Fashion Fix: Hail3y:23

This week's obsession is Hail3y:23. As you already know, we love fashion and we may have a little bit of a shopping problem. I learned about the brand from a very talented FIDM classmate who gave me a sneak peak into the Pre-Fall 2013 collection. The Los Angeles based company has an amazing collection of knit tops and dresses that are just perfect for day or night. Aside from the great styles, the company makes everything in L.A. and the family is active with funding missions and sponsoring children through World Vision. This contemporary collection can be found at better boutiques.

Check out Hail3y23 online and don't for get to follow them on Instagram @hail3y23 and Facebook

Here are some of my favorites looks...

Love the sexy back on this top!

Asymmetrical is always a great casual chic look

Decorating with Flowers

Fresh flowers bring new life and energy to any space. I popped into Trader Joe's yesterday and the scents and colors of all the springtime flowers was incredible so I had to grabbed more than my usual bunch.

Celebrate the return of warm weather with beautiful arrangements of spring flowers. You can use anything as a vase- a small teacup, a vintage canister, terracotta pots, mason jars. There are a variety of flowers in bloom right now that will help brighten up any home. My personal favorite are calla lilies. They are pretty and last long, tulips are delicate and colorful, orchids are classic and chic, and then there are the very fragrant Casa Blanca Lily, Star Gazers, Gardenia, and Hyacinth.

Don't be afraid to combine a variety of colors to create a bright arrangement. Or go monochromatic and combine a variety of different flowers but all in the same color. You can make them arranged or even un-arranged, don't be intimidated, you can't go wrong with flowers.
