Have you ever recieved Love From Paradise? 

With Love From Paradise (WLFP) inspired athletic wear from Hawaii. 

Founder and creator of WLFP, Amie Gaines, was born and raised on Kauai, Hawaii.  She grew up with a big wave surfer/shaper father and a seamstress mother.  Adventurous sports & fashion are major parts of Gaines’ lifestyle, so she understands what active women want.  Gaines combines these two components to create versatile yet sexy active wear for the woman on the move.  With a creative mind and a surfer’s soul, Gaines wants to inspire women to sport the fitted athletic wear working out or going out.  Her line is made with love & passion from her home in Hawaii.  “I wanted to create a collection that makes women feel confident and comfortable. Fashion is a way to express yourself and how you feel.   I wanted to offer an athletic collection that stays true to the spirit of Hawaii, and makes women feel confident in what they wear while living a active lifestyle, what woman doesn’t love versatility! “

Surf Mei Mei was lucky to stumble upon With Love From Paradise’s merchandise while I was visiting North Shore, Hawaii.  WLFP’s design is sleek, feminine and eye-catching.  I could not resist buying WLFP’s Y-strap bralette with a tropical floral print at my Bikram Yoga class.

Made out of swimwear lycra, I can wear it to sweaty hot yoga classes, while out running or surfing.  The Y-strap construction makes sure the top stays put and protects your chest even while performing extreme movements due to the support of the Y-strap.  It felt a bit tight at first.  But I just needed to adjust my chest forward, as if I were wearing a bra.  The way the bralette is designed, it gives you nice cleavage with good support.

GEAR REVIEW

Type: Athletic Wear

Brand: With Love From Paradise is true to the spirit of the garden island of Kaua’i, where surf and mountains blend in casual harmony. Inspired by the island’s perpetual sunshine and water, WLFP has developed a fashion forward alternative to active wear. Their fabrics are quick dry, breathable, and flexible. WLFP is great for any workout and it can be worn all day as a part of a stylish outfit. Each piece has an element of femininity and strength that represents the active & motivated woman.

Look: Sport bralette that you can wear along with a pair of WLFP leggings.  Y Strap bralette not only shows off your beautiful back, but it gives great support for your chest and provides good mobility to your shoulders for dynamic sports, such as surfing. Tropical prints or vibrant solid colors are available.

Verdict

Love the colors! If you are into floral pattern and some good support, this WLFP Y-strap bralette gives you a style that has a feminine look but not too flowery.  Purchase a size that is not too small but has a nice, snug feel that enables good shoulder mobility.
