It's like Tiffany's: Stella McCartney Resort 2010

While fall has to be my favorite season in fashion, resort comes mighty close. And why not, right? It comes around the time when the snow starts to fall, our behinds start to freeze and stilettos become a more and more difficult option as footwear. So like anybody else who doesn't live in Miami or Dubai, resort becomes my fashion escape from the cold where I imagine myself jet-setting in only the best of the best of the season's collections. Well, no one knows the luxury life of the rich and the famous than Stella McCartney herself. And not because she is the daughter of a Beatle, but after all being a past creative director for Chloé and Gucci, that alone qualifies her in the category of being in the know of how to create resort look that doesn't resemble a white t-shirt, beige shorts and Birkenstocks. In fact, her 2010 resort collection is galaxies from that.

With her full schedule (her latest collaboration: designing a line for Gap Kids and Baby Gap), one would think the designer's creative flow would be in full exhaustion. However, with this collection, it was evident that McCartney is able to keep whatever it is that inspires her to allow her to be on top of her game. The resort collection featured remnants of fall's lace, black, leather and sequins but the splash of blue and nautical stripes reminded us all of being on board the Queen Elizabeth. And the colors don't stop there. McCartney playfully adds hints of yellow, orange and green and even a preview of spring's florals play an important role in the collection.

Overall, her 2010 resort collection is one of my favorites for the season. She keeps it classic and simple (Ala Stella McCartney way!) but adds pieces (my personal favorite, big floral jeweled prints) that make it very unique and of course, very appealing.

Below are my favorite pieces from the collection:
