The weather has been so great the past few days, I took a few breakes to enjoy the sun in the company of my bf or the girls. Unfortunately I'm now stuck inside until tuesday.
But they've been promising bad weather, so I'm not going to be tempted or distracted :)
Well, at least not by the sun!

I just worn this dress from the H&M Garden collection for the first time and I must tell you I'm absolutely in love with the popping colors. Despite quiet a volume the dress is very light, it's also short. So perfect for a hot day.
I went a bit color crazy by adding a neon belt & flats. I must confess that I've really have been bitten by the neon bug ^^
And yes, I'm the one who stays pretty pale the whole year.

School has just started again and things have been a bit hectic around here, so I've been missing out on the blogging field... But back now.

This sunday I visited the biggest European floral exhibition, called the Floraliƫn.
It took place in Ghent.
The venue of the exhibition was huge, I've never seen so much beautiful flowers in my life.
The ideas some designers came up with were incredible. This was one big inspirational trip for me.
It really stunned me how creative designers were with all sorts of plants, flowers, trees, ...
I really got an Alice In Wonderland feel there.
Off course this was the perfect occasion to debut the famous H&M rose jacket from the Garden Collection. This was definitely one of best buys I ever made!

The Brussels Atomium rebuild in flowers.

This ball of flowers was huge, and so impressive. Didn't even look real.
Must have been a lot of work to put together something impeccably symmetric.

This sort of Bamboo is able to grow 30 cm a day. The exhibition runs one week...

This tree in a box was the most surreal thing of the venue. It looked like a tree in a mist, which reminded me a lot of Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow".
I bet Veronique Branquinho, knowing her obsession with trees, would have liked it too.

Such white orchid "bridge" would be perfect for a wedding.

Garden Of Delight

Today I went to Antwerp to pick up some pieces from
the H&M Garden Collection.
From the moment I saw the collection, I fell in love with the colors and the floral prints.
The whole winter I longed for bright colors and floral dresses and finally they're here.
It was really hard to choose. So far I bought 3 pieces from the collection.

This jacket is so delicate and beautiful. Definitely one of the most beautiful pieces that I own.

Stay tuned for a new outfit post...
