Spring is here! Yay! The spring season is my favorite time of year to wear maxi skirts, maxi dresses, and anything flowing! So when I spotted this flowing, red floral maxi dress for spring, I knew it had to be in my wardrobe!

I love this little dress. Not only was it under $100, it can be worn casually, or dressed up for a luncheon, a daytime wedding (as a guest of course), or worn to a graduation. It is the perfect floral maxi dress for spring!

If you are looking for a versatile floral  maxi dress for spring, this is a great option! If you decide to purchase this maxi dress, keep in mind the flutter sleeves are wide so you need a thin tank top or camisole underneath to keep things modest. The dress also runs on the smaller size, so if you are between sizes, go up. I usually wear a 6 or 8 depending upon the cut of a dress, so I went with the medium in this dress, and it fit perfectly.

Since platform shoes are making a resurgence, and maxi dresses tend to be on the long side for my 5’4″ frame, I knew I needed a pair of 1970s inspired platforms for the spring and summer seasons. When I saw these cool beige platforms by Seychelles I was thrilled! They work perfectly with my red floral maxi dress, and they look amazing with this season’s cropped jeans, cropped pants, wide leg pants, flares, and maxi skirts. Plus, they were under $120. How fabulous is that!

If you are looking for a comfortable pair of platforms which are easy to walk in, then this is the pair for you. There is a full size run in stock as of today online here; and they also come in a fun floral print. Since the price is right, I am thinking of adding the floral pair to my wardrobe. Love!

Have you ever wondered how to keep your purse dry in the rain, or better yet, how to protect your purse in the rain? So have I! Anytime the clouds gather, I start to cringe if I am out somewhere with one of my favorite handbags. The last thing a handbag girl wants is for her bag to get ruined by the rain!

I have thought about carrying a garbage bag with me, so I can throw it over my handbag when the skies open up, but alas, I cannot see myself accessorized with a garbage bag over my handbag. I just can’t. So when I heard about The Gussy, I was more than thrilled; I was ecstatic!

The Gussy is the most amazing thing to happen to handbags since the advent of “IT” status. There is no better way to protect a precious purse than The Gussy. It is the ultimate “IT” bag accessory! Love!

This fabulous handbag raincoat can adjust to fit any size purse. It has three flaps which can go inside a handbag’s handle, or around it. You can see my demonstration in the photos above of how The Gussy works to fit a handbag. My Givenchy Antigona is the small size, so as you can see, The Gussy fits it perfectly with plenty of room to spare. This purse raincoat can definitely fit larger bags too! Love that!

I also love how small, and compact, The Gussy folds up to be! It slides perfectly into the side of the interior of my handbag; leaving plenty of room for my purse essentials. It is quite handy. I am so happy I don’t have to wonder how to protect my purse in the rain anymore.

The Gussy is available in several patterns and colors. I just love the navy with white polka dots. It matches my favorite navy umbrella perfectly. They make a great rainy day pair!

I have always wondered how to keep my purse dry in the rain, so discovering The Gussy is a life saver! Have you ever wondered how to protect your purse in the rain? If you have, definitely check out The Gussy. It is so perfect for keeping your handbag dry in the rain!
