Do you guys like flowers? I have a confession. I didn’t. I didn’t like the cheesy concept of flowers wrapped in cellophane with a grocery store price tag and a plastic stick bunny popping out (I actually received this once). Without sounding like a total snob, I’ve rediscovered the simplicity of flowers. So now they’re cool again.

And they’re a total mood lifter. They don’t have to be expensive. I’ve discovered that some $3 stems from Trader Joes placed in a milk jar in my apartment provide a little luxury for the week.

For visual delight, check out Amy Merrick, a floral stylist in New York.

I am *obsessed* with the juxtaposition of flowers in a more industrial setting.

In exactly 10 days I’ll be in New York and I’m hoping to check out the Conservatory Garden in Central Park. Until then, here’s a few floral things for instant gratification.

1. Floral top, Zara. Because floral is the new denim.

2. Floral scented Diptyque candles.

3. Floral printed paper goods from Rifle Paper co.
