Fantasy Island: Cruelty-free Fashion Finds for Dreamy Summer Getaways

It's not quite June yet, but that can't keep a creative mind from wandering off to our very own Fantasy Island. Whether your designer-version of summertime includes palm-shaded poolside chaise-lounge, a tall glass of iced-tea, and a Kindle loaded with juicy memoirs, or a stroll along ancient cobbled streets of the Italian riviera with your vintage Leica and a Moleskine notebook in hand, there's an outfit to match your mood, your budget, and your commitment to do-no-harm style. Pack these warm-weather fashion finds into your overnight bag and let the Fantasy-Island hopping begin!

A one-piece suit has its own special allure; namely, it can do double duty as a chic top paired with shorts, skirts, or trousers.

These high-quality vegan leather mini-heels are stylish, comfy, and will go with everything in your summer closet.

Since this is Fantasy Island, there's no reason why we shouldn't wear spendy Stella McCartney. The Amal trouser is made from fast-drying synthetic fabric, so that white wine you spilled on one leg? No big deal.

Did you catch Parker Posey's red carpet moment at Cannes? This YSL turban is channeling what she was channeling: Old-school Fabulosity.

More down-to-earth, price-wise, yet still loaded with glamor is this Biba coverup. Reflecting the brand's vintage '70s roots, this piece is 100% Polyester.

Simplicity is sometimes the way to go. This 100% cotton maxi breathes, so you can sweat it out, naturally.

Oversized hat = functional fashion, protecting your skin and hair from the sun's sizzling rays while radiating beachside sophistication.

Undies are optional on Fantasy Island, but a bright bikini is not. This one gives plenty of retro style and good coverage.

This loose, colorful made-in-'Merica maxi is a little bit I-Love-Lucy with a dash of Italian Riviera.

Super sexy eyewear that keeps your eyes protected from UV rays? I'll take two pairs! Karen Walker's dramatic shades are hard to resist.
