It doesn’t need to be summer or spring for me to wear florals. I happily enjoy them throughout the year.
Pretty fall floral fashion has been popping up everywhere.
This delicate dress caught my eyes immediately. It reminds me of something from the 1940’s.
Aren’t the sleeves divine?
It is wonderfully swishy as I walk or turn, as you can see by the blurring in the photo above. ( Note to self: Learn how to operate new camera and adjust the ISO.)
Yes, that is a pug hiding out behind me.
She was delighted to get in on the shoot and very well behaved I might add. Might have had something to do with the treats in my pocket.
The tapestry coat was another lucky find while thrifting. It is too tight to close around the ladies, but I figure looks better open anyways.
I was taking some much-needed direction from my co-model here. She knows all the best moves, although I think she may need some help with sucking in her belly. I’m wearing a belt to help me out.
I’m trying desperately not to be upstaged and it isn’t working.
See how much more relaxed I look when I take photos with my pug?
Thanks to Sue for suggesting that I get Zoë in the photos more often. I’m sure this has nothing to do with her being bored to death of seeing photos of me, myself and I.



Here are some other pretty fall floral fashion pieces I’ve spotted that would fit quite happily in my closet.
Nevermind I have no room, I’d make space.
Are you a fan of pretty floral for fall? Do you have any in your closet or are you planning on purchasing any?
I LOVE everything in florals all year long! And I love all those photos of you – you look amazing – such a great stylist! You should print off the fourth and fifth photos of you with Zoe and put them in one of those double matted opening frames – classic!! 🙂
Your dog is a natural, for sure! She looks so cute in these, I love it. If I had a dog (one day, one day), I would totally put them in as many photos as I possibly could 😀 Anyway, I love this outfit! It’s so well co-ordinated and that dress is so pretty. Fierce fall fashion!
Wow, Zoe approved right? I’m in love with this richly fall colored outfit, love it from tip to toe! Fabulous tapestry coat!! Love the color. You look amazing in this. Yrs, I plan on styling fall florals too
Have a nice weekend

Zoe and Vix approved! What a fabulous outfit, I’m all over that dress, hat, coat and boots and naturally, the pug!
Colder weather doesn’t have to mean drab and boring as you’ve proved beautifully! xxx
Look, Zoe is being very generous here. I bet the way she sees it is it’s about time she gets some screen time. So, either you indulge her or she might just go and start a blog of her own. Sure, she probably won’t look as good in that fab dress as you do, but she knows what her strenghts are: you can’t compete with big-eye cuteness. So, let her have her way. Especially since she’s already got a fanbase…
Such a pretty dress! And your makeup is looking very nice.
Stunning, hat to boot! Love the floral dress and the brocade coat, I am so in love with both. The forest green hat is rich and fun, and I love the shopping inspiration at the bottom, ( boots and Etro coat, especially)
Love your canine co-stylist in the shots!

That’s a great dress, and it looks fabulous with the coat and boots! And, yes, Zoë does steal the show just a bit… 🙂
I love all the great fall florals that are available right now. Those embroidered boots are fabulous!
I think my favorite aspects of this outfit are the textures created by the prints and the earthy warm colors that go so beautifully with you hair.coloring and the season.
Your little buddy adds the LOVE and the good ol sincerity of his smile.
Suzanne, you are GORGEOUS in this outfit.
Perfection.
And, that shot of you and your gorgeous girl, looking at each other, melted my heart.

Your posts are just getting more beautiful all the time – and it’s not just the cute dog, either. xx
Awww, I love seeing Zoe in the photos with you – the two of you are definitely model material. The photo of the two of you looking at each other is adorable.
You’ve style the dress beautifully with great accessories – it looks so nice on you, I’m sorry to see that you are selling it 🙁
I’m a big fan of florals all year round too Suzanne. The dress is so sweet, but the whole outfit is perfect – I love the hat (you do look fab in a hat don’t you) and the coat was a great find. Zoe certainly added that certain something to your photos, and yes you do look much more relaxed with her there which is adorable.
Have a great week x

And now I’m coveting some floral embroideries, particularly loving embroidered booties!! such a beauty!

Oh, I do love that dress…and the coat is causing me to drool just a bit. Zoe is such a good little model. My dogs just shove their way in via brute force, especially the bulldog!

It’s so fun to see Zoe with you in these shots!
Not because we are tired of you Suzanne….but she is such a cutie pie!!
They are so enjoyable, don’t you think?
One of our cats was SO vocal this morning (groan, ugh), but she’s just so cute when we finally do get up, that you can’t be mad at her!!
Love the hat & coat with this dress too—you are so amazing at putting different prints together!!

I’m a big fan of dark florals and a sucker for a cute pug. She’s adorable!
I love those low heeled, blue floral boots. I just can’t see buying shoes though with that type of heel. I am the person who would step incorrectly and hit the edge of that back heel on any hard floor surface and go into a split. I can already feel the overcorrection in my legs that would cause my back and neck to seize up. Then I’d be hobbling around on my tip-toes, never to wear the boots again.
Oh she is so cute! I like the outfit and especially the boots! I love the way you transform yourself with your make up!
I am just like you, dear Suzanne, I wear florals all year long! I love florals! I loved your tapestry blazer and the sleeves of the dress are really so beautiful! I loved your pictures with your pug, she is adorable! You really look stunning, what for amazing boots too! So nice that a reader suggested to pose with your cute pug more times, these are really super cute pictures! Hope you have a very nice week! Bisous!

I’m a sucker for vintage-y floral prints, no matter what time for year. That dress is so pretty and looks fantastic with that tapestry coat. And the boots, well you always have the best boots!
I wish my Miss Oreo liked to get her picture taken…
You both look FAB!
What beautiful photos. You look so lovely and pulled together. I agree. It is a rather 1940’s look. It explains why we see so many older women who are so well groomed and accessorized. That’s all they know. Sweat pants and bed head weren’t really a thing back then. YES. Zoe all the time. But be careful. She may upstage you!
I’m loving floral for fall. I saw the prettiest floral bomber jacket the other day, but I couldn’t justify the price. You look stunning in this dress, and your pictures are lovely. Zoe looks very pretty too :)!
LOVE this dress – especially those swishy sleeves. And your smiles in these photos are great! Plus, your eyes are so bright.
Sue was right on. Zoe seems to be working her magic, she is a natural, whew, because I suspect she hates taking orders. Your camera makes me want a new camera now too. Hahaha.
It is such a beautiful outfit, and it looks great on you! You have a lovely smile and the Pug is adorable! 🙂
The whole outfit is an autumn wonder! But that belt tho! YES yes yes!!! The second pair of boots on the last row of that collage make me weak in the knees.
Woo, i jut love this whole outfit.Loving the fantastic velvet boots
Beautiful. The dress, the jacket, the hat, the photos, all really beautiful. The picture where Zoe looks at you and you at her… sooo sweet.

What a fantastic photo shoot: the models, the poses, the dress, the coat, just gorgeous!
I love florals anytime too!
