Secret Garden

Remember when you were young and had a wild and vivid imagination…everything was whimsical, extravagant, crazy, and anything but impossible.

And now that you are an adult with responsibilities, headaches, and heartaches, you forget those innocent days. But now that spring is in full bloom take a day for yourself and retreat to your backyard, your own secret garden. While sipping lemonade and reading your favorite Jane Austen book (or whatever book catches your fancy) you gaze up, the sun lightly kisses your skin as the beams peak through the tall bamboo shading you from the outside world. The butterflies and hummingbirds fill your intimate garden space with a burst of color. The waterfall (you put in last summer) makes a subtle bubbling sound as the water flows ever so gently into the serene koy pond (you put in before the waterfall) in one corner of your peaceful sanctuary.

All these blissful elements don’t have to be exclusive to the backyard, you can also incorporate them into your wardrobe. By mixing and matching color, prints, and solid neutrals, your fantasy garden will no longer be a secret. Check out these picks!

Flapper Inspired Looks

Put on your drop waist dresses, a string of pearls, and your dancing shoes, and head down to your local Speakeasy (password: Style) for a good time! This season Flapper-inspired fashions have paved the way for many cute pieces for spring. One of the most elegant and prolific designers of our time, the Miss Coco Chanel, epitomized 1920’s style, and changed the way society viewed fashion.

The neutral tones of navy, cream, and beige and the simple shapes that didn’t have elaborate definition or detail, have been re-invented in 2008, taken to a whole new level of sophistication. A mixture of masculine inspired pieces and sultry feminine accessories give this look a very natural and easy feel.

These looks can be worn during the day while out shopping, picnicking, or just enjoying the spring atmosphere, and then can be taken straight to evening for a night of dinner, dancing, and maybe even some romancing! Prohibition won’t keep you away from these flirty, fabulous, and fun favs that are going to be a staple in your closet. Check them out!
