Rosette Home Decor Accents: Love It or Hate It?

I've noticed a lot of rosette accents on pillows and handbags lately. While a rosette throw pillow is certainly a cute way to repurpose an old bridesmaid's dress, I can't say it's a trend I can handle too much of.

Celebrity Style: Audrina Patridge

The Cloverfield premiere in LA looked more like a party for The Hills. Audrina Patridge was among the more conservatively dressed cast members present, and she looked simple and cute in her green Phillip Lim minidress. Check out the darling swirl appliqués around the neck. To dazzle up her look a bit, I gave her a leopard clutch and a funky bracelet. Shop This Look Read more

Celebrity Style: Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth worked the rosettes in her Alice + Olivia dress while dining out with her boyfriend at Il Sole restaurant in LA. Another trend she was working was leggings. I would have preferred her bare-legged in this case because the dress is pretty enough to stand on its own. Despite the fact that the leggings deflower the look, she still manages to look fresh and youthful. CS: Kate Read more

When you think of sensual, Salma Hayek likely comes to mind, and undoubtedly her Alexander McQueen look will be remembered for years to come thanks to its curve-hugging design. Salma's peach-toned gown features a one-shoulder sweetheart neckline, draping into a rosette pattern at the waistline.

Mia Wasikowska 2011 Met Gala

Miss Alice in Wonderland herself opted for the rather un-costumey color of black for the 2011 Met Gala. But, in this case, the details are all in the embellishments: from the voluminous skirt, to the plunging rosette v-neck, to the patent pumps, Mia's black dress is anything but boring.
