POINTEDLEY LOVELY

Everything's coming up roses these days as an abundance of floral prints are still finding themselves on the runways and homes for the second spring season. Not being much of a floral girl myself, it's hard to find the patterns that I think work for me, but these definitely do the trick...
Pixelated roses take their cue from needlepoint stitching, mixing a vintage craft with modern sensibilities (rug photo via Lonny). I was totally struck by Rachel Roy's pre-fall collection which executed the pattern perfectly!
It reminded me of the Thakoon rug I've been drooling over and is also mimicked in this bag that I've been eying at Anthropologie. A perfect spring compliment, and an alternative to an all over floral pattern, I like taking these mini trends in mini doses.
