Love It or Hate it? Rosette Accents

CasaSugar — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:00:00 PDT

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 the hills. How do you feel about rosette accents? Yea or nay?

Trend Alert: Big Blooms

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:00:22 PST

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 home; I'm sure Leighton would second my emotion.

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.

Trend Alert: Rosey Toes

FabSugar — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 02:00:22 PST

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 of them. Do they have you feeling rosey?

SATC Movie Sneak Peek! Carrie's Flower Power Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 14:00:22 PDT

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 dress has awesome ruching and a splash of gold metallic...and what I adore most is the contradiction between the femme dress and the masculine shoes. And I spy a Barneys shopping bag!

How do you feel about this one?

Met Gala: Salma Hayek

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 May 2011 17:26:48 PDT

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 wow-factor waves. Do you think Salma's look is hot?

Met Gala: Mia Wasikowska

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 May 2011 16:52:09 PDT

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. Overall, are you loving?Vote on all of our Met Gala polls here!
