Pretty Patterns

I don't wear a lot of patterns but when I do I always gravitate towards florals and stripes. I especially love them together for a good mix of prints. So while nothing is in bloom yet here in Boston, mother nature has finally graced up with some warmer weather and I am all about adding some Spring fashions into my closet. A few of my favorite prints and patterns are below!

Pretty Petals

One trend I am fully on board with this Spring is floral prints on everything. I seriously cannot get enough! It oozes femininity and elegance but also works well with so many other patterns, specifically stripes. I gathered a few items that boast this blooming print and literally want one of everything. 

one - Ted Baker is clearly loving floral as much as me since he has created an entire line called "Botanical Beauty". I am especially admiring the structured blazer above paired with some destroyed denim and a great tee. 

two - When it comes to Tory Burch it's all about prints. She is the master of mixing them tastefully. This floral tote is quite possibly the most perfect Spring statement bag that resembles more of a piece of vintage art then a piece of fashion.  P.S. Her runway show at NYFW is online today at 9AM!

three - Kate Spade was inspired by Paris in the Spring when she created this blossoming printed scarf. 

four - Rifle Paper may not fall into the fashion category but this floral & metallic gold note card was too pretty to resist sharing. I simply love everything they do. NEED to order those ASAP!

five - I have to dive into the turban headband trend, but after seeing my jewelry idol Lulu Frost looking super chic at NYFW, that all may change. This cheery yellow chiffon hair accessory might be perfect for the frizzy summer hair.  

six - I DIE over this dress. It's petal perfection. The grey floral base with the pops of pinks & purple is so simple and elegant. 

seven -  Dress up your ears with these pretty floral inspired studs. 

eight - BCBG is also on board with floral this upcoming season. These high waisted wide leg pants would look super chic with a fitted tank and high heeled sandal.  

nine -  For those who want a little edge mixed in with their floral prints, this phone case fits the bill.

ten - What's not to love with this little compact that is boasting stripes and a floral pattern in a neutral color palette. A total steal at $4!

eleven - Kate Spade took her parisian garden inspiration and created some seriously pretty jewelry like this statement bracelet. 

twelve - Givenchy never fails when it comes to their sandals. This floral printed pair is no exception. I would like one of every print & color of this shoe.

thirteen -  Pair this pouch with the compact mirror and you have a pretty little set for storing makeup on the go! 

Subtle Floral

Wearing something in the floral trend doesn't always have to mean you need to look like you just took a roll in the garden and be covered in head to toe flower patterns. I personally like testing a trend by selecting a piece that isn't so obvious or in your face. The postage stamp mini below is the perfect example of this. I specifically chose an ensemble that was all J.Crew as they are having an incredible sale right now and who doesn't like saving some dough??? I chose two necklaces because I love layering them with one another and those silver cap toe shoes are seriously calling my name!
