Behind every great photo is an even GREATER Assistant

I love being able to post to my Facebook wall that I am on location at our swimsuit photo suit.  Sounds so awesome and glamorous doesn't it?  Like I'm the talented photographer, or even better yet...one of the gorgeous swimsuit models.  I'll let you in on a little secret....it's really not glamorous at all!  Take this photo for example:           ----------->
Such a beautiful shot.  She looks like she's been strolling along in the water and just decided to sit and rest for a second. In reality, I am standing waist deep in (quite) cold water in a SKIRT about a foot away holding a shading thing-y to get that lighting just so:

<------------Of course I'm just outside the photo, right here.  Me, the Unseen Hero.

Here's another example:           ------------------->
Everyone goes strolling along on top of a HUGE rock in 4-inch heels, right?   The photographer, who has a great eye for background details, thought it would be a tremendous idea to have her pose on the top of a boulder that was about 6 feet tall.  In a dress.  In heels.  He's a guy, right?  What does he know about the logistics of balancing on a boulder in stilettos?  What can't be seen in this photo is me, standing below with my arms literally ready to catch her, or help her keep her balance so she wouldn't come tumbling off the rock.  Hold hands.... balance....let go.....pose.....snap the photo!  She was such a professional.  But it couldn't have been done with out me, the assistant. 

So I am giving myself a pat on the back and much deserved (I think!) kudos for a job well done (and to be honest, I loved every minute of it!)  Vogue Magazine, here I come :)

Studio Five Segment

When we were invited to do a segment on KSL's Studio Five, we were more than thrilled!  This gave us an opportunity to formally introduce our new 2011 Divinita Sole Swimwear line.  Chantelle, Diviine Modestee's owner and designer, brought several "real people" models to show which swimsuit styles best suit which body type.  Pear shape, boy shape, hourglass...even maternity! There is a style of Divinita Sole swimwear that best suits you!  Watch the segment below courtesy of KSL:

Thank you so much KSL for having us on your show!  Read the article here: KSL Studio Five and find a coupon code for your online order.  Enjoy!

Dive into Divinita Sole Swimwear

Our new 2011 Swimwear line is in the house!  You can see all the new styles, prints and colors at:

-------> Divinita Sole Swim by Diviine ModesTee <-------  

One of the new colors that we are very excited about this year is black.  Our customers (you!) have been requesting black for a while now and we are happy to oblige!  We've done one design in solid, classic black is our Flounce Halter shown on the right.  This new halter design has full-body ruching, great for camouflaging.  We've got this halter in the black or also in a vibrant turquoise.  There are, of course, matching black bottoms and black swimskirts.

We have a new bikini bottom to introduce this year as well...the Ruched Side Bikini.  I have a crush on this new bikini, it is just that cute!  The height on the stomach is just right, the ruching on the side is flattering and also draws attention AWAY from the lower belly.  It's on the left in Berry Pink with another new design for 2011, the Double Ruffle Halter in Plaid. 

We are proud of our swimwear.  Why? Many reasons, but among them:
*All our fabric patterns our designed by us and created especially for us.  You won't find these same prints anywhere else! 
*Our swimwear is fully-lined, front AND back.  The full lining helps in a couple of ways: it keeps the top from rolling up, that extra layer ensures that others won't see every little lump and bump of *coughcellulitecough* AND ensures that your swimsuit will never be see-thru.  In designing swimwear, we really put the extra effort in making sure that our swimsuits are just that much better than the rest.

Warehouse Sidewalk Sale

We've extended our Sidewalk Sale through this weekend. Come see us!

Diviine Deal-MaKennzie

I'm really excited about this week's Diviine Deal because it's the FIRST of our new dress line that we have offered in a Diviine Deal!  This week the MaKennzie is on sale for only $45.99.  This is a great dress that is normally $75.  Total bargain! 

MaKennzie in Black/White

One of our customers had this to say about her MaKennzie Dress:
..."this is the PERFECT dress for a dance, or special occasion. Everytime I wear it I get so many compliments! I love the fit, I love the tule and I love the design. I am a LG size but I honestly look a size smaller in this dress. I don't know if it is the pattern, but somehow this dress made me feel incredible."

MaKennzie in Brown/Green

 This dress comes in White/Black and Brown/Green floral print with coordinating sash and tulle underskirt.  The fitted bodice and the a-line shaped skirt make it so very flattering!  If you want to take advantage of this great deal, just go to Sweet Innocence Dresses by Diviine ModesTee and use the coupon code: MAKENNZIE.  Also, keep an eye to your emails...more Diviine Deals to come!

Sale! Sale! Sale!

Tasha and I have been busy in the warehouse getting ready for our Warehouse Sidewalk Sale this weekend.  Preparing for a Warehouse Sale takes a ton of work...moving merchandise forward in the warehouse, pricing stuff, hanging dresses and swimwear on racks...it's crazy, but SO worth it.  Our company can move product and our customers get the benefit of great bargains.  Items added to our Warehouse Sale:

 

*Camisoles-white, cream, black, brown, red, etc and etc. will be 45% off 

*Dresses-some as low as $20!  Carmen, Kate, Audrey, Grace, Sadie, MaKenna.... 

*Best of all (in my opinion) is 2010 swimwear about 60% off! Teal...Purple...Starburst...Cocoa Brown...Stripes...

These aren't deodorant and makeup stained, ripped, snagged, pre-worn and returned or anything gross  and disgusting like that.  Nope, these are first quality swimsuits, dresses, and shirts!  Wowie wow wow!

If you're in Utah, be sure to come!  You'll be glad you did  :)  If you're not in Utah please keep an eye on our website.

Customer Review: "This dress is amazing! I am a medium size with not much of a waist, more straight and not much curve. This dress was very flattering and made me look like I had a waist. I also LOVE the length. The fabric looks just as it shows, kind of shiny. It's beautiful!"  ~Amy

Featuring Divinita Sole Swimwear...

MlnTheGap from over at Is this Modest wrote a great article called "7 Sites to Find Modest Swimwear" featuring, of course, seven modest swimwear companies.  Divinita Sole swimwear was listed right up top (I like to think it's because our suits are so adorable!).  You can read his article Here but I've c/p'd a portion of it below....

"Diviine Modestee’s entry into the swim category is through their own swimwear department.  The main feature of this site is its “Design Your Perfect Suit” option that allows you to pick a top, bottom and skirt and shows the set together virtually so you can mix and match your options.
Styles for tops are Halter, Ruched and Tankini.
What I like about these suits is the fact that it naturally pairs itself with a skirt, though halter tops usually are a bit revealing in my opinion.  I’ve quickly gone through them, however, and most of them are generally modest."

Thank you Adam for the write-up and the great review!
