A new “What I Wore on Instagram” post has been long overdue – so here it is! For the last two months I’ve had a few favorite accessories on heavy rotation that compliment a variety of outfits (primarily dresses). Since many of my items are from last season or were purchased abroad I did my best to link to similar pieces if the original item is no longer available. I’m hoping to share more posts on style and fashion when I’m back in the states (and no longer living out of a suitcase!), until then I hope this helps you prepare for your own warm-weather adventures in the coming months!
White Short-sleeve popover // Yellow Floral Circle Skirt // White Ankle-wrap Sandals (old, similar) // Leather Belt (old, similar and buy two sizes up so you can tie it) // Rocio Viola Handbag c/o // Tortoise Sunglasses (old, similar here) // Classic Pearl Earrings (more affordable option) // Classic Straw Hat (old, perfect match here, more affordable version here)
When taking bush planes between safari lodges, luggage is restricted to 20kg per person in soft-sided duffles. We are obsessed with our leather duffles from Very Troubled Child with their whimsical animal designs inspired by the luggage in Wes Anderson’s Darjeeling Limited.
White Wrap Top (old, similar here, and I love this one) // Brown Cigarette Pants (old, similar) // Leather Espadrille Loafers // Very Troubled Child duffles (My bag, David’s bag) c/o // Aviators (old, similar) // Classic Pearl Earrings (more affordable option)
I love this ruffled silk beach coverup from Palmona Blue and have been wearing it in beachy destinations around the world. (See it in Greece here and Vietnam here.) The tie waist is so flattering and works well thrown over a bathing suit. I found an original bamboo ark bag from the 1970s while in Provence last summer and enjoyed toting it around while we were in the Seychelles – it’s roomy enough for sunscreen, a magazine and bottle of water!
Paloma Blue Dress (my print is sold out, but they have this navy star print, burgundy stars and this pretty red floral print) // Bamboo Ark Bag
Red Striped Shirtdress (old, similar with short-sleeves, less expensive version) // Classic Straw Hat (old, perfect match here, more affordable version here) // Vintage Silk Scarf (old, similar)
I discovered Rocio UK‘s beautiful collection of wooden handbags while in the UK before Christmas. Their ladylike designs are made entirely of lacquered wood in a range of gorgeous colors and classic silhouettes that pair perfectly with spring and summer dresses.
Tropical Wrap Dress (old, similar here, short version here) // Rocio Viola Handbag c/o // Classic Straw Hat (old, perfect match here, more affordable version here) // Statement Earrings
This white shirtdress is my favorite travel dress because it is so versatile. The eyelet cutouts make it comfortable in hot weather but the short sleeves and midi hem ensure you’re covered enough when visiting more conservative cultures. A packing essential in my book!
White Eyelet Shirtdress (old, almost exact match) // Leather Belt (old, similar and buy two sizes up so you can tie it) // Leather Espadrille Loafers // Classic Straw Hat (old, perfect match here, more affordable version here)

This yellow dress was one of my favorite fashion finds of the trip. It’s from a South African store called Poetry, which is similar to an Anthropologie. While the dress is sold out, I’ve linked to similar styles below and recommend checking out their stores if you are planning a trip to South Africa!
