I'm sure I've mentioned many times on the blog that I love wearing white all year round (J.Lo wearing a white winter coat in Maid in Manhattan was the game changer for me - almost 20 years ago!), but there's just something about putting on that white dress for the first time of the spring/summer season.  I'm sure I've also mentioned my love of embroidery many times on the blog and I just recently shared my love of patchwork here.  This Free People Louisa Patchwork Mini Dress checks off all of the boxes.  The embroidery on this dress is what first drew me in.  It's not until I received the dress that I really noticed the delicate embroidery on the sleeves and shoulders.  It's so pretty!  The patchwork is subtle, but adds some texture to this ivory dress.  It's a great dress to just throw on and go (I've actually done this when I realized I had 10 minutes left to pick up materials from my kids' school and I was still in my pjs).  It's also the perfect dress for grabbing a bite to eat or running errands.  It's unfussy, but you look put together.  It'll also be perfect for those breezy beach days.  The gauzy material is so light and airy!  

 

Speaking of gauze, no one does gauze better than Jen's Pirate Booty.  I'm loving this Jen's Pirate Booty Hidden Valley Tunic.  No matter what style you are looking for, there are so many beautiful white dresses to choose from.  This Free People Natural Element Midi Dress and this ZARA Topstitched Midi Dress are effortless.  I love the bow details on this Show Me Your Mumu Sunshine Dress.  I love the crochet details on this Free People Ari Mini Dress.  I love the exposed back and eyelet details on this Free People Mockingbird Maxi Dress.  This Cleobella Ferris Mini Dress is so sweet (I'm a sucker for eyelet!).  I'm coveting this cut-out Tularosa Colleen Mini Dress and this embroidered eyelet For Love & Lemons Serena Mini Dress (another eyelet stunner!).

 

Speaking of embroidery, last month, I purchased this ZARA Embroidered Midi Dress (there are only a couple of sizes left!).  I love the contrasting embroidery detail on this ZARA Embroidered Midi Dress and the blue florals on this ZARA Openwork Embroidered Floral Dress.  This Free People Dewdrop Maxi Dress is stunning.  I love the pop of color on this Sundress Poly Dress!

 

Happy shopping!

Happy Friday!  Pink is a big trend for spring and, if you've been reading my blog for a while, you know pink is my favourite colour so I could not be more happy about it being a spring trend.  It means pink will be everywhere!  (I ordered this 'pop pink' Susana Monaco off-the-shoulder top last week and I am obsessed.)  This Free People Wildcat Top comes in 6 colours but, of course, I went with pink.  But I love it so much that I also ordered it in black (I wanted ivory as well but my size is sold out).  This peplum top is lightweight and perfect for the in-between weather before it gets hot, but it will also be great for the cool summer nights.  I paired this peplum top with my favourite Free People flared jeans.

 Hope everyone has a great weekend!
