When I think of vacation, an image of the beach and clear blue waters comes to mind. It doesn’t get much better than laying out by the ocean (with loads of SPF on of course) with a good book in one hand and a daquiri in the other. Now that it’s officially beach season, I’m on the search for a couple of cute caftans to throw into my suitcase as cover-ups.

This Generra caftan dress in a bright tangerine colour would be absolutely perfect for the many beach excursions I’m planning for this summer. In a breezy cotton-voile fabric with an eye-catching print, it’s vibrant, stylish and easy to throw on over a bathing suit for an afternoon stroll or while grabbing a bite to eat. $225 also available in black at Shopbop.com.
