What to Wear: Girls Weekend

This weekend my best friends and I are headed to Paso Robles - a town in California's Central Coast region known for its burgeoning wine industry, and hot springs. Here is what my imagination would pack in our suitcases from the Resort 2011 collections:

Neutral Togs for Horseback Riding

Helmut Lang, Hanii Y, Max Azria and Thakoon

Bright and Bold Wine-tasting Wear

Dior, D Squared, Oscar de la Renta and Just Cavalli

Coquettish Cocktail dresses for a special birthday dinner

Collette Dinnigan, Chris Benz, Antonio Berardi and Giambattista Valli
