Post-Coachella Daze.

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

OK, bikini-lovers… Now that the Coachella weekends are behind us, we’re going to try our very hardest to get back to regular blogging. Those glorious weekends, full of festival-wear and pool parties, have given us just the right amount and kind of fodder to kick off this week with Monday Madness– (in other words: so. much. good. stuff.)

The weather’s hot and the sun is high and we’ve got brand new arrivals from some of your favorite household names. We’re celebrating Earth Day with the overnight eco-friendly sensation Greenlee Swim. They’re saving the earth one cheeky bikini bottom at a time, and they’ve just dropped two new jaw-dropping bright for summer. We’re re-stocking their classic navy, black and eco-green, but are also adding a true red and sunny yellow to the mix. You’re welcome.

AND, we’re also readying for the hot months ahead with the debut of Bettinis Bikinis (on Molly Brown’s). They, as your probably well know, have already earned their keep on the swimwear scene, but we’ve chosen a select few of our favorite items for you to shop. Classic bohemian-chic inspired, their crochet pieces (i.e. that PONCHO!!) will melt your heart like the summer sun.

Until tomorrow, ladies and lovers,

The Athletic Aesthetic

Thursday, February 14th, 2013

Sporty chic has never been (or looked) better, and we’re liking the streamlined versions that have been showing up as of late.

Scuba inspired colorblocked Neo Bandeau & Geo Hipster and Strap Back & Low Down Bottom both by L*SPACE

It’s nice to see sporty designs that still retain touches of femininity, reiterating once again that sportswear can be as fashionable as it is functional!

Many of our clients have been saying they love to wear this Salt Creek Sweetheart Top while working out, and we love the idea of a bikini top doing double duty! Yoga then the beach! The Leslie Tunic is also great over some tights for a quick jog, then as a basic coverup around the pool– both by VITAMIN A SILVER

Post-Holiday Cheer (and Cheek)!

Wednesday, December 26th, 2012

Hope your holidays were full of rest and relaxation, silly Christmas movies, good-times spent with friends and family, and of course, a little holiday shopping. Shopping BEFORE and FOR the holidays can be a bit stressful (totally fun!) but stressful. POST-holiday shopping, after the madness has died down, is just plain fun, minus the stress. Call us nuts but we love after-Christmas shopping, and this winter season we’re still dreaming of summer, and the cheeky bottoms we’ll be living in…

Even though it offers a little more coverage on the sides, a booty-short always feels… well, a bit cheekier. It’s playful, flirty and obviously flattering.

L: Supermodel Bottom by VITAMINA, R: Mumbai Bottom by ACACIA

Ruching down the back creates a look that’s a bit sexier and more revealing. If you’re not afraid to show a little skin, the famous “scrunch-butt” or ruching is for you! Because these Vitamin A Supermodel bottoms still have thicker side panels, the look is cheeky instead of Brazilian!

4 Fringe Suits!

Friday, December 21st, 2012

Fringe has been extremely popular these last two seasons, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all! This season we’re seeing it on tops, bottoms, one-pieces– in both solids and prints! Sexy, flirty and fun, here are four fringed suits that we absolutely love.

Sheer Genius.

Wednesday, June 13th, 2012

When shopping for a great coverup, it’s sometimes nice to find one that allows you to show off your summer bikini bod AND the favorite bikini you’re wearing underneath it. We love the idea that covering up doesn’t mean you have to hide it all away, and these pretty dresses are as tasteful as they are sexy!

Fish Net Dress by SAUVAGE (also available in black)

Depending on your style and your what you’re dressing for, this dress can be worn in various different ways. You can pair it with a navy or red suit and go the nautical route or with a chic white, beige or nude bikini and go for the summer-tonal look. Either way, this dress is a winner.

From left to right: LA Coverup by DESPI, Cozumel Coverup by LETARTE

The detailed floral beading and metal & fringe embellishments on these coverups save them from looking too “bare-all.” They’re light-weight and versatile in their black and white, so they’re perfect for pairing all your swimwear to and perfect for hot hot summer, day or night.

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

Left to right: St Barths by diNeila, Pearl City by Agua Bendita

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

Left to right: Splendid Treasure by Maaji, Fantasy by Cia Maritima

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!

XOXO Molly

Buy Designer Resort Wear to Flaunt Sexy Curves

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Designer resort wear retailed at Molly Brown’s store pays special attention to contours and curves it seems. So to all women who were waiting until now to drape their curves in perfection, start splurging! Curvy figure does not mean that you are over-sized. In fact a good body shape is curvaceous! Just show them off in the right kind of swimwear.

Don’t hide those contours behind those ill-fitting cover-ups. Designer swimwear store has excellent collection of swimwear bikinis  guaranteeing to make you look your curvy best.

One-piece swimwear is a very good option for curvy women as it gives more coverage and flatters at the right places. Also, you can keep the torso area in net or a more satiny fabric to distract where and however you want to.

Keep the necklines of the swimwear piece low and preferably V-shape. Don’t tighten yourself up till the neck. All the charm and sensuality will turn into a fashion-fiasco. Do the same with cover-up and beach dresses. Keep their neck lines plunging and deep. That is how you’ll swing the crowd to your curvy moves!

Swimwear Cover-Ups for Curvaceous Figures
If you are still a bit apprehensive to be ‘totally-out-there’, then cover ups are not a bad option. However rightly cut and created cover up dresses is what you should be looking at/ for. Appealing and accentuating cover-ups and beach dresses for curvaceous figures are easily available. Molly Brown’s carries some of the best cover up dresses there are. Another important tip: Curvy women should go for longer beach dresses, if thighs are an issue. If you like to flaunt what you have, wear any designer cover-up in your own size.

Also remember, a cover-up dress is supposed to be a little loosely fitted. It should not be body hugging and in case of a curvaceous figure, it should never dig into your skin. You can also go for fuller and rounder prints in case you’re really conscious (read anxious) of those sexy curves.

Now you know the secret to look sensual yet mesmerizing in whatever size you are. So step out and enjoy the summer. It’s beach time! And the Molly Brown’s annual 50% discount is applicable on cover ups and beach dresses too.
