Desert & Bohemian Maxi

Our travel diary day 3 is still in Kuaui, Hawaii. That day we decided to take a break from the beach to do some fun discovery of the island of Kuaui, so here the three of us hopped on the road and drove off to an unknown destination.   By far this set of photos is my most favorite. It gives a feeling of (somewhat) being in a desert. We didn't think there would be such place on this lush and green tropical island. The copper colored sand provides such a pretty backdrop and the bright blue sky simply adds a beautiful contrast, mother nature creates amazing sights and scenes. We got off for a little bit and saw that a little road could lead to a beach. Unfortunately we couldn't make it there because a little one got cranky half way so we made a quick U-turn and regretably got back in the car.       Dress: C/O SammyDress - Behemian Style Maxi Dress review below Necklace: DIY [here]  Sandals: from Bangkok  

      Here is my first take (second and third to come in the future posts) on a Maxi dress and I love how comfy and easy maxi dress could be. When SammyDress contacted me a few months ago to select their dresses, I went straight to the Maxi dresses section knowing I could use some for the trip.   I have to admit that I didn't have high hope/expectation based on prices and knowing the site is one of the wholesale places due to my past experiences ordering from similar sites located in Asia - particulary China. I ended up picking two dresses for under $15.   Shipping: Can't comment on this one because the shipment was sent for review purpose. Standard shipping time might be as fast or slow, I am not sure   Prices: Incredibly low. Now remember you can't always get quality when they stash the prices.   Quality: As expected, both dress and its lining is extremely sheer (I had to wear something underneath). Sewing seems to be done poorly. Just carefully check the seamings to make sure that no stichings come loose before you wear. In my case, I had to trim extra yarns peeking out in many spots. Since I was lazy and late in finding stuff to bring to Hawaii, all the summer stuff had alraedy been picked up. It didn't leave me much choice but to make this baby work  - and it somehow worked!   If you are looking to find a fashionable, very affordable and unique dress (regardless of quality) to wear just for fun, they do have endless selections to suit your fancy.       Our hot ride while in Kuauai       It wouldn't be Kuaui if you didn't spot any chickens!!! They are such symbols. Did I say everywhere??       This song is just so perfect when looking at the background in these photos
