Go To The Beach

You maybe have seen me wear this dress before for work but obviously this time, I've styled the dress a lot different. Thailand is the perfect place to bring a long maxi to throw on. I love how versatile this dress is just by how I can tie the halter. And lemmie tell ya, this thing is so comfy it should be illegal; the last thing you wanna be on vacation is uncomfortable. But even with comfort, I still felt like a goddess wearing it - especially next to these amazing turquoise waters!

All Tied Up

Just so y'all know, I LIVE in this dress. I saw it in the window in a boutique in Bali and the color combination of mint, lavender and navy just drew me in. I also love how it ties and gathers at the neck (did you get my clever two-fold pun for my title? tied at the neck; tie dye?!) I styled it with a wide leather belt and a ballet-inspired shrug to make it work appropriate but I plan on doing a blog post soon about how I usually wear it - kaftan style. When I bought the dress (on impulse) I didn't plan on how versatile this dress actually is.

Peace, Love and Beaches (Bali Day 1)

I apologize in advance - these Bali posts will be full of photo-overload. I just can't narrow down them all down! 

Last week, my friend Nadia and I went to Bali and y'all, it is everything everyone says it is. It's gorgeous, the people are so lovely and there is SO MUCH TO DO AND SEE. I'm already planning my next trip back! On our first day, we had a taxi driver take us around to a bunch of different places: 2 different beaches, an amazing seafood restaurant, a coffee plantation, and Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) cultural park. We ended the day eating a $6 steak dinner that tasted like $50 (all the cheap, delicious food might honestly have been my favorite thing!) I think my favorite part of the day was our lunch (see, I told you!) We went to a practically deserted beach and ate under a big yellow umbrella directly on the beach. A traveling band stopped to serenade us to "American Pie". It was pretty perfect. 

And for my outfit, it's all about this kimono! According to InStyle, fringe is the new peplum. I can totally get down with that. I just love the white, thin, filmy cotton material and of course, all the fringe detail. 

What do you think about the kimono and/or fringe trend this summer?
