As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers.” After a rough winter, and the standard black-on-black ensembles, a cheerier wardrobe and beauty regimen is in order. Commemorate a brighter, warmer season of blooming buds with these floral-scented, flower-inspired and patterned picks.
Smelling Nice
Fresh flowers are nice, but bottling them up can be better. Suave pink freesia and jasmine petals, blended with delicate rose bud, are the ingredients in BOSS MA VIE Pour Femme. The fragrance is floral and fit for the confident woman.

Working Out
Whether exercising amongst the greenery, or in the gym, take daisies with your workout – wherever that may be. The Lole Danica Tank Top is made with elastane, which allows movement. The top also includes a wicking treatment to keep skin free of moisture. For those super sunny days, the fabric delivers UPF 50+ protection to combat harmful UV rays.
$60. Lole, 112 Mercer St., 212-226-6820, lolewomen.com
Hairstyling
Makeup, moisturizer, hairspray – fitting it all in one purse can be a hassle. But hair doesn’t have to suffer if your makeup bag has limited space. Developed by Brooklyn designer Heather Burkman, with a limited edition floral pattern by Brooklyn designer Julia Rothman, the plastic Go-comb is the size of a credit card. It easily fits into wallets and is perfect for women (as the name suggests) who are on the go.
