As Pretty as a Peony
A look that popped up all over the runways in September was completely gorgeous flower inspired dresses. I know flowers for spring, big surprise. But it wasn’t as much of a floral print as actual flowers or dresses that make you feel like the prettiest peony. YSL sent many garden-nymph inspired dresses down the runway that looked like a meadow of violets one of which was a gorgeous purple mini-dress. Valentino, Thakoon, Rodarte and Alexander McQueen both sent down a flowery dress or two. Though McQueen’s idea may be the extreme with a dress that looks slightly like a topiary, this flower child trend is one of my favorites for spring.

My problem was how do I sport it with out looking like a set piece from the Secret Garden. This question was answered when I saw this uber-cute headband in Glamour. I know the head band is pretty expensive but it’s so adorable, and I absolutely need it. The flowers on the headband are made of dupioni silk and accented with white Austrian crystals. The headband itself is only about an inch wide so it won’t overwhelm as much as accentuate. It not only comes in yellow in black it comes in blue, pink, brown, and white too. So this Spring, don’t just stop and smell the roses, be one.
