Floral
prints are making a big comeback this spring after
having been in full bloom on the fall runways back in
2011 at Miu Miu, Givenchy and more. Featuring tropical
Hawaiian breeds, orchids or classic daisies, some prints
look as if they were plucked straight from the garden.
Floral
prints and flower embellishments also made their way
onto the red carpet. At the recent SAG Awards, Julianne
Moore wore a white Chanel haute couture gown with black
flowers, Nicole Kidman chose a Vivienne Westwood gown
with black-and-navy blue floral embroidery and Ellie
Kemper donned a sea-foam green Reem Acra dress also with
floral embroidery.
At
the Academy Awards nominees luncheon in Beverly Hills on
Monday, Jessica Chastain wore the floral trend
especially well in an Erdem flower print and lace dress
from the line’s Resort 2013 collection. It was a
flattering and not overdone combination of bold florals
and soft lace.
Try
the trend for spring in the DKNYC floral print faux wrap
dress from LordandTaylor.com for $104.25, French
Connection Anya Lace Yoke dress for $158 from
Bloomingdales.com or the Sete di Jaipur short dress from
Yoox.com for $29.
Balance
the bold prints with a pair of simple nude heels. Try
the LC Lauren Conrad platform high heels from Kohl’s
for $41.99.
