Style I Heart: Emerson Made

It's no secret that I adore everything that comes out of Emerson Made, but I actually love owner Emerson's style even more. Everything she wears is perfection. I love how she balances the whimsy of her flowers with well-tailored menswear basics. So inspiring.

Fluent...

Sometimes I think I should just start a tumblr, because I could easily post pretty pictures all day, every day. I try to restrain myself, and put things in some context, but right now, it's rainy and cold here in DC. I'm avoiding the gym and all I want to do is stare at the peonies I bought at the farmer's market on Sunday and zone out.

So I apologize in advance for my laziness, but I wanted to share these lovely things with you, context be damned.

Trotting Blooms from Emerson Made

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Emerson Made's crazy-cute paper and linen flowers, but their latest release -- "trotting blooms," for your shoes -- just takes it to a whole new level of adorable. Weekend wear for even your saddest pair of work pumps.

Perfect for perking up an outfit for a preppy spring wedding, or just whatever. Although, I would love to see a row of bridesmaids wearing them in assorted colors.

Wild Bouquets from Saipua

They say it's the thought that counts, but do any flowers say I didn't think about you more than a dozen red roses? Boring, lacking in personality and wholly impersonal, they are the the Russell Stover of bouquets, and certainly less delicious. (It's hard to screw up chocolate.)

Instead, I would love to receive a wild-looking bouquet like these arrangements from Saipua, a florist/soap shop in Brooklyn. I love the simple vases and how each arrangement, bouquet and boutonniere looks like it was gathered in a country meadow.

Anyone else with me on the red roses hate or am I asking too much of our sweet, but hapless valentines? I have to admit I still think it's sweet when my boyfriend brings me flowers even though they totally came from the shady guys outside of the metro...then I deconstruct the entire thing and chuck the baby's breath. Blech.
