Here are some pictures from a while ago that I had not yet shared with you. I wanted to keep them for the height of summer!
These were taken at the Maldives where the colors truly are magical.
In these pictures I found myself stranded on a small sand bank surrounded by the clear waters of the sea filled with fish, including small sharks swimming all around us.
We came here by boat and had just spent some dreamy time snorkelling at the nearby reefs.
It was the perfect location to photograph this colorful dress which has been in my spare closet for years. It’s one of those dresses that you only wear on a tropical holiday and it was the perfect dress to be photographed on this magical spot.
I just adore the colors of this dress which look so good on me. It was bought in Bali for very little years ago, and it’s the only strapless garment I own.
On this trip I wore it for breakfast or diner in the evening. It truly is the perfect dress for tropical weather.
The sandbank was a magical spot that I will never forget, even though we only spend 15 minutes on it. These sandbanks are actually owned by resorts so if people from the resort want to use it, then it’s off limits. Our resort did not own a sandbank so we were lucky to find a time when noone was on it. Just as we were leaving a whole group of locals who ‘booked’ the sand bank came here for a BBQ and celebration. Quite the spot to do so!
Do you have special dresses that you only wear on holidays?

Indeed a very pretty dress. And it makes you look good too (always a very important feature of a dress). You lead a rotten life don’t you? LOL
Love the Maldives and love the dress too – I have a selection of dresses which I keep in NZ for when I am there – somehow they don’t work in Europe but I practically live in them when I am in NZ 😉
So picture perfect!
Love the pics Sylvia! Sabina | Oceanblue Style

Gorgeous dress! Gorgeous model! Gorgeous location. I have been checking your Instagram and trip through Canada and thought for a second when I saw this photo: WOW! Where is that!? How could I have missed this in my own country? Hahaha. The next vacation I go on will definitely include a special dress along these lines.
You wear this dress so well! You have such confidence. Lovely photos.
