Peace

Wearing: Reformation dress (no longer avail.), Tory Burch wedges

Silly little me, I just came across these long lost photos from Anguilla.... let's take a trip back.

In my past life, I swear I was a hippie. From my fondness of Woodstock-esque music to the self expressive vibes of the 70s, I am always drawn to anything that emulates those vibes. 

This Reformation dress has cutouts, mock neck, and it's covered in peace signs- what more could I ask for? Despite the fact that I can't go back in time, I will dress like I can- of course, with a modern twist.

Peace, dude. x

Wander

Wearing: Paul & Joe dress, Soludos espadrilles, Samudra clutch, Stella & Dot necklace c/o Tieks, Ray-Ban sunglasses

Sometimes the only cure for wanderlust is to sleep less and explore more. 

As I plan my summer travels, I often forget I was in Anguilla not too long (check out my fading tan). The crystal blue waters made me fall in love with the ocean all over again and remember how the simpler things in life can be the most beautiful ones. 

And yes, I did live in these espadrilles most of the trip along with Samurda clutch- easy and breezy. 

Happy weekend. x

Twirl

Wearing: Alice & Olivia skirt (similar) and cami (similar) and Valentino sandals (loaned)

When I was about five or six, I had a light blue Cinderella dress that had a train that sparkled. I used to run down this long hallway (which resulted in me falling every two minutes... some things never change) and the train would fly up around me. Everytime I wore my Cinderella dress it brought a smile to my five year old self. In all honesty, I think I still have the dress but it has seen better days.

When the amazing Seaside Luxe team let me play dress up in their Viceroy boutique, I beelined to this Alice & Olivia maxi skirt. All those princess memories flooded back into my head as I twirled under Anguilla's early morning sun.

Island Daze

Wearing: Madewell popover, French Connection trousers c/o, Soludos espadrilles (lived in them)

Reminiscing about early mornings in my island mindset. Waking up in a morning daze was the perfect counterpart for pajama-like dressing. Each morning (disclaimer: I'm not an early riser), I would love watching the waves roll in Barnes Bay and soak in the balmy island air. Stepping out of my comfort zone with mixing brights was the perfect morning pick-me-up (along with guava smoothies and fresh fruit).

If someone wants to transport me back to island life; greatly appreciated. 

But this weekend's forecast will do, I suppose. Happy Friday.

Interchange

Wearing: Alexis top via Intermix, Asos skirt (on sale), Cosabella bra, Asos shoes, Chanel bag

Hopping back to my adventures in Anguilla, I find myself sporting my favorite items. 

Every now and then I find a piece (in this case, pieces) that I simply adore. I can never seem to get enough of white clothing with interesting details. Somehow, I convince myself that it's completely rational to only wear those certain items day in and day out. Even if people begin to question if I own any other clothes (and yes, I do thank you very much). In this scenario, that it exactly what is happening with these incredible items from Alexis and Asos. When worn all together, it creates an impact, yet when worn alone they are just equally amazing. Call me crazy but if I seem to be sporting an item 24/7, that is a home run in my book.
