Arielle Charnas x Anna Kosturova
Fashion and lifestyle blogger Arielle Charnas of Something Navy was recently rocking our Gypsy Princess Skirt in gold on her Miami beach vacation
As a busy working Mom of two, Arielle enjoyed some much deserved, early morning beach fun with her family in Miami over the Holidays. Never one to sacrifice style, she kept it cool at the beach in our Gypsy Princess skirt in gold!
Arielle wore the skirt as a beach cover-up over her super cute floral bathing suit. The gold is a perfect neutral cover-up and can be worn over almost any colour. It has the most beautiful, subtle gold filament in the crochet weave which give any look a little shine.
The Gypsy Princess skirt worn as a cover-up is just about the easiest thing to style you'll ever own - just throw on and go.
You can also opt for the Gypsy Skirt in black, vintage rose or white if you prefer the style without the flash.
It's such an easy, chic piece that can be thrown on over a bikini at the beach or pool and then worn as a skirt (with the detachable slip under) out to dinner or drinks... or dancing! This skirt is the ideal piece to pack for warm weather beach vacation.
We love to pair it with the Gypsy Crop Top or even just a simple t-shit or tank.

We were thrilled to recently see our best-selling Marsala Crochet Maxi Dress featured in Vogue Online's picks for Chicest Beach Staples for a Winter Getaway!
Read their article below on how to plan an epic winter getaway and what to wear.
The fast-approaching holidays may be occupying all of your attention (and finances) at the moment, but looking past that, the time to plan a winter getaway is now. This is the best time of the year to travel to tropical destinations, as flights from January to March are usually cheaper, and the weather outside is dreadful, which means a beach vacation is calling! Whether you’ve got a jaunt to the Cayman Islands in mind, where all of the fashion insiders are flocking, or a trip to the Maldives, Google’s top-trending vacation spot of 2019, you’ll need the following items for a successful getaway wardrobe.
Luckily, it’s also sale season—the perfect opportunity to score half-off deals on the chicest vacation staples. Soaking in the sun on the beach—with a proper SPF, of course!—will require a stylish beach tote to fit your book, water bottle, and more. There’s a number of affordable straw bags and water-durable totes on the market. A variety of swimwear styles are on major discount right now too. Come evening, your vacation dinners and cocktail hours will also require a dressy summer shoe and elegant sundress—and, you guessed it, those are all marked down as well.
If MyTheresa .com is sold out of this dress, you can still find it on our website as we stock this style all year round.
This dress of course comes with a removable lining, so you can wear it from the beach straight to dinner! See our crochet Marsala Stripe dress as worn and styled by Dani Kremeniuk and photographed by Zebulon Austin in Tulum.

Did we mention we love anything with seashells? It just so happens that shell embellishment is one of the hottest fashion trends right now! And we vote it's a trend that's here to stay.
Channel your inner mermaid with these amazing shell-trimmed styles that will work in any vacation destination spot this holiday, this coming summer, and many more sunny escapes for years to come.
Featured: Falling for Cairo
We're taking the Cairo top from summer and straight into fall...
Obviously, this top is an MVP in the summertime. It's one of our go-to tops to pair with cutoffs or boyfriend denim. But we absolutely loved styling it for the cooler fall days.
Toughen up the feminine crochet neckline detail and off-shoulder style with paper bag leather pants and a pair of cowboy inspired boots.
An easy way to keep your look classic is to go tonal. Wear all one colour or mix basics like black and white for an easy outfit that takes no time but looks chic and put-together.
The Cairo top in cream is so romantic. Pairing it with leather makes for a really elevated and fashion-forward combo.
The Cairo also comes in the most beautiful dusty rose. Pair with every shade of denim and go sneakers for day or booties for evening.
Goldfish Kiss x Anna Kosturova: Maui Chill
If we can't be hanging at a cute coffee & crepe house on the Hawaiian island of Maui ourselves, let us at least read about Rebekah Steen of Goldfish Kiss doing it.
Artist and Lifestyle blogger Rebekah Steen is rockin our signature handmade crochet Baha Hoodie the way we intended it to be worn - chill & chic.
Enjoying gourmet coffee in the cutest coffee spot on Maui, Rebekah is wearing her Baja hoodie with simple denim cutoffs and gold metalic flip flops.
For the cooler Fall weather we like to warm this look up by layering our hoodies over long-sleeves, throwing on our favourite pair of jeans and some boots to match.
As Seen In Elle UK
Elle UK recently featured our Tie-Dye Silk Maxi dresses (available exclusively on MyTheresa.com!) in an editorial story on how the Tie Dye trend is here to stay...
Our favourite thing about these dresses is how they effortlessly go from day to night. These maxi dresses can be worn with flat gladiator sandals at the beach, with a lightweight sweater overtop for sundown, or with heels and statement jewelry for a fancy night out. A beach day, a Sunday stroll after brunch, or even a formal event. This dress does all work.
Tie-Dye has been everywhere this season. We are loving it as a dress as well as skirts, rompers, blouses and even harem pants.

The Elle UK story shows none other than supermodel Kendall Jenner rocking the tie-dye trend as well while at an NBA basketball game supporting her boyfriend Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers. Jenner's take on the tie-dye trend is casual and comfy, which is absolutely perfect for a court-side basketball game.

Irina Shayk x Anna Kosturova
Irina Shayk was recently seen rocking the Zen Mesh Maxi Dress while on vacation in Ibiza!
There is SO much we are loving about her beach style - starting of course with the fact that she's rocking one of our best selling dresses.
Combining the modern, edgy look of a neon bikini with the handmade crochet neutral dress is so fresh and cool. The contrast is just right - especially for Ibiza where the party energy goes on all day and night against the backdrop of the natural beauty of the small Spanish island.
And most important for any stylish Mama, Irina's look is both comfortable and chic. You can always look put together while keeping it easy and no-fuss. Case in point: one stop shop with a maxi dress. Wear it for drinks and dinner in the evening with the removable liner underneath.
And we love the bucket hat - so on trend! Definitely provides excellent sun protection coverage.

She is the epitome of elegance. Her style is legendary. Ladies and Gentleman, Grace Kelly...
Who better to channel this summer than Grace Kelly? Elle Italia suggests wearing our Penelope cotton kaftan (available at mytheresa.com) to do just this.
We are thrilled to be mentioned in Elle Italia's latest article on Grace Kelly and her timeless beach style. Read on for a Google Translate english edition of the Italian magazines article. And, if you are fluent in Italian, click here of the original post!
How the Grace Kelly cover-up wore no one (I might as well learn for Summer 2019) This photo of Princess Grace Kelly with white cover-ups is the essence of the style of yesterday, today and tomorrow
We don't hear the sounds of the beach, we don't feel the heat or the light wind passing between our hands, the grains sticking to our feet, we don't know what Grace Kelly was doing in this shot of years ago - it was 1978 in Ocean Beach City. What we know is that this photo is one of the fashion stories of other times, one of the many moments of style that belonged to the Monegasque princess, one of those moments to remember. And it is not a parenthesis entitled Grace Kelly fairy clothes, because the set here is a beach with few people, and instead of the creations of visionary couturiers, the princess wore a clear cover-up, which we imagine white, tied at the front with a knot. A pair of aviator glasses and then, who knows, maybe bare feet, maybe a pair of flip flops, maybe handmade leather slippers. What we capture and make our own of this shot, is Grace Kelly in cover-up, trendy and current as if it were a picture of today, beautiful and elegant like few women, nostalgic and romantic enough to cuddle with trendy dreams.
We choose white for its cover-up, we imagine that the decorations of this kaftan from the sea were bluette or coral, maybe meringue yellow or pastel green. We see the Grace Kelly look under a veiled light, we analyze the poetry of the photo in black and white and we choose this as a pose to analyze and appreciate all of Summer 2019. Its charm still echoes and is rediscovered today, among the collections of designers who they take it as absolute inspiration, in the current look of their niece Charlotte Casiraghi. Grace Kelly style now and forever, especially at the seaside, especially when two essential elements are enough to recreate a summer outfit like his. Choose a caftan like this, as simple as it is irresistible. Choose to hide under a swimsuit or a crochet bikini, wear sunglasses with clear lenses, just like your own. Recreate a moment many years ago, and feel beautiful.
Summer In Black! Chic wardrobe update.
It might feel counter-intuitive, but black is one of the coolest and chicest things you can wear in the summer.
White can actually be quite tough to pull off, and it's not always the most flattering colour for every skin tone. Black, however, is universally flattering. It's also a nice way to keep your summer look sophisticated and sharp. Black is one of the best things you can wear to make your summer tan really pop. Add gold jewelry and neutral-coloured accessories like a straw bag or hat and you'll be ready for anything.
Take note: Gwen Stefani ops for the Gypsy skirt in black and rocks it with her white bikini top and beige coverup. Keeping your outfit neutral means you can go wild with fun and colourful shoes and accessories. A black on black look is so clean. We paired the reversible Gypsy crop top with the black Gypsy skirt. The white shells really pop against the black top and skirt.
In our opinion, a black bikini is one of the sexiest beach looks ever. The Seashore Angel crochet bikini top and bottom looks striking in black. Choosing a simple style in black embellished with the genuine cowrie shells ads organic feel to the silhouette and softens the toughness of black lines.
Wear it with one of our fave tops - the Bella Ballerina crop top. It works as a stylish coverup or as the perfect crop top for a night out. Style it with a pair of high rise, light wash, destroyed denim. The pale blue and black make for a chic, unexpected pairing. Keep footwear clean and simple (like flat gladiator sandals) and add chunky gold jewelry and a bright lip.
A Perfect summer dress doesn't need to be short and white. A flowy light weight cotton dress in black is just as ideal for those hot summer days and nights. The lacy crochet inserts will keep you cool! Pair the Filigree halter maxi dress with sun-kissed skin and beachy hair for an elevated, relaxed August evening look.
And if you're in the mood for something a little more playful, throw on a black crochet crop top - like this Daring lace halter top - with the Filigree maxi skirt (Bonus! This Maxi skirt can also be worn as a strapless dress).
Happy Shopping!
Goldfish Kiss x Anna Kosturova: Costa Rica Edition
Summer is a magical time of year. It might even be our favourite.
Rebekah Steen of Goldfish Kiss recently took our Santorini Off Shoulder top away with her to Costa Rica and wrote a blog about easy summer style and beauty that we absolutely loved. It's all about feeling beautiful in your own skin; amplified only by sunshine, salt water and beachy hair.
Read on for relaxed-boho-beach summer inspiration...
NO MAKEUP. NO BRA. NO PROBLEM.
BY REBEKAH STEEN
We just got back from Costa Rica, and I can say I thoroughly enjoyed putting zero effort into anything but soaking it all up.
I think I washed my face about four times in ten days, and my beauty routine consisted of showering, combing my hair and slathering on coconut oil when the day was done. I bought some waterproof mascara just for the trip and failed to even use that. Hallelujah.
I pretty much just rocked bikinis the entire time. or well-ventilated clothes over bikinis, and gosh, you know you’ve found your style when you just feel great and it takes very minimal effort. Not surprisingly, that seems to happen frequently in tropical locations.
Which, in the case of this getup was exactly the situation.
No makeup (except for salt, sand and humid air) No bra (only bikinis), No worries. (Except for who gets to surf next or who had Levi duty. Ok, and when we are going back.) I think I kept flip flop wearing to a bare minimum too.
Highly recommend it.
Less is more. Oh so more. Gracias to this beautiful tropical climate for always reminding me of that.

10 Best White Summer Dresses
Easy, breezy, throw on and go - that's the vibe we want this summer - but make it fashion and make it chic.
There's only one piece of clothing that can do it all for you this summer (and it's literally just one piece) and that's a summer dress. Here are our favourites for you to rock all summer long:
A fun, bohemian take on a classic mini dress silhouette. The dramatic sleeves and feather-like lacy stitch gives this a really unique look.
A shorter hemline and longer bell shaped sleeves go perfectly together. Especially in love with the wide, drawstring neckline. This dress has major flare, we picture Jane Birkin wearing this dress while strolling through the streets of Saint Tropez
Perfect for a romantic evening. So very "mid-summer nights dream-esque." This dress looks amazing with a boater straw hat.
Day chic, when you want something a little more elevated than a mini dress but still want to stay cool. The open back adds a little va-va-voom.
How amazing is this silhouette!? This could be used for a special event or evening (hello, summer engagement party), fancied up with beautiful jewelry and shoes - or worn with elegant flats for a pretty day look.
This one has it all. Adorable body-con, mini length, flattering crochet peak-a-boo waistline, and halter back. This one will be on repeat with sneakers, sandals, wedges, and heels.
So simple, so sexy. It comes with a removable liner and has the most beautiful crochet-encased button from bodice and a tassel drawstring tie at the back.
Wear it off-the-shoulder or as a slip dress, this unique maxi would make for an ideal beach wedding look.
Lacy and romantic, this tiered mini dress has a body-con fit and a beautifully accentuated waist. And of course, it's inspired by the one and only Ariana Grande.
This Victorian lace inspired handmade crochet mini dress is so diverse. Keep your look pretty and romantic or toughen it up with boots and a denim jacket.
Summer in Cadaqués
This lookbook is a celebration of travel and the transformative effect it can have on one's life. It's the story of a girl who falls in love with the little Spanish town of Cadaqués.
What started as a short trip turns into an entire summer of adventure. As she walks the beaches, swims in the ocean, and explores the town she also explores her own life. At once she discovers the world, she discovers herself...
With travel comes a refreshing kind of freedom. Freedom from our old ways, from sameness, from routine.
Travel detaches us from the known and throws us into the unknown. This is where we learn, grow, discover. Here we can feed our souls, our minds, our bodies and our creativity. Travel is where we blossom.
Eyes set on new things, new sights, new ways of living, allowing us to decide what works best for us, what works for who we truly are.
What is more refreshing than summer whites? The chic simplicity of it allows you to go anywhere and do anything and always be dressed for the occasion. Follow your journey in bohemian summer whites by Anna Kosturova.

Check out our crochet in the June issue of Elle Canada!
Worn by Dominican model Arlenis Sosa, shot by Max Abadian and styled by Corey Ng. This dreamy & magical editorial really captures the easy, chic summer style we love.
We love the volume play here. Crochet pairs perfectly with other conservative pieces. The juxtaposition of big, voluminous pants with an open knit tops makes for a balanced look.
Beach and/or pool ready in the Emma Bell bottoms. Layering these pants over a bikini is the coolest new way to cover-up by the water.
The Gypsy skirt with a crop top is one of our favourite looks for hot summer nights. Add a woven bag and big jewelry to complete the look.
