Coming Up Roses

This spring we are noticing pretty petals popping up all over. Faded florals are making a major statement throughout the spring collections with Roberto Cavalli leading the way. Gucci’s latest perfume, Flora by Gucci, is inspired by the fashion house’s iconic flora pattern, originally designed in 1966 and rediscovered by current Creative Director Frida Giannini. With the recent Rizzoli release, Marie-Antoinette and the Lost Garden at Versailles, we get an alluring glimpse into the exquisite French queen’s most personal and private outdoor spaces. And we can’t leave out HBO’s highly anticipated remake of Grey Gardens, a behind the scenes spectacle of the eccentric lives of "Big Eddie" and "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale (relatives of Jackie O), starring Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore. So whether you visit your local florist for fresh blooms or pick-up one of the latest floral finds, just don’t forget to stop and smell the roses. - KL
