Now that summer is officially making its presence known (well, sort of…), I’m excited to pull out all those summer dresses I snagged during the winter sales. From flowing maxis to adorable mini dress, having your favorite shopping spots already mapped out is a total game-changer, trust me! So, here’s a starter list of my go-to sites. Of course, it’s not everything, but it’s a solid beginning. Later on, I’ll share more hidden gems and emerging brands.
Dress: Fumi The Label | Heels: Attico | Bag: Ferragamo | Shades: Swarovski
Fumi The Label is a haven for women seeking effortless yet distinctive ways to express themselves. One standout example is this stunning blue dress I wore to NYC, which captivated me from the moment I laid eyes on it last year. This dress is just one of many treasures from Fumi’s Bloom Collection:
Dress: Andrea Iyamah | Heels: Revolve | Bag: Cult Gaia | Shades: Swarovski
Andrea Iyamah is a fashion brand known for its bold and contemporary designs, particularly in swimwear and resort wear. The brand often feature vibrant colors, unique prints, and innovative silhouettes that are perfect for those who seek to make a statement poolside or at any chic resort destination.
Dress & Pants: Zimmermann (sold out)
Zimmermann’s collections feature intricate lace, delicate embroidery, and whimsical prints. Their clothing ranges from flowing maxi dresses and ethereal skirts to tailored blazers and structured jumpsuits. Known for their attention to detail and impeccable craftsmanship.
I’ll be going to a destination wedding this weekend and can’t wait to bring you all along for the journey. Stay tuned for exclusive glimpses into my adventures, featuring stunning dresses from Aje, Atoir, Andrea, and Mango.
