Love It or Hate It? Anna Sui Mixed Prints V-Neck Caftan

Caftans can be highly exotic.

Caftans can be highly exotic. Mary-Kate Olsen practically lives in them. But this Anna Sui Mixed Prints V-Neck Caftan ($944) takes exotic to a whole other level. I love the sheer fabric and dark colors. It's the contrast side panels and volume that are throwing me off. A petite girl would especially get lost in so much fabric. What do you think about it? Does it rock your world, or is it better left unworn?

Fab Finding Followup: Raise the Roof

The weather is still warm and I love it.

The weather is still warm and I love it. Last week I attended a hotel rooftop pool party with a bunch of friends. I'm sure I'll cherish the memory come next season's gusty winds. Lots of splashing, drinking, munching, and some dancing were involved. Who was up for the challenge of dressing me? I asked you to help me find a super-cool bathing suit, sandals, a hat, and a coverup. Long live Summer!
I started you off with this Marc Jacobs Collection Carter Wristlet ($595) because all I needed to carry was cash.

Look #1, created by KikiM, is all about gold and earthtones. That Missoni caftan is hippie chic.

Life's a Beach: Cover Up in Style

No matter how hard your abs are or how toned your bum is, you have to cover up a bit before you hit the waves.

No matter how hard your abs are or how toned your bum is, you have to cover up a bit before you hit the waves. OK, I suppose you don't have to, but with all the exotic coverups out there, why not have an outfit change? Blake Lively even covered up with a Tory Burch tunic on the set of Gossip Girl. Coverups are not limited to tunics though. You can wear a romper, sarong, sundress, or tank top. Choose the one that suits your style and give your audience something — your hot bikini bod! — to look forward to.

Celebrity Style: Mary-Kate Olsen

In last week's CelebStyle Smarts quiz, most of you knew the difference between Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's style.

In last week's CelebStyle Smarts quiz, most of you knew the difference between Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's style. Go you! As exemplified here, MK is the sister that doesn't mind looking a little tousled, and we appreciate her for that. The vintage Halston black bat-wing caftan she wore to the Late Show is floaty and flirty. She accentuated her tiny waist with a studded belt and fancied her feet with a pair of Louboutin pumps. Of course, she couldn't leave home with her signature small round sunnies.

Emilio Pucci Cosmo Print Kaftan: Love It or Hate It?

My hunt for the perfect kaftan ended on this Emilio Pucci Cosmo Print Kaftan ($615).

My hunt for the perfect kaftan ended on this Emilio Pucci Cosmo Print Kaftan ($615). I love the tie-up front and the vintage print takes me back to the days of peace and love. I can't help but wonder if the swirling prints and wide sleeves are over the top. What do you think?
