The latest installment of Anthropologie's Made in Kind designer collections hits stores today, and includes collections by New York hipster label Timo Weiland, tea-dress master Tracy Reese, Los Angeles indie boutique TenOverSix, and artist Sophie Duran.

"There's very much an understanding of each other's aesthetic," said Weiland of his namesake brand and Anthro at last week's New York City party celebrating the collections. "There's a nice juxtaposition between our uptown meets downtown girl, contemporary art obsessed and this youthful, very romantic bohemian attitude, and I think that's the crossover." Weiland and his design partner Alan Eckstein's collection, called "Vessel," features earthy printed blouses, ruffled skirts and my personal favorite, a laser-cut eyelet suede dress.

Reese's line includes six brightly colored party dresses, perfect for the impending party season. Like the Timo Weiland boys, Reese found it easy to fuse her own label's aesthetic with Anthropologie's. "It's sort of a natural match. I think that our customer has so much in common, it's like almost the same girl," she said. "I feel like the customer here, silhouette wise, loves a little fit and flare dress — so do I. We're girls! Not just girlie girls, but people who embrace color, are playful . . . not so sober and overly serious. I think that we share a certain spirit."

As anyone following our ongoing series of summer packing guides can attest, it's fun to bring destination-inspired items on your upcoming trips. Equally important, however, is bringing along easily-foldable, incredibly versatile basics that'll look luxe without showing a single wrinkle.

Thank goodness, then, that Donna Karan—arguably fashion's patron saint of figure-flattering dresses—has teamed up with the folks at Gilt Groupe on an exclusive seven-piece collection inspired by (what else?) wanderlust. Among the items on offer? A gorgeous one-shoulder red cocktail number, a crisp white shirtdress and a new take on Donna's signature Infinity Dress, the latter of which can be wrapped, tied and twisted to create tons of different looks.

I like combo dresses—those ones that look like a separate top and skirt—because they fake a choreographed outfit in one toss-over-the-head-and-zip motion. They're sneaky in that way.

But when combo dresses have a really basic top, it bugs me. Like these ones above: they're essentially plain white t-shirts or button downs sewn into skirts. Since I could find a great white top for under $20 somewhere like Topshop, Uniqlo or Joe Fresh, I feel like I'd be paying an unnecessary amount of money for half of the dress. And then I wouldn't even have the option to wear those seemingly classic separates as, well, separates. That's annoying.

Instead, I prefer combo dresses like the ones below. Their top and lower halves are print-mixed and coordinated in interesting, eye-catching ways. To me, that's the whole appeal: it's the lazy girl's guide to looking like you actually put together different pieces.

Click through the slideshow below to see them all, and tell me—am I missing something? Is there some benefit to the ultra-basic combo dress that's going right over my head?
