American Flag 2-Piece ... Swimsuit?

Earlier this week, I posted the one-piece version of this American flag swimsuit and warned that it's not lined so beware of sheer Lycra clinging to your lady parts when wet! But y'all are a bunch of exhibitionists, I think, and have been wearing it for swimming anyway, modesty be damned! But fair warning for this 2-Piece American Flag Swimsuit; it's not lined either! But it's wicked cute, with a star-spangled halter top and high-waisted red and white striped bottoms. Where it to the pool at your own risk! Or stay safe (boring, some might say) and wear it on dry land as a costume for festivals, parades, dancing, or photo shoots.

Delightfully Delightful Sea Creatures Necklace & Earrings

From Anne Koplik Jewelry comes the Delightful Sea Creatures Necklace which features a seahorse (not "horse fish", as I called them when I was small), starfish, a sand dollar with sparkly aurora borealis Swarovski crystals, and a smattering of seed pearls. The antique bronze finish makes it look like an old family heirloom. The pendant hangs on a really cool adjustable double chain -- a gold chain intertwined with a nautical rope-like chain with pearl beads-- at 16" or 18".

We also have the matching Sand Dollar Aurora Borealis Swarovski Crystal Earrings to complete the look. Such a great collection for your breezy, summertime beach ensembles!

American flag romper, so patriotic it hurts!

To be clear right off the bat-- this American Pinup Flag Romper looks like a swimsuit but it is not lined, therefore it gets sheer when it gets wet. So unless you are an exhibitionist and really want to show everyone your mountain majesties and fruited plains, you probably won't want to wear it to the pool. Otherwise, it's a fabulous and sexy base upon which to build a patriotic costume, pinup photo shoot ensemble, or dance outfit for the upcoming 4th of July.

They are hand painted with amazing attention to detail.  Available in Purple Gown, Pink Gown, and Blue Gown. 

These lovely Day of the Dead figures are back in stock--  Red Ballgown and Pink Lady.

Cute Rave Face Masks for totally innocent purposes

I haven't blogged about these Rave Face Masks yet because I wasn't quite sure how to talk about them. Being a total square, I had to do some research to learn what they are for ... and all of the reasons I discovered make me feel awkward. So let's just pretend that they are part of a cute anime nurse costume or something and leave it at that. Good clean fun, yes!

Here are two styles-- Rainbow Face Mask and Neon Pink Heart Face Mask. 

Three Wise Monkeys Skeleton Desktop Sculptures

The Three Wise Monkeys is an ancient visual axiom that comes from Japan with the principle of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil". Its meaning seems to depend on if you're in the east or west. In Asia it relates to being of good mind and action. Here in the cynical west, we tend to associate it with turning a blind eye to evil. But whatever you take from it, these Three Wise Monkeys Skeleton Figures are great daily reminders to do the right thing. Also..... they're just badass. They measure about 2 3/4" tall and come in a set of all three, boxed and ready for gift giving.

Not sure these loafer-inspired high heels would be great for traipsing through snow, but nevertheless these Plaid Schoolgirl Pumps from Bordello Shoes have a sexy Lolita vibe with 5 3/4" heel and concealed platform. Lots of cute details such as the loafer-like embellishments over the toes and laces at the heel.

Ceramic Couture Wedding Band in Baby Pink

I've never been one of those girls that was into diamonds. If a man ever bought me diamonds (not that it's happened, mind you), I would probably be mad that he wasted so much money on it when he could have bought me a car or a camera or a vacation! So when it comes to wedding jewelry, I've never been excited about precious jewelry. (My sweetie and I currently wear darling vintage rings from my mother's first marriage in the early sixties). For those who might be of a similar mind about nuptial jewelry, this Ceramic Couture™ Wedding Band in Baby Pink might be the perfect, affordable alternative. These rings can be engraved with whatever you want. They are made of a high-tech ceramic that is formed with Zirconia crystal and polished on diamond wheels which results in an everlasting shine. These rings look amazing and feel fantastic on your finger. And it's pink, for cryin' out loud!

There are also ethical considerations when it comes to diamonds, and sometimes it's hard to determine if your diamonds are being sourced in an ethical way that isn't exploiting laborers or damaging the Earth -- another reason to consider alternative wedding jewelry!

Made of a super comfortable, stretch nylon lace with 100% cotton gusset. Available in Baby Blue and Black. Note the dainty bow and animal print trim!
