It's crazy hot right now in L.A. so looking at these Resort collections is like a refreshing frozen margarita for my brain.
Although I did review a few of Alexander Wang's collections (Resort 2010, Spring 2010, Fall 2010), his collections were never my favorite. I mean, I obviously won't be sporting, say...a full on velvet suit anytime soon. However, this Resort collection was pretty ready-to-wear...well, for him it is. Minimalistic with clean lines, the color palette did not stray far from neutrals. Sheer tops, big sweaters, and great outerwear, it is a great winter to spring transition, or even a summer to fall transition. However, I don't know if I can get behind those shoes...socks with sandals, hellz yes. Birkenstock with socks? I'll pass. Gorgeous beachy hair, though!

I recently saw "
Coco avant Chanel" starring Audrey Tatou (one of my all time lady heroes). There is one scene where she is with Arthur "Boy" Capel (played by Alessandro Nivola) at the beach. She's wearing a straw hat and very easy and versatile pieces. I feel like
Jason Wu's Resort collection is what Coco would wear in the present time: straw hats, loose dresses in flattering silhouettes, and great separates. And of course, when Coco goes dancing in a later scene, she can wear some of the gorgeous gowns in this Resort collection!
Classically chic and simple: that's what Thakoon's Resort collection was all about. Lots of sheer white tops and tan utilitarian jackets. I'm also loving the dyed hair in hot pink and electric blues.
Vena Cava's Resort collection is perfect for the beach, or a beach picnic, or walking on the boardwalk, or lounging and drinking a frozen beverage. Yes, my idea of the beach is unlike the ~spring break~ idea of a beach but let's face it...if I can pull off a breezy top with a white trouser, or a swingy blazer, that would be some great cabana beach-ware. But let's face it, I can also feel just as classy in a straw hat like these ones.
