Fields of flowers flow in the breeze, manipulated by a mist of rain in the early morning. Their scent permeates the meadow, a harmonious haven teeming with life and color. Tall twigs of lavender reach for the summer sky, a sea of purple waving in the wind. Field hamsters scurry through the stalks, while birds dip and dive into the flowing floral tide. You walk among the placid pastures of Provence, France, where lavender reigns supreme. Touch the bashful blossoms, and their scent will billow out and relax you. Pluck one for your hair and bring the calming coquette with you in your travels. Dazzling and decadent, your demure demeanor delights and distracts passers-by, enchanted by your lavender-infused light.
Although it blooms in mid- to late- summer, lavender has made winter fashion come alive, as its soft hues have rocked the runway all year round. Bring its calming qualities into your closet with suits and skirts, cocktail dresses, and sweaters. Fashion a dazzling skirt suit using lavender, with golden buttons and an Onella Blouse, or slip into a Tansy Trench of purple perfection. Brighten up your cold-weather aesthetic with puffer coats and velvet dresses, or infuse your spring style with lofty linen looks and denim jackets with lavender linings.
