We’ll admit this isn’t a blazer for shrinking violets (geddit?), but give it a try. Slung over a t-shirt or a plain shift dress, this jacket screams ‘Look at me!’ for all the right reasons.
‘Strong, energetic and striking.’ That’s what Stella told reporters at fashion week she was aiming for with her floral collection for spring. This multi-coloured print is romantic without being overly girly – exactly as Ms McCartney intended.
Just when you thought floral prints couldn’t get any prettier, French designer Charles Anastase goes and drops this beautiful dress into the mix. Looking slightly less chaotic than some of the high street offerings, this orchid printed, ruffled and drop-waisted dress lends a little Parisian chic to the proceedings.
These days, there’s probably not a print you can think of that hasn’t been turned into a Converse shoe –the brand even offers a ‘Design Your Own’ service to those lucky gals in the US. Check out their newest addition to the hi-tops collection; this colourful mixed bouquet print.
Spawning a whole host of knock-off copies, this is the dress that everyone and their mum wanted to get their hands on this spring. While Hollywood starlets might be able to put in a personal call to Miss Bartley herself, we mere mortals can pick up this little beauty from Net-A-Porter for the princely sum of £325.
If you have to beg, borrow or steal the money for a piece of Balenciaga this season, then do it! Chief designer Nicolas Ghequiere’s prints are stirring up a storm amongst the celebrity stock, and it’s not hard to see why. This is florals for the real fashionista.
Can’t quite afford the real thing? Pick up a tribute to the Luella original in the form of this layered ra-ra skirt from New Look. At £18, there’s really no excuse not to.
The name Cath Kidston is synonymous with the kind of kitsch florals that are dominating the high street this season, so where better to pick up a flowery treat? This rose print bag is simply perfect for all those picnics in the park (good weather sadly not included).
Let’s face it, as hot as Rihanna looks in one, bikinis always seem to look pretty boring on the rest of us. So, ditch the two-piece this summer and instead opt for a 50s-style all-in-one for lady-like beach chic. This one comes not only with a cute rose print, but also boning under the bust. Ooh la la!
The tea dress is big news for the summer – the ruffled sleeves, V-neck and floaty skirts all hit the fashion nail on the head. Match yours with a vintage-inspired floral print and you’re smokin’.
