Camilla Resort wear

I’d first spotted Camilla resort wear last year when I snapped up a beach cover up for a trip to St Barts with the gals. When we arrived in Sydney last week, our hostess Lizzie happened to bring up mention of this Australian brand and wondered whether it had reached UK shores – apparently Oprah is a fan, so I suspect global domination will shortly follow and we will not be able to open a magazine (yes I still do that even though I love a good iPad mag) without seeing this brand.

This week when we landed in The One & Only Hayman Island resort I was interested to see that there was a perfectly timed trunk show going on here where the Camilla style guru Sarah was holding mini teach-ins for us all to learn about the amazing versatility of this glam but boho beachwear brand.

I love a good trunk show at the best of times, but when you throw in a glass of fizz and some professional styling tips then I’m all in. If I’d have known back in St Barts that my humble kaftan could have converted into a halterneck dress for the evening, I’d definitely have thrown a few more of these cuties into my Net-a-Porter shopping cart.

Using silk and crepe fabrics you can knot, tuck and cinch these babies in a hundred and one ways to give you oodles of styling choices. Check out the Camilla styling videos here. They also pack like a dream and you can scrunch them into your bag safe in the knowledge that they will come out crease free.
