Destination Dreaming: Tulum
Day dreaming: the opportunity to get lost in a beautiful escape, anywhere you choose, to adventure freely, to travel, to explore... no matter where you are.
We've been indulging in a little destination day dreaming recently, imagining where we would love to travel and which of our favourite pieces we'd bring with us.
And you never know what the future may hold - as Gloria Steinem said, "dreaming, after all, is a form of planning."
So today, we're jetting off to Tulum, Mexico. We're packing bright colours, bikinis, easy coverups and throw-on dresses. With one well-packed carry-on suitcase we'll be perfectly equipped to enjoy the beach, the jungle, exploring the ruins, great restaurants, bars, and of course, some midnight dancing.
Let's start with our hero piece, the Tie-Dye Wrap Silk Maxi dress in neon fire.
We should really call it our *super* hero piece. You can crumple it up, throw it in your suitcase (or beach bag) and pull it out in perfect, wearable condition whenever you need to seriously step up your look. You won't be overdressed at the beach, at a casual lunch, or strolling through town in this silk maxi -- and by the time you get to dinner and drinks, you'll be in the perfect piece to take you into the night.
Same beautiful colours, slightly different style dress, you can also opt for the Tie Dye T-Strap Maxi Dress in a relaxed fit with a dynamic flounce at the bottom. The back is open and is beautifully accentuated by two spaghetti straps. This dresses' free-spirited silhouette blends utility, comfort and luxury for simple elegance.
Can't you just picture yourself in a long, flowing silk dress, walking down this beach at sunset?
Another standout travel piece is the Marsala Stripe Hooded Vest. It really completes a beach or pool look and also looks great thrown over cut off denim shorts or jeans. We love our maxi vest with the Seashore Angel bikini - embellished with genuine cowrie shells. It's the perfect crochet style to pack for your beach vacay.
Not just the breathtaking beaches, but also the extraordinary jungles and, of course, the Tulum ruins should be at the top of your list of places to go and things to do.
Choose easy, chic pieces to throw on on for these adventures. One of our favourite crop tops is the Bella Ballerina Top. Even cuter layered over a white tank or t-shirt. And again it's a great piece to wear over our Seashore Angel bikini crochet bikini.
10 Best White Summer Dresses
Easy, breezy, throw on and go - that's the vibe we want this summer - but make it fashion and make it chic.
There's only one piece of clothing that can do it all for you this summer (and it's literally just one piece) and that's a summer dress. Here are our favourites for you to rock all summer long:
A fun, bohemian take on a classic mini dress silhouette. The dramatic sleeves and feather-like lacy stitch gives this a really unique look.
A shorter hemline and longer bell shaped sleeves go perfectly together. Especially in love with the wide, drawstring neckline. This dress has major flare, we picture Jane Birkin wearing this dress while strolling through the streets of Saint Tropez
Perfect for a romantic evening. So very "mid-summer nights dream-esque." This dress looks amazing with a boater straw hat.
Day chic, when you want something a little more elevated than a mini dress but still want to stay cool. The open back adds a little va-va-voom.
How amazing is this silhouette!? This could be used for a special event or evening (hello, summer engagement party), fancied up with beautiful jewelry and shoes - or worn with elegant flats for a pretty day look.
This one has it all. Adorable body-con, mini length, flattering crochet peak-a-boo waistline, and halter back. This one will be on repeat with sneakers, sandals, wedges, and heels.
So simple, so sexy. It comes with a removable liner and has the most beautiful crochet-encased button from bodice and a tassel drawstring tie at the back.
Wear it off-the-shoulder or as a slip dress, this unique maxi would make for an ideal beach wedding look.
Lacy and romantic, this tiered mini dress has a body-con fit and a beautifully accentuated waist. And of course, it's inspired by the one and only Ariana Grande.
This Victorian lace inspired handmade crochet mini dress is so diverse. Keep your look pretty and romantic or toughen it up with boots and a denim jacket.
