Flower jewellery accessorizes Marc Jacobs' S/S 2011 collection

Flower brooches and corsages just got bigger and trendier with fashion designer Marc Jacob accessorizing his spring summer 2011 collection with huge fabric flowers including leather flower waist belts to create real flash and flamboyance of colour on the catwalk.

Traditionally corsages are known to be worn at weddings and proms, those special celebratory experiences that only happen once in a lifetime. Corsages are usually worn on the wrists, lapels, shoulders and hair with oriental florals being a particular favorite of mine to be worn in the hair. But Marc Jacobs takes it a step further and glamorizes the neck and the waistline with super sized elaborate corsages and flower brooches in vibrant reds, pink, oranges and gold.

This super size floral look may not be new for some of us especially Sex and the City viewers who may remember seeing this over sized floral corsage look on Carrie Bradshaw in her arrival in Paris ensemble - a Sonia Rykiel Top and Skirt with large flower on the front. Carrie does like her corsages as you can see from the white corsage dress she wore in Sex and the City - The movie. 

What Jacobs does differently with his corsage and flower accessory look is to add huge colour and texture to the trend creating huge impact and intrigue. Munique’s handmade hibiscus flower leather necklace is right on trend for this flower jewellery look.  Handmade jewellery never looked better, painted by hand, this handmade necklace is as lifelike as it gets.  This flower necklace is also available in red, peach and gold.

And I just think that this butterfly brooch from Lupin handmade is just cute and gorgeous and so very apt for a spring summer look.

Crochet dresses a spring summer must have

Unbelievable sunshine yesterday and today and tomorrow is fore casted to be a cracker as well. Is this the first signs of spring? Still pretty chilly in the morning with de-icing a must but it’s been warming up brilliantly. Dare I get my spring /summer wardrobe out? I’m hopeful and I see that the daffodils and crocuses are out in full bloom. So even if it is still a little cold it is the perfect opportunity to fill up on some Vitamin D.

With such beaming sunshine I felt I simply had to dress to suit the weather so out came my multicoloured crochet dress, one of my favorite summer wear and very popular on the catwalk spring summer 2011 with designers Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Rodarte and Peter Jensen. I have had this dress for four summers and as with classic styles it just never goes out of style so I’m going to invest in this white short sleeved crochet dress from La Redoute and wear with my sea shell copper handmade necklace and rose summer leather sandals to keep the ethnic trend going.
