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. When it comes to girlish décor, I'll get behind a bit of pink and some pale green in small doses, but too many three-dimensional florals in my midst and I'll go running for Read more
It's time to scout your holiday dress of the season, and how can you resist the sweet smell of big blooms? Leighton sparkled in this blue, brush-painted rose silk bow front dress with patent belt by Prabal Gurung. If feminine and frilly is your thing, this is your lucky season. Oversize rosettes and flower motifs are not only in style, but quite classic, endlessly pretty. I say go dramatic or go Read more
Time to stop and smell the roses! If you're in the mood for girly, consider these vintage nude heels ($48), particularly if you're a size 8. They're from the '70s, and have a cute fabric rosette center — perfect for a feminine Spring frolic. Read more
I'm beginning to feel like my plain old shoes are, well, plain. After checking out twinkle toes and 24/7 flats, we know have the option of rosey toes. I'm on the fence; I've always had a love/hate relationship with rosettes and it seems they are blossoming yet again. They were all the rage last Winter and when I take a look at the suspects below, I have to say: I love some of them and hate some Read more
Behold, SJP's second outfit as Carrie Bradshaw, the movie! It's different from the green getup we saw her in a couple days ago, but equally unique. This white number is extra dramatic thanks to the oversized flower perched on the shoulder, a throwback to SATC Season 3. I like this look, even though only Carrie could pull it off. Never a fan of rosettes or overbearing flower details, aside, the Read more
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: Rebecca Taylor Rosette Minidress, $372. A few more, read more Read more
A jaguar by any other name would still look as sweet . . . but it wouldn't technically be a jaguar. You see, even though some people call out these species interchangeably, I've zoomed into the photos from our big cats quiz to illustrate the spotty difference between the three. Leopard (Scientific name: Panthera pardus): These cats have a pattern that looks flower like — called rosettes — Read more
Dakota Fanning gave us a true fairy-tale moment on tonight's Met Gala red carpet. The actress showed her sweet style sensibility in a princess-worthy, lavender Louis Vuitton gown. The confection spoke perfectly to her youth with soft textured rosettes and a romantic off-the-shoulder neckline. Her accessories were equally feminine, comprising a glittering bracelet and flower barrettes tucked into Read more
Spring is just around the corner, and if yours (like mine) involves a lil girl's birthday party, prepare yourself for some serious inspiration. Florida-based illustrator, stationary designer, and party planner Kori Clark of Paper & Pigtails (cutest name ever!) designed this flower-filled birthday party for her 4-year-old daughter, Charlotte. Full of beautiful details like fabric rosettes, Read more
Giorgio Armani delivered the art of slick suiting and a master class in bold color for Fall 2012. We're not just mesmerized by the double and triple vision stunts Armani pulled on his catwalk — though the sight of two or three models in the same sharp suiting, brilliant fuchsia and orange, and slick fedoras really drives the point home. Still, even without the "special effects," the collection Read more
