Kitchen Apron Gets Chic

By Michel Fox

If this past weekend of July 4th festivities have taught us anything (other than how to make our swimming pools into fitness centers!), it’s that we love to cook and entertain guests. What we don’t like, though, is getting our sweet summer sundresses messy while whipping up goodies in the kitchen. What we like even less, though, are industrial (and not-at-all fashionable) smocks and cheesy aprons (“kiss the cook”? no thank you.)

For those of us who want to fashionably entertain without staining our clothes (and racking up a pricey dry cleaning bill), Susan and Veronica have created the perfect accessory.  With their fashionable apron collection. The dynamic duo afford us the ability to hone our culinary skills, without compromising our fashion-forward ways.

The perfect summer salad recipe!

Having left the entertainment industry to pursue their dream of fashion and home design, both Susan and Veronica adhere to the philosophy that “Style Begins at Home” – and want to bring that moto to your kitchens (or grills) as well. Strapless, sexy and suitable of any occasion (well, any cooking occasion anyway), their Sugar Bomb Strapless Aprons are the new little black dress of kitchen-wear. Trimmed with ribbon and fastened with a tie in the back, this machine-washable style flatters the female figure for a retro-glam look you won’t have to worry about spilling or splashing on.  Plus, they’re made of 100% lightweight cotton, making them ideal even for summer’s scorchers.

A manicure that won’t chip while you cook!

Designed to fulfill every mood (think style savvy, flirty, playful and edgy), their aprons are available in a variety of prints and stylish designs sure to satisfy any chef and suit any modern woman. Our top pick, though, is the Pink Ribbon Apron ($52.95), which gives back to the Young Survival Coalition in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Regardless of your style choice, buy your new favorite kitchen accessory before you plan your next dinner party!
