beach and resort
A few beach and resort worth your tap — throw-on-and-go, every time.
Beach Riot does the fun mini better than most — this one in guava jelly is the colour of a really good summer. Throw it on after the beach, keep it on for drinks.
Libbi Mini Dress in Guava Jelly
Racquet court green from Beach Riot is one of those colours that just works. Comfortable enough to wear all day, put-together enough for dinner — it earns its place.
Zephyra Dress in Racquet Court Green
A skort romper in a postcard print — exactly as vacation-ready as it sounds. Amanda Uprichard does the resort piece beautifully, and the built-in skirt means it moves like a dress.
Lena Skort Romper in Postcard Print
Green lagoon maxi from Baobab is giving lush, saturated tropical energy without going kitschy. The kind of dress where people notice you walked in.
Bari Maxi Dress in Green Lagoon
Cinq à Sept in ultramarine with a floral at the neckline — it's the dress you wear to the wedding and definitely get compliments at. Polished but not stuffy.
Flower Joisian Dress in Ultramarine
evening and occasion
Good evening and occasion, no fuss — easy to wear, easy to love.
A black and white dot cowl neck that hits exactly right. The cut is flattering without trying, and dot print is always the answer when you want to look dressed without overdoing it.
Elma Cowl Neck Dress in Black & White Dot Mix
Amanda Uprichard x REVOLVE in baby blue: this is the dress for every occasion between brunch and black tie. Feminine without being fussy — put it on, walk out.
x REVOLVE Evianna Dress in Baby Blue
An ivory two-piece from Amanda Uprichard that works as a set or as separates. Quiet luxury feel at a fraction of the price — versatile is an understatement.
x REVOLVE Maui Dress Set in Ivory
ALC's Juno in bone china is the dress you buy when you're tired of looking for the dress. Clean lines, beautiful fabric, zero styling effort required.

Cinq à Sept in ultramarine again — the Olena Gown is the full-length version you reach for when the occasion calls for something a little spectacular. The colour does the work.

botanical and statement
The botanical and statement I keep coming back to — they look pricier than they are.
Charo Ruiz Ibiza's pink botanic embroidery is some of the most beautiful textile work at this price point. The Cusia short dress is the entry point — and a very good one.
Short Dress Cusia in Pink Botanic
Cream botanic in the Gardenia short dress from Charo Ruiz Ibiza. The embroidery tells a story you don't have to explain — just let people ask about it.
Gardenia Short Dress in Cream Botanic
The Crissy long dress from Charo Ruiz is the botanical midi for when you need more dress. Same intricate cream-on-cream embroidery, a flowing hemline, and that signature Ibiza ease.
Crissy Long Dress in Cream Botanic
Clea's fringe hem dress in perla is one of those pieces that looks effortless but clearly isn't — the movement as you walk is genuinely beautiful. Off-white that earns every penny.
Emine Fringe Hem Dress in Perla
Cult Gaia's Andromeda in sesame — the architectural construction, the sculptural silhouette, zero prints or embellishment needed. Pure design doing all the work.
