Caftan Chic: 17 Looks To Love

{ Via: Camilla }

Caftans are chic again. They probably always have been since Elizabeth Taylor was married in one. And why not? It's a relaxed and whimsical way to look glamorous.  Wear one down the aisle, at the party, on the beach, patio, and poolside. Scroll down and dare to be fabulous! 


Helene Crochet Sequins Kaftan
So pretty in the lightest shade of purple. The main body of the cotton crochet kaftan is lined, which is a good thing. A close up look reveals shiny sequins.

KII Caftan
Easy wear and care, this caftan billows and flows with you. Under $200

Peace Train Mykonos Kaftan
Chic in crochet. Wear this over your swimsuit around the pool or at the beach. A very special piece.

Boho Embellished Short Silk Caftan
It took 660 minutes to complete the beading on this stunning style. The price reflects the craftsmanship. It would be wonderful with narrow leg white silk pants, too. It's fabulous!

Wanderlust Caftan
100% chic in cotton. Under $120
Echo New York


Ocean + Main Mykonos
Ethically sourced and made in Los Angeles, this is my kind of caftan. It's slightly sheer, but bra friendly. It's made from light as a feather upcycled cupro cotton. 
Ocean + Main
 
Andres Otalora Turbay Fringe Caftan
This dress took my breath away. It's pricey. The good news is that it is a pre-order so you only have to put 50% down now. That helps.

Popart Cloud Silk Caftan
Loving the pop of print! It's washable silk, which makes this style even more tempting.
Trina Turk

Ocean and Main Boatneck Caftan
If you know me, you will know how much I love this look. It's navy not black, paired with fabulous fuchsia. Made of satin and silk.

Farm Rio Pineapple Garden Kaftan
Always cheerful and colorful, Farm Rio creates a feminine and flattering look to be worn everywhere.

Tommy Bahama Colorblock Caftan
Made from 100% viscose so it will drape and wash well. The criss cross neckline is a nice detail. Others have it, but it's on sale at Tommy Bahama. Under $90

9 Seed Off The Shoulder Caftan
I have ben eyeing this style for a year. It has never gone on sale! But if you want a little arm coverage and maximum shoulder exposure, this style is for you (and me). It's maxi length, and created in a breezy cotton gauze. Under $200.
Bel Kazan Kaftan
Love the geometric print of the pattern. It's bold and modern. Under $150
Anthropologie

Onsen Caftan
The perfect lounge at home piece. It's created in a textured cotton weave. Available in sand dune or white.

Rianna + Nina Mesogios Manitari Kaftan
Loving this happy print. It's now on sale for more than 50% off, but still a bit pricey.

The Beetles Caftan
Apologies for this bad image of a stunning caftan! The beading is exquisite. Wear this to go dancing. It's on sale.

Foodie Friday: Spotlight on Strawberries


Strawberries are in season now, and there is so much that one can do with this juicy fruit. The first thing to know is that you should buy "organic" strawberries. Please read this article here.  After doing that, make any one of these 16 special recipes, and enjoy one of the best fruits of summer.


Fresh Strawberry Vodka Martini
I am not a martini or vodka drinker, but my arm could be twisted for this chic cocktail!

Strawberry Caprese Salad
 The most beautiful salad ever! It just takes 15 minutes to prepare Those bundles of Burrata look delightful.

Grilled Balsamic Pork Loin with Strawberry Compote
This recipe calls for the pork tenderloin to be marinated for at least one hour. After that it is a quick fix on the grill. Yum!

Spicy Strawberry Avocado Salsa
Said to be good enough to eat with a spoon, and I can only imagine. It offers a little heat, some sweet, and a rich creaminess from the avocado. All you will need is some salty tortilla chips and a margarita.

Hot Strawberry Jam Dutch Baby
If you didn't know, a Dutch Baby is made in a skillet, and is light and fluffy like a popover. In this case, it is filled with homemade vanilla strawberry jam. It is loaded with juicy summer flavor.

Baileys Strawberries and Cream Pink Mudslide Recipe
This mudslide is a beautiful cocktail, especially for a girls night in. It's made with strawberries, Baileys, and vodka.

Strawberry, Basil and Goat Cheese Salad with Balsamic Drizzle
Oh I see this on repeat for Summer

Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse
With only three ingredients, this recipe is easily whipped up and ready to eat in an hour. The perfect summer dessert.

Strawberry Tabouli 
I have never made tabouli, but I love it. This will be made very soon. What a healthy and delicious recipe!

Strawberry Goat Cheese Appetizer
The perfect finger food for summer cocktail hours. It might be nicer to have these pretty picks handy. I always keep some at home.

Crispy Salmon With Strawberry Basil Salsa
I may never cook Salmon another way again. This looks and sounds fabulous! Not to mention how healthy this dish is. This recipe is a winner.

Meringue Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
My Mom made this pie minus the meringue. It was delicious then, but this would be a step above.  "Beautiful Strawberry Rhubarb Meringue Pie filled with a subtle almond cream is a perfect summer dessert with a great balance of sweetness and tartness. Simply delicious!"

Ricotta, Walnut And Strawberry Crostini
Whenever I have served Crostini as an appetizer, it has always been well received. One platter of these is all you need. This recipe turns out fancy and flavorful snack.

Strawberry Bruschetta Grilled Cheese
Whoa! I think this is the prettiest grilled cheese there ever was made. The cheese involved is Brie!

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Chicken and Avocado
This salad is quite the vision! And I would like to see it on my table right now. It's really quite easy, The dressing does double duty as a marinade for the chicken, too.

Roasted Strawberry and Basil Cream Pie
This is a beautiful must make! Basil and fruit is a delicious duo. We just added it to watermelon last weekend. The recipe looks easy as can be.

Red, White & You: What To Wear For The 4th


The 4th of July always holds a special place in my heart. It was the 3rd date for "Mr. Shop This" and I. Both of us remember what I wore, as it was carefully selected. I know you will find something in this edit to love, no matter what your plans are for the holiday.

The Bennet Buttondown Shirt 
Your search is over. I have found the perfect shirt. It's a bit oversized, cool in cotton, under $100, and comes in 22 colors and prints.

Alyssa Caftan
Caftan chic. Details matter and this style doesn't disappoint. The perfect shade of red piping on the sleeve and neckline. Then there is that sensational stitched beading! Perfect for hosting or attending any patio party.

Wide Leg Jumpsuit
Easy wear. Easy care. This jumpsuit would fit right in on the French Riviera as well at your favorite restaurant at home. Love the color and easy fit.

Eyelet Hem Midi Skirt
Isn't this just the prettiest? It's classic in cotton, and looks way more than the $138 price tag (minus an extra 25%!)

Ruffle Front Blouse
Dress up denim with this fun and fanciful blouse. You will wear it way beyond the 4th.

Woven Beach Tote
This bag had me at the tassel! Though it is water resistant, I would tote everything in it to the beach and beyond! Pair this under $100 bag with something from your closet.

Navy Terry Tunic
Wear this from ship to shore. It looks very Tory Burch for more than half the price.
Cabana Life


Veronica Beard Marlton Tweed Jacket
It's the season of the jacket! And look how good it looks with denim. Now on sale and stunning.

Kit Gauze Palazzo Pant & Top
The ultimate in casual chic! Cool and comfy, too.

Shekudo Ilamoye Mules
These are so good! The fringe is unexpected on a shoe.
Shopbop

Corey Lynn Calter Wide Leg Pant
If you love a pant with detail, these are for you! Perhaps my fave of the edit.

Sawyer Stripe Tee
This cool and classic look may not be for you, but it's fun for anyone that loves a good tee top.  Wear this as styled here, over a swim suit, or with leggings. 
High Rose Petal Pusher Jeans
Cool in cotton with 1% elastane. These really are adorable. The zig zag stitching on the leg is super fun!
