Summer weather is far from over in Los Angeles, and all I want to throw on are light weight cotton voile dresses. It seems to be the best way to beat the heat. In my search for new and fresh dresses, I came across Banjanan. Caroline Weller’s designs are inspired by the textiles and printing techniques found in the vibrant markets of India. Weller’s Jaipur-based brand, Banjanan (means bohemian wanderer in Hindi), is hand-stitched by skilled artisans into each and every piece. I picked up my first one a couple a weeks ago and I absolutely love it! See below for some of my favorite pieces.
