floating in the breeze on the côte d’azure

what goes up must come down. and although i think mini-dresses will be sticking around for a while (or at least until the return of that sad sod, jack frost, the sumbitch), long floral halter dresses are just divine, no? what a great way to stay cool even if you haven’t had a chance to get thee to the tannery.

there’s a hell of a lot to be said for leaving something to imagination (it’s funny how in vancouver, the minute the mercury hits 80 degrees, out come the short shorts, headband-sized skirts, tube tops and shirtless men). and there’s something so easy and effortless, yet eye-catching and daring about an ankle-length sundress. you could go straight from the beach and wander into an awards show undetected. and yet, nobody will ever know that you’re completely commando under there. c’mon now, nobody likes sweaty panties.

only $29.80 for glamour galore. and no need for jewelry even, the tie at the neck is beaded. i’d wear this with flat strappy leather sandals and maybe a bangle and a cotton tote.

$29.99 for hippie chic. i’ve been eyeing this dress for a while now. i absolutely adore the print and the colors. and that subtle little ruffle on the bottom makes my wee heart flutter.

only $24.99 for gaga gorgeousness! i cannot believe the price on this beauty. and it’s SILK! suddenly you’re a socialite vacationing marrakesh.

PS empty your caches, hipsters! we’ve got a new masthead!

yes please, maryam. i will come to marrakesh and be your personal shopper. no problemo.
any extra plane tickets lying around??

and amanda, i go to a ross store every chance i get, but they don’t have any here. just winners, which is a fairly good approximation of TJ Maxx.

Romantic and lovely, these dresses! Ugh-err, Ambika, not all who sun worship are equally blessed, eh? and Maryam, I think we would all come visit your amazing Marrakesh if we could–we’ll bring pretty dresses!

I seriously saw 2 men who *should not* have been shirtless, sunbathing their enormous bellies in front of God & everybody.

Have you tried hitting up a Ross store? Do they have those out there? I’ve been getting the cutest print sundresses there. I need to take some pictures to share!
