Flower Power

Spring is in the air and summer is right around the corner. Lush floral patterns are popping up everywhere as people are longing for longer days and warm nights. Looking at some of the fresh new floral designs you can almost smell the essence of the warm summer day walking through a garden along a coast taking on the adventure in front of you.

When adding floral pattern to your outfit, simple is key. Wear one standout floral pattern and take on of the colors from the pattern to use for the remaining elements of the outfit. Example: Long white sheath dress with pattern shown below, with dark pink strappy sandals, bag, and wide brim fashion hat. Add simple jewelry as earrings and bracelet to keep the dress the main focus.

Here are some of floral trends taking bloom:

Pet Friendly Lounge Wear

You have been hanging out all morning around the house with the occasional swipe of the dog across the leg or maybe chilling in your lap. Now you want to run some errands, but don't want to look like your lounge pants need shaving. Yes, you can try to take a lint brush or sticky tape stuff and swipe it rigorously against your pants. However, you still have pieces of hair stuck in the weave of your pants with the dream of finding fabrics with less cling factor. 

No need to dream or wear farm gear or take the extra step of changing clothes before adventuring out. Instead check out some of the LuLu Lemon casual pants. I have personally tested them (Weim and Vizsla with the short hair that weaves into everything) and with a few hand swipes on the fabric the pet hair falls right off, making it effortless to get out the door fur free. 

Below are some outfit ideas for the fashion savvy.
