sweet like cinnamon


Dress c/o Sugarlips, Aldo necklace, Steve Madden platform sandals

I have an unabashed affinity for floral print for all seasons, but it mainly comes out in full force during spring and summer, fittingly so. A floral dress is everything I love about summer attire—light, airy, and pretty. The primarily lilac pattern is definitely a classic, but the vaguely corset-like top and the slight high-low hem is something that upgrades this gorgeous Sugarlips dress into something a bit more trendy. I went decidedly more bare-bones, opting to showcase the dress instead, but I can easily see this complimenting and contrasting with all sorts of different accessories and layering items.

On another note, I've been fervently watching the Olympics. Swimming, gymnastics, beach volleyball, diving, track & field... love it! If you follow my Twitter, sabbyagogo, I've been live tweeting about it off and on, haha. Hope you're all having a fantastic week so far, and if you've been watching the Olympics too, I hope you're rooting for your home country! x

  1. The dress is really cute! But your black platforms are extremely distracting...it's taking away attention from the soft, ethereal nature of the dress. Something more fair-colored or within the color scheme of the dress would have been a better pairing...

    1. I actually disagree... I really like the black platforms because it gives it a cute edgy touch with the soft pretty dress. Love the whole look!

  2. I have to disagree. I love those black platform...they add a little bit of edge to this dress which is really pretty btw. I mean, haven't you ever seen a soft, girlie white dress with cowboy boots? Same concept...mixing and matching. Things doesn't always have to match.
