Not gonna lie - shooting this look felt like a scene out of The Princess Diaries. Slipping into the most beautifully made brocade embroidered dress would probably make any girl feel like the Princess of Monaco, or at the very least, like she's about to step out onto some fancy red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. I'd happily take any one of those scenarios, any day of the week! 

But seriously, every so often there comes along a dress that is so dreamy that you just buy it, even though you don't really need it, and there are no occasions in sight in which to wear it. You have one of those very honest WWCBD (What Would Carrie Bradshaw Do?) kind of moments, where you tell yourself that you only live once, and then you just do it. You buy the dress and you make the occasion. 

Flirty and feminine, no print measures up quite like the floral. Equal parts romantic and flattering on the silhouette, it pays homage to our favorite season in bloom. This is not your grandmother’s ‘couch cover chic’, but more so a ‘vacationing along the French Riviera’ type of statement-making print that well deserves a place in the fashion hall of fame and more importantly, in your closet. So, what are you waiting for?

Style a fanciful brocade embroidered floral dress (just like this stunner!) with strappy sandals and dramatic jewels, and get ready to stand out. No wallflowers here.
