]]> I tried on some dresses today, but I couldn’t really find what I was looking for. I either didn’t like the patterns or I didn’t like the fit. I’m determined to find a floaty, sexy maxi dress for this Summer. Something that I can throw on at the end of a long day and feel both comfortable and glamorous.  Do you know what I mean? 

Maxi dresses remind me of something that my mom used to wear when I was a little girl. My grandparents had a pool and an incredible yard for entertaining. Every year they had a luau and I can picture Mom standing next the pool, flower in her hair, long flowy dress floating softly on the breeze. I want to be that glamorous Mom.

I found this Ecoganik Criss Cross Finale Dress.

It’s made of 100% Bamboo Bora Flora fabric.  It has a deep, deep neckline and straps that criss-cross. This dress would look lovely at a Summer party, with my hair in an updo accented with a flower…..I’m thinking a Hibiscus, just like Mom back in the day. 

Here is a back view…….

]]> Looking for the latest in vegan bags?  How about this Summer Satchel by Pink Studios? 

I love the retro beachy look. It reminds me of something that a friend’s older sister carried back in the day. It features bamboo handles, so it’s eco-friendly, too.
