FLORALS? GROUNDBREAKING.
As the first rays of warmer weather peek out, step away from the ditzy florals and demure pastels.
Instead, celebrate dress and jacket weather with large-and-in-charge florals and fiery shades that are well overdue their time in the sun.

DOMPAMINE DRESSING
With all this grey weather, we could use some colour therapy. Reach for feel-good, mood-boosting pieces this spring. Black may always be chic, but colour is much more fun to play with.

PATTERN PLAY
