- Kelly de Gaalon, Founder of Gaâla.
Crafted from the finest upcycled viscose, the Astrid dress showcases a flattering V-neck and a graceful fit-and-flare silhouette, gently cinched at the waist and flared out toward the hem. The design is beautifully accented by a chic tie-back detail, gracefully crisscrossing at the open back.

Summer Travel Capsule Wardrobe: Smart Packing Tips for Lightweight Travel
Leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when you will be back again? Lucky you!
Streamline your packing process with these helpful tips. Whether you're jetting off to a tropical paradise or exploring urban streets, these tips will help you pack efficiently while staying stylish and comfortable throughout your journey.
- Plan Outfits in Advance: Plan out your outfits for each trip day before packing. Choose versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create multiple looks.
- Stick to a Color Scheme: Opt for a cohesive color scheme to ensure that all your clothing pieces can be easily paired together. Neutrals like white, beige, and navy work well, along with one or two accent colors for variety.
- Choose Lightweight Fabrics: Choose clothing from lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen. These materials will keep you cool and comfortable, especially in hot and humid climates.
- Pack Multi-Functional Items: Look for clothing items that serve multiple purposes, such as a convertible maxi dress that can be worn as a beach cover-up during the day and dressed up for dinner in the evening.
- Layer Wisely: Bring a few lightweight layers, like a cardigan or denim jacket, to accommodate changing weather conditions or chilly evenings.
- Accessorize Strategically: Accessories like scarves, hats, and statement jewelry can add variety to your outfits without taking up much space in your luggage. Choose pieces that can be mixed and matched with multiple outfits.
- Limit Shoes: Shoes are often the bulkiest items to pack, so limit yourself to just a few pairs that can be worn with multiple outfits. A pair of comfortable walking shoes, sandals, and one dressier option should suffice for most trips.
- Utilize Packing Cubes: Invest in packing cubes or compression bags to maximize space in your suitcase and keep your clothing organized.
- Consider Laundry Facilities: If you'll have access to laundry facilities during your trip, pack fewer clothing items and plan to do laundry midway through your vacation to lighten your load.
- Leave Room for Souvenirs: Lastly, leave some space in your suitcase for souvenirs or new clothing purchases you may make during your travels. This will prevent you from cramming everything into your luggage on the return journey.
