Florals during the spring is nothing new, so I’ve taken the challenge to try to reinvent, this beautiful, wheel.

Sometimes, two pieces from different collections, stores and even years match so perfectly, it’s as if they were straight off of Fashion Week’s runway.  The pants and top both have accent colours in the other’s colour, making them truly a match made in heaven.  Strong floral outfits can help you celebrate and embrace the warmer temperatures that spring has finally brought us.

I’m not sure who is reading my fashion dreams there at Lord & Taylor’s 424Fifth, but this entire new collection is insanely perfect. This sweater…I can’t even… I was at a loss of words when I found it,  which is exclusively available at Hudson’s Bay. Half leopard and half plaid – I’m not even sure how this came to be. Oh, 424Fifth, we are just getting started my friend!

With the #dislocatedtoeof2012 coming to a mend, I’m am almost back in heels. For a short moments I can manage the discomfort to at least take a few pictures.

So for this week’s Dress Up Fridays (which I can now assume I’ll post on the following days) I decided to dress a little crazy. Contrasting patterns, as I’ve mentioned, has been huge for summer and will continue into the fall as a hot trend, but adding textures to mix. Today I did a little much, but I sort of like it, the stripes and polka dots we know works well. But for a real change I  added  some strong floral patterns in the wedges and with a black and gold floral statement necklace. The end of summer kind of makes me panic, so much to do, so many outfits still to wear, and only a few bright and sunny days left before we all put our jackets back on. Heads up, there may be some more crazy coming, as I feel fall tones down my style a bit, and I’m not quite ready.
