Florals Have Bloomed For Spring:

{ Via Alice+Olivia}

As Amanda Priestly once said "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." She was right. But this season's flowers aren't your average garden variety. They are muted and modern, bold and beautiful, hand painted and haute. In other words, they are different. Which daisy will you pick?

A refined statement piece that moves with you. I love the illusion of the florals.

The Ginger Clutch

Hand painted red poppies are artfully scattered on this classic clutch. Artist, and my friend, Elizabeth Rose Krieger, added black crystals to the poppies  for an elegant touch. Loving it with the dress above. But I can also imagine what it will do to your little black dress! See her fabulous bags at....

Florals For Spring ~ Groundbreaking!

{ Angelika Rosam }

The title of this post is a quote from one of my favorite movies, The Devil Wears Prada. Amanda Priestly was quick on the quips. And though every spring, flowers bloom in fashion, this season the flowers grow more stylishly. 

This Alice + Olivia cape stopped me in my tracks. It literally made me want to stop and smell the roses. It's one of Spring's statement makers.

Beaded Structured Bag

Beads and sequins work well together. The beaded handle brings it all together.
