Printed Maxi Dresses For Spring/Summer

It’s has been a while since my last post but I’m now back and hope to be a bit more active getting blog posts out. I’m sure you have all noticed lots of maxi dresses on the high streets and internet shops. They are no more reserved for evenings but can be worn throughout the day and night. A maxi dress is a statement piece, especially if the print is as beautiful as this one. I love wearing maxi dresses in summer, mostly because they are very comfortable, such as the one I’m showing in this post. I can just pull on a maxi dress and go. Getting dress is less stressful and they don’t need much effort when it comes to styling.

Thailand – Chiang Rai

I find Bangkok exciting and always looked forward to going there. This time I was so disappointed because of the air pollution. It was the worst ever. It was difficult to find face masks so I had to wear a regular surgical mask as all N95 masks ( protects from the smaller particles) were sold out.

Schools were closed due to toxic air pollution. Imagine that! I have never seen a place where so many people wore masks because of smog. Seriously! I must admit retail therapy did help me forget all about the pollution for a while. My favourite mall is Paragon where you can find top international brands and local designers alike. Chiang Mai is north of Bangkok, about an hour and ten minutes flight away and surrounded by mountains. Believe…
