When it comes to wardrobe staples like a blazer, don’t be afraid to spend a little more for a great tailored fit. This is an investment piece you’ll wear time and time again. This season bypass plain old black and go for a cream or khaki color. Neutrals are right on-trend and will look ever so chic paired with light tones like white and blush.

For a look that’s straight out of my personal style book, pair your boyfriend blazer with a simple white tank and shorts, and a neutral snakeskin heel. Let your accessories do the talking with a pretty blush bag and oversized lucite necklace.

MIAMI – July 9, 2010 — Rachel Lym will launch her latest swimwear collection at SwimShow 2011 to be held July 17 – 20 at the Miami Beach Convention Center to anxiously awaiting clients and collectors.

The collection is where modern art aligns with sophistication, adorning women stylishly with each design created to flatter and compliment the woman’s body. Hard cup tops support and enhance the bustline, while the bottoms are carefully crafted to accentuate the woman’s curves, with moderate coverage.

The mix and match collection is inspired by pop art and includes reversible styles for 100 different ways to wear the collection. “Customization is a very important component in fashion,” said Rachel. “It’s great to have a piece that you can wear over and over and it looks like a different swimsuit each time.”

Rachel Lym launched her eponymous line in 2006 with customized pieces for each of her clients. 
A graduate of The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, she received necessary skills to make her masterpieces come alive through luxurious imported lycra from Spain and Italy. Rachel hand selects all materials to ensure the finest quality for each piece.

1) What is the “back-story” of your line? How did Pink B Couture come about?

Well I started designing clothing for myself back in high school, my friends would see the clothing or notebook I designed and started asking me to cover their notebooks to match the glitter faux fur that I had on mine or design clothing for them such as prom dresses, tops etc back then I was just playing around or so I thought but going into 2008 I just got a little whim, took off from there and haven’t stopped since.

I totally agree that both fashion and life is art, other forms of art that I like to express myself through is home designing such as painting old furniture or crafting old, worn in furniture that I find on the street. I sorta tilt my head to the side when I see an old table or something and I am like hmmmm I know what I can do to this then Walllaaaa! When friends or family ask “Hey where did you get that from” then I go into my lil story they sorta look at me like WHAT?! in some form of shock… thats art.

A Pink B Couture chick is artsy, creative with a stylish and fun retro vibe, many of my of my consumers are late teen to mid thirtys women generally speaking. I believe a woman that likes to have a piece of clothing that is all her own or truly original or comes in limited quanites so you wont see everyone in town wearing the same thing when you hit the town. I think a woman that likes a subtle wow factor in her attire and likes very wearable couture is truly what a Pink B Couture woman is all about.

below>***Model: Erin, MUA: Tasheba, Hair Stylist: Nicole, Photographer: J.Aristotle<

Pink B Couture has been featured as a semifinalist for Project Runway season 6, Austin Fashion Week Awards Rising Star Top 4 nominee, Sola Boutique Trunk Show, News 8 Austin, Austin Statesman. America’s Next Top Model season 12 contest London (Lauren) Levi has modeled Pink B Couture although I would love to have more celebrities in Pink B Couture which is something I look forward to seeing in ther near future, to really get my line out there for many women around the world to own a Pink B design would be nice!

I get asked all the time “Where can I find more of your designs?”, so people can definately look forward to seeing more Pink B Couture in a number of boutiques across the U.S. Other projects I am working on are setting up charitable work with charities one catered to children and the other in support of U.S troops such as USO, I’m a military spouse so that is a given that I will do what I can for support and I have been given so much in life that I want to give a little in return…

Beach: Thongs
No, not the kind in your boudoir

I have been know to parade around everywhere in 5-inchers (yes, even at the supermarket!) but sometimes you just need something practical. Beach sandals should be durable, but always cute! An alternative to the boring old flip-flop? The ‘Fit’ by Havaianas is an adorable rubber slingback thong and comes in a rainbow of colors.  At just $28, get a pair to match each of your bikinis.

Brunch: Gladiators
Sparta never looked this good

Yep, they’re still around and better than ever. Gladiator sandals are gracing the displays of every shoe shop and department store window.  This summer there is nothing more chic for your feet. Splurge on a pair in a neutral tone— you’ll keep reaching for them time and time again. Try BCBG’s ‘Irmah’ sandal, $111 at bluefly.com.

Bar: Wedges
A step up on the competition

Tall and chunky meet to make the perfect, sexy summer shoe. From jeans and leggings, to sundresses and shorts, a wedge complements any look and makes your legs worthy of a double take. Bebe makes some of the fiercest shoes, and their summery espadrille-style denim wedge is no exception. Pick your poision–‘Steffi’ is available in black, white or traditional blue denim,  $114.95 from zappos.com.

Where are you originally from? Your nationality?

I’m originally from Bangkok, Thailand.

What prompted your interests in becoming a model?

My husband thought i was a dummy for not modeling so i gave it a try and I’m having lots of fun doing it. I feel that i can be expressive and create some beautiful images.

What regions of the world to you do the majority of your fashion modeling work?

My fashion modeling works mainly have been created in Miami, although the photographers i had been working with were from many countries.

Have you done other types of modeling? Runway? Catalog? Parts?

I had a few casting jobs on a television show in United States and I was a promotional model for events in Thailand.

If you’ve done some mainstream fashion / advertising campaigns, which one did you have the most fun working on?

I’ve only had the opportunity in Thailand but I haven’t had the chance to do any in the United States as of yet but hopefully soon.

What do you enjoy most about your work?

I enjoy the energy in front of the camera. Every time I have a photo shoot I always learn something new. I love when I see that smile from the photographer that says we got it!

What do you dislike the most?

This may sound funny, but I really dislike it when I run out of my wardrobe! Also, when there is no music playing at the shoot.

If you had to describe yourself as model in three words, which words would you choose? Why?

Determined, sophisticated and grateful. Determined to put all of my energy and creativity towards each particular shoot to achieve the best results possible. I try to achieve a sophisticated look so that people get the right idea of who i am plus I also try to add a little of my fun personality in there. Finally I’m grateful for every opportunity and believe that everything happens for a reason, so I always try my best. I also respect the photographer’s time and appreciate the chance to shoot.

Remind our readers how you came to learn about FASHIFY?

I found out about it through a very talented and creative photographer named Aristotle. As you can see from the photos. D

If you could have a superpower, or combination of many superpowers, which power(s) would you choose?

I wish I had the love and peace super touch power. Where i could touch any angry person and change they’re mind from angry to super happy and relaxed.

What are some of your future goals or ambitions?

My main goal is to definitely get a master degree MBA. I have new goals every 2 or 3 years, once I have achieved the targeted goal. What ever I do I always make sure that I don’t lose track of the goals I have aimed for.

Your favorite photographer? What’s his/her link? Why?

I have 2 favorite photographers. The first one is Aristotle, http://www.modelmayhem.com/1297599. He has his own style that I notice straightway and i love his use of natural lighting. His work is edgy, soft, strong, and sexy at the same time. I feel like we can create awesome photos any time we shoot. The second photographer is Lyall Aston, http://www.lyallastonphoto.com/. He can communicate with models very well. His work is just amazing. He brings the best out of any model.

Your favorite high-fashion model? What’s his/her link? Why?

Of course Kate Moss, she is THE model. Her poses always seem natural. She makes magazines look alive. I just love her gorgeous look.

Name an up-an-coming model who has potential, progress, or development that excites you?

Honestly, I don’t really have an up-an-coming model that excites me. I think every model has the potential to develop if she has the right look and attitude.

What’s your Favorite pair of shoes?

My black ankle boots from Aldo. ) They are comfy and add a little sexy look to my summer outfits.

Where can FASHIFY readers find more of your work? (URLs, Links, Galleries, etc)
