Banana Leaves & Palm Fronds – Tropical Design

June 15, 2017
  • Share

Over the course of the last few weeks, I have seen a lot of my best friends who live all over the country.  Last week best of friend FF and her hubby CCF were in town.  We had a great time.  Three weeks ago I was in NYC with best of friend AM and her hubby JE and best of friend A.Ro. in the Hamptons.

I give you all of this detail to tell you that, oddly enough, the thing that stood out to me the most in all of my visits with my friends was the prevalence of banana leaves and palm fronds in decor and fashion!!!  Tropical, jungle, leafy prints are so “in” and my besties were right on trend.  From clothing, to accessories, to home decor, this summer is about the tropical prints…they are EVERYWHERE!

Best of friend AM showed up wearing a skirt and shoes with a banana leaf print AND she has a room in her Hamptons home that is covered in the banana leaf print (she is a trendsetter because she designed the room years before this leafy design craze).  Then in Los Angeles, bestie FF stepped out in a Dolce Gabbana dress with the same print and she matched the pillows at the upscale Jean Georges restaurant at the new Waldorf Astoria where we had dinner.

Read on to see my besties in their banana leafs and some other cute shoppables too…

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?
