(Rebel) English Rose

20 Oct

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” – William Shakespeare

A bit of literature for you there! (Romeo and Juliet incase you were wondering)…

Following on from the summers floral trend, it’s the rose that’s this seasons must have flower- and what a beautiful flower it is!

There is something quintessentially English about the rose print, it reminds me of English tea parties, cakes and scones- how cute! But this seasons flower print has a slightly more gothic feel to it: Dark or bright coloured roses on black, feminine with an edgy touch. Skin’s actress Kaya Scodelario softens her rose print top (from New Look) with denim shorts, though we’d opt for some tights if you want to rock that look during these cold times!

If you’re not too girly like me then toughen up your rose prints with a biker jacket or a black blazer like our fave Hill’s star Lauren Conrad.
