the Spotlight is Yours:
Meet Toile de Reef 

Where effortless sophistication meets laid-back luxury, the Toile de Reef print is a stand out example of timeless elegance. A delicate combination of blue and white sits on a pristine white backdrop. This chic print was made for exploring coastal towns while breathing in salty sea air. From AvA classics to just-launched styles, the print comes on a variety of graceful silhouettes.

“I love the reefs. I always have. I’ve been lucky enough to paint the reef a few times, always trying to find a new angle. This time I was struck by the delicate colors paired with bold seafans – thus this white and blue print with different sized mix-matched sea fans was born. I hope this print brings you as much joy as it brings me.” - Ala

Our Darlings: Caterina and Elaine 

And the award for “Most Reached For in the Day to Day” goes to the Caterina basics. Our Caterina Tank Top offered in the Toile de Reef print pairs with everything from the matching Elaine Pants to jeans to a wide leg trouser to your favorite tennis skirt. Just as versatile, the Caterina Dresses, now offered in a mini length, can be worn on their own or layered under some of our gorgeous mesh outer layers. Basics never looked so good.

Meet Marlo

We can’t stop talking about the Marlo Dress. This chic shirtdress with a tie waist makes everyone the center of attention. Plus the lightweight cotton will help you beat the heat. The dress, while delicate, carries an understated boldness that adds a sophisticated touch to any wardrobe. What we love most about the Marlo is its ability to be worn in any location from the sunshine of the Caribbean, the colorful beaches of Mexico City, or the streets of Palm Beach. Thanks to the tie waist, it becomes customizable to any body shape.

Go-To Gena

For the days you’re running out the door, the Gena Tunic offers effortless sophistication in no time. The wide sleeve, brilliant blue silk trim, and free-flowing structure, makes for a top you’ll have on repeat. We’re wearing the blouse with the Gabriele Pants in White one day, jeans the next, and then with a mini skirt the next.

Artsy Artemisia

Ideally part of a Toile de Reef signature set, the best-selling Artemisia Sheer Poncho is flirty, free-flowing, and delicately graceful. With wrinkle-free fabric, this stunner is a staple when packing for vacation. Perfect for over a swimsuit while enjoying your travels, we’re also layering it with pairings like the Elaine Pants and Caterina Tank Top or the Caterina Mini, all in the to-die-for blue and white print. For something more subdued, layer the poncho over our Caterina and Gabriele Pants in White. Built as one size fits all, we love offering the piece as a gift around the holidays and to our maternity friends!

Our Favorite: Rachel

A longtime favorite in the AvA community, the Rachel Poncho has never failed us. From outdoor weddings to beach bum itineraries to securing best dressed at the work dinner, this ankle-skimming sheer poncho is refreshed in the chic Toile de Reef print. With inspiration coming from the coral reef, we recommend taking this look out for a spin as close to the water as possible. Lounge by the pool with the poncho over your suit or wear the free-flowing silhouette over your Caterina Long Dress for a gala.

“This print is one of our most elegant staples. I can’t wait to see how the women of AvA style it–maybe with delicate jewelry or bold handbags. Either way, I know these will be the pieces women come back to time and time again to feel confident, elegant, and effortless.” -Ala
