Last summer, very pregnant, I wore nothing but Mexican moo-moos in bubblegum pink, white and tangerine. This year, sans belly, I plan to do the same. Nothing suits summer more than loose, cotton dresses, sheer enough that they feel like a second skin. The ones over at Tavin, a company that reworks Victorian era pieces into charming gypsy frocks, are right up my boulevard. The LA boutique also carries gorgeous hand embroidered Baluch dresses from Afghanistan, as well as Vietnamese indigo dresses, skirts and scarves. Let the ice lolly temps begin.
