Gorgeous get well sentiments

Fresh flowers can bring so much light and love.

Flourish

My favourite florist in the city, Flourish just opened up right next door to work - gorgeously dangerous!

Rock my fleur

I posted about this Jil Sander floral print last year in riots of colour (first pic); now sander has this print everywhere and i WANT it everywhere, on me.  I am dying to get my fleur on in this gorgeous print.  Maybe I could at least have the bag?

Breathing in the morning flowers

Morning roses at Summers Floral next door to my home in Woollahra (which the lovely Zoe and I have affectionately termed, "The Sad Spinsters of Queen Street".)

"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck"

Well, perhaps not.  Diamonds are a girl's best friend.  But I do know that the exquisite beauty of a posy of purple sweet pea, the fragrance of a blooming lily adorning my living room or the vibrance of a sea blue orchid warms my heart.  I used to think that a  bunch of flowers given as a gift were a waste of money, but now, how they bring a smile to my face and a skip in my soul.  Which is why I love wandering past Summers Floral in Woollahra on a spring morning.
