Caftans and Cocktails are a match made in heaven! This girl loves her caftans. When the invite says cocktails, I grab a caftan! I know I will be comfortable, happy and will not be pulling on my spanx wishing I could get home! No no no! I will be smiling and feeling like the belle of the ball!

This month I am hosting my Bunco Babes and I thought let’s do caftans and cocktails! Genius I thought! I usually do think at the beginning of my ideas that I am a genius and then I usually get a big KABOOM that puts me in my place! Just like how some of the gals were a bit hesitant. Okay more like NOT ON BOARD! I let them know that I have many caftans and anyone could borrow one to get in the festive spirit. I knew once I got them in these design masterpieces, they would know how comfortable and polished they would be. All the better to sip and laugh till the clock strikes 9 pm and we all rush home like Cinderella! Not kidding one single bit!

This beautiful and fun caftan by Carolina Herrera was an absolutely FIND! I was shopping with one of my best gals when I saw this on the rack at the outlet. I hurried to the fitting room to try on and what do you know, it fit. My girlfriend then snagged the last one and we both have an amazing piece that will be in our wardrobes for years to come. And the price!!! Well my mother always said don’t talk price but let me tell you I saved close to $1000!!!!! Get ready for twin pics, not kidding. We were giddy over our shopping luck and score.

I met Carla Christoph at a trunk show hosted by those beautiful gals from Feather, Fluff and Things. Because of them, Carla and I are now collaborating on getting the word out on her designs! I knew immediately that these one of kind caftans would be the perfect match for me and for YOU! I started with two and now my lovely friend’s I have over 7 divine pieces that I treasure. From tops to kaftans Carla’s designs will be tailored to you. Where can you find this service at this price anywhere today? I have not found anything else like it and you know I search high and low. Carla says no one is too short, too tall, too anything for her pieces. So size inclusive I could cry. She will make you feel like a QUEEN! Just look at this fabric, the embroidery is simply stunning and that collar detail! YES, my loves run run run to her website and pick one up today. She even has some gems that wait for it….. are ON SALE! Oh I’ll make it so easy for you, just click HERE!

I love the color and style of this Anna Cate Caftan. Her mission is to design ageless, year round statement pieces that will transition season to season, keeping your wardrobe current yet always classic. This is perfection.

So by now you are realizing that I have a real thing for Caftans. Some friends even call me The Caftan Queen and I don’t hate it. The ease of movement, how comfortable you are, how regal you look are all selling points of this style for me. I have been collecting caftans for years. I have a Halston in black (shhh don’t tell but I think it may have been a nightgown in the late 70’s early 80’s)! I have worn it to weddings and get tons of compliments. I have a vintage Missoni that I scored off of ebay that EVERYONE wants me to sell them! Get in line honey ’cause Mama treasures this one soooo much that I am never letting go!

So tonight is Bunco and we will see how many of these gals will be wearing caftans. At the very least there will be cocktails. Ha Ha. I will keep you posted. And send me your pics of YOU in your caftans. I have an idea for a future post and it might just include YOU!

As always, thank you for stopping by.

XOXO,

Kim
