The Darling Buds of May

Rochas, Stella McCartney and Erdem, Spring 2010 - photos courtesy style.com 

Beautiful buds have popped up everywhere this spring, from bold, bright sprays of flowers to tiny, dainty prints, from impressionistic renderings to true-to-life.  From clutches to shoes to headwraps to ultra-femme frocks, flowers are making a lasting impression on everything this season.  I love that the floral print has finally broken free of its mold, no longer willing to be typecast as the sweet girl-next-door Betty, constantly overshadowed by her bad-ass bud, Veronica.  The florals at Rochas, Stella McCartney and Erdem perfectly demonstrate how versatile and downright sexy the flower can really be.  And now that April showers have finally exited stage left, it's the perfect time to indulge in a few May flowers of your own. 

These pretty finds will have you tiptoeing through the tulips just in time for the warm weather (Cute gardener not included):
