Coveted Crib: Alys Beach Homes
I just came across Alys Beach, a community of resort homes on the Florida Panhandle, and I am completely infatuated with the place. With beautiful white stucco walls and white-ridged roofs, it's a cross between English and Spanish architecture with classic, old-world charm.
It's also outfitted with every modern convenience, and each home is built using green construction techniques.
Look Book Love: Rebecca Taylor Resort '09
There's no denying that resort collections put you in a vacationing mood. Rebecca Taylor's Resort '09 line does precisely that. As I was flipping through the colorful look book, I was envisioning what exotic locale I would wear each outfit to.
Trend Alert: Resort Time Maxis
If you're part of the lucky bunch who is jetsetting to paradise this holiday, do not leave home without at least one Resort time maxi. But the real beauty is: You don't need to leave your hometown to wear such a fabulous frock. Actress Jennifer Morrison wore her Missoni to an InStyle soiree only appearing to have transported herself.

Home Away From Home: Maya Tulum
I can't think of a better way to relax after an activities-filled wedding week than by honeymooning on the beach. If this type of mellow, back-to-nature adventure sounds like your type of vacation, then head to Tulum, Mexico, to stay at Maya Tulum Resort.
This resort features cabanas that are right on the beach, though you'll have to be prepared for a walk on the rustic side.
Look of the Day: Resort to Class
AG5 decided to wear resort to class with a fun and colorful outfit. She's just heading to school, but her paisley shorts and nautical striped cardigan make me yearn for a summer vacay in Italy, maybe?
Here's what she has on:
- Cardigan: J.Crew
- Tank: Banana Republic
- Shorts: J.Crew
- Belt: Gucci
- Shoes: Charlotte Russe
- Necklace: Urban Outfitters
- Bangles: J.Crew
The Look For Less: Drew Barrymore's Asymmetrical Gucci Dress
Drew Barrymore recently heated up the desert in her asymmetrical Gucci Resort '08. She has a tendency to dress very laid-back, but when she gets dolled up, I fall in love all over again. There's one minor problem in this equation: The asymmetrical frock is way out of my budget.
Paul & Joe Awa Bow Dress: Love It or Hate It?
Paul & Joe's resort collection has just arrived at Shopbop and I am sort of liking Paul & Joe's Awa Bow Dress ($341). Even though the voluminous sleeves can be trendy, Nina Garcia says in her Little Black Book of Style to buy with drama sometimes. Still, I wouldn't pay that much for a faddish dress.
Look of the Day: Resort Babe
Truefashionista has resort babe written all over her. It helps that she's sporting a hotter-than-hot one-piece bathing suit, a stylish bangle, a bright red head wrap, and oversized sunnies. What I would give to be beside her!
Fabworthy: Kors Michael Kors Metallic Sandals
Should you be going anywhere tropical — physically or within your imagination — be sure to take these Kors Michael Kors Metallic Flat Strappy Sandals ($215) with you. They'll show off your pedicure and give your feet a much-needed breath of fresh air. Only, opt to wear them with tame clothing so that your feet can do the dazzling.
