It wouldn’t be a trip to Dubai without a few photos with the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the city with a total of 160 stories. Burj Park had a pretty good view of the monument so that’s where we headed to shoot this look and check out the views along the water.
And here is the Burj Khalifa in all its glory! You can actually purchase a ticket to go to the top and while I bet that would offer some amazing views of Dubai, we figured it wouldn’t be worth the risk going with Lila so we chose to use it as a backdrop. It was so funny because my husband literally laid down on the ground to fit the entire building in this shot. That’s true love, right?!
This outfit was actually unplanned and I threw it together with items I had packed for our trip—but it made me realize how my Brahmin backpack literally goes with every outfit. Besides my black tee and denim skirt combo, I wore it with a green striped dress (see yesterday’s post) and another red dress, and it looked great with everything. If you need just one neutral colored bag this summer, I highly recommend this color (it’s called ‘Chino’), and if you’re not crazy about backpacks it’s available in lots of other handbag styles here.
I hope you’re all having a wonderful week and thanks so much for taking a moment to visit today!
