As a trend watcher, I’m always intrigued when a very specific trend catches on. And this spring, orchids are the talk of the town. The exotic flower has worked its way to one of the most apparent trends of the season. Whether it’s orchid jewelry, hair accessories, the most coveted bridal bouquet, a patterned print or orchid scented perfume, the orchid has become the classy alternative to a simple rose. This elegant flower is available in an array of colors and shapes and because the trend has seeped into all areas of fashion, it’s easy to add orchids to your spring wardrobe.

Orchids are in Full Bloom

Orchids are in Full BloomAs we have seen, beachy textured hair has resurfaced as a popular look for spring/summer. The effortless, thrown-together look of full soft waves, just a hint of frizz and a whole lotta just-rolled-out-of-bed, is an easy way to sex-up a casual look. This beauty trend is topped off when an orchid hair accessory is added to the mix. Taking the already sexy ‘do and boosting it into the realm of “I should be strolling the beaches of Bora Bora right now.” These subtle details go a long way- making you appear unfussy and natural but overtly feminine. And that continues to be my style mission of the season.
