If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I have been ill this week, and so have been cheering myself up by looking over holiday photos and therefore I decided to put together a selection of beach photos for this weeks blog post on beach vibes.
Beach vibes
Read on for more details about beach vibes, why a maxi dress is so versatile and more photos.
Summer, to me, is always associated with the beach, and nothing beats the feeling of de-stressing you get when you spend a day relaxing on the beach followed by cocktails in a local beachside bar looking at the waves and maybe a barbecue or dinner in a beachside restaurant!
I have two staple outfits for the beach – obviously one is a bikini, which I usually just pair with denim shorts for sunbathing and the other is a maxi dress or skirt!
The obvious advantage of the maxi dress is that it is not confined to only the beach and you can easily wear it for shopping, brunching and transition from day to night (unlike a bikini which has a fairly limited location range!).
It is also an effortless worry-free one piece solution as you don’t have to worry about what to style it with, just minimal accessories.
I love this printed maxi dress from Forever 21 as it is easily wearable for lunch get-togethers, shopping, sight-seeing, evenings out and it is also so comfortable.
Just looking at these photos makes me feel better and I hope that many of you will have a great weekend getaway coming up. However, you don’t need to be at the beach to have a great relaxed time -just throw on a swimsuit and a maxi dress and take some time out! Throw down a towel in your garden (weather permitting) or even in your living room, make up your favourite cocktail, put on some wave music and enjoy!
The dress is from Forever 21 (no longer available – but I have put in the link to the dress page as many of them are also on sale.

Thank you
Gorgeous photos! Nothing like some tranquil time at the beach. Love this maxi dress too! I am such a fan of maxi’s and have found some great ones at Forever 21 before too! Such a staple for me during the summer, or anytime of the year actually as I live in LA!!
Thanks for sharing these lovely pics!
Yes, maxis are perfect in LA. I wear them all the time when I am in LA, yet I feel really weird wearing a maxi in London or Paris!
Aren’t beach memories the best to lift your spirits? Hope you are feeling completely recovered. I love that dress, by the way. It’s so perfect for a day and/or evening next to the ocean. 🙂 XO, Janea
Thank you- feeling much better and beach memories are definitely the best pick-me-up (although actually being at the beach would be even better!) xx
