We are finding the heady floral fashions of the moment hard to resist. If you are feeling the same way or just want an easy way to adopt this amazing new season trend then read on, as we have the hottest floral buys from accessories to dresses, vintage-esque pieces to designs hot off the catwalk.
A Floral Dress
From vintage-esque floral concoctions to beautiful dusky prairie feel designs, this season the statement dress is all about the floral. Be brave and embrace the full effect by mixing and matching floral prints against each other for a lush, super floral effect. My favourite way to wear my floral dresses? Belted around the waist to break up the print and back with sheer fine lacey hoisery and a pair of bright heels. Divine!

Tops
Appliquéd flowers, beading and lush floral prints – these floral tops are definitely things of lush femininity perfect for soft spring looks. Not a girlie girl who appreciates layer upon layer of floral printed chiffon? Never fear! Just pair these floral tops back with harsh suiting, server 40s tailoring or a little bit of leather for a look which is all together more grounded and less floaty. The Monet top from Dotti would look fantastic behind a sharp suit jacket, a pair of skinny jeans and a heavy buckled pair of peep toe boots – how very runway!
From the very pretty prom inspired corsages, perfect for pepping up old season jumpers and handbags, our pick of the bunch has to be the Chloe boots, although possibly not the most affordable options out there one can't deny their amazing fashion forward appeal. Expect this pair of gorgeous botanical booties to spawn a litany of runway knockoffs plastered in leather look flowers. Of course you can always reach for the floral jewellery – Chanel’s Camelia ring is back again and being used as an inspiration for so many floral jewellery looks this season.
