All Dressed Up and Nowhere to go – The Botanical Garden

April 21, 2020
  • Share

Today we are exploring gorgeous outfits to wear to a botanical garden. It’s getting to the point that I need to dream again! That being said I created “All Dressed Up and Nowhere to go”. Together we can dream about fashion and travel! I think we could all use a bit of inspiration and visual fun right now. I may not be purchasing like I used to but I’m still looking at all of the spring/summer fashion online.  I’m dying for spring-summer fashion and all of the pieces are starting to get released online. I chose botanical gardens since I have been seeing stunning photos lately online. The cover image is at The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens but there are so many amazing places out there. For the fashion aspect, I chose to create dressier outfits that are perfect for dreaming about!

Dress, Handbag, Loafers

 

First up is a gorgeous and chic floral print midi dress. This piece will shine surrounded by nature. I love the subtle pastels in this dress. Then for an easy and simple outfit pair with a white loafer like this pair that has pearls for a dressier effect. Plus these will be perfect for all of the walking and exploring you’ll be doing. Then adding in a simple and chic crossbody is perfect for compact storage that won’t get in the way.

Sandals, Pants, Top, Handbag

 

Now onto a bit of a flirty and fun outfit. Spice up a top and pants combo by doing a bright pastel pink wide leg pant. Then a silk tie front blouse is the perfect neutral to keep it from being too overwhelming. This look could be paired with a comfy pair of sneakers or dress it up with a low-heeled sandal in a neutral gold tone. I love the idea of pairing this with a fun mini bag.

Dress, Sandals, Tote

 

For a chic trip somewhere or a stop at a botanical garden, this is a look for you! Whether you are in New York, California, Paris, or somewhere else, this outfit is perfect for a day of exploring. This dress is the perfect inbetween casual and dressy and looks lightweight and breezy. Then a simple strappy sandal is a darling choice! I love this Loewe tote for a summer look that is functional. This look could take you to the beach or brunch afterward.

Dress, Clutch, Sandals

 

For those with an afternoon tea or dinner planned this is the look for you. This dress scream luxury! The off the shoulder look is a beautiful silhouette followed by a slim waist and a flared skirt. The colors and print in this dress are sensational! Then pair with a simple neutral sandal and clutch. This look will look amazing paired with all of the greenery and florals at the garden. And without a doubt, this look will impress everyone else around.

Pants, Top, Sandals, Blazer, Handbag

 

Now for a look that portrays professional but fun and exciting! Start with a crisp and chic white suit set. The pair with a colorful teal mule sandal and top. This is perfect for more tropical locations. Then for a pop of warmth throw in a brown small handbag. The best part of this look is that you can leave the blazer buttoned or unbuttoned!

    I believe the cover shot is Rose Uniacke’s conservatory in her home.

Life doesn’t always look the way we imagined it woLife doesn’t always look the way we imagined it would.
There will be seasons when everything seems to be falling into place, and seasons when we’re simply trying to find our footing again.
Both matter.
You don’t have to rush through the hard seasons or feel behind because you’re not where you thought you’d be.
Give yourself permission to grow at your own pace. What’s happening beneath the surface matters too.
Trust the process. Trust your timing. Keep going. ✨

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍
