Greer's OC

Eco-friendly is a sexy concept, and with that said, so are OC-based L*Space swimwear’s new line of “green” bikinis. The new L*Space “Slinky” collection is pioneering “going green” with fabrics made from Sarona fibers—naturally occurring starch in corn kernels that reportedly use less energy and greenhouse gas to produce than other swim wear fabrics. L*Space Slinky separates come in solid shades of black, jade, red, and chocolate brown—and if you’re concerned about stretch—this fabric offers stretch with recovery! Price points are a bit higher than other collections—$60 to $72 per piece, but as a Greer’s OC subscriber you can save.

At Diane’s Bikini in Corona Del Mar Plaza, just print out this Daily Dose and save 20% on all L*Space bikinis, including the “green suits.” L*Space is hot with celebrities – from Cameron Diaz to Jessica Alba – and it’s available at chic boutiques, resorts, and surf shops across the globe.

Diane’s Bikini is at 800 Avocado Ave. in Newport Beach. 949.640.7855. (Above L’Space Slinky bikini by Nicolas deBruin photography.)
