 Kalin Top in Paradise

The BambooDreams® Kalin Top is a wardrobe essential: cool, comfy and au courant! The Kalin Top stands alone or layers beautifully with all three of our BambooDreams® wraps, and it can go from casual to corporate with ease.

 Luna Dress in Peach

The BambooDreams® Luna Dress is a spirited addition to our dress collection. Simple lines, above-knee length and gathering at both the back and front give the Luna Dress (and you) a lively, lovely silhouette.

 Maddy Tunic

The BambooDreams® Maddy Tunic has a feminine scoop neck and is sleeveless without being strappy. It drapes beautifully to a mid-thigh length with a little extra length at the sides, and pairs beautifully with our BambooDreams® Cropped or Full Length Leggings. 

 Lightweight PashBu®

There are so many ways to wear our super soft PashBu, you’ll want them in multiple colors. Knot it around your neck for that hip, urban style. Wind it around and over your favorite denim jacket for an iconic celebrity look. Or drape it elegantly over the shoulders of your little black dress.

Until next time,

Happy Easter!

Every Chocolate Lover's Dream: Chocolate Makers Dinner Review

There are some things in life one simply cannot resist. Chocolate is one of those things for my boyfriend, Justin. If a chocolate bar is opened he will finish the whole thing, and still want more. Not a milk chocolate generic brand, but organic 70% dark chocolate - the spendy kind. So when the Ashland Chocolate Festival approached this year I knew it was the perfect opportunity for a surprise treat. 

 

Ashland Springs Hotel

 

I carefully looked over the list of festival events being held that weekend, and my eye kept coming back to the Chocolate Makers Dinner held at the Ashland Springs Hotel. It looked absolutely amazing, each course containing a hint of chocolate: white chocolate, coco nib, chocolate chipotle, dark chocolate, oh my! Being that Justin is also an excellent cook, I decided this was the event for us. Now I just needed an outfit...

 Whisper Lace Bandeau, Full Length Leggings and Cashmere Scarf 

Lucky for me, when you are in need of outfit inspiration, Yala always comes to the rescue. I picked out Yala's Athena Tunic in black, added a Whisper Lace Bandeau also in black for a little extra coverage and paired with Full Length Leggings, again in black. With all that black, I needed a little color. Yala's Cashmere Scarf in Sorbet added the perfect touch for the evening.

 

Justin was appropriately surprised and excited as we entered the Ashland Springs Hotel and headed up to the ballroom. The tables were set beautifully, and the room was packed with people and chocolate martinis!

 

Needless to say the meal topped my lists of bests, there was only a hint of chocolate in each dish, never overpowering the rich tastes of the food. Justin was of course in heaven... Now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the menu!
