WHAT I WORE: MAXI IN BARBADOS

I bought this dress for an event (think it must have been a wedding) when I was heavily pregnant with my second bebe. Since that it's been tricky to find use for it even though it fits perfectly without a bump too. It's just one of those dresses that to me feels a bit dressy on a normal day however not dressy enough for evening. So a daytime birthday party in Barbados was the perfect occasion to wear it. Or it seemed perfect but in reality I was absolutely steaming hot in it all day! Having said that I would have been hot in anything or even in just nothing. The temperatures were (apparently) unusually hot. But one coming from a cold country never complains about weather being too hot so we leave it at that... just stating facts, not complaining.


Dress: DVF / Sandals: Ancient Greek Sandals / Hat: from a beach boutique in Antibes

Ah there she is, that's better!

Btw you might have noticed that my hat's not really IN my head the way it should be but rather is sitting on the very top of it. The reason being that I have an unusually large head but with hair extensions it's impossibly large. Give me a hat in size XL and most likely it won't fit. Shame, as there are a lot of hats out there that I'd like to wear this autumn! If anyone knows of a hat brand that does sizes XXL and XXXL please do shout...

  1. Aivan ihana mekko! Itsellä on vähän samaa ongelmaa pään koon kanssa ja siksi hattujen käyttö on kyllä minimaalista.

    1. Ha, mua nauratti toi nenä päähän vertaus! Mutta siis kiitos. Täytyy sanoa, etten usko ikinä enää palaavani megablondiin... viihdyn tässä värissä paljon paremmin.

    1. Kiva kuulla, että säkin oot sitä mieltä. Aika lähellä ihan omaa, luonnollista väriä, ehkä ei olis ikinä pitänyt lähteä värjäämään aikanaan! :-)

    2. Kummasti me naiset vaan kaipaamme vaihtelua. Mäkin palasin välillä takaisin omaan väriin enkä värjänny hiuksiani, mutta nyt taas vaihtelu virkistää. ;)

  6. Looks like a fun birthday! Did you rent a villa with your group or stay at a hotel? Tips for where to stay / dine would be great, it's on my short list of destinations for a December break. :) - Clara

    1. We stayed in a hotel but would definitely try and rent a villa if we went for longer. I'm planning on doing a post about our hotel with a couple of dining tips too.
