We’re home, and I’ve left my heart in Bali. The blistering blue skies, candid sunsets, balmy nights, and slow-paced attitude won over my hippie tendencies and is already pulling me back for more. Vacations are always enjoyable when it comes to relaxing poolside, or doing just about nothing with your favourite people, but I’m infinitely drawn when I step into an atmosphere that makes me act at home. Within 24 hours I was enquiring about affordable long-term rentals and possibilities of raising my daughter amongst all the other barefooted children. The distinct elements of slow friendly local life mixed with a nomadic expat surfer crowd is everything I crave. We hopped from luxe restaurants, deserted beaches, villas perched in secluded jungles, to organic alternative cafes and trendy rooftop cocktailing. What more could I ask for?
I’m so happy I had Melissa Odabash’s SS15 collection to accompany me on this enlightening journey. Her loose and flattering dresses and cover-ups were ideal in the hot and humid weather and looked amazing billowing on the back of a moped or traipsing through the neighboring rice patties. Her swimwear for children was also exceptionally cute and Ever was always comfy on beach and pool excursions. A definite must pack on all our wanderlusting adventures.
