Friday's Feature: Spring Florals

I was very on board with the floral trend last summer (and every summer before that) but I was happy to see this year that it carried into the winter.  I'm even happier that it's time again for the pastel and bright floral patterns to grace the stores.  This style/season of clothing is much more my jam than winter things.

We're heading right into the season of spring holidays and brunches/dinners (Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day), wedding showers and rehearsal dinners, baby showers, and just any old excuse to dress up, right?  I took my nice long break from shopping post holidays because I really couldn't bare to look at the winter stock any longer but now I'd be lying if I didn't say I am craving the warm weather AND spring clothing.

Today I'm taking a look at some of my favorite floral pieces that are available now (and some may or may not be on the way to me!).  Most are under $100 and it might not be quite time for these items yet (unless you live more towards the south, and in that case - I'm jealous!) but these probably won't still be around come April/May…

top: one (Easter dress hopeful!) | two | three | four (looks so comfy!) | five (new as in new I placed a multi floral dress order the other day and this popped up as "NEW" the next day and went right into my cart - perfection! )
bottom: six | seven (great for a casual work day) | eight | nine (perfect for a bridal shower) 


And I can't leave out the accessories...
necklace (the perfect touch to so many looks!) | clutch (splurge but how amazing are the colors!) sneakers | watch (would go with so many looks!) | bathing suit | flats | travel bag (I always give Derek my bag to hold in the airport and this roller has caught my eye!) phone case

Other Happenings:
+ Did anyone see Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's photo shoot with their pups to decorate the new baby's nursery?  I see this whole scene in my, Derek and Stella's future.  If I didn't love Chrissy before, love her even more now! (article here)

+ I'm sure everyone heard the news of Fuller House being back for a second season.  Despite the cheesiness (I mean the original was pretty cheesy too!) the show made me very nostalgic, I loved it and I'm excited that it's back for more - hoping that it's filming when we're out west this summer!

+ Emily did a really fun Disney tag recently (I know a lot of people have been to Disney recently, are going soon or just plain love Disney!) and Holly shared a delicious chicken, broccoli and ziti recipe - definitely adding this to our menu soon!

+ I did a Q & A series the week before last and am planning to do a part two.  If you have any questions for the gal behind this blog, share them below and I'll try to address them in that post!

Cheers to the weekend! Enjoy

  44. I love all the floral dresses. I live in California so most days year round are perfectly appropriate for flowers! I am kind of jealous of people who actually get to wear winter clothes.
