Celeb Style: Rachel McAdams Stuns in Peter Som Florals

Hannah Weil — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:23:36 PST

Showing off Peter Som's Spring-ready maxi at the LA premiere of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, Rachel McAdams joined the circle of style setters loving florals. It's not just the print that made us swoon, but the perfect play of proportions and brilliant blue palette we love. Rachel paired Som's understated knit top with the gorgeous full-length print and a few pretty accoutrements to glam up the look for an evening out - though we love that a skirt and top like this could work just as easily with flats and a slouchy tote for day.

What Your Favorite Floral Scent Says About You

Miriam Lacey — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:53:53 PDT

In the Victorian era, florigraphy or "flower writing" was a popular way to communicate messages, with a myriad of flowers, herbs, and other plants taking on nuanced romantic and social meanings. But the Victorians weren't the first to assign flowers meaning, and there's a long history of connecting some of the most popular flowers to specific personality traits and emotions.

In the same way an orchid symbolizes refined beauty, your favorite floral fragrance may be sending a message about your persona and emotions. It's all in good fun, so are you ready to find out what your favored floral "says" about you?

I've always had a thing for mixing patterns. I especially love layering blankets and quilts handmade by my grandmother and mismatching floral, striped, and dotted accent pillows and throws. Currently the floral and stripes combo has caught my eye with its nontraditional look that can either be sweet or energetic, depending on the colors and decorating style. See how this eclectic geometric-meets-organic pairing is inspiring me!
