Sunset Madness by ANN SALENS

When the night falls in Buzios the beach goers make their way to the small bars and lounges that litter this little party town by the sea. If you want to keep the Bardot style alive you are going to want to don an uber dress that will call attention to your innate style and also make sure you get the best tables.

What`s more, you are by the sea and you will look like an emerged Iemanja, the goddess of the sea that Brazilians offer sacrifices too on New Year`s Eve when you walk in wearing this ombre tassel dress.

Thanks to a blogging fan, we have discovered that this dress is most likely an ANN SALENS original...one of the early Antwerp 6...and likely quite collectible!
