Play with prints

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Easter and that your week has started in high spirits. I sometimes find it a little hard to get back on track after a holiday weekend, but there’s a new trend in town this spring, which seems to be searching for the ecclectic and fun in fashion: prints. I’m well going to approach it. Florals and stripes are my prints of choice. They lighten up my mood and freshen up my wardrobe. They are definitely a confident take on fashion and personal style. With the spring creations of Jonathan Saunders and Erdem in mind, I’m starting to exercise my imagination. And you?

    That Alberta Ferretti dress had my heart from the moment I saw the runway photo. This all looks fabulous!

      @Frédérique
      Ich spreche Deutsch, aber ich spreche es zu selten und Glamour Deutschland gibt immer ein Grund, mein Deutsch zu üben. 🙂

    This really triggers my imagination. Stripes look great, though I naturally am more drawn to flower prints.. Beautiful beautiful images! My Easter weekend was everything I hoped it to be, so wonderful. Hope yours was too.

    I love prints! Animal prints and stripes are what I favor but a pretty floral is nice too. I absolutely love the 2nd dress and the skirt in the 4th photo. They’re calling my name 🙂

    Happy Tuesday!

    That brunette model (I am guessing Mayara Marchi from your footnotes) has such striking looks that it took me a moment to notice the dresses (which are, of course, incredibly lovely).

    Wow, these photos are so gorgeous Ada! I must say I’m into experimenting with stripes and prints this summer as well. I’ll be wearing lots of stripes for sure! Hope you had a relaxing three day weekend! Blogging feels like a full time job but at least it’s something I really enjoy! Looking forward to your posts and your movie recommendations! Wishing you an awesome week! xoxoxoo

    I’m a huge fan of prints and patterns and they’re definitely in abundance this season aren’t they?!
    Great set of photos. I’m all for that dress in photo #3. Gorgeous.
