because every woman loves flowers

i'm sure by now you've heard of Emerson Made, the delightful company that makes these handmade linen and flower brooches. you only have to be confident enough to let them brighten up any coat, button-down, cardigan, or sweater.

here is the stylish owner and her dashing husband (note the smaller version he's sporting on his lapel, for those of you wary of making such an over-sized statement), having a snow brunch with hot tea and toast. aren't they just a darling couple?

Another way to wear faux fowers is at the waist, as seen in Paris at Rochas Spring 2010 collection. a little more discreet and tres chic! also, can't get enough of the saffron and peach they showed.
