Tommy Bahama It’s time for a new season and we are moving from the fast-past Waikiki to a place of rest and recharge: Sea Ranch. We chose this location because it’s the California nobody knows. In fact, sparsely populated and still pristine, it’s almost the Anti-California. It sits 100 miles north of San Francisco in a place few people come to. Its isolation made it an artist’s haven; writers like Robinson Jeffers and Henry Miller came here to find their inspiration. Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of coastal living, Tommy Bahama is dedicated to the good life. Stylish, upscale offerings include apparel for men and women, footwear, jewelry, accessories and home décor, all designed to help you relax in style.
Free-spirited fall style Johnny Was Inspired by the exotic, the Johnny Was Fall 2015 Collection embodies global cool. Try one of our signature embroidered tunic tops in rich Marsala red, styled with printed pants or faux-leather leggings. Ward off the Fall weather in one of our statement embroidered wrap cardigans or a luxe printed velvet jacket. Escaping the cold instead? Johnny Was offers resort-ready printed silk caftans and cotton peasant blouses to add to your packing list. Inspired by the quintessential California bohemian lifestyle, JOHNNY WAS creates beautifully crafted, timeless clothing and accessories for the sophisticated free spirit. Vibrant signature prints and exclusive embroidery designs adorn relaxed tunic tops and flowy maxi dresses; unique pieces you’ll treasure for years to come. (678) 254-0623 www.johnnywas.com
