First off, Norma Kamali, are you taking a kue from the Kardashian krew with the "Kulture" name, here? Secondly, despite the overly kutesy name, we're digging this Norma Kamali Kamali Kulture Striped Shirred Mio One Piece ($74). The retro cut will stay in place when we swim, and the ruching in all the right places, combined with slimming vertical stripes, will give us 1950s bathing beauty figures that wouldn't be out of place in an Esther Williams movie.
You know those mugs with a mustache on the brim? They do not make sense. A mug mustache will end up floating above your nose, not under it where a mustache belongs. You know what else doesn't make sense? The whole mustache trend. You know what does make sense? This Pylones Piggy Nose Mug ($15).
When leopard print from head to toe doesn't cut it anymore, try these Jessica Simpson Rosetta Black Sandals ($34) to achieve leopard print from head to sole.
Oh wow, we can't wait for this event - how much longer until April 2, 1978? If you like retro styling, irony, and exotic colors, check out this Auction tee ($26).
We must not be the only ones who love to drink in the early summer lilac scent. If we were, then there wouldn't be a need for Lilac Soap ($6). Or, at least, we'd get to keep them all to ourselves. But, alas, we'll have to share with the rest of the world. After we suds up with the moisturizing soap, we smell like we've been pruning lilac bushes for the better part of the day, without, of course, any of the backbreaking work that goes along with keeping up a garden.
