Behind the Runway with LK Bennett Part 1

LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 2There’s nothing more liberating here in Chicago than a warm, sunny spring after two months of Chiberia! The weather these last two weeks has been phenomenal and it’s put a literal “spring” in my step! It’s also inspired me to get a lot brighter with my wardrobe after weeks and weeks of only gray — luckily my favorite shop LK Bennett always comes to my wardrobe rescue and this spring they have some of their most swoon-worthy candy-colored offerings yet!

For those of you unfamiliar with the brand, “L.K.Bennett is a luxury fashion [house] defined by its unmistakable British heritage. Underpinned by a desire to offer beautiful, well-made, accessibly priced designerwear; L.K.Bennett collections have a distinct blend of femininity, style, and color.”

I’ve talked before about my obsession with the brand’s feminine silhouettes and high-quality materials but this season’s marriage of timelessness and fresh runway-trends have taken that obsession to a whole new level. I mean how stunning is the watercolor-meet-digital print on this dress?LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 11 LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 3LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 10Of course I snuck a little bit of gray into my outfit too — it’s my favorite spring neutral!LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 8LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 12LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 5LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 9LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 7 LK Bennett Chicago Gardo Jacquard Dress Sprinkles Cupcakes 6Dress – LK Bennett ‘Gardo’ Jacquard in Printed Multi (here)
