Gucci hits it right with Resort

H. P. is in love with the Joy bag from Gucci cruise this year. There have been varied reviews, but we think its genius. The golden shell details, the delicate turquoise jewel stones--just our style. With just the right maxi dress, a pair of Havaianas, and a demure chignon to balance your look, new Joy bag will look definitively posh.

For those of you who know me, you already realize that I am head over heels in love with resort, and anything bohemian for that matter really, but I will say that there have been other items and collections for resort this season that are less than desirable...

Take, for example, Zac Posen Resort '09. Now, we are not knocking his genius by any means, because we will first say as a disclaimer, that everything was obviously a labor of love and work of art too, however it just was not up to snuff. Really, in our opinion, it was almost over styled. The suits looked more unfinished than elegant, and the blouses reminded us of the sailor garb that I once found in my Grandfather's closet from 1968. The final gown was just screaming dynasty, and the first, goth.

Possibly, with the right styling, things might look better, but as for that lightning white satin number, I'm still thinking Celine Dion's John Galliano backwards suit at the Oscars in '99 (was it '99?). All that's miss there is the outfit turned about face and the fedora. Thank goodness, for my love of Zac, that Spring was much more refreshing.
