MAX IT
For every woman who never
thought she could pull off wearing
a maxi dress (and those who
already do), Soma's Faye Maxi
Dress is it. Known for catering to
women with a fit for every body,
Soma also thrills with the heavenly
feel of their silky-soft creations.
The Faye's sash halter is removable
to convert to a strapless bandeau,
making it perfect for lounging
poolside or dressing up for
cocktails. Available in Retreat Blue
(shown) and Streaming Scroll. $89.

($59.50) gives it a fresh, sophisticated spin, and the cotton-linen
blend makes it a standout for garden parties at the club. (Area J.
