Fashion Friday: Resort 2009

2008 was so five minutes ago! Already loving what 2009 has in store.

Side note: Don't you love the idea of Resort collections? The thought brings to mind decadent trips to beautiful beaches or cross-Atlantic cruises where your greatest worry is which cocktail to order. I'll have a mojito, please.

These three designers really hit the mark:


Designs by Carolina Herrera


Designs by Elie Tahari
