Flower Power: Rock the Floral Trend this Season
Flirty floral styles are everywhere this season!

While this classic trend has never gone out of style, floral prints and patterns will certainly be making a much more diverse statement for summer 2012. Betsey Johnson mixed vibrant colors with oversized tropical floral prints for her spring/summer 2012 collection, while Prada brought back the mod-look, and still others like Valentino and Isaac Mizrahi took a romantic approach.

The options for this look are endless this coming season and everyone has the capability to look stylish in floral pants, jewelry, handbags, tops or dresses. Exude elegance with some of these simple pieces, or go bold and pile on the flower power!

Beautiful floral dresses are a summer staple. We love the variety of cuts available from '50s 'wiggle' dresses to kimodo styles, there's a design for just about everyone.
