Whilst running after three kids and carrying more backpacks than a Himalayan sherpa today at Sea World, I couldn’t help but dream about being somewhere else… somewhere warm and tropical with a drink in my hand, trashy novel in my lap, and wearing fabulous resort wear. So I found nap time to be the perfect time to skim through the latest in Resort 2014 collections. Some of my personal favorites included an adorably chic black Phillip Lim 3.1 romper and white blouse combo, perfect for wandering down a cobblestone street in a tiny European town…

A white lace Giambattista Valli robe inspired dress that would look glorious atop a camel’s back or while dining al fresco in a tiny Greek Village…

And an eco-friendly python Stella McCartney shift dress with killer zipper detail that would look perfect anywhere – except for maybe the front row of a Shamu show.
