Friday's Fancies: {Flower Power}

Flowers are in bloom and fill the air with sweet scents as winter has been fading away, giving way for the sun to shine.  They are the perfect accent when used as prints and patterns on spring's newest stylish items, from the skinny jean to the perfect feminine A-line dress.  Florals are everywhere this moment and add a youthful and carefree touch to any outfit.  If you like this set be sure to stop by the blog, Long Distance Loving and check out this week's "Friday's Fancies" post for more floral inspiration by other bloggers.

Friday's Fancies: {Prepped for April Showers}

April is the month of rain and even more rain, especially in the Seattle area but that doesn't mean you can't be fashionably chic while enduring the troublesome weather.  I love the idea of the classic trench that'll tie any look together but I have yet to invest in and own one myself.  Hopefully you can check out "Friday's Fancies" on the blog Long Distance Loving and look at all of the outfit creations by other bloggers based on this week's theme.

Friday's Fancies: {Tangerine Tango}

Orange is a great color that I seem to lack in my own personal wardrobe.  It is a hue that represents a hint of surprise just like the pop of the tangy fruit flavor.  It can quickly grab attention and I loved pairing it with the subdued hues of the periwinkle and the metallic bronze.  Be sure to check out "Friday's Fancies" on the blog Long Distance Loving this week for other sets based on this theme.

Polyvore Creation: {City Slicker}

I don't remember when exactly but I discovered Polyvore sometime ago and became obsessed. I would have to describe it as a mecca of style and fashion inspiration.  Trends are ever present and so are recent items from top designers to our favorite inexpensive stores in the mall.

It is fun to feel somewhat like a kid again and play dress up in the virtual world.  It is just another facet of inspiration outlets I have aside from the blogs that I read.  Even if the clothes aren't fully tangible, it is a great challenge to take on to be out of the box and try something new in combining and pairing the items.  I say if you really love the thought of just purely looking at clothes give Polyvore a try, even if you might already be technologically preoccupied.

Below is an example of what you could create using Polyvore.
