Mermaid Ruffle Skirt

Greetings from Reunion Island! For those who do not know this small island of the Indian Ocean is part of France and is only 45 min from Mauritius.

Many of you know that these last 4 months I have been working on a project in East Africa where I have been sharing some of them in the blog and in my Instagram.

To be honest, my feed is a bit behind and slowly catching up these past months. In fact, I’m posting 2 times a day if you have not noticed it to see if I can catch up with my current destination lol

Since we arrived to Reunion we have been super busy shooting and touring every corner of this island since we only have 7 days to explore it and to finish everything before we go to Mauritius for a few days and return to Kenya to another project.

Among so many projects the truth is that I never have time to doll up. In fact, the last time was at Christmas, not even on New Year’s Eve which is a date where all girls get dressed up, since I was in the middle of climbing Kilimanjaro. One of the things I really miss is literally take my time to dress up, which was something I did every weekend in Panama with some event that I had to attend or to have dinner with my friends.

When we arrived Reunion one of the things we wanted to do was just take a day out to have a nice dinner where we would take the time to get dressed and enjoy it mainly because the hotel lent itself to that atmosphere. LUX*Saint Gilles is a super classic hotel with lovely creole architecture, refined in a tropical environment. Just imagine a tropical Paris, not even kidding!

From the moment I arrived at the hotel I knew it was the perfect time to get my favorite outfit that I had in my suitcase and that I had not had the opportunity to wear yet: a white mermaid skirt from Fame and Partners, this blue multi stripe top, my pearls and my heels!

I have always loved investing in classic statement pieces that make me feel super feminine like this skirt I’m not only obsessed with the mermaid style but it also has ruffles that are my favorite to wear in tropical environments.

Investing in pieces like this white skirt for me is a staple in any girl’s closet as it is not only a classic piece that you can combine in many ways but can even work for a tropical wedding!

I hope you liked this look !! I will be sharing more photos of Reunion soon so stay tuned.

Love

    I completely feel you on feeling like you don’t have a single moment to dress up when traveling! Especially more so when one has been traveling so extensively as you have been 🙂 I’m glad you took the conscious decision to dress up and enjoy a lovely evening as it’s equally important to simply and rest and relax. The look you chose is right up my alley- elegant and sophisticated while perfectly in theme with the island and resort. The wrap top is so versatile and chic, while the mermaid hem skirt is so special as well. The front slit is also a great detail! And you paired the look perfectly with pearls and heels. Glad you had a chance to dress up and relax!

    Can we just trade lives for a day. I hope you enjoyed your stay and experienced a lot while there. This outfit is so very gorgeous on you. I am loving the top and how it is styled with the skirt. That skirt is so unique and I’m always looking for new and unique fashion to fill my closet.

    I would love to visit where you are! It sounds absolutely divine! Tropical Island and France mash up?! Count me in! I’d imagine you don’t have much time to catch up while your working on location! You look absolutely stunning in your Fame and Partners Skirt. I adore them! I love any brand that allows customization like they do! I also loved the gorgeous top you paired with it! Such a stunning look!

    A tropical Paris? That sounds too good to be true, haha. But seriously it must have felt good to finally get some of the dust off and be able to dress up nicely for a change (not that you ever look anything else than nice, but you know what I mean). Posting twice a day? Jeez, that’s an insane rate, but at the same time, your experiences in Africa are a pleasure to read!

    Mi niña la falda es increíble, pero es que el top me tiene más que enamorada! Poco a poco te pondrás al día, lo que cuenta es que tienes que disfrutar de todo lo que estás viviendo (e ir contándonos claro jajaja)

    Un besito enorme

    Wow you look sooooo pretty. I am so loving the top and skirt. The pop of yellow really adds a cute element to the whole outfit and the combo of blue stripes and yellow is just so pretty.
