Under the Spanish Sun Maxi Dress

Hello from Southern Spain! I am spending some family vacation time in Spain and it has been absolutely incredible. The scenery, the sea, the culture, the food are all encompassing. I can't help but wear bright colored clothes under the Spanish sun. I am not a very tall woman more like medium height so I mostly stray away from maxi dresses but this one grabbed my attention due its vibrant color and print. I tried it on and without needing any alternations it seemed to be perfect. So if you are thinking to try something new this summer, I highly recommend an easy, breezy, bright maxi dress. They are effortless to wear and can be worn from day to night during long summer days. I must mention that these photos were taken by my twelve year old goddaughter. Considering it was the first time ever she took on a photography endeavor, I think she did a wonderful job, don't you? Let the summer fun begin and have a wonderful weekend. XOXO

Bright Tunics for Summer

Tunics are great versatile pieces to wear in the summer. They can be casually worn with shorts or with bikinis as beach cover-ups. For summer I especially like them in bright colors. I call this color combination (below): lemon and lime.  It reminds me of summer's citrusy, fresh drinks. Happy June everyone. XOXO

Black and Gold

Summer is upon us and dresses are officially getting shorter on girls.  I usually stick to just above the knee length but this beautiful, mini shift dress tempted me to experiment with a shorter length. The beautiful sequined embellishment on it is: oh so perfect for a cocktail hour or a party. One can wear it with dressy flat shoes or heels. The Yves Saint Laurent shoes I chose to wear it with are ubiquitous to my summer wardrobe so you will see it incorporated in a lot of my summer outfits. Contrary to its steep high heel, these shoes are incredibly comfortable to wear. They are perfect for long summer night parties. Happy Wednesday everyone, XOXO.

Shift Dress

Shift dresses are one of my favorites. I find them very flattering and easy to wear. They can either be worn in the winter with thick tights or in the summer when one wants a quick, effortless dress look. Here is a shift dress in one of my favorite designer styles, Catherine Malandrino. I find this style to be quite versatile. Depending on how one accessories it, it can be worm during day or evening. Happy Monday XOXO!
