Fashion: Hothouse flowers
Treat yourself to some gorgeous blooms: the wear all-year-round kind
A scattering of florals on a dark velvet playsuit is a modern way to embrace the trend. Great with heels – and team with tights as the temperature drops. Playsuit, £269, uk.maje.com. Rose gold vermeil, diamond and pearl earrings, £1,700, and ring, £495, shaunleane.com. Stud earring, model’s own
With ruffles, frills and voluminous sleeves still key, keep everything else simple. Statement earrings are the perfect go-to. Dress, £360, needleandthread.com. Earrings, £280, sorujewellery.com
A touch of velvet ribbon at the waist is a chic way to pick out softer tones in a floral print. Simply match your accessories to complete the look. Dress, £860, zimmermannwear.com/uk. Swan ear cuffs, £278, soniapetroff.com
A silk corsage will bring extra romance to a floral dress. Darker fabrics are key for the season and work well to transition from summer to autumn. Dress, £94.99, reserved.com. Swan ear cuffs, £278, soniapetroff.com. Corsages, small £38.95 and large £42, vvrouleaux.com. Sandals, £185, reiss.com
