Falling for Florals (Part I)

Ha! Ha! Ha! I got the wind roaring through my petals like sea men incur the wind in their sails, ladi-dadi-da life is but a d.r.e.a.m! Seriously though, florals are an epidemic and they are taking over the world (or maybe just your favorite boutique.) I've been avidly following LFW (London Fashion Week) and I must say the most "brilliant," usage of color and florals award goes to Peter Pillotto. If only they gave out trophies for that sort of accomplishment, oh well there is a first time for everything (last time for everything.)

I fell for my fluttery floral friends (nice alliteration), right around the time I started frequenting the phrase, "look back @ it!" Which is I would say.. 2009? When my hair was as black as it was long and my thoughts short and fleeting; teenagers man. I've come along way since those blacked out (hair) days, but at least I was on the right track with one element:  f l o r a l s. Now, 5 years later dem flowers are still rockin' that boat. I suppose finding a classic/timeless piece is much like finding, "the one," when you know, you know.

Go on, fall in love with florals, I dare you. In the delicate words of UrbanDictionary.com, "Give 'Em Hell Ladies!"

Nothing says spring time quite like linen blazers and florals, in the words of rap legend biggie, "if ya don't know, now ya know!" My love affair with linen blazers, most specifically of the white pigment, started the day some drunk girl left hers at my place. After repeatedly trying to figure out the rightful owner of the gorgeous piece, I tried it on (oh whatever, like I am the only one that's ever done that..) To my pleasure it fit perfectly. Which is saying something since I'm a bit on the lanky side and have an annoyingly long torso, I call it fate.

Top 3 Reasons WhyILoveWhyte:

1) It goes with everything, for us ladies that like to rock the denim: ROCK ON

2) Linen is much lighter than the average blazer fabric, obviously making it a springtime essential, guys is pimps too (buy a linen blazer boys if you have yet to do so, the time is now!)

3) It makes me look tan.

Since it's been the epitome of vacation weather lately, I sometimes remove my linen lovely and show off my awesome farmer's tan (still trying to figure out how I obtained that one!)

For those like myself, everyday might as well be SHOESDAYTUESDAY. Let's just say my predilection for adorning my feet is nearing the triple digits and showing no signs of slowing down #embarrassing #sorrydadbutimreallynotallthatsorry.
