Romance (mwah) in fashion

I am so happy romantic peices are back in style for the summer.

Romantic peices: peices with flowers, frills, ruffles, sheer material, bows, floaty, feminine, that soft look is pretty much in. And I'm completely in love with it. Most of the pieces in this style end up being really soft colors, like white, pink, peach, and flesh tones. Ah perfect for summer!

These cream-colored earrings (Left; Forever 21, $3.80)

Haha and these very very similar but more expensive earrings by Urban Outfitters (Left and Right; Urban outfitters, $12)


These headbands: (Left; Forever 21, $2.80)

Or this dress from Forever 21 (Left; Forever 21, $24.80)

This white tunic, (Left; Urban Outfitters $38. Right; Urban outfitters, $32)
  

Then there are the sheer tops (Left; urban Outfitters, $58)


These other cute tops (Left; Urban Outfitters, $38.  Right; Urban outfitters, $48)

There also these tops: (left; Urban Outfitters, $42.  Right; Banana Republic, $69)

More tops: (Left; Bloomingdales, $74.  Right; Bloomingdales, $148)
I especially like the floral collar on the top to the right- I've seen it a lot when shopping in other stores too.

You can see on the runway pictures the soft colors, sheer materials, and the flowy clothing. 

Oh by the way, I saw Kung Fu panda with the boyfriend, and it wasn't half as good as the old disney movies. I kinda want my $11 back (theaters in New York seem pretty overpriced), haha.  
I've also been trying to link people lately, I'm starting to love reading other people's fashion blogs.  So please please if you want to link, let me know! I'd love to.
And my physics class starts this thursday. Wish me luck.

That sucks that Kung Fu Panda wasn't good, I wanted to see it but now so many people have said it was bad..
And the romantic look is definitely very pretty, just I wouldn't wear it very well!
And of course I'll link! We're fellow new yorkers after all right? :D

Oh no, I wanted to see Kung Fu Panda :( Oh well. I'll rent it.
I love the romantic look! I wear it even when it's not in fashion :P I can't get enough of light flowy tops, especially for the summer. That dress from f21 would be perfect for a walk on the beach...

I'm linking you as I type, btw!
