Let’s close out the week with something glittering, shiny and fabulous, shall we? The Prada Resort 2013 ad campaign will do nicely, we think. Have a fabulous weekend, dripping with accessories and attitude, darlings!   Prada Resort 2013 Ad Canpaign featuring model Sasha Pivovarova...

Darlings, let’s all sit down and have a very serious conversation about accessories. To hell with that. It’s too hot and besides, accessories convos always turn out to be quite binary: “I would wear that” vs. “I would not wear that.” These Kenzo accessories...

One of a number of hot young designers of the moment, Joseph Altuzarra took the oft-referenced safari as his inspiration for his 2013 resort collection, along with the designs of the tribes of Masai, presenting ikat patterns in bold colors, killer tailored coats and jackets cinched with belts...

Some of these pairs are a bit too casual for the red carpet, so we’re not inclined to play Pretend Stylist just this once. Instead, we’re turning it over to you ladies. Time to do some pretend (or real, if you’ve got the cash lying around) shopping, gals.We think many of you...

  What we’ve always loved about the Tibi brand is its penchant for chic, wearable minimalism and that’s still on display here, in spades. But it’s never “minimalism” in the stereotypically fashion sense of sending a bunch of grey, white, or black shifts and...

Vivienne Tam routinely takes inspiration from Eastern spiritual concepts, which is appropriate, because if you’ve ever sat in on one of her runway shows, it’s a religious experience. This time, she was inspired by the spiritual and ritual significance of the mandala, and focused...

Ladies, remember when ladyshoes were elegant? Remember when it wasn’t considered attractive to wear shoes that make your feet look like hooves? Or wildly out of proportion to your body, like Minnie Mouse? Or so ridiculously complicated that one fears one needs an engineering degree just...

To hell with it. We’re sending you your pretty for the day RIGHT NOW.   And if you don’t think the Alexander McQueen Resort 2013 collection is pretty, we will weep salty tears. Over your lack of taste and inability to appreciate beauty. Okay, no. We’ll be nice. But...

Well, we showed you his very cute insect-inspired collection already, so let’s go from ladybug to lady bags, ladies. Also: shoes, because who doesn’t love to talk about bags and shoes? No one, darlings. No one civilized.     Daphne Shoulder Bag Daphne Crossbody Bag...

Darlings, here’s your pretty to close out the week. It might be a surprise to see such a toned-down collection coming from the normally more exuberant Marchesa, but once you find out it was all inspired by English garden parties, it makes much more sense. Pretty, romantic, elegant, and...

Ladies, it is a crushingly hot day in the world outside the gates of T Lo Estates. Four out of doctors recommend talking about accessories as a way to combat heat stroke. And who are we to argue with that? Consider the Tory Burch bags from her Resort collection: Beachy Norah Flat Clutch...

For her very first resort collection ever, L’Wren Scott offered up a surprisingly retro bunch of looks, that were nonetheless crazy-colorful and cheeky-fun. Entitled “Propaganda,” there’s an irreverent feel throughout the collection even as it sends a message, as seen...

You can add Miss Cynthia to the short list of designers who opted not to go in a ladylike direction for her resort collection this season.  As always with Cynthia Rowley, it’s fashion for the girl who doesn’t take fashion too seriously. Shiny metallics, bold florals, tight pants,...

Ladies, let’s talk shoes. You know you want to. We don’t feature the footwear of Charlotte Olympia often enough here; the shoes are insanely popular and these pairs from the Resort 2013 collection are cute and fun. And what better way to talk about shoes than to put them on the...

Inspired by the reclaimed wood sculptures of Canadian artist Aaron Moran; Prabal Gurung’s 2013 resort collection is a candy-colored mixture of modern silhouettes, laser-sharp tailoring, asymmetry, and florals, with just a hint of Asian and Eastern style influences. This collection feels...

Inspired by artist Mike Libby’s Insect Lab Studio, Jason Wu offers up a collection of colorful, precise, ladylike looks very much in the established Wu mold. Everything is crisp and feminine, with pops of bright colors against blacks, like an exotic beetle or butterfly. It’s...

Crazy styling, odd proportions, and gaudily bright colors, with lots of layering and unlikely pairings; that’s all par for the course with a Marc Jacobs collection and this one is no different. He’s always going to lay down that gauntlet and demand that you truly look at the...

The Duchess’s theme for this collection was “opulent minimalism,” said to be inspired by his recent trip to Turkey, which TOTALLY sounds like Michael Kors. Nobody does Resort like him. You can just see the fabulous jet-setter, hopping from place to place with an entourage carrying...

Miss Rachel looked to the hillsides and sidewalks of France for this collection, taking two of her top style inspirations, Catherine Deneuve and Jackie Kennedy, along for the trip with her. Love the prints and rich color palette, as well as the range of shapes, from flowy to very fitted. This...

Donna Karan described this collection as “rock, paper, crystal, scissors,”  which we don’t quite understand. Still, it’s a pretty collection. Love the pleating and draping. It’s always a simple yet very sophisticated and chic look when it comes to her designs. And...

Hello, nineties! You’re back with your funky-fresh self, aren’t you? Well, according to the Just Cavalli Resort 2013 collection you are. Loaded with bright neons, animal and extravagant floral prints and more than a passing nod to Hip hop, this collection propels us straight back...
