Who says you can’t dress like a cake? I’m totally stealing this sweet ladylike look and pairing it with a simple shift dress. Embrace the girly.

A delicate black and white ruffle with a flower on top. Perfect, no? Let’s dance and eat cake! (Or just admire…not sure if I’m ok eating this one.)

Pansies are actually my favorite flower, even though they’re small and a bit overused in bland landscaping. But I loved planting the yellow and purple ones in our garden with my mom when I was little. They will always be the true sign of spring for me.
When I about 14 years old, I saw this amazing patio chaise in a Missoni pansy fabric in an home decor magazine. I immediately ripped that page out and I still have it today. I think I had dreams about that fabric, I was just so in love. When I interned at House Beautiful, I was lucky enough to acquire a small swatch of this Missoni “Violette Summer Bouquet” fabric. I think I gasped when I first came across it and then again when I was allowed to take it home!
So here we are today. It’s feeling almost like spring and just look at this amazing duo before us. My favorite fabric, flower, and cake designer all come together. How HAPPY does this make me??
