A Thousand Flowers And A Dress

Floral Spring

I just love wearing floral prints all over my body during the spring. It makes me feel happy, fresh, and very tuned-in with the season. More than just wearing floral prints in different garments, I love just wearing a dress with a floral print. It makes me feel like the summer is finally here, even if it's only April. So that's why I decided to wear this beauty for today's post, taking some advantage of a really sunny and warm day.

Now the only thing I need is the summer to come by faster! I need to get a tan and to enjoy the beauty of sunny days! The good thing, though, is that this weekend I escaped from the city and will hopefully get a slight tan. But more on that next week...

A Floral Spring

I absolutely adore wearing floral prints during the spring, so I've been trying to do it as much as possible recently. I love it when my mood matches the weather, so I can't help but wear lots and lots of flowers as nature re-flourishes after the winter!

Flowers on a Summer Dress

Summer Dresses. To tell the truth, the main reason why I love summer is because we get to wear lots of dresses! And, yes, I know, we can wear dresses even in the snow (trust me, I've been there!), but there's nothing like a sweet summer dress!

One very important type of summer dresses are those with flower prints. I think this ever-coming trend has made it clear that there's nothing like a summer without flowers! And I personally can't live without them. Whether it's in shorts, skirts, T-Shirts... Or a beautiful dress –like the protagonist of today's post–, I can't stop obsessing over flowers every year at this time!

May Flowers On A Sunset

After all the rain we had during the weekend, we've finally seen the sun rise above our heads. And that also means sunsets have been quite amazing these past few days. Aren't you excited about it?

Since we were having an amazing, sunny day, I decided to wear nude colours. In the end, they're big this season! But it turned out my outfit wasn't much of what I planned so superhero Diego came and told me to wear this flower T-Shirt. I wasn't convinced at the beginning but, once I saw my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't believe my eyes! It looked absolutely gorgeous!

After April showers come May Flowers

If you're wondering where this T-Shirt came from, I must tell you it's been with me for almost two years. But it's SO pretty, I just can't get enough of it. I remember last year I wore it in Boston with some denim. And I never will regret it! About four complete strangers told me it was amazing in the streets... Isn't it nice? I love Boston people for loving my T-Shirt (among other qualities they have)!

But besides feeling loved by passers-by, there are other reasons why I love my flower oldie. It's got the brightest colours and it's got flowers; two everlasting favourites. May usually tends to be all about the flowers! And that means May (and the whole Spring-Summer season, actually) is a perfect occasion to take out this all-time favourite and explore brand new ways to wear it!

Chained Love

Another big favourite I wore with this outfit was the chain bracelet. It is so beautiful! I remember I found it about a year ago in my mum's belongings and couldn't help but taking it! She was not very happy at the beginning (who would like to give this piece away, right?), but after all my begging she accepted. And now it's one of my favourite pieces. It's so vintage but at the same time so timeless! I love it!

Sunset Boulevard

One thing I always complain about my city is the weather: I thought it was the place where the weather has the most bipolar behaviour in the whole world... Until I spent a complete summer in Maine and realised that I could live with this weather!!! But I honestly wish we could have proper seasons here, instead of having them a little bit of each one of them everyday!

I know many of you probably don't understand what I'm talking about... So to make you feel a little more in context, let me explain. Colombia is near the Equator, which means we don't have classic seasons; instead, we have two rainy seasons: december and june. The temperature depends on how high on the mountains we are: the higher, the colder. The city where I live is normally around 18 C and cloudy. But, sometimes we wake up with a very warm and sunny day and, around noon, it starts raining as if the sky were going to fall... And sometimes it's just the opposite. You could wear 3 different outfits every day and you can never tell! Which means you're never prepared for the day!

However, Mother Nature has been quite kind to us these past few days, thankfully! This means we've had some sun and the temperature has been warmer than normal! And that's why I decided to wear this amazing spring look, with a beautiful floral print! There's absolutely nothing more spring than flowers...

And to shoot the pictures, there couldn't be a better location! Diego and I went looking for a cool place to shoot near home, and we discovered this beautiful street! It's only 2 blocks away from home, and I honestly can't believe how come we hadn't seen it before! It is SO pretty! The light was also perfect for the shoot, right before the sunset. I couldn't be happier with the result! It was so magical, that I suddenly felt transported to Sunset Boulevard in California! I wish I could find this kind of places more often!

Love,
