Flower Girl Details

Top - TJ MAXX (brand is Paper Crane)

Skirt - Nordstrom BP (brand is Frenchi)

Ballet Flats - TOMS (these are from last year's line, but you can find some similar here)

Bag - Expressions NYC

Headband - Forever21 (something similar here)

I don't know about you, but I love most anything with flowers on it. I think it just makes me happy, so I love wearing floral print because it instantly brightens up my mood.

I love pairing floral print with different patterns or textures, and lace happened to work perfectly today. The headband is nice too because, while it does have flowers on it as well, I don't feel as though it's over doing it, and flower headbands have been so on trend lately.

I know as Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly in "The Devil Wears Prada" would say, in her ever so sarcastic voice, "florals for Spring? Groundbreaking," but I think florals actually can be groundbreaking (and not just for Spring... obviously), especially if the pattern is unique. Florals also work for most anyone, which is hard to say about some patterns like leopard, snake, zebra, stripes, so on & so on...

What do you think: Are you a fan of floral print as well? What do you like pairing it with? Let me know in the comments!

Here's a tip for when you're shopping at Target (which, if you're anything like me, is 1-2 times a week): try and find online returns because they mark those items down like crazy. I got this new skirt, that is super comfy, for $4.56 and I'm the kind of person whose day can be turned completely around by tiny stuff like that, so next time you're there be on the look out.

Anyway, I hope y'all are having a fabulous day and will have an even more fabulous week!

Goodness Knows I Needed Spring

Top - Papaya Clothing
Skirt - Prabal Gurung for Target
Shoes - Steve Madden
Bag - Kenneth Cole Reaction
Watch - Fossil

Thank God for Spring inspired floral patterns and bright colors; I am so in love with them both.

As you can tell from the pictures, though, I am still super-duper ridiculously vampire-esque. I need to hit up the beach ASAP, but until I can I'll just continue wearing bright colors and daydreaming about clear skies and sand beneath my feet.

Spring Forward ~ Wishlist for Spring

It's that time of the year again when clothes start getting more colorful and it gets brighter outside, and everyone (I mostly mean myself) become much happier because Winter is almost behind us. So I thought I would create a list of some clothes/shoes/accessories I am wishing for in honor of Spring and all its goodness.
