Brand Spotlight: Ala Von Auersperg

April 10, 2023 · In: Size Inclusive Favorites, Style, Women

Ala Von Auersperg mesh caftan, size-inclusive caftans, size-inclusive coverups, blue and purple swim coverup

If you’ve never shopped Ala von Auersperg, you’re in for a real treat!  Founded in 2017, Ala, is a designer, philanthropist, mother, grandmother, and longtime painter. Each AvA piece starts off as a painting on canvas and the design is later transferred to prints on tops, dresses, pants, and more – making each style incredibly unique. I’ve worn my AvA pieces for a day at the beach and at a formal affairs and I’m excited to share more about why I love Ala Von Auersperg, and some of my current favorite AvA pieces.

Ala Von Auersperg Clothing

The elegant prints and designs of Ala Von Auersperg clothing are certainly what make the pieces immediately stand out. The designs that Ala paints on canvas are all absolutely beautiful – florals, foliage, nautical prints, plumage, animal prints, and more. And these paintings transfer so beautifully to clothing and accessories! Additionally, the brand celebrates women of all ages and sizes by creating effortlessly elegant silhouettes. I love seeing Ala and her own daughter, two women of different body types and ages, both look chic and confident wearing AvA clothing!

Why I Love Ala Von Auersperg Clothing

Right away I have to tell you that nothing in my closet is more versatile than my mesh pieces from Ala Von Auersperg. Whether at a dressy dinner to a breezy day spent poolside, I feel effortlessly put together in all of the mesh silhouettes. There are endless ways to pair the ponchos, wrapped toppers, and cascading caftans. You can layer these pieces over stretch knit dresses, pants, or tops for a date night or dinner with friends. But just as easily, you can throw them over a swimsuit and find a spot by the sea.

Here is one her newest prints, Papillon, in the Rachel Sheer Mesh Poncho layered over the Caterina Long Stretch Knit Dress. Styled up, I’d wear this to a formal dinner in a heartbeat, but I’ve also packed this poncho to wear over a swimsuit on one of our weekend beach days here on the gulf coast of Florida. Beyond their amazing versatility and lovely prints, AvA pieces are also machine-washable, made in the USA, and easy to pack, so they’re perfect for vacation since they won’t take up a lot of space and are so low maintenance. 

Beyond their amazing versatility, AvA pieces are also machine-washable, made in the USA, and easy to pack. This makes them the perfect items to pack for a beach vacation – they won’t take up a lot of space and you can wash the sand right off! Ala Von Auersperg is one of my favorite size-inclusive brands that focuses on making women of all shapes and ages feel beautiful and confident. Their products have flexible silhouettes available up to a size XXL and there are also one-size-fits-all options. Furthermore, I love that each print is based on unique hand-painted designs by Ala herself, making them a little extra special.

My Favorite Ala Von Auersperg Pieces

The elegant prints and designs of Ala Von Auersperg clothing makes her pieces stand out. The beautiful designs that Ala paints on canvas range from florals, foliage, nautical prints, plumage, animal prints, and more. And these paintings transfer so beautifully to fabric. Best yet, the brand celebrates women of all ages and a range of sizes by creating easy and elegant silhouettes up to an XXL. I love seeing Ala and her own daughter both look chic and confident wearing AvA clothing and very much appreciate their focus on helping women look and feel their best! 

While I love the luxurious silk pieces, the ones in the mesh collection are true go-tos. I love the feel of flowy, airy fabric sitting soft and cool against my skin. They’re light enough to be comfortable here in the hot Florida climate, and wherever your adventures take you. I’m looking forward to continuing to try out other AvA pieces in the future and visit their beautiful Worth Avenue location in Palm Beach again! Maybe even pop up to their Charleston spot, or New York City showroom! Until then, I’ll keep shopping online and you can too by clicking HERE for their newest styles.

I loved spending the evening with @melissasmrekar and our winning table mate (in more ways than one 💜) @lomurph at the most thoughtful event hosted at @thecharles by @alison.carter and company!! I even got to see my fellow SMU Kappa sister, @maryahafner who also took home a "Matt" (head to my stories if you don't know what I mean 😉) 

I'm loving the texture and updated feel this top coat is giving my manicure, and thrilled to finally get to try @downloadcherry

Possibly tequila 😆 but in all seriousness, I lived in Dallas from 2005, to fairly recently when we moved back to Florida in 2018. And even though I'm a born and raised Floridian, so much of my heart feels like Texas is my home. Margaret however is a Texan by birth and she tells everyone who will listen, which seems pretty Texan of her (in the best way). 

We're here with the girls this week, seeing our special people, and of course I packed two of my favorite Texas brands, @sunshinetiendashop and @susanshaw that are both lead by stylish and talented women. 

You can shop my accessories by following me on @shop.ltk or head to my stories!
