i'm sure you have heard at least one person say 'put a bird on it'. we may not all know where it came from (portlandia) or what it really means, but i sure can see how cool it looks on springs hottest silhouettes. but this season, it is not just about prints. this is the new version of animal print. we are no longer just looking like we are wearing an animal's coat, but the entire animal itself.

Love that Kenzo peplum top and the Carolina Herrera prints. 'Put a bird on it' is new to me- thanks for keeping us in the loop!

In a world inundated by high-end and over-priced glamour and fashion, Ashley Jordan has successfully created a niche in the creative fashion industry that allows for anyone looking to shop on a dime look like a million bucks.

Starting originally as a thirty-day photo diary where Ashley challenged herself not to wear the same outfit more than once for a month without buying anything new, Sweet William has since emerged into a fashion and creative sounding board for Ashley to discuss new and old trends, ideas for piecing together used clothes for newer outfits, and tips for shopping for the look you want at a price you can afford.

The idea for Sweet William, the name, came primarily from the flower that is its name sake. But Ashley points out that the flower also draws a lot of parallels to her influence and style when it comes to design, noting that Sweet William represents organic, change, growth, and natural in both name and in design. In addition, Ashley says that above all else, the biggest inspiration for the name Sweet William comes from her grandfather, William, whom she admired greatly and was significantly influenced by.
