BETTER THAN A FLOWER GARDEN

I went to New England this past weekend to celebrate Mother's Day with my family and while a weekend is a bit ambitious for a coast-to-coast trip, I was able to pack in a lot. One of the highlights was our visit to the Tower Hill Botanical Gardens. I went with my Mum and sister and none of us had ever been, so it was fun to try something new. There were wooded trails, outdoor art, and fields and fields of fresh flowers. Everything seemed to be blooming and as an LA lady who doesn't really get to explore seasons, it was nice to get into the spring spirit.

Now if a garden tour is not exactly in your future, you can also swing into spring by upgrading your wardrobe. This chiffon beauty from Chicwish is the equivalent of buying yourself a fresh bouquet of flowers (that never dies). Not only does it have a wispy watercolor design, but the chiffon material and flowy fit make it flattering on just about every body type. In case this one isn't totally your style, I have linked more of my favorite floral maxi dresses below.

I don’t have any upcoming island escapes planned but this tiered dress has me feeling inspired to book one! With a flirty hemline and a pretty floral print, it’s the perfect dress to toss in your suitcase and wear to the pool AND the dinner party afterwards. I threw it on for drinks downtown a few weeks ago, when we had a bit of a heatwave here in LA, but I plan on wearing it on my TBD tropical trip (we’ll see if that happens!) as well. I paired it with some comfy heeled yellow sandals, a woven basket handbag and the cutest (most affordable) hair clip I own! And, vacation or not, I have a feeling you’ll be seeing a lot more of this number.

Love florals and lace, skirts and hair scarves? Me too. As much as I enjoy borrowing from the boys, I also think it’s nice to get in touch with my softer side (and often). I am not sure if it’s because I grew up wearing ballet skirts, bows and ruffled socks or what, but I’ve always been on the frillier side of fashion. That’s why this dress from Chicwish is so special to me. Blending pretty peach and pink shades with flowers and lace, it feels ultra-femme and truly unique. If you’ve got a slew of fall weddings lined up, it’s a great choice.
