extra helpful when paired with a solid neutral bottom. The fixed band on the Maaji top lifts and pulls together to create cleavage while the strategically placed stripes create the illusion of a fuller bust. The solid piping on the green top outlines your natural shape and the classic triangle styling gives you just the right amount of fabric to do so.

The idea is to not overwhelm a small frame with too much material. Most of the time with a smaller bust, the hardest part in choosing a top is getting the right size.  As a general (but not completely strict) rule, stay away from thicker halter tops, the extra fabric adds too much where there is none and can actually make you look smaller. And when trying tops with molded cups, bring your size AND one size smaller to the fitting room, a lot of the time tops with molded cups run slightly larger than normal and these tops work best when they fit snugly!

Maaji Cynara Bikini – A Motley Beauty

Maaji Cynara

Maaji Cynara

Maaji’s Cynara is a girly temptation that will melt your heart even at a cursory glance! This elegant yet outdoorsy bikini features stripes complemented by a beautiful motley print. If Maaji swimwear had to give the brand a face then the Cynara swimsuit may be it! Just like the flower this bikini swimsuit is striking and sui generis – one of its kind!

Capturing the Maaji designers’ (Manuela and Amalia Sierra) penchant for creativity and probably their academic impulse (both of them are business graduates); this sweet n’ sexy bikini is a unique blend of high-end styling (black and white stripes) and a free play of imagination (melange of colorful prints).

So the classic triangle bikini top has black and white stripes on the triangle, motley colorful print on the halter straps and a triple-layered pink scalloped trim at the hem! The trim of the Cynara bikini is so cute that it gives the whole swimsuit an ultra-feminine and chic appeal!

The bikini bottom provides Brazilian coverage cut in hipster style. The hipster style bottom features the same mosaic print as the neck straps coupled with striped side panels to complete the all-in-all look!

For a complete smashing look on the beach, you just can’t miss the…

2010 swimwear collection at Molly Brown’s (http://www.mollybrownsswimwear.com/) now features Maaji and Kirsti Grinna Collection. The new additions – Kirsti Grinna Collection and Maaji – to the 2010 swimwear inventory at the designer swimwear retailer can be viewed at: http://mollybrownsswimwear.com/cgi-bin/imageshell/csvread.pl?Type=Swimwear&Designer=KirstiGrinna&order_by=ID&order=123 and
http://mollybrownsswimwear.com/cgi-bin/imageshell/csvread.pl?Type=Swimwear&Designer=Maaji&order_by=ID&order=123, respectively.

Molly Brown’s Swimwear store is also offering Free Ground Shipping on any purchase of $100 or more. The Free Ground Shipping offer has been announced specially for spring break.

Chic swimsuits and one-pieces by the Colombian swimsuit designer, Maaji and high-end swimsuit bikinis by Kirsti Grinna Collection can now be purchased at the leading women’s swimwear and resort beachwear store. Inspired by nature and botanicals the 2010 Maaji swimsuits line available at Molly Brown’s presents floral patterns, unconventional colors and cuts (Brazilian and hipster styles), ruffles and much more. Maaji bikinis can be pre-ordered at Molly Brown’s.

Kirsti Grinna Collection bikinis and swimsuits offering a direct contrast to Maaji, are a stylish melange of luxury, modern, urbane and sophisticated cuts and designs. Kirsti Grinna, daughter of a well known swimwear designer Tara Grinna, debuted with the controversial yet highly successful KGB (Kirsti Grinna Bikinis) label. However, Kirsti Grinna Collection, launched after the KGB and now on offer at Molly Brown’s features less kitsch and more luxe swimsuit designs and cuts.

Donna Allen, owner of the swimwear store, while introducing Maaji and Kirsti Grinna said, “Molly Brown’s is proud to offer swimwear sensations Maaji and Kirsti Grinna. Both the labels define bikini fashion in their own rights. If one carries the all natural, arty and ultra feminine appeal then the other is an edgy, bold and irresistibly luxurious collection. Women will really have a hard time deciding which one to choose!”

Kirsti Grinna swimsuits and bikinis are made in U.S from Italian fabrics. High-end and modern, the highlight of the collection is the use of hardware and lining. Maaji on the other hand is an internationally renowned bikini label with the women’s swimwear being found in countries as far as England, Italy, Aruba, Australia and many more.

“Both Maaji and Kirsti Grinna fit perfectly with Molly Brown’s theme for 2010 swimwear which screams of sexy, unconventional, daring, stunning, unusual and high-end. So if being different is your mantra for the season, then Molly Brown’s has got you covered! Other designers pouring in their best and latest at the store are Luli Fama, L*Space, Despi and many more. Enjoy the sun, beaches, breezes and waves in full-of-summer bikinis from Molly Brown’s!”, concluded Donna

Bikinis from both Maaji and Kirsti Grinna Collection have been featured in the Sports Illustrated magazine. Apart from Maaji and Kirsti Grinna two other new designers have also be added to the inventory at Molly Brown’s – Tori Praver and Zimmermann swimwear.

Free Ground Shipping offer is valid for any purchase of $100 or more. The Maaji swimwear collection can be reached at: http://mollybrownsswimwear.com/cgibin/imageshell/csvread.pl?Type=Swimwear&Designer=Maaji&order_by=ID&order=123
