Thank you Blake Lively for creating a runway show of fabulous floral fashions and accessories.
Promoting her upcoming movie “It Ends With Us” Lively stars as a woman opening a floral shop in Boston. For her role as “Lily Bloom,” the Gossip Girl alumna is cleverly embracing all things floral.
There are the floral dresses from Oscar de la Renta to Pero and Dauphinette.
There are the floral jewelry designs from Lorraine Schwartz.
The floral nails by Enamel.
The floral handbag from Chanel.
The floral shoes from Aquazzura and Malone Souliers.
Even the floral hair designs by Jennifer Yepez.
Then she created a temporary Betty Blooms Pop Up in New York City. The floral boutique is named after Lively’s third daughter with her husband Ryan Reynolds. (They have four children, James 9, Inez 7, Betty 4 and new born son Olin.)
The infusion of all these floral choices are making us all swoon. What is your favorite?
With all this attention for the movie which opens August 9th, the entrepreneurial actress is also busy wearing florals to promote new products.
She wore floral designs to launch her new hair care line, Blake Brown. At the Betty Blooms Pop Up, natch, Betty Buzz and Betty Booze were served. Yes, those are her beverage brands.
And in one shot, she shared how flowers have always been a passion. A peek into her NYC apartment showed a beautiful floral painting by Sage Vaughn.
As we know here at flowerpowerdaily_, flowers make you happy however you connect to them. In fact, they should be staples in anyone’s wardrobe. Lively pointed out how she wore a Vivienne Westwood frock she got 30 years ago. Floral designs have a way of rooting into your wardrobe and give pleasure for years. As do the accessories.
So go out and incorporate some of Blake’s floral immersions into your own life. Happy you will be.
