Poppy Season
{fall and winter wardrobe inspired by poppy flowers}
This fall, floral patterns are big. They are showing up everywhere, from the runway to the streets. And perhaps because I’ve named my baby girl Poppy, I have noticed a surge of poppy inspired patterns in particular.
With its deep reds and blacks, it’s truly the perfect fall flower. It’s also the symbol for British Remembrance Day (the equivalent of our Veteran’s Day) or “Poppy Day” – and so everyone on that side of the pond, from the Duchess herself and on, sport a poppy on their lapel for one day this time of year.

In any event, we’re loving this trend. Here are a few great poppy inspired pieces for the office and beyond:
Coach is leading the poppy trend, with bags, dresses, and perfumes in poppy theme. Of their poppy pieces, we love this Turnlock Borough Bag in a poppy inspired pattern. It’s a great work bag (though a bit small if you’re carting around your laptop – in that case, try this tote instead).
We’re loving this poppy inspired dress as well. While it’s not ideal for the office because it lacks the structure that we prefer in office pieces, paired with boots and black tights, it is a darling sheath for a Sunday brunch.
And who wouldn’t love getting a gift that looked like this? Poppy perfume – we’re in love.
This neoprene dress with photo-realistic images of poppies is gorgeous, and, paired with a black blazer, is a beautiful addition to any office wardrobe.
This Donna Morgan poppy dress caught our eye, too – it’s lovely, and would be the perfect thing to wear to an after-hours office holiday party.
For a more abstract take on the poppy, this DVF dress is perfect for work and play. The bold print is beautiful for fall through winter dressing.
Finally, get your glam on with this orange poppy lipstick by Burberry!
