I received product from Yala Designs for my review. All opinions are my own.

I should start this review off with a bit of a disclaimer- I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Yala Designs clothing. I have be a fan of theirs for years now. Not only do I love their merchandise but I also continue to be impressed with their customer service and the mission of the company.

Yala Designs believes in sustainable business. They believe we should all lend a helping hand in making the world a better and more beautiful place to live. Yala Designs walks the walk and talks the talk. They go out of their way to leave little to no footprint. They drive electric trucks, participate in Green Shipping, recycle, reduce and reuse on a regular basis. They are also members of Solar Pioneers, Green America and Organic Trade Association. Last but not least, the Yala Designs clothing line, Bamboo Dreams, is Oeko-Tec certified. This means it has passed screening for harmful substances. Low impact Azo-free dyes are used on their clothing.

For my review, I received a Lisa Top in the Mandarin Brushstroke. The Lisa Top is from the Bamboo Dreams clothing line. If you have never felt bamboo textile, you are in for a treat; it is so soft! Bamboo is naturally antibacterial. It is a light and breathable material that also helps regulate body temperatures. It is easy to launder and comes out looking as good as new.

The Lisa Top I received has a beautiful solid mandarin front and an eye-catching brushstroke pattern in the back. The front has a flattering V-neck line and a figure friendly pleat in the back.

I love the longer hip length hem. I chose to wear my Lisa top with royal blue skinny jeans, jeweled silver sandals and a silver statement necklace.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
