You might wonder where this leafy trend came from. All of this is inspired by the classic banana leaf Martinique wallpaper from the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel. When you arrive at the hotel and head down a windy stair case to their diner and pool, the stair well and the Fountain Coffee Bar have been covered in this classic banana leaf print for years. This is where the print started. Now, this print,has exploded this summer to all aspects of fashion and home.

I have one dress with this print. I was inspired by fashion blogger Jennifer Lake. Bestie AM gave it to me! I have yet to wear it in public. A little bold for me but I love it!! Wish me bravery and fashion confidence.
Will you ride this classic print wave this summer? What do you think?
