With the bright, playful garden-party florals of the Spring and Summer behind us, it is hard to believe that a rose by any other name could still smell as sweet, and yet, the Fall has brought with it a new set of blossoms entirely its own for us to covet. In a darker, more sultry approach to the trend, Fall 2012 features modern updates on floral styling – as a stand-out bouquet on a sleek blouse, growing in the overlay of a pair of chic driving gloves, patterned on a statement necklace, scarf or evening clutch, or budding in a neutral tone on a wardrobe staple like the skinny jean. Untamed and irresistible, this cool weather garden is pure style temptation and we are wearing it everywhere.
