Flora

This endless winter has really been getting me down, but I came up with a fun little way to escape the 0° weather!  I knew I didn't want to take photos of this beautiful Lady Vintage dress in my frozen tundra of a backyard, so I was racking my brain trying to come up with an alternative... and then I remembered this little conservatory in one of Rochester's larger parks!  My best friend Wayne came with me for this little adventure, and it was so rejuvenating to spend an hour in a faux tropical oasis!  Hopefully it'll be enough to tide me over until spring arrives.

I'm ecstatic that the timing finally worked out to collaborate with Lady Vintage on this post!  Their beautiful spring line recently arrived on their website, and they allowed me to choose this gorgeous dress to review.  I'd never been particularly drawn to orange before, but when I saw this dress, I fell in love!  The colors are so saturated and scrumptious.  I really love this particular cut, and though I opted to wear it with a thinner pettislip, it also looks great with a fuller petticoat.  I found this dress to run true to size (though buyers should note that it contains no stretch), and I love the addition of the sash tie in the back -- it's a feature that definitely flatters my figure!  The fabric is fantastic quality (it feels far more expensive than it is!), and I can't wait to style this in the summer.  This particular style is a limited edition, so if you have your eye on it, I'd act fast!

Isn't the print on this Lady V London dress perfect for Valentine's Day?  This fabric features pink cupcakes, cookies, cherries and cups of hot cocoa (which could also be tea or coffee, but in this case, I'm going for a chocolate theme).  I'm planning on eating my fair share of chocolate this year, so I had to pair this dress with my candy bar clutch from New Look.  I'm getting cravings for sweets just looking at these photos!

I don't get the chance to wear this coat all that often (3/4-length sleeves are not exactly a practical choice for winter in Upstate New York), but I was thrilled when I realized it looked so great with this dress in both color and length.  You'll be seeing my other pink coat on the blog this weekend!  ;)
