I am more than ready for carefree days, spring breezes, warm sunshine and flowy dresses. You? You might be after checking out some of my on-sale but new-to-market dresses, including the floral , above. Also tempting: this shoulder-tie check (throw a cropped black blazer on top), this gorgeous ivory , this pretty and clever dress-meets-skirt, this striped-mini , and this ethereal, embroidered .

Ready for weekend bling--and other non-news-related things!

Gold links with just a touch of twinkle. Yes, please!

I have big plans for this Topshop dress, which include jam-packed work days (with a blazer and heels) and unbridled beach loafing (unbuttoned over a black bikini). Want to join me?

I mean... gooooorgeous! It's a dress that will launch a thousand slips. Like, on all of us: We can work our own real-world red carpets in similar head-turners, with help from a swingy coat or menswear-inspired blazers, such as these by , , , , , and (similar to below).
