Flowers for the Sick
H&M pants, tank & ring, Michael Kors heels, Twenty8Twelve jacket,
Rebecca Minnkoff bag, necklace c/o Keltie Leanne Designs,
Butter London nail polish c/o Nail Polish Canada
Unfortunately for those closest to me, I’ve never been one to stoically suffer through an illness, especially one that limits my food intake (take away my food and things get freakay…like really ugly). So if you follow me on Twitter, you probably already heard me complaining heaps about the flu that struck me down on Friday. If I look a little worse for wear in these pics, it’s cause I was. Though I am proud of myself for dragging my sick bottom to H&M to make sure I snapped up a pair of these floral pants for $14.99 before they were all gone! They’re my very own get-better-soon bouquet, all for the price of an overpriced latte and muffin. Or an actual bouquet.
Not only does the price entirely justify the purchase of these pants, but the fact that they magically match the new Butter London shade Nail Polish Canada sent me! It’s destiny (another of the many rationalizations I use to justify my shopping problem). I love the bright turquoise shade of Slapper, and am especially tickled by its coquettish name (coquettish being an extremely PG way of describing it). Just Google “slapper Irish” and you’ll get it. My Irish friends have taught me well.
P.S. if you love Butter London as much as I do, Nail Polish Canada is currently hosting a giveaway for Butter London’s entire Spring 2012 collection, which is worth $85!
Hope you’re all having a wonderful Monday!
perfect outfit. LOVE your pants and the green bag. 🙂
Much love, Gabriele. xx
I love those pants! So cheery! I'm sorry you've been sick 🙁 You certainly look lovely, and I really like that nail polish color. Headed over now to check out the giveaway 🙂

i was just at H&M and did not see these…or else i would have bought them! you look gorgeous, not at all sick. i do hope you're feeling better, though!
I absolutely LOVE these pants! They weren't at H&M last time I was there, but the Atlantic stores always get things a little bit later it seems! They are so, so cute! Hope you are feeling better m'dear!
the outfit looks amazing, the pants are extremely beautiful and so are the shoes

I love how vivid and lively your pants and cobalt blue tank are when paired together; and for $14.99? What a steal! Sometimes I do the same in wearing certain clothes to cheer myself on those downer days so I feel ya. I'm very excited to see an explosion of prints in the coming months leading all the way into fall.
Get better soon!
I give you major props for busting out the heels when you aren't feeling well. Shopping when sick always makes me feel at least a little bit better. Killer pants!

Ah, I hope you get well soon! Been hunting high and low for those pants, to no avail. So if you are ever tired of them, I'll gladly take them off your hands 🙂 So into anything floral, especially trousers!
I love these pants!! I want a pai rof floral skinny pants since I already have the floral palazzo pants. I really want floral jeans though. But you are def. rocking these pants.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, I've been fighting off a flu as well. Ugh! And these pants are amazing!! You know how much I adore floral patterns – really pretty!! xo
Everyone has these pants! I was actually looking at them in H&M the other day but didn't purchase. The print is super fun though. Hope you feel better soon, Alex!
xo, alison*elle
you look gorgeous! i love your pants! i have been searching for a pair of floral pants, but the ones i have found are ridiculously overpriced!
Ahhh these floral pants are amazing, I keep seeing them all over!! I want! For being sick you look pretty fantastic. And this is the best nail colour ever. I have a nail polish addiction (especially when it's nail polish's with awesome names) and this is on my want list now
xJennaD
Aww, hope you feel better now!
You are such a fashion-concsious person, even when sick. Haha, so glad you made it to H&M to snag these floral pants, because they are just AMAZING! Love the bold print and how you totally rocked it. I'm debating over getting myself a similar pair, but I'm so worried over whether I'll be able to wear them out…haha, but hey, only one way to find out!
And you just inspired me to try this trend 🙂
PS: Don't miss out on the giveaway on my blog!

You look pretty good for having the flu! I also went and picked up these pants, such a good deal! Love it with the leather jacket!
Hope you are feeling better!

Floral pants! So not my thing, and yet, seeing them on you makes me feel like they could be 🙂 Seriously, pally, you look fabulous and amazing, especially considering that you were sick with the flu when there photos were taken. Hope you're feeling much better now – and that your manicure, in that lovely shade of Tiffany blue, has made it through the day, unlike mine, which is in tatters. At least Monday only happens once a week!
xox,

colourful florals with leather jacket = a nice spring transition look!

So glad you got the pants..they look great! Nothing like a little retail therapy to cure the sick-time blues. Great styling too!

Your totally justified in buying those pants! They look great on you! And I love that nail polish color! Amazing!
<3 Kelly
Love love LOVE those pants. They look absolutely amazing on you. I unfortunately dragged my lazy butt to H&M too late and they were all gone, there was a skirt version though which was pretty cute.
Hope you're feeling better now! It's the absolute worst when you can't taste anything 🙁
awe lovie, i would bring you some fleurs…the kind that would be scentless so they didn't tickle your nose and then i'd boil you up a nice pot of tea, adding in a sploosh of some Grand Marnier for good measure!!!! you are one heck of a strong gal for hauling yourself up outta bed and venturing out. not only for those awesome pants (they're remarkable for the price, nice one!) but also to shoot your outfit featuring them. i'd have caved and imploded in my sicky miz for sure. you look beautiful and i can't even tell an ounce that anything is remotely off kilter health wise.
do hope you're all better now sweetness, nothing worse than having the oozy goozies. the polish is fab with everything too. happy, well-filled week! xo ♥
I just used these pants in a shoot I did a couple of weekends ago! And dare I say you look better in them than the model did? Shhhh don't tell anyone. Feel better soon!
LOVE them! Such great colors and perfect for spring!! xx Pam
So pleased to see you've caught the floral bug too! I love this edgy take on the trend, but of course you've also incorporated your own signature soft touch into the outfit with your chic plait and pastel grey heels. And the bag just tops everything off, I'm totally having a moment with snakeprint things right now!

Those floral pants are so fun.
Such a wonderful flowery girl!! Love the choice of emprime pants with the hard rock leather jacket pairing!! So edgy and spot on!! 🙂
I'm so sorry you were sick! But at least you managed to do it while being super fabulous? I'm in love with these pants (they remind me of Kimmie from Full House) and I'm madly in love with the cropped leather and the beautiful bag. Bravo!
Hope you are feeling better. But you look awesome nonetheless, and the nail polish is great!

love your jacket and that bag, the color is so fab and appropriate for any season. i am not a fan of delicate pendants in general or orange but the one you are wearing is so beautiful, it makes me want to buy it…
p.s i've been terribly sick lately as well so i know how much it sucks…
your pants and you bag are gooorgeous!!! 😀
fabulous!
