Already planning your next getaway? Our Melissa personally designed our Off The Shoulder Dress silhouette two years ago & it has been our #1 best-selling ever since. With a loose smock fit, off the shoulder tulip sleeves & fun tassel detail this dress is designed to take you from every day to vacay. Plus, it’s made with wrinkle resistant fabric perfect for stuffing in your suitcase.
This style comes in a variety of prints & solids. The Naples Off The Shoulder Dress is one of our new resort prints – perfect for any destination.
NEW silhouette alert! Go from beach to street with this flirty set. Wear our elastic waist Ruffle Maxi Skirt as a cover up over your fave swimmy while lounging at the beach then throw on our V-Neck Wrap Top when you’re headed to the tiki bar. Mix & match this top and maxi skirt for an unlimited amount of fun & fabulous looks.

With our main office located in Palm Valley, Melissa was drawn to the beautiful blues, flowers & chic style when creating this print for our new V-neck Ruffle Maxi Dress. This carefree maxi is an easy go-to for any occasion made with fabric so comfortable you’ll never want to take it off (& it has pockets!).
It’s time to SHINE with stylish sun protection designed to make you look & feel your best. With her red hair, Melissa loves the warm jewel tone of our Emerald Metallic Off The Shoulder Dress, perfect for any gatherings or formal event. Pair it with your favorite heels and gold accessories for a fun & fabulous fit.

With so many new pieces, it is hard to pick a favorite from our Metallic Collection…so Melissa picked two! "I always love a classic white dress as a surprising replacement for the little black dress”. Our White/Silver Metallic Keyhole Dress is perfect for parties, weddings, vacations & every special occasion in between. Just slide on your fave heels & you’ll be ready to go!

Our Aspen Puff Sleeve Dress is definitely a fave. With a smocked bodice, easygoing UPF 50+ fabric & fun balloon sleeves, this dress is a closet must-have. Melissa dubbed this piece as “the perfect maxi dress” since you can wear it on or off the shoulders for two different looks & the slit adds a flirty finishing touch.
