Blooming

Flowers are in full bloom this season...in a much more dynamic manner, with collections from the likes of Mary Katrantzou and Erderm how can you resist this immense pop of floral? This Spring/Summer the spring trend is all over floral and I mean all over! Everywhere from blouses, to skirts, trousers to heels printed with flowers to fully multi neon tones floral suit jackets. Below are the two designers that have inspired me the most for this trend biting...

Mary Katrantzou — Spring/Summer 2012 Collection inspiration
Marys blending of various prints together with floral is like no one else's in the industry, she has definitely set her self apart from all designers in the way she creates magnetic collections.

Overwhelming amount of colour and prints but obviously in the most inviting way possible

Erdem — Spring/Summer 2012
Erderm has once again brought the floral to live in the most lady like way — reminds me Pearl Harbour costume wardrobe in a sense. Different floral prints on top each other, colliding and clashing but working so well together by the use of right size of print and right tones with each other.

When buying floral pieces from the high street stores, a great to go shop is River Island especially for the floral inspired heels! As you will see below...
