Everything’s coming up roses

Floral prints are adorning the pages of most women’s magazines at the moment, particularly the piece of this fashion season – the floral jumpsuit.

Florals tend to be associated with spring, so they are appearing a little later than usual this year, but the variety of colours, fabrics and designs is absolutely amazing.

This playsuit by Joy, at £39, would be ideal paired with either gladiator sandals for a more casual look, or some bright red heels and a clutch, if you’re heading out to dinner on a hot sultry night.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little more unique which will certainly help you to stand out in a crowd, try one of our favourite vintage stores, Martha’s Closet.  We found this absolutely stunning 70s maxi skirt and top for only £54.

Floral patterns have always been a classically English design (well, we’ve got to be proud to be English for SOME reason haven’t we?  But don’t get me started on the football….)  So, to be an English rose, why not pick some pretty matching accessories?

This is a very simple, very pure look, so beware of spoiling it with too many accessories, or an abundance of glitter.

Carry on the flower theme with this gorgeous rose-shaped cocktail ring.  In yellow and white enamel and clear ab diamantes, its size can be adjusted to suit and it will look fabulous with any brightly coloured piece.  Available from Seasonsonline for £7.99.

Alternatively, this blue psychedelic flower resin bangle is both funky and trendy – ideal for that younger, party look.  Seasonsonline has this is in stock for a crowd-pleasing £3.99.

And finally, what about picking up on another of this season’s trends, which particularly materialised at Ascot recently – a hair fascinator?  Let your imagination go wild and be brave enough to leave behind the predictable plain rose.  There are literally thousands of designs and colours out there and this is one of our favourites.

Wow – doesn’t this colour stand out? This fascinator has a carnation shape and is made with a mix of bright pink and more muted green ostrich feathers, finished off with some clear crystal beads.  Because it has both a crocodile clip and a brooch pin fastening, if you feel too self conscious to wear it in your hair, you could fasten it to a sash or your clutch for an instant glam look.  Available from Seasonsonline for £6.99.
