Chic Trend: 10 best floral pieces for the season

Ever since European queens donned floral ornamentation in portraits, flowers have appeared in hundreds of stylised forms, and have persisted even as the fashion cycle changes. They were popular in the 1940s, 1960s, and recently then in the last decade.

With girls around rhe world wearing florals this season, how do you embrace the pattern and still stand out? I’ve made it easier with some of the best floral fashion choices for the season, in dresses, tops, and accessories. Florals this season are bright and dark, modern and vintage, delicate and bold. Match them to your mood and have fun!

Take a look:

Psstt… My pick from these floral pieces is the top from French Connection. Love the colourful artsy print on the dark background!

Chic Trends: Rosey accessories for Valentine’s Day

Author Speaking ChicPosted on 4 Comments

Who says roses are too cheesy for Valentine’s Day? Flowers still speak a thousand words. And even if your special someone may not send you 100-flower bouquets, you can wear roses to liven up your Valentine’s Day wardrobe. (And maybe to drop a hint or two! ;-))

The simplest way to wear roses? Rosettes, of course! There are plenty of rosette accessories to choose from this season. We show you the chic ones.

Rosette brooches

Pin a rose on on your shoulder blade or use it to keep a scarf in place.

Necklace

Rosettes on jewellery? We like! Wear a statement necklace of rosettes with a dress or feminine blouse, and skip other pieces of jewellery.

Cuffs

Bare shoulder, spaghetti straps or going sleeveless? Wear a rosette cuff to draw attention to your toned arm.

Red dresses are this winter’s LBDs, or so they say. But red isn’t the only colour popping up all over town. Other rocking colours for party dresses I’ve been spotting are green and white. Check out our top trendy party dress picks in these colours.

Red is an instant attention-grabber. If you’re bold, love being the cynosure at a party, then red is your colour for 2011.

After seeing some fabulous green evening dresses, I’ve begun to believe that green is the most underrated colour in fashion. What say?

The colour of snow and winter, and can make you stand out among a sea of dressed-in-black partygoers. Add pop-coloured accessories and makeup to avoid looking too pale.
