Travel Day in Kiev,Ukraine | OOTD

Greetings from Kiev, Ukraine! This outfit of the day is from my first day in Eastern Europe. We had a 20+ hour layover in Kiev, Ukraine so instead of sleeping on the airport floor (which was really tempting, NOT!!!) we slept one night in one of the best hostels in town. It was  such a treat after an almost 9 hour flight from New York. In that short time we were able to shower, sleep in a comfortable bed and get some yummy, eats and drinks. We walked around the street markets to take in some sights while we could. Before we knew it, it was time to hit the airport again for our final destination. 

Alright, let’s talk about the details for this first outfit of the day Europe edition. This look was inspired by all of the European women after my own heart who are all about light minimalist looks in the summer. 

For this look I paired a sleeveless light blue button down top with white deconstructed denim. My sandals have a simple, single wide straps across the toes and around the ankle. This helps keep everything looking clean. My pop of color happens to be my day bag for exploring. It’s a wine colored satchel with a leather strap and adds just enough interest to the look with out loosing the minimalist qualities. It’s hard to keep lights clean when you’re traveling but I managed. 

Leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite travel outfit is. Enjoy!

Cut Out One Piece | OOTD

If you’re still shopping for a swimsuit in mid July it’s because you may not have found the one that you love or you’re shopping for a special occasion. Here’s one more style of  “one piece” swim wear that I adore. 

This suit provides a monokini look. The cut outs in this one piece give me the feeling of a two piece with a lot more coverage. The top is a halter style with a bit of gathered fabric placed vertically in the center to wake up the black. Of course black is at the top of my favorites list as a color but I Iike to spice it up with texture. 

The bottom is high rise and provides full coverage in addition to being connected to the rest of the suit. A simple hook in the back rounds out the details of this suit. 

Good Luck if you’re still shopping for a swim suit and don’t count out cool one pieces from you search. Enjoy!
