The season of flora and fauna is officially here, and the best way to dress for it? Floral prints. We've found the prettiest garden-inspired patterns in maternity dresses and tops. Just because you've got a baby on board, there's no reason not to embrace the trend!
Alexa Chung is known for her quirky, cool ensembles, and yesterday she styled an outfit that we'll definitely be emulating. For the launch of the British Designers Collective in England, she selected a floral-print, A-line skirt from Celine's resort 2012 collection. In true Alexa fashion, she put a playful spin on her look with a "je t'aime Jane" top, that actually plays homage to another iconic style-setter, Jane Birkin. See how this It-Brit expertly toughened up her florals in today's Fab Flash! On Allison McNamara: H&M top, Banana Republic necklace.
Dressing down a fancy top is no easy feat, but Fab reader xoqiqixo makes it look effortless. She took the floral trend to a chic new level with a rosette-covered blouse from American Apparel ($84) and paired it with skinny cargo pants and a cute pair of black ankle boots. Everything is coming up roses –– her look is pretty, polished, and perfect for daytime!
Congrats to xoqiqixo!

It's so cool to see how you guys are getting in on the mixing prints trend this Fall! I am loving Fab reader Miss Ife's fresh pairing of leopard and florals. She showed that she's a certified mix master by throwing on a cute black cardigan and lightweight floral scarf, then cuffing her jeans to reveal a pair of totally Fab leopard-print ankle boots. This is one cool combo that I'll be trying soon!
Congrats to Miss Ife!

Vanessa 09's adorable sassy floral mini kind of reminds me of Kate Moss' floral mini dress for Topshop. I admire the puff sleeves and the headband worn as a belt. Very innovative and money-saving!
Here's what she has on:

While I know some of you aren't fans of smelling like roses, what about wearing roses? Rosettes and big bloomers were aplenty on the Spring runways, so get ready to wear your heart on your sleeve - literally. Here are a few of my designer and non-designer picks:

Today a Sugar girl received a beautiful bouquet of orange roses with red berries and Stargazer lilies. They inspired me to deliver you this Spring Peek showing you all the big bloomers that graced the runways. Rosettes, big flower prints and fabric corsages popped on garments adding volume and sweetness. Bloomers even showed up as show garnish: Yves Saint Laurent had thousands of violets sewn onto the floor of his runway - tripping up the models, literally. This Spring, say it with flowers. I think Alexander McQueen, shown here, screamed it with flowers!
