Averie Sleeveless Cotton-Poplin Midi Dress

Selfridges Says: Even if you're not lucky enough to actually call LA home, the designs of ANINE BING do much to imbue the laid-back feeling of a life lived within reach of the SoCal beaches. Take the Averie dress, for instance. An easy-breezy cotton number suspended by slim spaghetti straps, it falls to a calf-grazing hem with a flounced panel. The minimal detailing means more accessories; we'd go for a slim-linked gold chain and platform sandals.
