Floral Blossoms

By Stephanie Skangos

The latest enhancement to your wardrobe this season comes in the form of a bouquet or a single floral bloom.  From rings to necklaces, handbags to shoes, flowers are blooming all over the accessory scene.  Designers such as Vera Wang, Betsey Johnson and Badgley Mischka have added life to their accessories by incorporating a rose here, an orchid there, and a peony here and there!

Badgley Mischka’s already feminine shoes get ultra-girly with flower accents, as seen in the Carlo Shoe, where blossoms made of tulle are placed at the heel to add a romantic touch.   Vera Wang combines metal rocker with feminine-chic by planting crystal roses on brass chain necklaces, bracelets and cuffs; while Betsey Johnson transforms the typical handbag into a romantic, wreathed creation by accenting a leather satchel with soft leather blooms.  The addition of silver studs to the bud accent adds an edgier vibe to an otherwise feminine satchel. 
Whether you’re looking for a pretty clutch for a romantic evening out, or a unique necklace to dress up a pair of jeans and a tee, there are floral accents out there for everyone.  Just remember to use blooming accessories sparingly.  You don’t want to look like a walking garden.
