So, as of Tuesday night, we will have officially made it halfway through 2009. (SCARY.) What better way to celebrate this Half Year than to check out some of bevello’s brand new products?!

We’ve got new tops, bottoms, dresses…you name it. We’ve got a bright royal blue v-neck maxi dress by Frenzi, khacki walking shorts by Velvet Heart and the new rouched tanks (by Trinity, another of our lovely independent designers) are to-die-for.

And, literally processed yesterday, this blouse has to be one of my favorite bevello items of all time:

This Light Nude and Gray Jeweled Blouse, by Esley, is perfect for a hot summer day. But what’s more: the jewels add some glam to an ensemble, so you can dress it up or down.

Loving the empire waist and the gray bow in the back — very cute! The circular neckline really flatters as well. It gives you a bit of neckline and shoulder without being risque.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Go to the site and check it all out for yourself. Here, here’s a hotlink: bevello.com. Really, click it. It’s like Christmas!

The September Issue, chronicled

Published on June 26, 2009 in Fashion News. 0 Comments Tags: Anna Wintour, bevello, intern, kelly, R.J. Cutlers, the september issue, UNC, Vogue.

Oh.

My.

God.

It’s really happening. A movie, totally based on the production of the infamous September Issue of Vogue — aka the most important literature you’ll read all year. This is seriously a big deal. The 2007 issue weighed FOUR POUNDS. That’s like… a small kitten. Put together by filmmaker R.J. Cutlers, the film follows the illustrious Vogue team through Fashion Week, trips to Europe, photo shoots, editorial meetings…the works.

And they finally released the trailer. Check it out! (Also note: Anna Wintour sans the scary intimidating glasses. She looks semi-normal! In a completely FABULOUS way, of course.)

Who else is excited for this?!?!! TWO MONTHS AWAY. I’ll be at a midnight showing somewhere, for SURE.

Bevellonians, I ask you: what are your summer wardrobe staples? I ask because as I drove down good ol’ interstate forty today rockin’ my capris, tank top and short sleeved cardigan I think I nearly died of heatstroke. My car thermostat informed me that it was dangerously close to 90 degrees even at 5:00 today, and I don’t think things are letting up.

I’m not a fan of wearing super-short shorts because a) I feel way too exposed and b) they always ride up and are just uncomfortable. Anyone else with me on that one?

Luckily for us, the fashion gods have bestowed upon us the wondrous skirt, a glorious vesture both fashionable and practical — enabling us more modest women to survive a summer day without a pair of denim daisy-dukes riding up where they don’t belong.

Someone must have had the summer in mind when they picked this Sunray Yellow Corduroy Skirt by Flying Tomato, one of our beloved independent designers.

Flowy, free. YELLOW. Doesn’t it just LOOK comfortable? Right now: $25. Seriously? Seriously.

But wait, there’s more!

For a more formal occasion — maybe a date or dinner party — we have this Sunray Yellow Silk Tie-Back Skirt by Hazel, another of our up-and-coming designers. It’s a bit more at $60, but totally worth every dollar. This would look great paired with a dark heather gray!

But for those too nervous to leave behind the shorts, we do have a pair of denim walking shorts by See Thru Soul that run about mid-thigh, so there shall be no riding up!

So cute — on sale for $50!

Forget the booty shorts. Who needs ‘em?

Dear Bevello:

Here are the 3 Items I would add to this darling hippie tunic dress!

Justina Wedge

TRUCK JEANS FIVE-POCKET FLARES

http://tinyurl.com/llyr7p

Ivory Double Hair Braided Hair Wrap from Urban Outfitters

http://tinyurl.com/m52o6b

HOW: The tunic has such an earthy organic look I decided to pair it with some distressed bell bottom flare jeans from Alloy. The flare bottoms are a perfect platform for the hemp and brown wedges from delias. The hair band really puts the look in that flower child hippie catagory! Peace signs are definitely required when you are in this outfit!

WHERE: I see myself in an outdoor music festival in this cute ensemble! No need for layering pieces or jewelry. The adorable lace around the sleeves as well as the embroidered butterflies on the collar make it a no accessories required kind-a-look! Which is great so you won’t have to worry about losing anything small when you kick off those wedges and feel the music!

the joys of swimsuit season

Published on June 22, 2009 in Fashion News and lovefun. 0 Comments Tags: bevello, bikini, body type, boy shorts, Cosmo, Cosmopolitan, intern, kelly, swim.

I hate swimsuit season. Can I get an amen?

I refuse to believe that all women fit four cookie-cutter sizes. Small, Medium, Large or Extra-Large? No, try Small and a half on top, Medium and a third in the middle and Medium and three-fourths on the bottom. Seriously, it just ain’t that simple. And I’m not wild about I-guess-it-kind-of-fits sizes, especially when it means keeping you decent on the beach.

But according to Cosmopolitan, this is where picking the right bathing suit style for your body can make all the difference.

They say wearing a bikini with an embroidered triangle top like this American Eagle beaut can give the upper half of your body a little “umph” where it counts.

They recommend this striped suit for those who want to bring out their curves a bit more. The stripes would draw attentions to the right area, and could make you feel more shapely.

Cosmo suggests this looser-fitting Nautica bikini for those with a bit of belly that they’d like to mask. With a comfortable fit and the bunchy top, this suit looks anything but skin-tight, which can help mask any extra winter weight you might be carrying.

This criss-cross one-piece should also reduce the appearance of belly fat. I personally think it’s super cute and bet it would be really forgiving, yet stylish at the same time.

That one is supposed to bring out the best in your rear. I’m guessing it’s the whole boyshorts thing. Brilliant!

Cosmo says halters like these with sturdy cups are great for busty women. I personally love this DKNY suit anyway, but it looks like it’d really be a nice active-wear bathing suit!

So there you have it — six reasons (and 27 more if you check out the Cosmo article) not to fear swimsuit season. Are you rockin’ a round posterior? Head for the boyshorts. Want to hide that extra weight? Go looser, or buy a suit that criss-crosses fabric. Bigger bust? Go halter.

This just goes to show you that you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort, decency or anything else — especially when it comes to picking out your summer suit.

AAAAAAAAMEN.
