Spring Cleaning
Elizabeth & James Blazer, 3.1 Phillip Lim Dress (compliments of Planet Blue), Vintage Belt and Clutch, Alberta Feretti Sandals
Last week I mentioned my love for blush tones and was reminded of this breezy dress that I’ve been holding onto since the first days of winter. It’s unapologetically girly and I couldn’t wait to wear it with my white blazer that’s perfect for spring. I absolutely love this time year and am looking forward to after-dinner walks, early morning runs and extra trips to get ice cream.

Just Lovely. I’m loving the blush tone as well. I’ve added some piece of jewelry to my shop in those colors. So soft and feminine.
You look gorgeous. I love the colours so soft and really springy. Have a great day

in love with that dress
I love the dress but especially love the gorgeous shoes!!
The dress + the blazer = pure perfection!
Just gorgeous. A perfect bike riding dress. Your list of things to look forward to just got me so excited, I’m going to make it through Monday afterall.
That is a really gorgeous dress! I saw a girl this weekend wearing a similar one but it was strapless. It was really nice weather here so a perfect weekend to sport such a dress!

That dress is perfection!
I can’t really wear blush tones as a fair-skinned redhead (a nicer way to say ‘pale’), especially in winter. But this makes me want to find a way to work it out. Operation Wear Blush 2010.
I absolutely love it!! The color looks fabulous on you and I love how you pulled the whole look together. Beautiful!
i looove the big flower on the front! reminds me of SPJ on sex and the city!
Love the outfit! I want to get a white blazer now! =]
That dress is darling on you. I love the color of the clutch too – great outfit
stunning as always.
Beautiful! Love the shots!
Gorgeous dress! You look so pretty! I do have to say I love the look without the blazer so much better than with
I love this outfit! The pop of blue looks great with the dress. Your pictures are beautiful!

Okay, love the dress, redundant compared to other comments, also the blue clutch is a nice pop here. Blue seems to be the thing in handbags/clutches this season. Check out Harpers Bazaar this month, for verfication of this theory. Sapphire accessories, galore.
The dress is a prize winner. blush………fabulous shade for us brunettes, thank goodness
Beautiful blazer! I think this is one of my favorites!

I am so into the neutral tones with a hint of rose right now. The girliness of this is making me smile

What a perfect dress for spring. I need a white blazer!
Emily,
OMG, I have been looking for a dress just like this for a wedding I have in a few months. I love the color and the shape. The bottom is adorable. Do you mind telling me where you found that? I bet they don’t have any more, but it can’t hurt to look!
Emily I wish I had access to your wardrobe! Gorgeous as always, and I just ordered a similar blazer online and cant wait for it to arrive!
That dress is beautiful! As is the blazer. Are you nails orange? Mine are too right now. I love how it’s bright and fresh without being too crazy.
Spring has sprung! I love the outfit, blazer are the sh*t!
Phillip Lim never disappointments!
girly indeed. i love that adorable rosette and how you mixed it with the blue and taupe. so pretty.

The dress looks great on you – great accessorizing. It’s a bit girly for me to wear, personally, but I would take the shoes and blazer!
Hi Emily. It’s my first comment here in your blog, by the way, I’m from Brasil. You’re look great, congratulations! wonderful clothes and ways to use also. But I wanna know about your camera, the pictures has a great resolution and beautiful colors. What camera you use? Cause I wanna buy one and I don’t know which one to buy. Thanks since now. Kisses!
perfect spring outfit! xx
you look really pretty!
this might be my favorite outfit yet! that dress is amazing. i would also love to know how you stay in such great shape!
I like the dress and the blazer! Great combination
E&J, Alberta Feretti, and Philip Lim!?! your readers are going to start feeling left behind! I can’t keep up with buying those labels! But a white blazer does seem like a great investment. You look like you could be in Rome!
Absolutely love that dress! Perfect fabric and length!!

WAS THE BLAZER A GIFT FROM BESO? YOU NEED TO DISCLOSE THAT.
I love your dress! and so beautiful coloring of outfit. so gorgeous.
Hi Sam,
Thanks for your concern, but I bought my blazer from Cusp for full price and it was well worth the investment. Any time I’ve given something as a gift, I make a note of it on my blog.
Ridiculously adorable. I lovelovelove that amazing blue clutch! (“So clutch.” Sorry, I had to.)
love the big flower! so happy its springtime!!
Absolutely loving the flower detail on that dress – I’m in LA too, where it’s been a little chilly (and my office is always FREEZING) but I’m so excited to be able to start wearing spring clothing again.
http://jaclynclaire.wordpress.com
I’m totally obsessed with blush tones now too. Something about spring makes me want to wear them all of the time!
Beautiful! Cannot wait to see more of your spring fashion
Oh I love blazers!
You look sooooo cute!

Ahhh! love that dress desperately. Why is it Phillip Lim and not F21? Do you ever ebay clothes you are done with?

Love that color! Ah! I need to go buy some clothes in that color
That dress is so beautifully feminine. Lovely!
Love this dress! And the belt with it just sets it off!

Love the shoes !
I referenced this post in one of my own about Spring Style (here: http://pourlamourdefashion.blogspot.com/2010/03/les-looks-du-printemps-for-which-je.html) I’m not yet a pro on blog etiquette, and want to make sure that’s ok!
You look absolutely amazing in these pictures, the dress is so beautiful. May I ask what nailpolish you were wearing? I love the bright spark of orange with all the nude tones.
It’s adorable! So spring-y.
I just did a post too on the best blush and ecru choices for Spring 2010: quicksaidthebird.wordpress.com. Please check it out and let me know what y’all think. I am grateful for any and all feedback. XO,N
P.S. You look awesome and congratulations on the best bloggie win.
Gorgeous dress it feels so light and breezy
The Phillip Lim dress is absolutely stunning. It looks like it was made just for you.
you look stunning in this dress!! it is sooooo perfect for spring and I love the floral accent. Yay for warm weather! XOXO
Oh, I adore Philip Lim! That dress is lovely -and you wear it perfectly.
I love your style, so simple and chic <3
LOVE your heels. they look very clog-like which is in this season!

LOVE the dress! I’m such a Phillip Lim addict.
Gorgeous Em! On vacay now but I had to check in with C&C to get a fix!

I simply love the last photo. You look like you are in some small Italian town, strolling around in the alleyways, a gentle breeze blowing your skirt ever so slightly.
It makes me dream.

i love that dress!!
I love the impact the blue clutch gives to the nude colored outfit!
I love that dress. Nudes are very in this Spring.
Hi!
Love this look! I was hoping that you could please let me know where you got your sandals. If you have the actual name of the style I’d be forever grateful!
I am kind of dying inside over not owning those shoes…..sooo pretty
I looove the dress! Now, I am not a blazer person, but it looks great with it! I can never accessorize! lol

Emily I just have to tell you that you have the most amazingly gorgeous legs I have ever seen in my entire life! Your boyfriend must have been really good in another life!!! : )
What a gorgeous dress! So jealous!
This is by far my favorite outfit of yours!! I think I would have chosen some different shoes, but in the same color. All in all though this look is sheer perfection and really suits you! More frills and feathers from now on!
I DIE for that outfit. Perfectly spring!
Great combination, very lovely.
I absolutely love this outfit…its perfect!

This is a nice outfit, but if I were to wear it I probably wouldn’t combine the blazer and dress. The dress looks so much better without it, it’s too pretty to cover up! I like the belt you paired it with.
On another note. It’s nice how there are people from so many different countries that visit your blog.
