My Bora Bora Island Wardrobe

It was really hard not to title this blog post “My Bora Bora Wara War… drobe”. Anyway, moving on.

Putting together outfits in Bora Bora is almost as fun and breezy as the island is itself, and to be honest I didn’t really put “outfits together” in such a formal sense, I kind of just wore whatever I felt like. I wanted fun bikinis for the day time, and more loose fitting, flowing pieces for the dinner hours.

I did however make a few crucial packing mistakes, one of which was sunscreen (who am I?! WHO FORGETS SUNSCREEN?!) and the other of which was sandals… which to my defense I think I did actually pack, but stupidly left on the plane on our flight over from LA. Thus you may notice a lack of footwear in my outfits, which is due to this minor hiccup but is also conveniently overall acceptable on this island. There were worse things that could have been forgotten on that flight, such a laptop, which Zack may or may not have left himself… (He did. We miraculously located it and with the help of The Four Seasons team, had it sent over to us in Bora Bora. Crisis averted.)

*Side note, I do not recommend ditching your shoes as an intentional islandic fashion statement if you visit Bora Bora. I won’t get into details, but my feet are currently in dire need of some R&R after spending 8 days running around barefoot on extremely uneven and unbearably warm (to put it lightly) Bora Bora terrain.

But aside from those few mishaps (my skin is very verrrry dangerously tan, also not recommended as skin protection is key) I was very happy with what I packed for Bora Bora and hope you enjoy these photos we took throughout our trip! As always, I will link as many of the exact pieces I am wearing as possible at the end of and throughout this post.
