DRESSCODE: PALM PARADISE

We can't get enough of that desert life. Lucky us, we're in sunny California and can take a quick trip to an oasis whenever we fancy a little r&r. Suntans, sand, succulents, shopping and spas- we need little else. Resort life is our inspiration for a life well lived. From the architecture and interiors to the fabulous style and saturated colors, we love it all. These are our current fave looks that instantly transport us to our sun-soaked special place. Come to palm paradise with us!

A billowy jumpsuit blurs all the lines and manages to be a pantsuit and dress, casual and formal, modern and retro, crazy and polished- all at once. Why choose? You really can have it all. This ultra wide-leg jumpsuit by Victoria Royal is a keeper.

The long and short of it is that anything goes, as long as you accessorize with a shot of confidence. We love the proportion play with this look, a cropped silk Akris jacket paired with a long Giorgio Armani skirt is both demure and flashy. A little sliver of skin keeps the whole look young and modern, while a timeless print and palette is reminiscent of ancient works of art. Finished with a sculptural bamboo bag, this look is surprisingly appropriate for both the gallery crowd and the blazing desert sun.

Don't get washed out by the sun! A palette of bold brights stands up to the sun's strong rays, looks great with a tan, and is noticeable through even the darkest sunnies. Ditch the dark wardrobe and save it for city life- the resort life calls for shades of sunshine!

Brilliant sunsets call for classic cocktails and bold brights. No boring beiges here- festive florals and feathered hats keep the party going all night long. Have a little fun! We love the stylized floral print and bright neon hues of this Sylvia Agin cocktail dress, perfect for any glamorously relaxed desert soirée.
