MY WEEK ON INSTAGRAM 01.18.2015

I have a started a new series where I share tid-bits of my Instagram here. This week was a relaxing one for me, I managed to get out there and do some shopping! We had some mild days this week which meant getting out there and check out some of those year-end sales!

SPRING HOME DECOR IDEAS

Good Morning ladies..hope your weekend was wonderful. I enjoyed the milder side of winter on Sunday, even though Saturday wanted me to book a flight outta here and fly to a warm tropical Paradise. Every time we hit sub frozen temps, I start dreaming of spring! I start craving pretty colors and flowers. Which is why I have rounded up Chapters Indigo's Spring home collection.. I am happy to see gold is still going strong and black and white stripes are everywhere, not to mention florals and pastels! Enjoy!

La Fashionista: All blush errything!

So, my love affair with Blush continues! This time in clothing, especially the Sarees and dresses! How gorgeous are these soft pink, floral sarees. Blush is definitely the colour of the year, we are going to see it through into fall! Here are some of my fave feminine outfits.

This is a pre-draped saree, which means you just slide it on like a dress and look like a goddess in no time!

La Fashionista: Trending sarees

Saris are going through a crazy transition right now. Traditionally they used to be either heavily embroidered or simple with prints. But now you can have it all, prints mixed with embroidered tulle, tulle mixed with heavy velvet, or just simple graphic prints! It is so hard to decide what to buy now, but I think I have a favorite in the mix, can you spot it ;) .

The floral pink and black tulle, simple yet elegant, it has all the trends in one sari! But if I could afford them I would buy them all!

Floral are everywhere right now, I especially love them in Saris. via Pinterest

Graphic prints are so retro chic, I love the pacman one!, and the polka dots! via Pinterest

La Fashionista: Dark Florals

When I first saw dark blooms on the runway, something like this image came to my mind, and I was in love right away!

Even though this trend  has been for sometime, it is not slowing down! It has been all over the runways for a few years, and showed up in dresses, jackets, even scarfs and shoes! I personally bought a scarf simply so I could wear this trend everyday! But I knew these big dark florals was here to stay when I was walking by the Adidas store and saw floral hoodies and t shirts! So I compiled a few of my favorite pictures of this trend.
