Sparkle #187: Floral Dresses for a Romantic Summer

Summer is around the corner, and what better way to update your style than with a fresh and flirty floral dress? I love floral prints and am always looking for an excuse to incorporate them in my wardrobe. Floral dresses (especially maxis) make for soft, romantic silhouettes and instantly add a vintage charm to your look. Free People has some amazing floral dresses in it’s latest collection. I love the retro, bohemian vibe of all their clothes and would buy any of these dresses in a heartbeat.

Sparkle #164: Gorgeous Party Dresses

Parties and December go hand in hand! Whether it is a Christmas get together, a holiday party at work or a New Year’s bash – going out gets more frequent in December. And every evening out is an excuse to go shopping and pick up a new party dress!

Sparkle #108: A Pink & Blue Summer

I am in love with two colors this summer: dreamy lavender pink and ice cold blue. There’s something about pairing pink and blue together, whichever shade or hue you might pick, it almost always works! And when you pair lighter shades of pink and blue, you get a palette which is fresh, happy and adds the perfect pop of color to a hot summer day. These two colors remind me of all things pleasant: cherry blossoms, cotton candy and Disney princesses! They have a surreal and vintage vibe to them, so make sure you pair these two whenever you want to channel your inner Cinderella! To celebrate my love for these…

I am in love with this low cut, long sleeve, full skirted gown with crystal buttons. The ivory shade and the flowing silhouette add an ethereal, almost magical feel to the gown. For those interested in more details, check out the Houghton website. (Image credits: Houghton)
