Raffia is raging right now, its drenching the summer lines in straw, woven bags, big hats and lots of bright colors. Please no one tell my husband that this trend is in right now. He's been obsessing over Tommy Bahama for years and years.. Since he is only 30, instead of a 60 year old retired man, it is usually not allowed in his closet:) However the women's side has some pretty neat finds amongst the granny swim suits and sun lotion perfume, (check them out below). Dolce and Gabbana also went nuts for it during Milan fashion week, and have a whole page dedicated to it on their website. From my experience the two best, and somewhat affordable stores for this look are, Anthropologie and The Island Shop, they always have some fab island gear. For even more affordable stuff check out H&M and Zara.
This look can be worn pretty easily... mix maxi dresses or maxi skirts with woven bags and straw hats. Team linen pants with straw wedges and colorful headbands, or throw some multi-colored beads around your neck.
