A Beautiful Mess

10 Things I Love Sunday: Floral Edition

We know the first official day of Spring isn't for another month but we can't help it-we have Spring Fever! And we are totally crushing on florals this season. Love love these pretty floral purses with leather trim. The far left and right ones are from Aldo, center from Etsy.

Have you ever tried floral flavored treats? That's one food trend we haven't explored yet-but these pretty lavender cupcakes and lemonade look divine!

We are both total suckers for vintage embroidered florals! We love them on tapestries, purses, dresses-you name it. Love the above design found here and this purse from Etsy.

Grown up floral patterns on dresses... Yes, please! We don't know who is responsible for brining these pretty vintage inspired designs back into fashion but boy are we glad they did. We are swooning over this pink one found here and this blue one from Ruche.

 

And no Spring-dreaming day would be complete without some pretty paper products. We adore this illustrated floral print from Dear Friend and this pretty note pad from Rifle.

Hope you are having a lovely Sunday! xo. elsie and emma
