Fairytale Loire Valley - Baby Blue Midi Skirt

Outfit: Topshop Midi Skirt (here), Soludos Sandals (here), Ann Taylor cardigan (similar here, extra 40% off), H&M T-shirt (here), Street Level Beige Tote (here)

When I think of fairytales, castles definitely come to mind. A couple weeks ago we went to the Loire Valley, located in central France, and toured Chateau de Chambord and Chateau de Cheverny. They were both breathtaking and felt like I was in a fairytale myself! To dress the part, I wanted something flowy and pastel and this baby blue midi skirt did just the trick (I think I was trying to go for a modern day Cinderella). My princess sandals gave a feminine touch as it wrapped around my ankles, and it was also very comfortable to walk in!

Beating the Miami Heat

How is everyone?? These past couple of weeks have been quite busy with work and travel. We just came back from our Europe trip which I can't wait to show all our amazing pictures! Before our Europe trip we went on a short weekend trip to Miami. Couple years ago when I went, I also brought the same hat with me. I guess this hat is just so chic yet suitable for a city by the beach like Miami.

Petite Friendly Maxi Dresses

Outfit: Cotton On Maxi (different designs here), Sam Edelman sandals (Sold out, but similar ones here only $29.99!)

I've been asked a few times where I get my maxi dresses that fit a petite frame, and actually Cotton On has been my go-to for most of them. Their maxi dresses don't sweep the floor, they're durable, and it's effortless chic. The length is perfect for my 5'2" frame - it shows off my sandals and I don't have to worry about the ends getting dirty since it doesn't touch the floor. It's also an amazing value for only $34.95, and with some designs going for as low as $15! It's a great staple for your wardrobe especially for the summer months. I also found a petite friendly maxi from Abercrombie that I wore to my trip to Napa in this post.
