Selah D’Or
Aspiring Couture is a lovely organization that spotlights up-and-coming designers, one of which is Selah D’Or. Started by Boston designer David Chum, Selah D’Or has beautiful pieces inspired by the female form that are timeless and guaranteed to turn heads. Says Selah D’Or’s bio, “It’s a subdued form of assertion.”
- Selah D’Or Elissa Dress
David Chum was recently interviewed by Aspiring Couture on the topic of quality.
If you look at the pieces, the tailoring is impeccable. It’s all hand sewn by local seamstresses and mostly myself. It’s something that you don’t see a lot in woman’s wear when you go to stores like H&M or Forever 21 or Express. Those places tend to ship stuff out to manufacturers. The turn around time is so fast because those factories cut a lot of corners and use really cheap inexpensive labor and materials. So in turn, the retail prices for the public are LOW, but the quality is poor. This is why clothes from these places fall apart so quickly….or fit so poorly.
- Selah D’Or Pencil Skirt with Side Pockets
- Selar D’Or Lisa Skirt
As you can see, Selah D’Or certainly delivers classic, timeless pieces with a contemporary twist. David Shum sure knows how to make a woman look fabulous.
Could you see yourself in one of Selah D’Or’s pieces? I certainly can…

ModBe Sale – September 2, 3, 4
This morning on the Utah Deal Diva blog, I found some great news! If you live in Utah and want a great deal on clothes, ModBe has just moved locations and has an amazing sale on their samples, discontinued and slightly damaged products.
The sale is happening September 2, 3, 4 at their new location at 1499 W 105 N in Orem, Utah. Apparently the Google Maps directions are incorrect, but one of the Utah Deal Diva’s readers, Liz, said if you take Center Street in Orem west and turn right at Standard Plumbing Supply, you’ll find it.
Happy shopping, ladies!

Summer Essentials: Top 10 Things a Girl’s Gotta Have for Summer
- A killer swimsuit. Every girl wants a swimsuit that flatters her bod that she feels comfortable in. Take some time to try on different suits and make sure it fits and feels right before you take the plunge, so to speak
.
ModBe Zebra Lace-up Tankini Top $38!
- Shades. Besides the Hollywood glamor that a fabulous pair of sunglasses bring, a good pair of shades can protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and prevent you from having to squint. Sunny days will be that much more comfortable and fashionable for you.
- A beach cover-up. A wrap-around skirt or cover-up dress is a summer essential, especially as you’re going to and from the pool or beach. Once the sun goes down, you’ll be glad you brought your cover-up!
Old Navy Cover-Up $24.50
- Great friends. Friends to share your adventures with are essential. Take advantage of the warm weather, grab some friends you haven’t seen in ages and go on a day trip together. Or bust out the grill, have a BBQ and invite the neighborhood!
- Wide-brimmed hat. A wide-brimmed hat can prevent the top of your head, ears and back of your neck from burning in the sun–places that may get forgotten while slathering on the sunscreen. Plus, they look fabulous.
OMO Norma Kamali Swimsuit - you can't tell me this hat isn't fabulous
- Sandals. In most climates, there’s only one time of the year you can enjoy sandals! Even if you’re not a fan of flip flops, there’s plenty of darling sandals that will keep your feet cool and show off your new pedicure.
- Sunscreen. While everyone needs a good dose of Vitamin D daily, when we neglect to protect our skin from the powerful sun, it can result in skin damage and premature aging. Don’t forget your sunblock and you’ll keep that youthful skin longer!
- A good book or magazine. Some of my best summer memories include me, the beach and a good book. Stop by a book store or the library and grab a book for the road.
Sarah's Recommendation: The Alchemist - a magical tale about following your dream
- H2O. Especially in hot and humid environments, your body needs lots of water to keep your body temperature down. Enjoy fruits in season during the summer like strawberries and watermelon–they’re a great source of water, too. Water is a definite summer essential.
- Tunes. There’s something so nostalgic about music. One song can take me back to a wonderful time. Make new memories to your summer soundtrack and you’ll remember the sunshine and good times for years to come whenever you hear that song.
What are your summer essentials?

Horizontal Stripes: Yay or Nay?
If you think about it, horizontal stripes aren’t super flattering. They tend to make the wearer look thicker than they actually are. Recently, though, Hollywood starlets like Cameron Diaz and Michelle Williams, have been seen sporting horizontal stripes — even at the same event! Check out what they wore to the Independent Spirit Awards in February.

What do you think? Can horizontal stripes be flattering? Which dress do you prefer?
I have to say I love Cameron’s look. That said, I love horizontal stripes, especially in red!

Xenotee French Lobster T-Shirt
Do you like lobster? Then you will love this Xenotees French lobster t-shirt!
Lobster T-Shirt $20The lovely French caption reads: “J’ai le goût des homards, qui sont tranquilles, sérieux, savent les secrets de la mer, n’aboient pas… “
In other words:
“I have a liking for lobsters. They are peaceful, serious creatures. They know the secrets of the sea, they don’t bark…”
Says Xenotees, “Supposedly the French poet, Gérard de Nerval, would walk his pet lobster with a ribbon. This was his reasoning for adopting a lobster as opposed to a dog!”
The Lobster shirt is made with an American Apparel Summer shirt — long, soft and lovely.
For every shirt sold, Xenotees donates $1 to Flat Iron Wildcats of Philadelphia, committed to helping the local stray cat population.
Support lobsters, local designers and Flat Iron Wildcats!
