Flowers and Bows

Diplomat Mini Pretty Peonies

Floral prints and bows are favorite looks of mine, and both will be popular trends this Spring. This wonderful dress above combines flowers and bows with my favorite color pink and my favorite flowers peonies. What a beautiful back treatment on this dress. This would be lovely for Easter.

Day Denim

Denim Marsella Dress

 
I am not a jeans person, but I love denim dresses and have quite a few. I wear them more than anything else in my closet - for housework, gardening, errands, farmer's markets, garden centers, casual lunches, dog walks, shopping, al fresco dining, and more. They are perfect to look put together but carefree.

Toile for Fall

Pressed Powder Toile Lyles Dress

 
I love toile for my home and my closet. Toile is a great print for fall. While some other prints have more of a spring and summer vibe, toile has a cozy, historic, vintage feel that works beautifully for autumn and winter dressing. Here are some wonderful choices.

Holiday Ready

Poppy Stripe Hutton Dress


One of my favorite color combinations is pink and red. I also love florals. This dress would be perfect for fall and for the holidays especially for those of us in warmer climates where bright colors and bold prints are worn all year round. The dark purples in the print give it more of a fall and winter vibe. I would wear this for Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday parties. This dress is ideal for any occasion depending on how you style it. Gold shoes or handbag would be a great look for parties.

The Ladylike Trend - Embellishments

Powder Pink Embellished Nicola Dress


I love the simplicity of a great dress. One clothing piece and add accessories and you are good to go. The embellished dress takes it one step further, eliminating the need for jewelry. Add shoes and a handbag and you are elegantly dressed. The definition of an "embellishment" is "something added to make another thing more beautiful or interesting, or the process of doing this." Here are some great options.

Summer Style

Tie - Waist Halter Dress

 
Summertime, and the living is easy.... I have always loved summer clothes and am so delighted that I can wear them all year long here in Florida. I have not worn a coat or boots or the like a single time since the day I moved here almost 5 years ago!

The Blue and White Chinoiserie Dress

100% Washable Silk Slip Dress


 I have one of these washable silk dresses and love it. They are available in lots of colors and have just come out with them in prints. This blue and white version reminds me of Gracie or de Gournay hand painted blue and white silk chinoiserie wallpaper.

"We love the midi length and bias cut of this dress! This super flattering fit is made from 100% mulberry silk, in a satin finish. The kicker? Our silk is washable. Easy to style, easy to wash for low-maintenance luxe. Plus, silk fiber contains 18 kinds of amino acids that make it amazing for skin nourishment, hypo-allergenic, and naturally thermoregulating to help maintain body temperature."

Denim Dressing

Short Sleeve Chambray Dress

 
I love dresses and am not a jeans person at all. But I love denim and denim dresses. I have quite a few and find them perfect for running errands, especially things like farmers markets, garden centers and grocery shopping. Also great for all the outdoor activities around here like botanical gardens, boat rides, and such. And you look put together enough for meeting a friend for lunch.

Flower Power - Spring Dressing

Dorris Dress in Graphic Gerbera in Navy & Pink

 
This is such a wonderful little dress. I love the scoop neckline, short bell sleeves, and contrast binding. It can be worn belted or not. It has pockets! A great floral but very modern. Navy and pink are my two favorite colors and perfect together.

Dressing for the Holidays

Hot Pink Feather Jamie Dress

 
Dressing for the holidays need not be red and green and heavy fabrics - especially if you live in or will be visiting in a warm weather spot. This dress has it all - with its crewneck, elbow length sleeves, relaxed fit, and maxi length, it is very flattering and great for any age. Classic and elegant, it is a perfect all season dress for weddings, galas, and upcoming holiday parties and celebrations. And it's comfortable too - I have it in the yellow shown below and love it!
