Simultaneously giving you the cold shoulder and being coquettishly sweet is a breeze with a favorite trend of mine.  Baring skin in cold shoulder blouses is still a hot commodity.  It hasn’t missed a beat since I first started seeing them about a year and half ago.

You can’t stop seeing this trend everywhere and I’m not mad at it.  It’s romantic and feminine so of course I always need just one more.

How can you not appreciate a floral dress this time of year especially when it’s mixed with a lovely checkered print?!  I’ve partnered with Simply Be showcasing a spring look that’s perfect for brunch or high tea with the ladies. 

Have you received your copy of Simply Be’s Spring Catalog?!  The glossy fashion filled pages will leave you with heart eyes (insert appropriate emoji here)!

I’ve tagged up my catalog with my faves and a lot of them are dresses — surprising?!

Spring forward with spring dresses!  I can’t get enough of this simple black and white print with a touch of a floral surprise hem!

ModCloth is a champion of all things cute and colorful and if you’re in need for a Spring dress that is going to make a statement it’s definitely the place to go.

I am absolutely obsessed with the ModCloth label.  As you may know they launched their own private label last year and it’s truly made with their customers in mind.

How sharp and sweet is a two piece set?!  It’s multi functional, smart and cute to boot!  Simply Be nailed it with this crop top/full skirt combo in an amazing and bold floral print. 

I am immediately attracted to crop top sets because I can get so much wear from just on particular look.  But wearing this duo together is boldly feminine flower bomb print with a bit of cheekiness.  Only baring a sliver of belly for modest flare.

Decided to pull out an oldie but goodie for my Sunday meeting.  The bright floral print and quirky sweetheart neckline reminded me of why I love this vintage inspired dress so much!

Don’t you love when you rediscover a fashion gem in your closet.  It’s like shopping without having to spend money.  Totally winning.

Unfortunately this dress is over a year old so it’s no longer available at ModCloth but I’ve rounded up so pretty floral frocks below that are now available and up to 40% off!

April showers are long gone and May flowers seem to be in full bloom!  I’m back with a brand new post that’s perfect to welcome the summer season with style. 

Charlotte Russe + has a great selection of dresses, skirts, and rompers that are beyond perfect for summer.

I especially love the sweet and edgy details that take these looks to the next level.  Lots of  fringe, crotchet, and cutouts that show just enough skin!

I’ve managed to style a look with some of my favorite things: food, flowers, polka dots and butterflies. 

Voodoo Vixen London sent me a few items from their new Plus Summer Collection and if you love vintage inspired dresses you’re going to love it as much as I do.  I definitely have a few faves from the summer collection including my outfit featuring the Cresida Cardigan and the adorable Jemima Dress.

“The fact is, sometimes it’s really hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes. That’s why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun.”

Carrie Bradshaw

For me truer words have never been spoken.

Granted they are the words of a fictional character but any SATC fan well knows those Carrie B one liners that were the perfect combination of rom com cliché and epic enlightenment.

I know I have a lot of favorite go to looks (jeans & a graphic tee, a maxi dress, moto jacket with ankle pants, dress with a blazer).  But my ultimate and most favorite go to look ever has to be a soft knit top mixed with a pretty tulle skirt.

I restyle this look with variation through accessories and shoes but it’s built with the same staple pieces.   I’m wearing my new favorite knit sweater from the Jennifer Lopez + Collection and the tulle skirt is from Lauren Conrad’s Disney Cinderella Collection both from Kohl’s.

Have you tapped in on the power of the maxi dress?  Not to be overdramatic or anything but I think it’s unparalleled to any other spring time wardrobe staple because 1) it automatically gives you a long graceful silhouette and 2) the perks of being super comfortable.  Not to mention it looks great on basically everyone.  I fell in love with this particular floral number from Igigi.  

Living in Florida I’ve learned that typical weekend fashions tend to be laid back, beachy and simple.

I love sharing new fashion retailers and news with my readers especially when it’s featuring items that are very much me.  Maggi London has recently launched a brand new plus size line called The London Times Curve & the beautiful fearless Grisel Angel of RebDolls is the new face of the line.  

I will be styling two looks from their current Resort Collection and in a few weeks from their unreleased Spring Collection which I am positive that you will absolutely love.

Have you recovered from your lost hour from daylight savings?  OK, so once you’ve recovered from your sleep deprived stupor, think about enjoying sunlight well past 8pm.

Or better yet, close your eyes and think about how everything will becoming alive again; green yards thriving, blooming gardens, blue skies.  Are you with me?

Ok so besides all of that, daylight savings means that Spring is around the corner!  So fashionistas, what are you wearing this season?
