Look Book: Bright & Pretty Spring Colours!!

Apr 30, 2012

Last year, you couldn't get me out of floral pattern skirts & dresses, and this spring the same seems to be true for colour. I've been wearing it non-stop!! For me, it's the easiest way to make a statement & gives my basics such a fun twist. And my other new obsession?! Cherry blossoms! They seem to be making their way into every post this spring - our neighbourhood is exploding with them and they've quickly become my new fave backdrop!
This past weekend was so lovely & relaxing, which was a far cry from my work week but that makes relaxing all the sweeter, right?! On Friday, Martin had a guys night and I decided to stay in - I bought a bottle of wine, made a gourmet salad, and gave myself an at-home facial. I also (guilty confession!) watched "The Real Housewives of Vancouver." I was SO curious to see a show about my own city. Has anyone else watched it?!
Other than that, I just added a few new styles (with lots more to come) to the "Oh, Poppy!" store,  like these super pretty leaf earrings and this eternity necklace. I'm also hoping to do a giveaway once all the new styles are finished. Yay! And today?! It's business as usual - work, work... and work! Hope your Monday is a good one, friends. xo veronika

    i don't blame you for all the cherry blossom backdrops- they're beautiful. and i'm just the same way this spring! any two bright colors together in an outfit make me super happy. i haven't really busted out the florals this much either.

    and your weekend sounds lovely- i'd love to sit in a mask watching bad reality tv haha!

    I am addicted to the whole Real Housewives of various places franchise but they don't show the Van one in the States so I've never seen it. And you, of course, look lovely as always. The cherry blossoms are such a great backdrop for photos.

    Beautiful outfit. The shoes are an awsome addiction and go great with the outfit. I also love the cherry blossoms in the back ground. We need to take advantage of them while we can because soon they will be gone. Lovely blog.

    I've always put on my red skinny jeans, then looked at my mustard cardigan like "Should I? Can I?" mostly because I'm afraid I'll look like Ronald McDonald, but you've just convinced me to go for it!

    I think cherry blossom season has to be my favourite time of year, hands down. The blossoms are so gorgeous and they make such a beautiful background for outfit photos :) Speaking of which, I'm absolutely loving the colour combination in this ensemble. The red and yellow are just stunning together!

I still love that bag but hate to not be able to try it out in person, yunno? Guess I may have to take the risk, I just adore the colors!

    This is such a stunning look! Especially love the skirt - great color and the perfect length.

    I really feel I should start watching The Real Housewives of Vancouver. Not a big reality TV fan, but it would be fun to see the city in a different (spot)light ;-)

    Happy Tuesday! xo Leonie

    Those colors are gorgeous on you dear! And although you are fabulous in florals too, I would say this look is definitely showcasing your beauty is a very vibrant way!

    I love having a girls night once in a while too! I didn't know there was a RHWO Vancouver!! Between that and learning about the Canadian Bachelor today (Sean Avery, really, isn't he known for being a major prick?), you can tell I'm a bit out of the loop!

    Have a great week my pretty friend,

    I love the length of that skirt. I've been looking for a skirt that length... perhaps I shall try Forever 21 next since you seem to have found luck there!

    And I'm with ya sister, the cherry blossoms make the best spring background! My neighbors that live across from me have a big one in their front yard, I tried to get it in as many photos as I could but the beautiful petals are now falling off preparing for summer.. oh well, there's always next spring!

    Great look! :)
