The Best Dresses from Anthropologie's 2008 Summer Collection

Summer is almost here and it's time to get ready for outings to the beach and picnics in the park. While, cute tees and denim jeans are always acceptable, nothing shows femininity more than a pretty little dress. Anthropologie has recently released their summer clothing line and the dresses are to die for. So here is a peak at some of the best dresses from Anthropologie's 2008 Summer Collection.

The Scenic Route Dress is a brown jersey dress. The dress is tiered and the top of the dress has pieces of material knotted and tied together, which give the dress a crocheted look. Price: $118.00

The Searchlight Flora Dress is a white day dress with a yellow and grey flower design on it. The empire waist gives this dress an extra girly touch and the spaghetti straps of the dress have a little knot on either side. Price: $148.00

The Crushed Satin Dress looks so elegant with its u-shaped neckline and pleated bodice. This dress also has an empire waist and comes in a color called "bloom" which is a coral-red kind of color. Price: $308.00

The Chuparosa Dress has a multi-colored flower design all over it. The heart-shaped neck, pleated fabric, and waist belt come together quite nicely to make this dress very unique. Price: $288.00

The Isla Ibiza Dress is my favorite dress of the collection. It has a bit of a Mayan feel to it. The round neckline is adorned with all kinds of brown, blue, cream, khaki, and pink beads to form little designs. The rest of the dress has an abstract pattern that resembles petals. Price: $248.00
