Florals are Back

Flowers & Colors Everywhere



"Anything is possible with sunshine and a little pink." Lilly Pulitzer

Flower power is everywhere this spring and summer.   Not only are florals wildly sought after in fashion but also in home décor. Floral wallpaper is making a strong comeback along with vibrant wall hues.  Perhaps after several dark and dreary years of grays, whites, and blacks we are yearning for a warmer and cozier period filled with vibrate tones. Basically, modern is out and traditional is in vogue. 

Actually, did traditional ever disappear?  No, it did not. Think about the series Downton Abbey which incorporates eternal values, costumes and décor.  An overall traditional vibe of classic attire and timeless décor that emanates warm and soothing vibes.  Surrounding yourself with lots of color is refreshing and uplifting.  After all, are we not looking for hope, calm and upbeat measures?

My friends and I are embracing bright lipstick and apparel in hues of pink, red, orange, lime green and yellow at tennis.  We are enjoying the happiness that sunny apparel selections suggest.  How about you?  Here are a few pics for your pleasure.

Spring forth in decadent and fun color.  Enjoy every moment. Live in the present and give back to your friends and family.  After all, it is the relationships we have that make up who we are and where we are going on life's journey.  Jettison those that are negative, mean spirited or filled with anger.  Life it too short to engage with such drama.  Instead embrace you and emanate love, joy, and laughter with a bit of summer tones to wash your world in magnificence. 


That's a Wrap!

Until Next Time,
Kim

White Shirtdress

  Elegance in White                                                          Diane von Furstenberg "The joy of dressing is an art." - John Galliano White is timeless in a well-designed shirtdress.  A white shirtdress signals spring and summer are around the corner. Wear this modest number throughout the warmer months. The effect is classic and memorable signifying elegance.    Today there is emphasis on quality apparel and minimalism in accessories.  The day of large and flashy logos are "out" and (frankly always have been), and instead there is a nod to quiet luxury.  Refined fashion leaders are following this fashion memo. The result is to notice the entire person and not the garish apparel piece or flashy accessory.  After all, old money fashion has always spoken volumes worldwide.  Why So Naked?  One burning question? " Why are women in media wearing skimpy outfits baring all?   This movement reeks of a desperation for attention.  In comparison, Audrey Hepb

  Anything Lily - Lily Pulitzer That Is! "Being happy never goes out of style." - Lily Pulitzer Liquid sunshine is in vogue.   I love Lily Pulitzer dresses for spring and summer. I have several and wear them repeatedly.  The fabrication, fit and joyful prints are exceptional.  Envision wearing it on vacation or on the veranda enjoying a cocktail.   This Del Rey Stretch Shift Dress in tropical yellow is simply timeless.  Match with gold sandals, gold earrings and a touch of pink on the lips.  The outcome is sunshine magic.  Who doesn't want a little yellow fairy dust sprinkled on them? Who is Lily Pulitzer - You Ask? Pulitzer, an American entrepreneur in the 1950's, living a socialite life in Palm Beach, suddenly found herself at a loss of what to do next.  After all, you can only party and travel for so long before boredom sets in. She and her husband owned several orange groves in Florida. With her ingenious mind, she decided to open a fruit stand squeezing oranges
