The last two weeks I travelled through Yucatán and I have so many impressions to share with you. My final destination was the luxe-hippie beach town of Tulum on Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula, a place I fell in love with. Beautiful white-sand beaches, active social life, and the laidback lifestyle of a beach town, it is somehow cosmic and natural at once. So the print of the dress and the color of the shoes were a perfect fit. As I am very particular about my clothes, I had promised myself not to bring anything expensive or too fancy. This is the most fashionable I got on this trip and between us it is definitely not Tulum style. As one told me: «Tulum is hippie, golden sandals». There is not one place you can wear high heels and funnily enough, I loved it!
My look: Printed midi dress and green heels, both by Zara, beaded Mexican-style clip earrings by Etro, Possession 18-karat rose gold diamond ring by Piaget, Tonda Métropolitaine watch by Parmigiani Fleurier and quilted bag by Chanel.

Right now, I am so much dreaming about a sunshine getaway. Honestly, I cannot wait for the holidays to start. Great news is that Ancient Greek Sandals has the right footwear made for us. The gorgeous shoe brand has collaborated with Caravana – the brand founded by Francesca Bonato, owner of famous Tulum resort Coqui Coqui – meaning that for the first time the sandals will be made in Mexico rather than in Greece.
The collection is sold in the Coqui Coqui boutique in Tulum and at www.net-à-porter.com
