Philadelphia Flower Show

I know, I know; it feels like spring will never come.  That we will be forever stuck in a polar vortex of ice and misery.  That Mother Nature has picked us as her particular whipping boy this year.

To that, the Philadelphia Flower Show says: screw you, Mother Nature!  We’ll just bring spring ourselves!



This year’s theme is ARTiculture, and the PFS has partnered with over a dozen art museums both near and far to give us a burst of spring in the style of Picasso, Dalí, Monet, and more.  Keep the theme going with some artsy posies on your toesies!



Bold brush strokes, bright colors… the Floral Print Stilettos by Show Story looks like Van Gogh to me!  Blues and pinks and yellows—it makes me feel happy just to look at it.  It has a serious heel, but the platform is nearly two inches so it won’t feel as tall as it looks.  Also available in a blue/purple combo; your choice for $34 from Amazon.



The Lilico by Sophia Webster is very Roy Lichtenstein-esque, isn’t it?  The polka dots, the bright colors, the graphic flowers… too perfect!  There are even stripes up the four-inch heel—I just adore these.  If you agree, “pick” up a pair (ha ha! like picking flowers) at Saks for $595.



Ooh, watercolor impressionism!  The Stecy by Steve Madden is a simple sandal, but it’s all about the fabric here: a delicate floral in pinks and oranges and blues.  It’s on the strap at the toes, the slender ankle strap, and around the 3.75-inch heel…beautiful!


*Happy sigh*  Well, I feel a little better now.  Take that, winter!  The Flower Show is the harbinger of the spring, and you can’t keep it away for much longer!

The Flower Show runs through Sunday, so hurry over and get a taste of spring before it's gone!  Tickets are $27.
