5 Summer Dresses I Adore

Hello beauties!

Summer days are meant for going outside, spending time at the beach and just enjoying life! It's very hot and humid these days here in Italy and I know these are the last days of summer :-/ My hubby and I worked a lot this summer and the vacations are already over! But it was truly nice and relaxing family holiday.

Of course, our destination was, as every summer, Croatia, and we also spent some time at our favorite place on this Earth: the island of Rab!

I'll show you my favorite 5 summer dresses that I keep wearing every summer and that I always pack with me, whenever I go to my vacations. Needless to say, I love wearing dresses in summertime! When it's very hot and sunny outside, I can't even bear the thought of wearing pants.

This lovely dress is from Hollister. I got it a couple of years ago (summer 2015. probably), on summer sales. It's very breezy and I love the model and the print. It's ideal for everyday but it can be dressed up, with a pair of heels.

In this photo I'm in the little Croatian seaside town Bakar, and I'm wearing my summer staples: Straw fedora and a little pink bag.

Next dress is a maxi dress and I got it at Fashionmia online store, in a blogger collaboration that we had. I love the color of this dress and the fact that it looks so good both with sneakers, and with heels. When I want to make it a bit more casual, I just pair it with my cropped jean jacket and white All Star sneakers.

Third dress is from H&M and their Conscious line. I bought it a few years ago at their summer sales. I'm in love with the color, print (delicate flowers) and the model. I do love to wear maxi dresses in summer, I think they're so feminine and make you look very chic and sophisticated.

This one I'm particularly fond of also because of the ruffly top part, it just looks so girly and pretty!

Next dress is a white summer dress from H&M. Again, this was bought on summer sales a few years ago, at H&M in Treviso (I was visiting that little Italian town with my friend and we went for a little walk around the centre of the town & a little shopping!).

Summer calls for the color white and I'm a big fan of wearing white. I have more than one white dress in my wardrobe, but this is surely one of my favorites, if not THE favourite!

Last (but not least) is this gorgeous lace red dress by Light In The Box. I had a chance to collaborate with that online store a couple of times, and they always surprised me with some nice gems!

My first collaboration with them was a bit unfortunate, but they really made it up with time, and showed me how much great items they carry at such affordable prices!

Anyhow, this dress is still one of my absolute favorite!

These are just 5 of many dresses that I have and love! I could go on and on, but let's get real: My suitcase has a limited storage space and I do need to optimize it!

This summer, my picks are these 5 beauties!

I hope you like some of the dresses that I showed you! Let me know which one is your favorite?

I'll talk to you soon!

Summer Fashion 2018. Inspiration Board

Hello lovelies!

As you already know, I've been working on creating my summer fashion wishlist, sort of an inspiration board, where I'll put all the items I'd like to add to my wardrobe to refresh my style.
I thought it would be fun to share it with you!

Summer hasn't officially started yet, but summer temperatures are already here and it feels like summer is already here! This afternoon the storm started, so I'm all cozy & warm in my living room, with my little son, sipping on a cup of tea and snacking on some fresh fruit...I have some extra time to work on this post, and browse through one of my favourite on-line shopping destination for pretty dresses, FashionMia, to select a few of my favourites!

Skater dresses are one of my favourite models of dresses, and they're also very flattering on my body shape. They come in many different and cute prints and colors, and here are some of the ones I like best:

This sexy V-neck solid pleated knitted skater dress is very elegant and feminine. It's great for work environment, but you can also dress it down for more casual days. Pleated skirt is also a very popular detail this summer. This model comes in many different color options, but I must admit, this is my favourite one!

Another dress that I loved is this one:

I usually go for more colorful options and crazy prints, but this season I'm leaning towards simplicity, clean lines and classic models that aren't too trendy, yet they never go out of style.
This round neck striped skater dress is definitely going on my inspiration board for summer fashion clothes! It's now even 80% off, which means I'll have to hurry up and place the order, right? ;-)

So these are the types of dresses that really flatter my body shape, accentuating my best features, but FashionMia also has a big selection of plus size dresses .
We all know that plus size fashion isn't so easy to find, as many high street stores simply don't make their clothes in bigger sizes.
The good news is that on this web store you can find many cute plus size models, so you don't have to give up on being fashionable in your plus size clothes!

Here are a few examples, these are a few dresses for various occasions:

This is a very gorgeous dress for special occasions

Here is one nice model for everyday wear:

And here's a fun print dress for the beach and hot summer weather:

I shared with you some of my favourites, and now is your turn!
Which ones are the dresses you'd like to wear this summer? Share with me your thoughts in the comments :-)
