Open your minds to every form of beauty."  Amen sister! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJI8-MvoUtqK2Vfm-dR3FytT34lYohQM1LBIB3TTs6BEgx5HRU1OuX70PZ0f5RMF1-F1atVpjA4rRBVyITSFtR8PAetjwBKIwMBaS9LXpni9YPi5amgXKpxbFPWiyuNKmFtbGJgyQ7ylEX/s1600/lilacs+1951.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I am also desperately missing American <em>Vogue Living</em> and even more so after flipping through the Spring/Summer 2008 issue and seeing this fabulous floral feature. Has it really been that long since it was last published?! So depressing. So glad that I have my back issues to cheer me up! Hope this flowers bring you some cheer today too!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjksXOa3WWoDGXoPpgzHGn5qEEwaUY-r98c7uRUZo2uXo7V2ELHAFtAQIAa9AQRosUB_bmPYQdLtpnpDi6v4GWr9SOlLi75RU4pRgMDKzIVKCHPS4SQX8JmGoNVDSvYfPkzgWNKaOgeRSW/s1600/5stevenmeisel.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471882352774527202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjksXOa3WWoDGXoPpgzHGn5qEEwaUY-r98c7uRUZo2uXo7V2ELHAFtAQIAa9AQRosUB_bmPYQdLtpnpDi6v4GWr9SOlLi75RU4pRgMDKzIVKCHPS4SQX8JmGoNVDSvYfPkzgWNKaOgeRSW/s400/5stevenmeisel.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio_y29sIO1g2kVhuONaFZsFYlXxTrhEcbMlvO7DXYEGVJbYQEc9IBIUTNQ0WTGLbu7ayEfINpP-fyyCPxD9pHwc1TUjzv6B1RItp_qAcIKNsn2prq4iK49vA0d54Q4LUBqwMSgd3r1QOCS/s1600/4stevenmeisel.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471882271381063298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio_y29sIO1g2kVhuONaFZsFYlXxTrhEcbMlvO7DXYEGVJbYQEc9IBIUTNQ0WTGLbu7ayEfINpP-fyyCPxD9pHwc1TUjzv6B1RItp_qAcIKNsn2prq4iK49vA0d54Q4LUBqwMSgd3r1QOCS/s400/4stevenmeisel.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxL2kBxf9LJHIcHFYZgY6Loly0BH_KbYpQk3nQ6jVd76zrjKj255y3MMkXA7yVNol2xLGrVZ_9J9jbkFc5l_2vwbNGgaHsTyV5cEHsC2rkpa-wWkpFC88uLPKLVcfHB2BgctNd4WvTAb5H/s1600/7stevenmeisel.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471882199593450994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxL2kBxf9LJHIcHFYZgY6Loly0BH_KbYpQk3nQ6jVd76zrjKj255y3MMkXA7yVNol2xLGrVZ_9J9jbkFc5l_2vwbNGgaHsTyV5cEHsC2rkpa-wWkpFC88uLPKLVcfHB2BgctNd4WvTAb5H/s400/7stevenmeisel.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1tV0Jzom7zGVpyezlHV7_t6TWKTo7JW9H4Kg3gax_ltLKd9sdMjUeo7RMrFtLBMrnMon0CZsaGBABNunIHaJFDoldF1pzr_1LzO3uQci3aN9bsfcNJ4UNLvOLJJgIgTnx9iHunOkWCIH/s1600/6stevenmeisel.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471882090750245586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1tV0Jzom7zGVpyezlHV7_t6TWKTo7JW9H4Kg3gax_ltLKd9sdMjUeo7RMrFtLBMrnMon0CZsaGBABNunIHaJFDoldF1pzr_1LzO3uQci3aN9bsfcNJ4UNLvOLJJgIgTnx9iHunOkWCIH/s400/6stevenmeisel.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhod1Oqnue1N5QoFXFnT5PvqGFX8D0tK8qJiyOwFk-Wk1mhd35tza1CkOKbacIXdfvMUQOMNvolgOA_w8gvRV2cKyGGlkFprbW2uTFqGKlkfyQEbrOuKCyIujiZSIyq_n9a6BPyRMMUBb6g/s1600/3stevenmeisel.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471882011014454850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhod1Oqnue1N5QoFXFnT5PvqGFX8D0tK8qJiyOwFk-Wk1mhd35tza1CkOKbacIXdfvMUQOMNvolgOA_w8gvRV2cKyGGlkFprbW2uTFqGKlkfyQEbrOuKCyIujiZSIyq_n9a6BPyRMMUBb6g/s400/3stevenmeisel.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4KGu-X8RlF-WuZS_8_qH9K7nCG2B4KqX8obxqJXC6ksC826qJi1az0BU5G0YAMPUAf0URAIFvtuVpNvBimuBLits44p-DBWgQKCOk0VXYcHVtKAKEwQv37n8UT_wYI8yMAussLc8hqhmx/s1600/8stevenmeisel.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471881930254435010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4KGu-X8RlF-WuZS_8_qH9K7nCG2B4KqX8obxqJXC6ksC826qJi1az0BU5G0YAMPUAf0URAIFvtuVpNvBimuBLits44p-DBWgQKCOk0VXYcHVtKAKEwQv37n8UT_wYI8yMAussLc8hqhmx/s400/8stevenmeisel.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 294px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">Photos by Steven Meisel</span></div></div></div></div></div></div>

It reminded me of early spring, when most of the landscape is still muddy brown, there's frost on the ground at sunrise, and the very first pink and red flower buds begin to pop open. With that inspiration in mind, I decided to do a little digging to find some pretty, little items that would remind me of that feeling all year long -- delicate, feminine florals, vintage-inspired frocks, pale and shimmering neutrals and of course, roses everwhere.</p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Image via White Trash Beautiful</span><br /></p><p><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426757832892116962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXSNICdEvGjJWt89sUFMzbLE-vLXWId-05JS874kxdnNz14oY4WwjJtZiwS3BOOr_w4DIqna3xQiHr63jDuh8lgeAbk-AHucBH2BUYWjgUDrEbQ65MVcxn2gK2EW_v8HZr_CkmrglpVI8/s400/2010-01-13_232743.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 344px; cursor: pointer; height: 274px; text-align: center;" />Left to right: <strong>1.</strong> Kimchi Blue Floral 80s Strapless Dress (Urban Outfitters) <strong>2.</strong> Tissue Sparkling Rose Tee (J.Crew) <strong>3. and 4.</strong> Cabbage Rose Underpinnings (Anthropologie) <strong>5.</strong> Slub Silk Daydream Floral Lorelai Dress (J.Crew) <strong>6.</strong> Smith's Minted Rosebud Salve (Anthropologie) <strong>7.</strong> 1928 french paperback book (French Blue & Company)<br /></p><p><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426757839438208402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFJJ_HU_CDnW0O4SfFoo6IHAqpoRsrCWOPlSDAbQ5-EPHENxNUu1HLk_ZPuTx0UwhnqkFRt2emep40_PZFzm-jX2FRPd_8QhMaNwUctLsUZ0OVOxrVu5URYhBhJKwwKWJzkhFlOTv2Gx8/s400/2010-01-13_233526.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 330px; cursor: pointer; height: 198px; text-align: center;" /><strong>1.</strong> Abundant Callas Necklace (Anthropologie) <strong>2.</strong> Rose Fight Knuckle Ring (Free People) <strong>3.</strong> Tea Rose Necklace (Urban Outfitters) <strong>4.</strong> Girl's Night Out Necklace (Bejewelled Bespoke) <strong>5.</strong> Iced Rosette Clutch (Anthropologie) <strong>6. and 7.</strong> Rosette Necklaces (Flora Bond)</p><p><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426757850417534738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5csESwh71WlyTELotw1NbgBS4a-g3qsu5BckLKo4PChpRjGRlWG0gag0w4Xqoeu5TJUsrv9d-hcYWxy-bIWC1EiBZ3LeRn8jfevN2SGPgkrdDEj2tAOpB8n3fQgfo_MYNP5L9c-sVnZk/s400/2010-01-13_235827.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 352px; cursor: pointer; height: 260px; text-align: center;" /><strong>1.</strong> The Warbler Embroidered Collage Pillow (La Pomme) <strong>2.</strong> Filigree Gocco Print (Flower Press) <strong>3.</strong> Moonflower Pillow Cover (MishMosh) <strong>4.</strong> Vintage 1960s Flat Top Sheet (The Linen Lavoir) <strong>5.</strong> One of a Kind Ceramic Plate (Anthropologie) <strong>6.</strong> Garden Party Curtain Tie Back (Urban Outfitters)</p><p><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426757844630915970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA6a49VoZd4-wnSZ7lhvSGc5qLjPAf3H-2niZxWkgqhTmHRcopiveetHYj4B0UM9rxMbJ-KJq1kd5fQwLu_WUk7sRvb6IK2kTisjZHSZnwh7r6feFXQP8Q5COzbt9tWTPsswa69laLmoM/s400/2010-01-13_234016.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 422px; cursor: pointer; height: 278px; text-align: center;" /></p><p><strong>1.</strong> Image via Wedding Whims <strong>2.</strong> From O'Keeffe Necklace (Anthropologie) <strong>3.</strong> Allamanda Necklace (Anthropologie) <strong>4.</strong> Mute Blue Rosette Ring (Brydferth) <strong>5.</strong> Olivia Flower Bib Necklace (Bebecha)<br /></p>
