find it for me - Tolani Ginger silk tunic dress

So here is a fashion finding mission – Jessica Alba’s gorge silk beach tunic. LOVE.  I already have an inkling that it is a Tolani tunic (as I already have one other of their lovely dresses) – and a little bit of google digging confirms YES it is a Tolani tunic. Silk too – bit ooh la la for the beach but if it works for Jessica I'm all for it. Called their ‘Ginger tunic’ – there are actually quite a few places you can pick up this little ditty – with eBay being the cheapest (I would expect nothing less my friend), followed by Revolve Clothing (great site for picking up some lesser known American labels) and Tea Leaf Clothing (don’t know much about this site but it stocks the item so good on it!).  This is really a stunning dress that is perfect for this fabulous beach weather we are currently having.. and being silk and go from beach to bar quicker than you can scrunch that beach hair. Tolani has a website – http://www.tolanicollection.com; which shows their gorgeous scarfs and some other products, but sadly does not sell any of their silk tunics.

                      

I have previously hunted down their silk Mosaic tunic which I saw on Nikki Hilton.. Not normally my go-to fashionista, but in this case Nikki is actually a big fan of Tolani’s range and is often seen rocking their tunics with a more ladylike vibe – which is great news for a recovering boho addict desperately trying to move gracefully into Parisienne ladylike chic. So I had been watching a few on eBay and tossing up whether to take the plunge, when a trip into the city to an unsuccessful Nevenka sample sale lead me past a pop-up store in little Collins. And lo and behold – there on the first rack was the Tolani Mosaic silk tunic I had been coveting! And for the bargain price of $75 – SOLD (note – check out if this is still there – also stocked Gypsy 05, Winter Kate, Fluxus and House of Harlow stuff, of which yes I also stocked up!). This is it:

I do HATE the white bag and studded belt that she has teamed with it.. I think this is what was making me afraid to commit – just SO Hilton!  This dress looks amazing teamed with tan – I don’t belt it and wear it off the shoulders flamenco-esque, HOT.  Oh snapped up these Dico Copenhagen tan leather wedges today (did someone say $60 + $15 postage NEW (eBay)) which will look FAB teamed with both these Tolani dresses - cant wait to receive them!
