1. Pretty in Pastel

Springtime is often associated with soft pastel hues, and this season is no different. Gentle shades of lavender, peach and dusty rose pair seamlessly with neutral tones, making them easy to wear as we transition into lighter fabrics and shorter hemlines. If this weekend’s social calendar includes Sunday brunch, opt for a pale pink dress with extra feminine detailing, such as eyelets and ruffles.

2. Blissful Blooms

Since most flowers begin to grow during the springtime, it’s only natural that this season has become synonymous with garden prints and floral motifs. Regardless of your plans, a charming botanical design is a fitting choice for a joyous weekend spent with family and friends. Wow your loved ones with a sweet style boasting heavenly cherry blossoms, wild roses or water lilies.

3. Tropical Flair

If you’d like to infuse a touch of greenery into your wardrobe without actually wearing flowers, try an exotic palm leaf print. A shoulder-baring number with a maxi-length silhouette works well with a lightweight knit or jacket for that end-of-season chill.

Searching for a look that’s as comfortable as it is chic? Slip into a classic wrap dress – a style that’s become the epitome of effortless elegance. A two-tone geometric design will carry you from day to night, as you enjoy a weekend full of delectable meals and get-togethers.

Born and raised in the city of endless festivals and world-famous gastronomy, Sarah considers herself a true Montrealer. From the undeniably genius blend of squeaky cheese curds, fries and gravy to the breathtakingly beautiful European-inspired architecture, it’s easy for this city girl to find plenty to love in the place she is proud to call home. When she is not enjoying time with her family and seriously contemplating whether to order sushi or pizza while at home with her husband and kids, Sarah is likely pushing herself to the limit through intense boxing workouts and trying her very hardest not to jaywalk.
