Take a look at designer Anupamaa Dayal's resortwear line from Day Four of Lakme Fashion Week.

It was all about beachwear, fun and florals at Anupamaa Dayal's showing at the LFW today.

The collection, 'Short Stories', was classified into six distinct looks -- chic, rock, bohemian, classic, retro and ethnic. And since it was sponsored by paint giant Dulux, the palette reflected the latest offerings from their Velvet Touch line for luxury walls.

We start off with this silky, baby-blue jumpsuit.

The models seemed to enjoy themselves on the ramp, breaking into dance moves as they showcased see-through kaftans over enticing two-pieces.

Neon print pants and a red bikini top are ideal for the beach bum look.

We like this blue and white blouse, although we're guessing you'd have to wear something underneath too!

This wispy sundress is rather transparent -- but we're guessing that's the idea!

Cover up with a scarf at the beach -- and make sure you have as cute a skirt as this pleated one to go with it.
