There seems to be inspiration everywhere about what bikinis to buy, the best cover-ups of the year and which accessories are beach appropriate. However I noticed a lack of inspo on what to wear by the beach when the sun goes down. You're skin is tanned, you've had your air-conditioned nap and laid on the bed wearing only aftersun eating your LAYS. Now you're ready to get dolled up and beachy for some seaside cocktails and foreign cuisine. Here are a few looks from my trip to Mallorca to give you some ideas!
LOOK ONE: Button down dresses have been the rage of the season, they're rustic and cute, not to mention often loose so you can maximise on garlic bread.
SHOP: TOPSHOP
LOOK TWO: I do love a little hipppie gypsy vibe. When you're by the beach you can get away with accessories which might not be as accepted in the city, I wore one of these headbands to a family party and everyone, adults and children, asked why I was wearing a crown...
SHOP: DRESS- HOLLISTER SUNGLASSES- WEARHOUSE HEADBAND- STRADIVARIOUS
LOOK THREE: It's always nice to incorporate some bright colours when beachside, and if you're into your heels, opt for something espadrillesque and quirky rather than a classic court.
SHOP: AND OTHER STORIES
LOOK FOUR: Would it even be a holiday if I didn't wear a cami dress? They're a blank canvas meaning you can go bold on accessories (and dinner) Plus white and a tan? FORGET ABOUT ITTTTTT!
