TRIANGL review: Chloe in Miami Mint


Continuing my obsessive love for Triangl, my next purchase was the Chloe top in Miami Mint in XS.
Clearly the Chloe top is different from your average triangle bikini tops. Oh boy, I nearly spelled “triangle” as “triangl.” Guys, Triangl is getting to me.


The main difference is that the triangles are shifted a bit more to the side, so there is a bit more cleavage while the triangle extends to nearly under your armpit, distance-wise. Since there is no padding, the ties cause the cup to stretch when worn, pushing down on your boobs and creating more cleavage in the front. From the side, this top also causes your boobs to look a bit more flat if you’re a member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Again, this isn’t really an issue for me as I am okay with my Itty Bittiness, but if you’re around the same size as I am (32A/B) want to look fuller all around, this may not be the top for you.

If you have a fuller chest, this shouldn’t be an issue. In fact, if your chest is full enough, this top may cause cleavage, side-boob, and under-boob, so if you love showing off your boobs, this’ll be awesome for you. If not, you may want to look into other Triangl bikinis.
Another issue is that, if it’s cold, you may see some headlights beaming through. Rather unfortunate as I do like this design, an update on the classic triangle top, but it’s not enough of an issue to make me not want to wear it.

Quick question: I’ve noticed that padding-less bikinis have been rather popular lately, as Coulbourne and Frankie’s and Midori bikinis have been trending. But how do people.. deal with the possibility of headlights? Or do they just stay near people they feel really, and I mean really, comfortable with? I’m stumped.
Miami Mint is a lovely shade of aqua blue, with a tinge of mint. No wonder it’s so easy to confuse Miami Mint with Santa Rosa Splash. As always, the neoprene is nice and thick. The tie straps are somewhat long, or at least longer than the straps of my other bikini tops. Also, the metal cubes are quite heavy. I feel that if you were to move around a lot, they could have the potential to inflict a bit of pain, so be careful with that!



So far, I think my favorite top is the Milly, though the Chloe is not far behind. I have yet to purchase the other triangle-shaped top with adjustable straps, but I have the feeling I’d like that one a lot too.
When will my Triangl obsession end? I’ll never know.

Lokai authenticity: how to tell if a Lokai is real or fake

Image
I have to admit I'm a bit of a Lokai enthusiast. I love that there is a deeper meaning behind each bracelet, and that a portion of proceeds from charity bracelets gets donated. Plus, I do like that they're just so squishy. :) I've recently spent a bit of time looking through Poshmark and Mercari's Lokai listings, only to find that the mass majority of them are fake. Some sellers are adamant that their bracelets are authentic when they know that the exact opposite is true (the things people will do to make a quick buck.. sigh), while others just don't know how to tell whether or not the bracelet they're selling is real or not. Therefore, I thought it'd be helpful to offer some pointers on how to tell whether or not a Lokai bracelet is real or fake. First off, I'm going to completely disregard the tags. I've seen many fake bracelets that had tags that were spot on. Tags are so easily copied in their fonts and design, so I don't believe ...

sunglasses for asian faces

Guys, I’ve struggled with sunglasses my whole life. Well okay, just the past few years. I didn’t really care about protecting my eyes from the sun before that (I know, how naughty). However, when I did start looking into sunnies, I found that the vast majority of them didn’t fit me. You guys have no idea how heartbreaking it is when you walk into Nordstrom / Illesteva / Warby Parker /any major fashion retailer and try on sunnies that can’t even fit around your head, especially when you heart these babies (I don't need glasses, but just in case, right?). The arms were always so, so tight around my head— it was like they were trying to squeeze the brain juices out of my noggin. Have any of you watched the show Brain Dead ? Remember the CHI- catastrophic head injury- scenes? Yeah. Side view of my rather flat face. I'm the one holding a phone, teddy bear, and bag, right next to my cousin who is also on his phone (hi John!). This is at my other cousin's high scho...

TRIANGL authenticity: how to tell if a TRIANGL bikini is real or fake

Image
When searching for a better deal on Triangl bikinis on shopping apps or the Internet, it’s important to be able to tell the difference between the real deal and a well-constructed look-alike. After all, nobody ever likes shelling out money for a fake. Theoretically, the only way to ensure that your Triangl is authentic is to purchase directly from the Triangl website. However, if you’re dying to get your hands on a suit and can’t afford to go that route, check out my tips for ensuring that your suit, whether from eBay or Poshmark or wherever else you’ve found it, is indeed authentic. Here goes! 1. Ensure there are no raw hems. With bandeau-style tops like the Milly, Brigitte, Winnie, etc., look near the labels. Authentic Triangls will not have any raw, unfinished hems, while dupes will leave the edge raw, revealing the white rubber-like material underneath the cloth. 2. Check for bar codes. If the seller has the original plastic bag packaging available for you to see...
