Whether you’re going abroad or having a stay-cation now is the perfect time to wear a full length day dress. I picked up this River Island maxi dress recently, initially attracted to the Aztec style print, however the fabric is perfect for the warm weather.I have other maxi dresses in heavier fabric that cling to the skin when warm, thank fully this is very lightweight and not restrictive due to the splits at either leg.

Keeping with a bohemian style in mind I chose to have beachy waves and hair jewellery from Newlook that delicately drapes the back of the head or looks chic over a pony tail.
