I know what you’re thinking (cue Miranda Priestly in the Devil Wears Prada): “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” Yes, yes, springtime floral prints may not be a new idea, but there is a reason they are so popular this time of year. After a long winter, what better way to brighten up your wardrobe than with some feminine, floral prints?

DIANE Vintage Collection

I’m such a fan of Diane von Furstenberg and her beautifully flattering dresses. Always fun and easy-to-wear, the DVF dress has been a classic since Diane designed her first collection forty years ago.

I also have a love for vintage, so when I heard that DVF was bringing back a slightly modernized version of her seventies dresses and vintage prints, I couldn’t have been more excited. The line, called DIANE, includes updated versions of the iconic wrap dress, accessories, shoes and swimwear. I love the bright, bold prints – perfect for mixing. And those dresses? Amazing.
