To me, the stretch between January and March is painstakingly long. The holiday season is over and the weather is brutal. The only thing that keeps me half awake is the anticipation of spring collections hitting the stores.
One of my favorite trends is floral embellishments and accents. Just like the fresh cuts, different ones evoke different personalities and messages. Candy-hued buds are sweet and romantic, while more abstract interpretations are edgy and modern. Take your pick and arrange wisely.
Chanel showed some beautiful bib necklaces, reminiscent of a dreamy Parisian jardin, atop delicate skirtsuits.
Flowers were also in full bloom at Valentino. An amazing gold petal choker complemented an elegant floor-length gown. This is a wonderful example of how to pull off – and show off – statement jewelry.
The garden motif continued at Burberry Prorsum in a collection entitled “Garden Girls.” Thin metal leaves were clustered together to make fun, long necklaces.
Finally, Marni used its signature touch to recreate resin blossoms. These will be great ornaments to a simple, casual outfit.
The forecast for spring? Sunny and optimistic. Stay tuned for budget-conscious options in upcoming weeks.
