The Brain behind the Brand – Bjorn Borg

I am always blogging at length about my love for Miel Sister, the ladies underwear we carry … well of course I am, I wear it!  But I thought it only fair to highlight our equally popular men’s line – Bjorn Borg.  So listen up Gents!

Known for its well-fitting underwear in playful patterns and a bold colourful palette, this company is making waves (& friends *wink wink*) across the globe.  Easily one of the most successful underwear brands in the world, it encapsulates everything the name Bjorn Borg makes you think of; in their own words, ‘Our products are just as long lasting as the memory of the tennis legend Bjorn Borg’s deeds, as breathtaking as his play and as eye-catching as his record.’

Bjorn Borg Factoid – he was one of only FOUR players in the open era to win both Wimbledon & French Open in the same year AND he is the ONLY player to do so in three consecutive years.

So … wanna wear a winner?

Psst … ladies … I love my boyfriend more when he wears these; the fit is amazing! *blushing*

We are so excited to announce the arrival of EMU’s Spring Collection!

EMU is a brand based in Australia that specializes in Merino wool products.  Merino wool regulates body temperature, draws moisture away from the skin, and will not itch like other wools.  It is stretchy, breathable, easy to care for … basically the perfect fabric!

Here are just three of ten pieces in store.

But don’t take our word for it – try it yourself!

Okay okay I know this one is going to be obvious.  But I seriously can not get enough of Miel Sisters underwear!  And now there is a new member of the family to swoon over; introducing my new obsession – The Coco Cami!

This feminine, seamless camisole (with BUILT-IN bra!) is amazingly comfortable and yet sexy.  I have done everything in this beauty and here is why:

The softest lightweight microfiber/spandex/cotton blend, soft enough to sleep in – ✓!
Breathable fabric, wicks away moisture and dries quickly, making is ideal to workout in – ✓!
Combination seamless and flat-seam construction, won’t dig in or bunch-up, offering a sexy look – ✓!

At $45, available in bloth black and white, it has excellent cost-per-wear as you too will LIVE in it!  Enjoy!

Bold prints are back for the spring and summer, and we are so excited to have a few in already to play with!

One of the more unique prints arrived on this Traffic People Ruffle Dress ($110). It is called ink, although it could also be called a classy tie dye.

Look One: Pair this Ruffle Dress with a Dept Fringe Cardigan ($120), Wolf Circus Peace Sign Turquoise and Silver necklace ($35), and Kalos feather earrings ($25) for a boho chic look. It’s so easy, and so comfy!

Look Two: Make your look edgier by pairing the Ruffle Dress with a Supremebeing Vegan Leather Jacket ($113.75) and Studded Waist Belt ($40). For an extra feminine touch, accessorize with Green Swarovski earrings ($39) by Brooklyn Designs.

Let’s play with prints!
