Something old, Something new

This Summer I will be married to my husband for 10 years ; I thought it was a nice opportunity to make this event extra festive as we will be in Ibiza at that time .. 

What place is better to renew some vows and make a nice celebration on the beach, boho style ?

I did not want to purchase a real-wedding-dress but something light and airy, a touch of lace and maybe a flower headband as Ibiza might seem to be the perfect spot to wear such accessories.

Boho style is really beautiful and although I would never wear these kind of dresses at home, I've been on the hunt for a dress like this for some time. Don't you just love the lacy sleeves seen in the pictures above ? Asos have some really nice collections to choose from ; just type boho and dresses in the search bar and loads of beautiful white and nude dresses appear on your tablet or computer.

I've ordered this lovely frock (second picture) and hope to wear it this Summer for the occasion. Stay tuned to witness some great pictures afterwards.

Summer Outfit part 1.0

Hi you guys ! Final days of June are approaching and I'm about to get ready for my Summer holiday.

This year I wanted to make sure to be prepared like never before to get those cute outfits in my suitcase before you know it.

I've always been a bad holiday packer as I always wanted to extend my usual-at-home style on holiday ; now, it's not very practical to find black, greys and minimalistic items for your Summer style and by that I mean, sweaters, cashmeres and skinny black jeans. Way too hot.

So this year, I made a not to self to start on time, getting those super fun t-shirts, loose shirt jackets and shorts, into a special part of my walk-in-closet. I call it the beach-only part of my closet so I know exactly where to find my stuff once I get the suitcases out.

As I'm headed for Italy and Ibiza, I wanted to make sure my outfit choices could blend perfectly into both countries and it's style so I would not have to split up anything between them.

Let me get through a small part of my fave finds seen in the picture :

1. kimono/blouse/jackets with cute prints

2. bikini tops {as a replacement for a bra}

3. shorts, cotton or jean

4. flower headbands for minimalistic hair maintenance {they match messy beach waves perfectly}

5. shoes {on my shop list for Italy*}

6. ethnic bags or cotton shoppers with statement quotes

7. sunglasses {of course}

8. shoes {again, on my shop list for Italy}**

* and ** because I want to buy Gucci shoes in the land of origin, don't ask why but it just feels right.

On top of that, every time I will look at those shoes, they will remind me of a fabulous time. I'm pretty sure I will live these next couple of weeks in my flip-flops and sandals ; I already stashed those weeks ago ! 

What are your essentials for Summer ? Any good tips for me ? Leave a note in the comments ! 

note : all items can be found at HM or Zara, except for the Gucci shoes
