Sunhatted Splendor

Happy Canada Day everyone!

While I hope that the rest of my fellow Canadians are enjoying a beautiful and relaxing day off, I am presently working for a few hours before I can join all of y'all in the bright sunshine (and thirty degree weather). Nevertheless, I am feeling quite joyous and happy today as I'm becoming extremely excited about my Asia trip that I will be leaving for on Sunday night! I started packing a few nights ago but still feel like there's so much that I have to prepare for. 

While the trip has been preoccupying much of my thoughts lately, I've also been concentrating on enjoying as much quality time with my friends around Vancouver during my last few days in Canada. For instance, I attended a wedding on Saturday, went horseback riding on Sunday for the first time, and had some girl time with one of my best friends on Monday. Talk about a packed schedule!

(Please forgive the slight wrinkling on the dress, I wore it right out of the packaging as I had no time to iron it out.)

On an equally as important note, let's talk about this amazing dress that I received courtesy of eShakti! I had seen several other bloggers wearing some lovely pieces from this wonderful site and was impressed by the variety and quality of each item. So of course when the site approached me for a collaboration, I was very much excited to have one of their products for my own! I chose this beautiful chevron-stripe-esque maxi dress as I fell in love with its full maxi skirt and vibrant colours. When I tried it on for the first time, I was quite astonished by the heaviness and great quality of the fabric and material. Usually dresses nowadays are quite lightweight and of poor quality, so I could definitely feel a difference in this instance.

Other than the beautiful pieces available on this site, eShakti is known for being an all-sizes-friendly (sizes 0-36) online boutique in which customization is affordable and easy. With the options made available to customers when ordering a particular item, you are able to ensure that your clothing piece will perfectly suit your height, hips, waist, and other important elements. I highly recommend that you check out the site today and see for yourself what a difference customization makes in your wardrobe!

Other than the dress, I was also excited to wear for the first time this enormous sun hat. I recently bought it at Ever New for half price and was quite disappointed that I was only able to acquire such a glamorous piece after I had attended a live raceday at the Hastings Racecourse for the first time (think Ascot in My Fair Lady or the Kentucky Derby). Nevertheless, I hope to get some good wear out of this piece before the summer is through!
