Forever Floral?

Flowers are everywhere this spring and I'm not just talking about in the garden. Shirts, dresses, pants, jeans, bags - buds are blooming. For this week's link up with longdistanceloving titled May Flowers (after last week's April Showers) I'm in an outfit with a touch of floral, as I prefer this trend in small doses.

Details

Jacket: Danier (Halifax)

Jeans: Target (San Francisco)

Shirt: American Apparel (Vancouver)

Sneakers: Skechers (The Shoe Company, Halifax)

If you're looking to dabble in this trend without going overboard, I suggest this fabulous Zara scarf (they ship to Canada now). I LOVE the pattern and you can pull so many colors from it to complete your look.

Have you embraced the floral trend, or are you happy to keep your flowers in pretty vases? My prediction: florals will still be hot for fall.

Pastel in Print

When choosing an outfit for my link-up with longdistanceloving, I had to choose carefully. When done in moderation, pastels are pretty. When done in excess, one could resemble a misshapen Easter egg.


Paired with neutral colors, sky high heels, and gold hardware, floral mint jeans make a statement without the overall effect being too juvenile.

I couldn't resist playing around with a different pastel shade on Polyvore. Bring on the baby pink!

What pastel shade is your favorite to wear? I find purple to be the most universally flattering.

Happy Easter!

Past the Pastel Season

No boys (and you know who you are....), these are not my pyjamas.

Details:

Sweater: American Eagle Outfitters (Halifax)

Shirt: Gap (Halifax)

Jeans: Mossimo at Target (San Francisco)

Boots: Call it Spring (Halifax)

Necklace: Forever 21 (LA)

Bracelet: Suzy Shier (Truro)

The colors in this outfit aren't exactly fall-ish, but I hope I pulled it together and made it look winter cozy and not like sleeping attire.

These skinnies were a great way to dip my toes in the floral jeans pool without breaking the bank on a perhaps fleeting trend.

Do you think floral and printed denim are going to stick around?
