The limited edition offerings feature a fun gauzy frock, a chic reversible beach hat, gold gladiator sandals and a too-cute floral print bikini, with handbags and jewelry to match. Accompanying beauty picks include a tinted lip balm, glow powder and fruity fragrances perfect for lazy beach days.

And it was a country known for its especially sunny and sandy beaches that inspired the entire color scheme.

"I knew right away that my home country of Brazil would be the perfect theme," says Falchi. "Rio embodies color, vibrancy and spirit, all of which are reflected in this collection. Each piece is unique and incorporates my signature features like the colorful lining of the bags inspired by the Copacabana boardwalk, the Rio ready mini tie finishing and the unique fabrications."

Something else we love?

The fact that all of the items are priced at and below, and coordinate beautifully together for several mix-and-match options that you can wear while laying out (don't forget that sunscreen!), lunching or boardwalk-strolling.

The featured Color Cream Eye Shadows and Totally Balmed SPF 15 Tinted Lip Balm also cleverly come in easy swipe-on formulas to take beach days into nights without too much of a fuss. Add a few spritzes of the Rio Bikini Fragrance with notes of fresh-squeezed watermelon, kiwi, coconut milk and sandalwood, and you're good to go.

Now if only those airline ticket prices could come down, then we'd truly be packing and on our way.
