6 Fab Redux: A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose
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
Garlands have been all over the place lately, but although they're gorgeous, they're also a touch over the top. Get the same festively floral look in a much more wearable form with this pretty, easy-to-do rosette headband. To see how, check out our instructions below. Read more
All that holiday gifting is only half the merriment of the holidays. The rest of it — in our opinion, at least! — comes from the joy of making and savoring special holiday treats that only come once a year. The minute Thanksgiving passed, we move on to dreaming about all the holiday dessert possibilities, and there are simply too many on our to-make list to name. From gingerbread cookies to 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. And if that wasn't sexy enough, she completes her ensemble with a fresh-faced makeup palette and Read more
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. What's also of note is her old Hollywood wavy hairdo — with visible roots, which make it more modern. Read more
