Time for a Vacation: Resort Wear & Cover Ups

Now that the holidays are over and we’ve said goodbye to 2012, many people are welcoming 2013 with a little treat for themselves – a vacation! Whether you will be flying in a plane, cruising on a ship or finding a little piece of paradise at home, the center of all your plans should be relaxation and comfort. With Serene Comfort’s line of resort wear including cover ups, beach dresses and loungers, you won’t have the stress of searching high and low for the right clothes to relax in.

If you’re flying away to a tropical island, a beautiful warm resort or maybe just to rediscover the beach, the last thing you want to worry about is how you look. With all the fabulous styles Serene Comfort has to offer in their line of Resort Wear & Cover Ups, you won’t have to! From cover ups to sundresses to caftans, there is something for everyone and for all sizes.

Walking around town or hanging by the boardwalk, you can wander around in a beautiful short dress from Peppermint Bay. This simple feminine dress has cutely gathered cap sleeves and an A-line style that is flattering on any figure. Just throw this on over your bathing suit and you are ready from day to night. Careful of that bright sun, though! If you aren't used to the extreme rays from the sun, a simple shrug can help protect your skin from burns. Offering a variety of colors, these cute shrugs from Eagle Ray Traders can be matched with any dress or top!

When the night comes, blend in with the rich paradise setting in a gorgeous short Batik Rio sundress by Bali Batik with its beautifully hand-painted green and coral print and unique tiered flounce hem (Pictured left). For a less bold approach, try the Blue Crystalline maxi dress, a stunning long sleeveless dress with a striking print of blue and white from Peppermint Bay (Pictured right).

Or maybe you’re sailing off on a ship for a nice week long cruise? With the changing temperatures between the air conditioned rooms to the sunny outdoors to the windy nights, you’ll need something that can help you through all kinds of temperature. Escapada’s White Coral caftan made from cool and crisp rayon is the perfect solution! With its kimono sleeves and full length, this caftan is airy for a cool comfort, but covers the body enough so you won’t get burned by the sun and won’t be bothered by a gust of wind. This beautifully printed kimono caftan also features a drawstring, allowing for a flattering fit.

If you aren’t a fan of caftans, however, there is also the option of a sleeveless long dress or a maxi skirt. Both offer the same coverage from the sun and a length that will keep you protected from the cool night air. With a variety of styles and colors from popular names such as La Cera and Treasures of Bali, you’ll be sure to find one you’ll fall in love with. And as beautiful as they are, you’ll also find yourself comfortable and relaxed – a combination that is perfect for every vacation.

Just looking for some relaxation at home? Caftans are a wonderful pick for that! With their spacious easy on fits and their soft smooth fabrics, caftans make the best loungers. With many different prints, fabrics and styles, you can find the perfect one for you! Serene Comfort has a great selection of caftans from popular names such as Peppermint Bay, Oscar de la Renta, Natori, Winlar and Sante in both long and short lengths. Maybe you want to hang out by the poolside or at your local beach – then a cover up is the choice for you! One of our most popular items is the Jessica Taylor crinkle beach cover up. With the long length providing great coverage and their unique tie-dye prints, these simple yet stylish beach cover ups are a favorite among our customers! But hurry before they’re all gone!

Whatever the occasion, don’t let your clothes ruin your good times! With Serene Comfort line of Resort Wear, you’ll find comfort and style at a great value.

Holiday Gifts for 2012: Serenecomfort Employee Picks

It’s the time for gift giving once more and to avoid the hustle and bustle of the December crowd, more and more people are turning to online shopping. But what exactly do you buy for your loved ones? How about something warm and cozy that they can enjoy year after year?

Cozy, warm, beautiful and, most of all, practical sleepwear and clothing has been filling the Serene Comfort warehouses for the past two months. Our staff has been eyeing our new winter lines and doing their own holiday shopping. As shoppers themselves, they’ve happily decided to share their picks with you and hope you can spread some joy as well!

1. Terry has been raving about the Stan Herman bed jacket that she has bought for an aunt. Not only Terry, but her cousins and mother have also found themselves falling in love with these warm delights in both the Antique Rose pink and Seafoam green. These make a perfect gift to those who find the traditional robes too bulky – bed jackets are the perfect amount of coverage whether you’re lying in bed or having your morning coffee. Terry has also already snagged a pair of her favorite Lanz of Salzburg cotton flannel pajamas as a holiday gift to herself as well!

2. Mari has already purchased three sets of Microfleece pajamas from Karen Neuburger for herself and for her loved ones the same day they made their debut on the site! But who could blame her with their cute prints and cuddly soft feel? These make wonderful gifts for anyone – our staff has purchased these for their teenage daughters to their mothers. If you want one, you better hurry because they are flying out the door!

3. Katie is a fan of our brand new line of shrugs. With the various colors we offer, these shrugs are perfect to add a little flare to a plain dress or to extend the wearing season for those sleeveless dresses. With their light and easy to wear comfort, these shrugs give you just the right amount of coverage so you aren’t too hot or too cold. Let’s face it, not all of us are fond of our arms either. This adds a stylish cover that will leave you feeling confident in the way you look. As a gift for others, this is an easy stocking stuffer or an addition to a dress.

4. Kathy has been waiting for our winter lines to start her holiday shopping with flannel nightgowns – liking the soft dreamy feel of both the Eileen West and the Lanz flannels. These are a favorite of our customers and our staff during these cold months. In various colors, including many popular holiday prints, these cotton flannel nightgowns are as stylish and flattering as they are warm and cozy. There’s nothing more relaxing after a hard day’s work surviving the cold winter day then cuddling up in your warm flannel gown.

5. Cheryl has bought herself (as a gift from her husband which seems the most foolproof way for a happy wife) a beautiful heather brocade sleepshirt in a rich dark lavender. For her, sleepshirts are perfect with their short length for an ease of movement and still keep her warm. So if you are a lover of short gowns and boyfriend sleepshirts, we have plenty of different kinds of nightshirts for you – both short sleeve and long sleeve! With their flowing fit, these make for an easy holiday gift without worrying over the size.

6. Debbie has found herself falling in love with the new Crystal Palace Jess & Jane tunic top. As one of the newest trends in casual style with their intricate and beautiful patterns and unique hemline, tunics have become very popular with jeans, slacks, leggings, or however you’d like to wear them. Many tunics are versatile enough to be worn as a cover up! Two styles for the price of one! With over extensive collection of tunics, we are sure to have a favorite for every woman on your holiday shopping list!

7. Nicole recommends the peignoir sets and robe/gown sets. In particular, she has her eyes on the white Shadowline Silhouette ivory set as a bridal gift for her soon-to-be sister-in-law. With its gorgeous off white color and stunning stretch lace bodice, this set makes the perfect wedding present for a bride.

8. For Cathy, she finds the extensive nightgown selection to be her favorite. In particular, the Woodland Floral Vine printed nightgowns by Eileen West has become a favorite of hers on her holiday list. Made of a “Dreamtime Jersey” 100% cotton knit, this gown has a heavenly soft feel. Eileen West is a brand that our staff trusts to provide quality comfort and uncompromising attention to details. Hurry though, this nightgown is a hot item and it’s going fast!

9. Jen’s pick is the stunning Wind Song Caftan by Santé in a silky smooth satin charmeuse. With its unique contrast of colors and simple embellishment of beading along the neckline, this caftan is perfect for lounging in, whether it’s at home or by the pool. Because it is one size fits most, gifting this caftan to another is made easy without having to fuss over getting the correct size and with a price under $30, it fits any budget!

10. The luxuriously soft to the touch Tencel Dress by Tianello is a favorite of Kris. With its simplistic style and calming blue hue, you can wear this dress in many different ways – with boots, heels, shrugs, jackets, however you want!
