Escada Joyful eau de parfum is a beautiful, sweet floral which offers a pink peony fragrance experience laced with fruit. This sweet floral is ideal for right now, and into the spring season. The floral combination lends itself well to moderate to warm weather; the perfect fragrance for spring!

Escada Joyful edp starts off with a floral zing surrounded by a slight black current scent. After about twenty minutes, Escada Joyful eau de parfum settles into a sweet floral which offers light to medium strength throughout the day. 

Top notes: Blackcurrant Sorbet, Melon, Mandarin

Middle notes: Violet Leaves, Pink Peony, Dewy Magnolia, Nectarine

Base notes: Honeycomb, Florymoss, Sandalwood

I love wearing Escada Joyful eau de parfum right now as our spring weather arrives here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The sweet floral scent is ideal with our 50-70 degree weather; and will continue to be ideal as we head toward summer. Love that!

Escada Joyful eau de parfum can be found online here.

It is no secret that floral prints, bright colors and emerald green are hot for spring/summer 2013. While an easy way  to wear florals is on a dress, and an easy way to wear bright colors is with neutrals, sometimes it is fun to pair the two together and create a bright, floral ensemble!

I love Naya Shoes. This short wedge sandal from the eco-chic company’s spring/summer 2013 collection is easy to wear with lightweight fabric dresses, jeans, skinnies and of course, summer shorts! Every shoe made by Naya Shoes is Eco Chic and made from eco-conconscious materials in an eco-consciouc fashion. Love that!

The “Helena,” pictured here in Taupe/Coffee, is a classic sandal with just enough of a wedge to add a little bit of height to my 5’4″ frame. They are also very comfortable 

Spring 2013 fashion trends: florals

 in Trends  tagged florals / runway trends / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

Prints are hot for spring 2013 and floral prints are even hotter. What started as a runway trend for spring 2012 has blown into a huge street trend, and continued runway trend for spring 2013. Designers and brands have responded to everyone’s love of floral prints from last year, so for spring 2013, the design can be found on everything, everywhere, for the spring 2013 season.

Florals are being found for spring 2013 on everything from shoes to handbags to jewelry; and of course on garments! There are small florals, medium florals, large-scale flower prints and even whimsical painterly florals for the spring 2013. This is one trend which almost any Fashionista can find appealing. Even those who shy away from wearing pictures of flowers may find florals for spring 2013 which they love.

The floral print trend for spring 2013 is easy to incorporate into one’s wardrobe. Even if floral garments are not your thing, you can easily pair floral pumps with a solid colored, A-line dress or wear subtle floral earrings for a slight touch of this blooming trend. (pun intended )

Florals can also be worn during the day or at night. Floral jeans are hot for spring and are an easy way to rock this trend while staying comfortable and casual in a pair of jeans. For evening, florals look amazing on blouses, dresses and skirts. Love that!

This cheerful trend is easy to find at all price points; which helps to make it an even hotter trend for spring 2013. Love that! We found a few fabulous florals for spring 2013 around the web and assembled them into this article. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
