      Beautiful crackled background and a bold design

      The colours simply glow in this gorgeous leaf pattern of alternating orange and blue design. The print is at once simple and complex and the background rusty crackling only adds to an intriguing pattern.

      Onward with Women Empowerment

      I was the guess speaker for a Women’s Prayer Breakfast in my hometown this past weekend. The theme was “Women Empowering Women.” I thought the dress Onward was perfect! The colors, the print and the name…. Onward with empowering women!

      Cannot emphasize enough how beautiful this is.

      This dress is stunning and so unique. The combination of the large, bold, stylized plants with the intricate detail in the background and within the leaves is gorgeous. I love the colors. The dress is really versatile — goes really well with jeans or black pants. So happy this one is in my collection!

      Nice solid print.

      I love the weight of this print! It is a good weight & for me is perfect for layering in a variety of ways. I also really like tje pattern on it. It’s not the usual bright & bold colours I ho for but I have plenty of accessories to bring some colour to it!

      I love the print! Wonderfully grounded in earthiness with pops of cobalt blue.
