Happy holidays, everyone! What's that? It's not a holiday? Well, pardon me for being confused, again. Clearly the heat's getting to me.  Along with the resort collections, brands are showing holiday. Yes, there is, in fact, a special collection of clothes for the holiday season. Think sparkly, evening, and generally warm and cozy pieces.

Today at Club Monaco I got a sneak peek at both holiday and resort. The resort options were slim but adorable—nautical striped tops, rompers, and dresses. The holiday collection was far more robust. Naturally, I went first to the tuxedo jacket. A girl can never ever have too many tuxedo jackets. Words to live by, ladies.

The '70s may still be the decade of choice for the fashion-minded, but Jill Stuart seemed to have another era on the mind when it came to resort: the '40s.

A lineup of fluttery-sleeved, fluttery-skirted dresses in sweet little floral prints looked perfect for pairing with saddle shoes and a cherry-red lip on the dance floor (or maybe I’ve just seen this scene from A League of Their Own a few too many times).

Late artist Sonia Delaunay currently has an exhibition at the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and her name has popped up as inspiration on the resort show circuit—and Doo.Ri has noticed.

Designer Doo Ri Chung was inspired, according to her notes, “not only by Delaunay’s intricate design process, but also by her theories in color and contrast.”
