Happy Monday loves! I can't think of a better way to say hello, spring than with a fresh breath of florals.  Feminine and ladylike, floral prints always whisk me away to tropical lush gardens and some much needed warm breezes.  Currently, I'm in love with the floral skirt and the endless ways to wear it. My favorite is with a gorgeous pump and a cropped top.  A more casual, beach-inspired feel is always great too and these sandals are perfect for doing that (also craving these).  I've also been noticing florals showing up in other ways too lately.  This jumpsuit version is a great alternate for when a skirt and heels are too fussy.  Then, of course, let's not forget the impact of a beautifully designed floral topper.  The trench coat version is stunning and just right for those April showers.  

Hope you're having a beautiful Monday!

How many times have you looked in your closet and thought, how could I have this many clothes and still not know what to wear?  If the answer is more than the number of fingers you have on that hand you have raised then you want to keep reading…

Whenever I feel like I have more clothes than outfit options the reason is often that the items were impulse buys that are not mix and match friendly or, more likely, I'm just not approaching the day from a fresh point of view.  Either way, the solution is always simple.  Take your perspective a little left of center and begin mixing and matching in unexpected ways.

As simple as it seems, if you're not wearing a dress, jumpsuit or other similar version of a one piece, then it really is all about tops and bottoms.  Modern prints, trending textures and fresh fabrics make for perfect playmates when wanting to get more mileage out of your closet.  Simple staples like chambray and silk effortlessly combine to dress a look up or relax it down.  Try something unthought of like these cute floral silk shorts alongside this easy chambray top and a fun pair of d'Orsay flats.  Another new school way to go?  Take a feminine flowing midi and top it with an easy fitting eyelet sweatshirt and boldly printed flats.  Voila!  A fresh new look begets an inspired attitude which always leads to a great day.  

Ready to see your style with a brand new pair of eyes?  Me too!  Let's bring it….have a wonderful Wednesday!

With the forecast for an early spring, it is perfectly fitting that the petite and pretty Liberty print is suddenly in full bloom. From blouses to bikinis and slips-ons to sleepwear, this lovely little pattern is showing up on fabrics everywhere.   Born in the UK, London's Liberty Art Fabrics have made their way stateside and quickly become an American favorite.  Now they've joined in a perfect partnership with J. Crew to create these darling designs seen here. 

 Let's take a peek...

I'd say these pretty petals are the perfect pick-me up on a cold winter's Monday.  What's your favorite floral so far?

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful Monday!

XO,

Kelly
