friday's fancies #26: flower power.

it's flower power week over on {long distance loving}! {av} has chosen a floral frenzy for this round of friday's fancies.

at first, i was going to go for a more subdued look, but the more i thought about flower power, the more i realized that this week - if any - was the week to go all out. sure, the shoes may be a bit much... sure, the bag paired with the necklace and the floral dress is a little obnoxious. but... i've found, sometimes wearing lots of bold pieces can take your day from meh to bring it on!
friday's fancies #26: flower power.


without a doubt, this dorothy perkins vintage floral dress would feel right at home in my closet. classic lines, playful details... it is the stuff of legends, i tell you. and honestly, who can really say they don't wish for a valentino bag, & more specifically, this red, floral beauty? to be quite frank, the mai tai of day wedges have been sitting in my saved items of polyvore for a while, just begging to be featured in some way or another on this little blog. granted, they are a bit over the top for this outfit, but the honest truth is i really do like them paired with this gorgeous lanvin raffia mask & flower small necklace. i know, it's overkill. but sometimes, overkill is a good thing (just work with me here). cosmetic junkie that i am, an outfit just wouldn't be complete without gloss, polish, & blush. essie's canyon coral, tarte amazonian clay twelve hour blush in frisky, & some lip-smacking guerlain terracotta gloss do the trick, & do it well.

I almost picked that dress for my Flower Power look, it's such a soft, feminine piece. Love the wedges and pop of red you added to the outfit!

Those shoes are amazing! I never ever wear heels, but if I did those would definitely be on my wish list. xoxo, morgan

OK this sounds silly but I didn't even KNOW they made floral purses like that! This one is too cute - love how you paired it with all of those neutrals. I need to get me one now :) But that dress color is GORGEOUS! I am in love with this outfit combo!

AHHHHHHH I love this all :)

the back and forth.

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
