Honeysuckle Must-Haves
We all know Pantone‘s color of the year (#18-2120 – Honeysuckle, just in case you haven’t heard!) is in fashion this spring, but we’re still waiting for warmer breezes to melt this chilly part of the Northeast… and since Mother Nature won’t be wearing her pale pink blossoms any time soon, we’d happily settle for these pretties!

Who could forget last fall’s images of Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring 2010 fashion show which took place in a huge barn built in the center of the Grand Palais replete with bales of hay and rustic wood beams… The models walked the runway in fabulous double-C clogs, slightly tousled, with straw stuck to their clothes and sporting smirky smiles and temporary tattoos. According to Vogue, the show “was a bumper harvest of everything that is chicly tattered, beribboned, and gloriously made about Chanel, as well as the season’s sole experience to make the anxiety and earnestness around fashion evaporate, to make it seem like fantastic fun again.”
Chanel Spring 2010
And while we think wheat ears and clogs are great barnyard looks, we thought it might be fun to pair one of Chanel’s gorgeous spring outfits from head to toe with the newest in petals and metals.

We are loving all the paper flowers blooming this spring! It all started with Chanel‘s spring fashion show featuring over the top white paper floral headpieces and backgrounds which made the all white collection anything but boring…
Then came Elizabeth Arden‘s print and television ad for Pretty (which we blogged about last month) with beautiful peonies bursting from the background for a modern yet feminine touch…
But it was the most recent installation by floral artist Jo Lynn Alcorn (for designer Amy Lau and Maya Romanoff Wallpapers) at the 2009 Kips Bay Decorator Show House that left us breathless…
We think these paper blossoms are giving faux fleurs a whole new meaning… don’t you?
