Oscar de la Renta - Resort 2009

I have always really enjoyed Resort collections from designers, because I think the clothes are a little more practical and they remind me of lovely vacations to be had.

I have only browsed a few collections so far, but Oscar de la Renta so far is my favorite. The bright colors, delicious ruffles, and charmingly sweet (yet sophisticated) dresses have me wishing I could withdraw funds from my 401K just to own one of these pretty dresses...

I love the combo of the rich aqua and bright green. I although I cannot own this outfit, I will try to pair these two colors together sometime this summer.

The unexpected combo of bright blue under this red lace overlay is so gorgeous. This dress would be great to wear to a 4th of July fancy bash, as it is fresh and vibrant.

Nothing says summer more than a clean, crisp, classy white dress. Perfect for the Hampton's, Palm Springs, or any other destination you sneak off to this summer.

This dress just made me swoon. The color, the tiered ruffles, the fabric, the print - EVERYTHING. A statement piece sure to have every ones heads turning and looking at you. A girl can dream.....

The dress is just stunning...I mean I am almost speechless because of its beauty. This dress is one that deserves to be photographed and admired. The loveliest shade of coral, the details at the bottom of the dress, the bodice, are all just perfection. It reminds me of something that Scarlett O'Hara would have worn in the summer months in Savannah...I would prefer to wear it to the Cannes Festival.

Do you have any favorite collections that I just have to see? Let me know! It is a nice way to escape away from my current destination.
