Caftan Cravings

I have a slight obsession with the idea of “resort wear” – probably because I have a slight obsession with the idea of permanently being on vacation and having nothing better to do than lounge around by infinity pools and indulge in luxury spa services (if only I could get past the 40 years of work I have ahead of me, sigh)…

On that note, its no surprise I’m dying over these gorgeous caftans from Australian designer Camilla Franks. From her most recent “Babylon Collection,” these looks are stunning examples of her signature bold and inspired graphic prints – and I’m imagining they would be perfect for paradise… regardless of where your idea of paradise might be!

IKRAN and NAVI – I’m thinking South African hotel + spa inspiration…

MARAJO and PARROT – perfect for a Caribbean cruise!

BARAKA – Brazil? Bali? Beaches… does it really matter where?

NOVAYA and KABBALAH – Ibiza is calling my name!

PEACOCK and AQUA FINA – made just for a Grecian getaway…

I’m definitely still feeling Greece this week… what’s your idea of paradise?

Destination Inspiration: Eskaya Beach Resort

Remember when I said I NEEDED to feel the sand between my toes?! Well I’m excited to be heading to the Philippines for a bit of a family reunion and besides spending some time in Manila, we’re going to Bohol which = beach time! Unfortunately… this isn’t happening for a few months (sighhh, insert pouty face) so until then, here’s some island inspiration for you!

I can barely look at swimwear right now since 1) I can’t shop and 2) vacay is so far away… but I’m loving the DVF String Bikini, Tara Matthews Bead-embellished Bikini Set, and Pucci (yes please!) Printed Triangle Bikini.

I have no idea where we’re actually staying, but I literally googled beach resorts in Bohol and found the Eskaya Beach Resort and Spa …Helloo gorgeous. Found in Panglao, the southernmost tip of Bohol, this boutique style all-villa resort is apparently great for people looking for peace and serenity (read: no childrens’ activity pool and no all-you-can-drink package marketed to college kids) – what I want on my vacation is pure relaxation, so it sounds perfect to me!

The thatched villas are distinctly Filipino “with a splash of modern amenities” (Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, running water…)

Check out this free standing bathtub – it’s such a modern fixture to have in a villa don’t you think?!

Light, airy tunics perfect for lounging around or throwing over your swimwear: Calypso Sima Tunic, Allegra Hicks Iman Caftan, and DVF New Edie Mini Dress.

Each villa comes with its own pool (obviously)! This is a garden-view option…

And an ocean-view option… infinity pool AND whirlpool. Are you drooling yet?

These fun florals are kind of amazing. Resort attire, date-worthy, wedding season – who really needs an excuse? DVF Beach Tabalah Caftan, Tibi Silk Asymmetrical Maxi DressTibi Silk Bandeau Dress.

Hopefully I’ll be able to share photos from where we’re actually staying in a few months, but until then… who’d like to enjoy me in dreaming?
