Florals & Frenchies

Today I'm proving that sometimes the best accesories are semi-colorblocked, covered in fur, have four legs (despite their desire to use them) and come when you call them… well sometimes. Of course I am talking about the best/worst French Bulldog around… Waffles!
Is there a French Bulldog out there cuter than Waffles? Of course not … and no, I'm not biased at all ;). I do have an unhealthy obsession with my french bulldog, comparable only to my extreme love of shoes and mint chocolate chip ice cream (okay, I love Waffles way more than either of those) so are we surprised that I have started to wear outfits that he compliments well too? Well today's looks is no exception.
I gushed about my love affair with this ted baker floral frock earlier this month, but my fondness is still alive and kicking. I thought I would celebrate the last few days of summer by wearing it with an off the shoulder crop top, bright accessories, bow pumps & the most darling doggie in the West Village.
A good floral skirt is a must have for every wardrobe! I love that mine has black undertones to make it wearable all year around. With pastel/spring colors having a moment this fall (gasp) I highly suggest investing in something floral to pair with some of your fall staples and new trendsl. Try a skirt like mine (I share similar options below) with a snug sweater and contrasting belt, black tights and booties, a blouse and blazer or a statement necklace and a turtleneck! I'm going to try mine with leopard booties and a black coat and again with a pattered sweater and a leather jacket!
One of my favorite parts of this outfit (and these pictures) is the super cute illustration that the fabulous Sandy M put together of me & waffie, I'm head over heels obsessed (wheres the hands up "hallelujah" emoji when you need it).  Would it be totally creepy if I blew it up and put it on my wall? I'm not sure Paris would like it, but come on!!! it's just that cute it needs to be framed!

  11. You look absolutely amazing, darling! And I've gotta say that you're totally right about a frenchie being the best accessory. Way better than mint chocolate chip ice cream! I'm especially in love with the illustration Sandy did of you - definitely something you should frame (:
