I first discovered the butterfly trend on the rise when I went to London in February. In fact, I was so inspired that I bought a silk scarf covered in butterflies just to feel like I was taking back a piece of the oh-so-apparent trend in London back to Italy with me. Well since then, I have seen butterflies EVERYWHERE. Had I thought of the idea for this post earlier, I would have taken pictures of all of the store windows I walked by in London with butterflies... oh well, you will have to take my word for it. To re-enforce the "theme," Shana and I went with the kids one day to the new opening of the Butterfly Exhibition at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. The exhibition was amazing- all different species of butterflies from all over the world flying around in one huge tent. Liv loves butterflies so she was especially excited about it (and the real reason we went), but in the end we all ended up loving it.
I have also seen the use of butterflies in design a lot recently. I think they are such a dainty way to add a little bit of fun and informality to a space. Although I can't take credit for the design (it's all Shana!), I can't talk about butterflies incorporated into interior design without sharing a first hand example I see everyday at home in Rome. They work especially well adding a bit of softness and femininity to the modern interior.
