Resort/Cruise trend report 2011

Resort 2011 Cruise collection has a few popular trends this season… the pastel, shorts, black & white, straw hats, and maxi dresses.

What is great about Cruise/Resort collections is that the collections are shown in the middle of summer which is convenient because it gives wardrobing options right now, and in November-December when the collections come to stores some of us can spice things by adding “new” items to our winter looks, or if we are traveling get that look for our winter holiday destination.

Here are some of my favorite designs in a video I created, hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions, don’t for to Ask V







I would like to share the following poem from a good friend. Hopefully she will write some more on our soon to come website @ Xtravagans Lifestyle section.



Life and Friendships

Friends are stars sent from above,
To share your joy & sprinkle some love,
Because life is full of highs and lows,
And you need them near to soften the blows.

No matter the sadness or stress you feel,
A chat with a friend can make you heal,
Better then that is a glass of wine,
And before you know it life seems fine!

A true friend is always there by your side,
And hangs on tight during life’s roller coaster ride,
And when suddenly the skies turn grey for a while,
It’s never long before a friend makes you smile.

So we musn’t forget all the laughter and tears,
Or the memories we’ve shared over the years,
Because life is about the people you love,
And friends are angels sent from above.

The best of Cruise Collection




Europeans call it Cruise collection, the Americas call it Resort Collection but in the end it is the same.  For those of you that do not know the Cruise collection is created for people that travel in December/January to places like Palm Beach, Aspen, Caribbean to name a few.  Most designers feel inspired by the warm weather and Cruise locations, and others focus more on the Ski resorts.


What is great about Cruise is that it feels like a breath of fresh air in the middle of the cold season, where bright colours and prints bring sunshine into your life and makes your wardrobe more fun.


So if you are planning to travel to any of these places or somewhere similar, here are some of my favourite pieces.
