one of the things that’s nice about having this blog is that i can come back whenever i’m in the mood for inspiration to browse through all of my favorite collections. but there are so many cool looks coming out, that sometimes i have a hard time keeping up! which is why i’ve resolved to make my best effort to share all of the pretty collections that i find instead of just saving them onto my computer desktop only to be forgotten! case in point: the other day, rhiannon posted a few looks from the orla kiely resort 2012 collection and i got so excited that i just had to share my top picks! i’m planning a trip to hawaii this year, so i’ve been racking my brain about what fun looks i’ll be sporting while traipsing around oahu. i love that there’s this perfect mix of fun and easy sun dresses with very smart little coats so that i can transition back into the rainy spring weather that will be awaiting me when i return to the bay area. in some ways, it’s the reason why i love resort and pre-fall collections so much. they have the perfect mix of both seasons which is just right for us california kids. oh, and did i mention that many of these pieces are already available online?
