Flower power

Three of my favourite florals this spring:

Tommy floral dress, $129. Love the bold, bright blooms.

Banana Republic Wildbloom, $60. A fresh, fruity floral (notes include pink grapefruit, pear and camellia) that’s really easy to wear every day.

Ricardo Cuisine Rose Shaped Cake Cups, $6.99. Here’s one of the lavender rose cakes I baked this weekend–yummified and oh so pretty.
