L*SPACE Flutterbye Maxi Dress at Beach Cafe!

Thursday 10 July 2014

Oh how I love Summer and holiday fashion! Sadly I've already been on holiday this year, but it doesn't mean I've stopped dreaming of jetting off somewhere exotic to get some more sun. I love planning my holiday wardrobe and after beachwear, a beautiful maxi dress is always top of my packing list.

If you're a regular reader, you'll know I'm maxi dress obsessed. I honestly can't get enough of them because they're so flattering and easy to wear! Perfect for throwing over a bikini while on vacation or for wearing on an evening for cocktails.

L*Space maxi: c/o Beach Cafe - Necklaces: Heather Gardner - Hat: H&M

My latest addition is the L*SPACE Flutterbye Maxi dress from Rawr faves, Beach Cafe. L*SPACE have an awesome range of swimwear and beachwear, I have a fringed bikini from last season which I absolutely adore, and they are a celeb favourite. When I spotted this maxi on the website, I instantly thought of Vanessa Hudgens and knew I had to have it. It reminds me of Jen's Pirate Booty, the cut out ruffle detail is so lovely and it falls really well. I was initially a bit worried about the sizing but this one is a medium and it fits perfectly! I'd say it runs slightly large as I'm usually a size 8 but a slightly oversized dress is ideal for holiday fun in the sun.

I paired it with a fedora, some boho-inspired jewellery all the way from California (including the necklace Vanessa Hudgens has), and a pair of sandals. Ideally these snaps would be taken on a beach but I think I've proven it's a really versatile piece... it totally works on UK shores. If you aren't familiar with Beach Cafe, I definitely recommend checking them out! They have a great collection of designers including Melissa Odabash, Seafolly and Vitamin A.

As a side note, sorry for my absence recently. I've been working and going to festivals so haven't had time for any blogging! Please check back for more frequent outfit posts, we have lots of excited things planned over the next week.

What is your holiday essential? Have you heard of Beach Cafe?

  10. Looking like THE ultimate cali-babe ;-) Boho jewels are such a perfect go-to and your necklace looks beautiful against the maxi!

    My holiday essential has to be my zara sandals, glittery but also respectable for walking (unlike most of my other shoes!)

  16. Oh, very pretty - with the slit up the front it *almost* looks like it could be a wide legged jumpsuit, which I think you could most definitely pull off :) x
