How stunning is this Alice & Olivia wrap dress?! Wrap dresses are classic wardrobe staples, but the metallic floral fabric used for this Alice & Olivia wrap dress makes it feel fresh and trendy while maintaining the classic silhouette. This dress is from the Spring 2018 collection by Alice & Olivia. I went to the S/S 2018 Alice & Olivia presentation during New York Fashion Week in September (I did a full blog review of the Alice & Olivia NYFW Presentation) and have been dying to get my hands on pieces from the collection ever since. When I found this wrap dress in stores last month I knew I had to have it.
This dress is my first Spring 2018 Alice & Olivia piece and I am so impressed by the quality of the fabric and the attention to detail. It is a bit low cut if you are bigger chested (I actually safety pinned it at the chest!) but other than that it is a pretty perfect dress. The best part for all of you guys is that right now it is 40% off! Such an incredible deal for a well-made, beautiful designer piece.

One thing I really like about this outfit is it’s versatility. I’m able to wear this to a work meeting, a blog meeting, & happy hour drinks. I also like that the fabric is breathable and flows/moves when you walk. I definitely plan on packing this Alice & Olivia wrap dress for some of travels this summer. (Here’s my list of where I’m traveling to this spring & summer, in case you missed it!)
I think the dress will be perfect for exploring new cities, and I will be wearing it with this bag because this bag is the perfect travel handbag. It is the perfect size and shape for travel- since it can be worn cross body and perfectly fits a wallet, sunglasses, and some makeup.
Since this is an outfit I’ll be wearing on my travels this summer, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share with you my travel bucket list. If you’ve been following me for a while you probably know that I love to travel. I have been to I think 34 countries now?? Something like that anyway! I’ve been sharing a lot more travel content here on LegalLee Blonde lately (be sure to check out the travel tab on my homepage!) and I plan on sharing more and more travel content over the next year.
So, today I am sharing my “Travel Bucket List”; the cities/countries that I still need to travel to. Here goes:
1. Bali, Indonesia: This has been on my list since I was a teenager! I definitely want to check out the culture and environment of Bali. I also so want to stay in this tree house and need to stop by this cafe for the prettiest smoothie bowls ever.
2. Croatia: Luckily I won’t have to wait much longer to cross this one off my bucket list! My best friend Sarah & I will be traveling around Croatia (Zagreb, Split & Dubrovnik) in August! My heritage is Croatian (my grandpa immigrated to Canada as a child) and so I have always wanted to see where he comes from. I still have some cousins in Croatia, who I’ve never met, so I hope to meet up with them as well!
3. Bora Bora, French Polynesia: Let’s be real, Bora Bora is pretty much the closest place to paradise on earth. And staying in the over the water bungalows would be an absolute dream!
4. Austin, Texas: I’ve done a fair bit of travel outside of North America, but somehow haven’t visited nearly as many U.S. cities as I would like to. I hear Austin is all kinds of amazing weirdness and I definitely want to check it out!
5. Nashville, Tennessee: Same as above! I’ve heard great things about Nashville and definitely want to explore it.
6. Big Sur, California: I say Big Sur, but let’s be real, I really just want to explore all of California. I lived in San Diego for 4 months back in 2008, and travel to LA & San Fran fairly often, but the rest of California is still a mystery to me!
7. Banff & Lake Louise, AB, Canada: The fact that I haven’t been here when it is practically my own backyard is crazy! I definitely want to plan a winter trip here for this coming winter. It seems so serene & insanely beautiful.
8. Cappadocia, Turkey: Last but not certainly not least on my list; Turkey! And more specifically, Cappadocia. I would love to visit Cappadocia during the Hot Air Balloon Festival, but honestly there is a ton to explore in Turkey so I’d be happy to go anytime!

I’ve been to … none of these destinations! I travel a lot but elsewhere! I was very happy to be in Vancouver last year! On my list and very high: New Zealand!
And your floral dress outfit is very nice 😉

Ahh I love that you visited Vancouver; I hope you loved it! And yes, New Zealand is pretty amazing! I was only there for 3 days and definitely want to go back!
Oh yes absolutely Lee! It was a fantastic stay and visiting Stanley park on a bike was an amazing experience! I’ll fly back in Canada this summer but in Toronto this time. Have a great day xx
Ah Stanley Park really is the best! And you’ll LOVE Toronto as well! I lived there for 5 years; it’s such a cool city. A lot more culture and a a lot more fast-paced than Vancouver.
What a lovely dress!
Sincerely, Jennie
