Nicolita Intern Alert: Applique, Gather, Hem, Stitch...

Yeah, you guessed it, sewing terminology!
For all you aspiring designers out there (Like Nicolita over 7 years ago), knowing how to sew is a must. And yes, knowing the terminology is highly recommended. As I blew the dust off of a long forgotten yet beloved site of mine, DailyCandy, I came across a posting perfect for you crafty and creative folks. If you don't own a sewing machine, Honfleur Home’s Sewing Cafe is your matchmaker. This East Coast cafe provides sewing machines by the hour along with a variety of fabrics and notions that are available for purchase in store. The convenience and availability all in one store could make you drool.

Nicolita's Designer, Nicole Di Rocco, started the brand by sewing on her Grandmother's Vintage Singer sewing machine. Just think, if you put your creativity and passion to the test, you can become just like Nicolita! 'Jet-setting the world and falling in love along the way!'

Nicolita Intern Alert: Chic Romper

Rompers are light and loose-fitting thus perfect for the summer. However, one con about rompers is that they tend to come in one color, making the wearer look like a piece of fabric if not worn properly. Height is one crucial element that affects the wearer to look cute like the models in the picture. Browsing through shopbop.com I came across a chic romper that will make you look like a model. Sunner's Florent Romper gives your body proportion in all the right places. This is a two-tone woven romper with ruffle trim at split-V neck and double-button closure at front. Pleated banding and ruching at waist.

And it just so happens to be an editor's pick. Great minds think alike. I recommend a chic Knotty Nicolita bikini to go perfectly with the romper. The Knotty Nicolita Tube Top has a seamless knot that creates and enhances a heart-shaped bust line. Side boning and removable pads gives added support and lift as well. Front spaghetti strap neck tie is also removable. The Knotty Nicolita Bottoms is one-of-a-kind and creates a flattering heart-shaped backside. Reversible elastic on the waist creates a smooth look. Bottom is cut hipster style, creating an elongated torso.

Nicolita Intern Alert: Refresh yourself with...

...Nicolita's Limonada bikini and a watermelon! Eating watermelon on a hot summer day is heavenly. You can also try grilling watermelon slices. According to Recipe Girl, watermelon caramelizes ever so slightly when it's briefly grilled. Who knew? And combining grilled watermelon slices with goat cheese make your taste buds go wild. Try this Grilled Watermelon Salad from The Recipe Girl.

After quenching your thirst, refresh your bod with the Limonada Ruffled Triangle Bra Bikini. This flirty ruffled bra creatively enhances every size and is made in white tricot with yellow contrast string ties and yellow merrow edging on ruffles.

Totally quench-worthy.

Nicolita Intern Alert: First Impression

We all know that a first impression is a lasting impression. I have created a simple equation of what makes a lasting impression.

Face + Body = Lasting Impression

The face is one of the most important parts of the body. It is highly visible and therefore must be taken care of. Eyebrows are one part that people seem to take for granted. Eyebrows help to shape your face and accentuate some features. By not tidying up your eyebrows, you may be highlighting some blemishes. Learn how to shape your eyebrows from About.com by clicking here.

The body is the second part in making a good lasting impression. I believe that finding the right bathing suit is more challenging than finding the right pair of jeans. Bikinis can be found at Nicolita Designer Swimwear. These bikinis are fun, flirty and sexy. Most importantly, they are flattering.

Nicolita Intern Alert: Versatile Top

I came across this versatile top at pinkice.com. The Lopsided Dye Top can be worn at the beach (as shown in picture) or during the day/night. This one-of-a-kind top is cut in a unique way, lopsided with a round neck line and tie dye design. The top is loose and drapey, giving a flowy look, but is tighter at the waist creating a figure-flattering form.

This edgy top can be uniquely paired with Nicolita's Rosita Bandeau O Ring Bikini Bra and the Rosita Scrunch Bum with O-Rings Bikini Bottom. Nicolita's famous scrunch bum bottoms become adjustable with the addition of the O-Rings. The Rosita scrunch bum still features the Nicolita heart shape backside that is created with shearing in the middle. Gold beads at the end of the spaghetti add a finish touch.

So go and grab these items! The style of the Nicolita Rosita bikini and the edgy top work well together and can be worn during the day and night!
