Blissful Byron...wishing I had some Thakoon Resort 2010

So I am back from my beautiful extended long weekend at Byron Bay - where it's perenially warm. Even though it's Winter Down Under, in Byron, it was a beautiful sunny week with low 20's temp, allowing hubby & I to soak some sun rays & unwind...Our 'busy itinerary' consisted of:

waking up - eating - lying on the beach - eating - lying on the beach - eating - sleeping

Hard life, but someone's got to do it, right?

I'm usually behind with absorbing fashion shows as they unfold, but a quick perusal of the Resort 2010 collections has led me to clearly identify my favourite so far. Thakoon Panichgul's beautifully relaxed collection included drapeing, gathering, pleating and beautiful plissé in gorgeous prints & soft sun-drenched colours...

I would love to have any of these in my suitcase next time I go on a beachside getaway...

PS. In danger of sounding like a broken record, thank you SO SO much everyone for your sweet words & votes! I was stumped to return and find out I won Nini's competition! You are all amazing!

  8. Congratulations!!!!
    The collection is heaven! Love the colors and the shapes! Still did not find the time to browse through all resort collections... love them more than the "runway" collections as the pieces are simple more versatile to wear!

    Beautiful blessings,

  15. Hi Brigadeiro!! :)
    Thanks for your lovely comment. YAY, the collection of Thakoon has catched my attention at all! I wasn't a big fan of Thakoon before, only of a single piece here and there and this is the first collection which is blowing me away.
    You've picked out a very beautiful collection!!

  16. Oiiiii. Where to begin? First.... congratulations for winning the comp...
    Thanks for the lovely birthday wishes. I had a wonderful time full of celebrations and presents!
    how is your course going, I want to hear all about. I can't believe you just spent a week in Byron, one of my best friends lives there and we are constantly getting invitations to spend some time there but God knows when hubby is going to have a holiday.

    LOVE Thakoon Resort... it's so beautiful and vibrant. I particularly like the baby blue strapless dress.... it's like candy.
