Inspired by this amazing beaded dress from Naeem Khan‘s Resort collection, today’s color story is icy cool with a sense of calm sophistication. Perhaps even a bit futuristic. I’m really not a fancy lady, but owning a dress like this would be a complete game changer.
The Rose Bowl flea market in Pasadena might just be one of the most amazing places on Earth. I always have a hard time committing to a purchase only because the urge to buy is so strong. Does that even make sense? Plus, if I weigh myself down with too much awesome loot I’ll surely inhibit my ability to snap photos. And that, dear friends, is always my primary agenda when I go to this; to share the beautiful eye candy with all of you out there. Be sure to come back next week for the vintage textiles edition!
If you’re picking a destination for your 2013 Resort holiday, I highly suggest you follow the lead of these designers and take a trip back in time. Somewhere in the 60’s-70’s would be my choice. Vintage prints, colors and silhouettes are front and center in so many Resort collections that it had to be my first print report of the season. Below are a few of my favorite looks in this trend; I’m particularly loving the ones with bright, contrasting colors!
Colorblocked pastels always make me a bit nostalgic for the 80s, but just add in a few Swatch watches and stuffed alpacas in sherbet hues and you’ve got yourself the real deal. These colors also invoke cravings for that amazing ice cream with all the swirly colors and big chunks of bubblegum. It’s been so many years since I’ve had it… can you still get that stuff?
