Each year around this time I go on a crazy hunt to find the ultimate floral dress for Spring - one that has great colours, a unique floral print with a timeless shape.

After spending a few weeks looking for one to wear this season, I finally found it! I can easily mix and match accessories with this dress and wear it with or without leggings as well. To stay on trend, I paired it with a bib pearl necklace.

Have you found the ultimate floral Spring dress yet? I'd like to see a photo, share it with me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram or comment with a link. :)

There's something about the end of summer that makes me really sad, but happy at the same time. While I enjoy going to the beach, neon bright clothing, BBQ and picnics at the local park, autumn is my favourite season. I love all the new arrivals, darker and more prominent colours, and chilly nights. I'm afraid that as the years go by, this season gets shorter and shorter but I still like to embrace it as much as I can before winter peaks in.

My friend Joy from Frockfiles.com tweeted this great recipe for oatmeal yesterday and that's when I knew I was ready for summer to end. I've already started organizing my wardrobe for the fall/winter, so this will mark as my last outfit of summer 2012.

One of my favourite trends was the classic denim jacket with a floral-print dress, and that's what I've done here with this maxi dress. The contrast of the dark denim goes well with the beige, and I added white as a slight accent to brighten up the look.

What were some of your favourite trends for this past summer? Maybe we can reminisce together. :)
