We're dying for Mara Hoffman's print bustier bikini set and loving on the vintage vibe of this pale pink dress from Phillip Lim's Resort 2011 collection. For extra panache, pack your carry-on with a cool printed tee from Sass & Bide — which can double as a minidress coverup, a yellow snakeskin tote from Beirn Jenna, Paloma Barceló espadrilles, and Chloe sunnies.

Georgina Chapman turned out her largest resort collection to date for Marchesa, having fun with tribal motifs mixed with her signature feminine details like feathers, fringe, beading, and hand embroidery. “Combining a tribal look with the kind of dresses we usually do made everything seem playful," said Chapman, who is seven months pregnant. In addition to the tribal theme there was a strong '60s moment in the graphic swing dresses worn with matching cropped leggings, black turbans, and armfuls of chunky bangles.

"All women want to be different," said Alber Elbaz at the close of his resort collection for Lanvin. According to his cruise lineup, they also want multifunctional fashion. Heavy on transformable pieces—a draped one-piece swimsuit doubles as a "robe de yacht" with the addition of a mini skirt and turns into a more evening appropriate dress when paired with a knee-length swing skirt. There were also reversible cocktail looks, which go from basic black sheaths to tulle and ruffle embellished chiffon dresses with one simple zip. Clearly Elbaz has been thinking of a modern girl and her many wardrobe needs.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts, Kate Hudson, and Helena Christensen sat front row at Stella McCartney's resort presentation and garden party at Gavin Brown's Enterprise in New York this week. Models posed in staged vignettes (a chess match, a photo shoot) and guests sipped margaritas to the tunes of a serenading a cappella group. McCartney's collection for resort, heavy on the botanical prints, was a perfect match for the surroundings—floral short suits, a colorful collection of mini cocktail looks, and the crisp tailored jackets (this season in salmon, azure, and white) for which the designer is known. Lace, another McCartney staple, looked fresh in a pair of navy shorts, a dusty rose top, and a long sleeved cocktail look in off-white

An Oscar de la Renta runway show (held since 2008 at 583 Park Avenue in a former church) is the most elegant interpretation of showing a collection that New York has to offer. Models glide their way down a raised runway in what feels like an intimate presentation of the past—often with a live orchestra as soundtrack. Today, the designer is live-streaming his resort collection (at 1PM EST) for all to enjoy, on a select number of fashion sites, this one included. As Mr. de la Renta recently explained, this is his way of inviting all of you to 583 Park Avenue: "I think that this is where the real power of the internet lies, allowing anyone anywhere to interact with your brand, shifting what has traditionally been kept private to the public space. I suppose it’s a bit like adding more seats to the venue."

The video player above will reveal the Oscar de la Renta resort 2011 collection, beginning at 1PM EST.

Resort is all about the print for Frida Giannini's Gucci. Tiger stripes in khaki, army green and gray along with an iconic Gucci belt and chain print covered much of the resort collection's skinny pantsuits, slim strapless dresses, and one-piece swimwear. Giannini showed hints of inspiration from the Seventies, a decade not lost on Karl Lagerfeld's recent ressort collection for Chanel.
