In Full Bloom

In Full Bloom

Planting a garden is best done in late fall to be certain of the most fantastic spring results. Similarly, spring runway shows happen the fall prior so there is plenty of time to decide when and where to don your fabulous spring finery. Taking the time to plan and cultivate style is as much effort as tending to your geraniums. And as famed gardener Sydney Eddison said, “gardens are a form of autobiography,” so too is your wardrobe.

Put it in Print

Prints, in particular floral, are in abundance for spring and do wonders to wake the senses. The Stella McCartney botanical print A-line coat is a great way to ward of the somewhat frosty early spring months while bidding farewell to winter. Keep on trend by adding a pop of hypercolor like the Jean Paul Gaultier chartreuse braided top over Michael Kors cropped denim, a spring essential. Marni suede slingback wedges and Marni color blocked leather tote round out the ensemble in a fresh and effortless way.

It’s Just Like Candy

There is nothing that says Valentine’s Day more than a beribboned box of fine handcrafted candies. And while nougats and crème centers are divine, confections to adorn the neck and ears are just as sweet. The Lanvin cabochon stone bow necklace begs to be laced about the neck and is feminine without being cloying. Or un-wrap the Bochic carved caramel jade and onyx drop earrings to dangle deliciously from the lobes.

Go See Yossi
