Cheers to the weekend, everyone! I hope you are enjoying this time of year because everything is so lush and green and vibrant. It’s easy to forget just how beautiful the world looks on a sunny spring (almost summer!!) morning when all the greenery and flowers are in full bloom. With all the terrible things going on in the world today, it’s nice to take a step back to smell the roses. In the city, the change of seasons are slightly less pronounced, so I love stepping away to the suburbs to really take in the full effect of New England’s beauty right now!

I love a good floral print (that’s no secret is it?!) and find myself drawn to them constantly (like the ones seen here and here ) whenever I’m shopping, so it’s really no surprise this pink rose printed dress jumped out at me. More and more I’m loving longer dresses and skirts because I just feel more appropriate and more comfortable – and usually don’t have to worry as much on windy days.

This denim jacket has been such a go-to ever since I got it last year. I was never really a fan of denim, in general really, but I’m now completely sold!! I love the way it dresses down this otherwise more formal look!

These shoes. They are my favorite. They are complementing every single one of my spring and summer dresses right now. I could not have made a better investment with these. They are comfortable too; I actually wore these walking around for a solid 6 hours last weekend, and only at the very end did my feed start to get sore.

Lastly, I have a bit of a PSA – check out Ditto.com where I got these sunnies. You can shop from a huge variety of designer shades, and then send them back whenever you feel like it to trade for a new pair. It is only $24/month, but you can get one month free with code ‘THELILACPRESS’! I’m definitely trading mine in soon just to try something new! I hope you check it out!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Father’s Day weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

    Love the shoes! I noticed them last weekend! They made your legs look even longer and perfectly complimented your outfit.
