Spring 2011 Trend: Floral!

The best part about Spring is the WARDROBE (obviously) because all my flowers can come out to play. 

I love florals because they are 1. flattering (the attention is on the pattern, not your specific body parts) and 2. colourful. We all know how much I ADORE colour! For example, check out the rightmost picture of Vanessa Hudgens. Her dark brown hair, black shirt and black bag are contrasted beautifully with her bright skirt. My absolute favourite picture in this collage is the blonde girl wearing the colourful romper. The black background really makes the flowers POP! 

LiME is big into the floral trend right now; we have TONS of GORGEOUS floral tops. I actually just tried one of our really cute floral tube tops (also available in pink). I really like the ruffles in the chest area and the fact that the blue is so vivid. Also, the shirt has an open V at the back, super cool! Come visit us and check it out!

Anyways, we here at LiME decided to show you guys some love & appreciation by holding a St-Patty's day RAFFLE!! (who doesn't like free stuff??) Soooo I went looking around and found some awesome prizes...2 $50 gift certificates to Ye Olde Orchard pub & grill (talk about delicious)!

LiME's 2011 Oscar Fashion Report

Okay, I LOVE the red carpet!! There are always so many incredibly creative and colourful dresses to drool over!! Let's get down to business:

How classy did Reese look at the Oscars??? I swear, the moment I saw her Barbie popped into my head.  The dress, the hairstyle...I LOVE it. The contrasting black and white give this dress a little bit of oomph and I adore that she isn't decked out in jewelry. Less can be more!

Cate Blanchett's Givenchy Couture dress is phenomenal in my opinion. I feel like it is getting a lot of backlash because it's different and not the typical Oscar gown. I love that because the shoulders are structured and the rest of the dress is extremely feminine, the gown has a fearless yet elegant vibe to it. The purple beading is lovely and I even like the yellow beading at the top because it brings the attention from the design of the dress back up to her face. Big win for Cate!!!

What was Jennifer Hudson THINKING? A) I HATE orange dresses on the red carpet, blech...too clashy. B) I just dislike orange in general, I find it the least flatting colour. C) This dress is HUGE, she looks like she is going a ball and she was just a presenter. Sorry JHud, you look like a bright orange traffic cone to me.

Woah, is that Cruella de Vil? No! It's Sharon Stone! I'm practically at a loss for words... her eyeliner is all wrong for this occasion and her dress looks like she is wearing a dead animal on her shoulder. Anyone with me on this one? THUMBS DOWN

THIS IS HANDS DOWN MY FAVOURITE GOWN OF THE NIGHT!! Wowowow, Mila Kunis looks ravishing in her lilac Elie Saab dress. I am totally drooling over the lace tiering, lavender chiffon and understated waist ribbon. This is definitely one of her best colours. The dress isn't too sexy even though you can see some thigh-action. Also, even though the necklace is pretty low, she kept her 'girls' in check and they didn't overpower her. LOVE ITTTTT

What are your thoughts on my oscar picks? Hit or miss? Let me know if you have any other favourites!
