Beach Bunny Swimwear

OC native Angela Chittenden has made the über successful leap from swimwear model to swimwear designer with her Beach Bunny line, which graces the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue this year. Many of the suits are lingerie-inspired, while others, like this Lyin’ Eyes suit in blue, grab attention with bold patterns and heat-resistant copper-toned beads. Jessica Simpson, Salma Hayek and Eva Longoria, who owns over 20 suits, are huge fans. www.beachbunnyswimwear.com

Size Doesn’t Matter

If you have felt, like many bust-challenged women, that the lingerie industry has left you out to dry, there is no more reason to fear, for Itty Bitty Bra is here! Developed by Irvine resident Jane Hodgdon, the Itty Bitty Bra is designed specifically for the woman with AA, A or B cup size who wants undergarments that are stylish, but also functional. Specially developed cups, a four-hook back closure, and a padded underwire all keep Itty Bitty Bras from gapping, slipping or puckering. The bras are available in nude, black, white, pink, and patterns like polka dots and leopard print. Matching panties and camisoles offer the same comfort and affordable style. And while enhancing cleavage isn’t necessarily the objective, Hodgdon says that she’s received several reports to that effect. www.ittybittybra.com

Petal Pusher

Wobbly perches, numb pinkie toes… ah, the lengths women will go for that elongated leg a great pair of stilettos can create. Now you can make that sizzling pair of Jimmy Choo’s comfortable with Foot Petals, the original designer foot cushions created by Orange County native Tina Aldatz Norris. Flower-shaped and attractively colored, the Tip Toe cushions attach to the area of the shoe at the ball of the foot, preventing feet from sliding forward and toes from hanging over. Killer Kushionz run the length of the entire shoe for ultimate comfort, while Amazing Arches give padded support for flat feet. So go on, girl, don’t let a mere five-inch heel stand in the way of true love! www.footpetals.com
