Never in a million years did we think we would ever wear something from Tommy Bahama, a brand that we have historically associated with 55 year old wealthy retired men in Orange County whose favorite past time is deep sea fishing (don't ask us how we built that image in our heads - we just did).

However, the Blue Coral dress, though not completely changing our idea, at least gives us a reason to perhaps try Tommy Bahama. The navy blue halter dress has ivory embroidered embellishments at the high waistline (more like the bottom of the bustline), and the hem falls 31" from the natural neckline. We love the femininity of the full skirt and the embroidery detai that are paired with a little bit of a plunging neckline. We like this dress paired with comfortably cute flats for a Sunday afternoon brunching and shopping with Mom and Dad.

The dress is available from Nordstrom for $198.

Fragrances that evoke the scent of a particular locale seem to be hot lately. Michael Kors wants to take you to Hawaii, now Tommy Bahama wants to take you on an olfactory tour of St. Barts. Their new fragrances for both men and women are Set Sail St. Barts, two limited edition scents that will be on sale this spring. The men's scent is citrusy with notes of tequila, lime, guava and volcanic musk. The women's scent includes notes of tequila sorbet, lime, white musk and Guaiac wood from the hills of St. Bart's. The packaging looks a bit like something you might find in a seaside souvenir shop, the bottle top is covered in netting for a buoy-like effect and the boxes feature a mermaid design. The cologne spray for men and the eau de parfum for women sell for $52.50 each.
