If you’re not from Eastern Europe you might not instantly recognise the title of this post, but it’s the same name of an old and very good movie (Google it!). It doesn’t actually have anything to do with white maxi dresses but it has a desert and the sea and I think it sounds pretty!

We shot this look at sunset, just down the beach from our villa at Al Yamm Anantara resort and the light could not have been more perfect. This Alice + Olivia Nomi Goddess gown has that wow factor that doesn’t require too much. You can jazz it up with some gold jewellery, Greek sandals and a sweet mini bag, but I wanted to strip it back to no shoes and a simple up do. If I’m honest I didn’t think this style would suit me as I rarely opt for full length silhouettes or plunge necklines, but the delicate material and nice touch with the braid detail makes it fun and modern. And with the summer not far off, nothing beats a white floaty dress for exploring the narrow streets of Mykonos or chilling out on the golden Caribbean beaches!

Let me know what you think below and I’ll see you back here on Thursday for my Anantara Sir Bani Yas roundup x
